Great images

These are great and I'd love to see more. I notice a lot of requests for images of their awesome rides. At the risk of putting Craig out of work, is there any way of showing how we can do this ourselves? I'm just sayin' so that you don't feel this has to become a fulltime job .

Having spoke to Craig after he helped me out a few years back I got to asking what program he used for these creations as I too did not want to hinder the master, and he told me he used Coreldraw, so I downloaded a trial version and got to working on some trial works
This was my first published one I did after a few months trial all my own work with hints from Craig :-

Along with this one :-


Now don't get me wrong these are damn hard, I watched plenty of you tube vids on Coreldraw along with the help from Craig.
My time for the cars has been put on hold as they take so long to do, and I can never seem to get them looking right, but I will not give up, bear in mind I only have 4 years pc experience and two years on and off at trying to copy the masters work.
These are my later works

If I can do these with no experience then somebody with a bit of knowledge should be able to knock something up quite decent, I enjoy doing them as I like art but they are quite time expensive the most basic one on my post was four hours :( but like I say I enjoy it

Id love to have one of my "Bazzle" done also. They are so incredible!
Great work on them, Is it possible to put Bazzle in it instead of my screen name, when I signed up I stuck with a name from other forums, I had no idea I was actually going to become an owner, I was hoping, but didnt realize how much fun these cars are

Not only are these cool, but Craig even made a few changes I requested and very, very quickly as well. He really is a class act.

Thanks again Craig!

I've been checking the Cartoon Mini's out but can't get the right one. It would be really neat to get one of a Pure Red (w/white roof) Countryman that has Mickey ears? That would be awsome!

Thanks

New MINI cartoon?

Hi Craig! I just bought a new MINI - you made a fantastic cartoon for my old one and I was hoping to get a new one to match this:
Hot Chocolate MINI Cooper S Convertible with brown top, brown seats with white piping. Everything else is stock (I loaded a couple of pics to my gallery). Blue eyes to match mine?!

Thanks in advance! You rock!
