    I'm not sure what you've done...could we see the original please?
    Also please use the UCP attachment system to attach images. In most of your recent threads, you've uploaded the images to imageshack. It is actually UCP law to use the UCP attachment system . It ensures the images are never lost.

    uh... okay....
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I don't think you'd ever see girls dressed like that circa 1956. Just a thought.
    UCP's biggest (only?) fan of the '74-'76 Mercury Cougar.
    UCP's proudest owner of a '74 Cougar

    My favorite color is chrome.

    Not the modern idea of street racer, no. But back in the day when you were but a twinkle in your mother's eye, kids would go street racing in old souped-up Fords and Chevys. However, even those could be beaten by stock, brand-new, top-of-the-line models, such as Cadillacs or Buicks. Ever seen the movies "American Grafitti" or "Grease"? In this case, Mr. Detroitmetal is suggesting that Billy has "borrowed" his father's Buick to go racing. These folks are the spiritual ancestors of the Fast and the Furious crowd.

    You keep criticizing his chops, could you post some of yours we can compare them to?
    At least he's trying and sharing what's he done. Ease off, you rip into each and every one of mrdetroitmetals chops. I don't see anything coming from your side.

    Keep up the good work detroitmetal. You can only improve with practise . I like the reflections you added on the ground.

    NO. Alais Sketchbook Pro & Corel paint/photo....
    but consider that I want a "painted" style image.

    ...& I am used to the critics choice type comments,
    All just water off a ducks ASS to me !...lol !
    Seriously tho, I DO appreciate the C&C on my work.
    It helps me to define where to go next with what, &
    not always in the reccomended direction either...!!!
