Artist's Note

a fatuous dream


To clearify the title: It's not about this special car, it's about sportcars in general. I chose the Aston Martin Vanquish because it looks nice and that's all. That's all what sportscars are to me: good looking. So don't start to argue about the quality (of the car) or the power... =)

The choice of motive was most likely influenced by the current wave of car walls, the style wasn't. Aston Martin Vanquish was suggested by Imrik.

A small animation showing the 16 hours assembling process of this piece can be found here:

This Wallpaper is available in 12 (twelve) different colorschemes.

Size is as usual 1600x1200

Hermik you beat me on my own game great job and i love the Aston Martin DB7 i wish i had as good of skills as you i hope you liked the cars i have posted. great job you always bring the best in me for compettion great job looking rich and creame. THANX for the feed back on my walls. and some thning that i notice on the wall that you got the front left wheel wiggling and also the right head light is placed wrong. just some thing i noticed in the dimentions of the car. but the rest look great. the new walls posted by me are at http://www.customize.org/details/24509 hope you like these there cute and a little smooth but detailed at the same time.

when i saw this I wasn't very interested on it, not because car walls, is not my thing, but it just didn't catch my attention as oyur other walls, but then: I zoomed in. All that smooth and subtle shadows that are almost invisible to the eye but that you can feel that are there, make this wall speacil some how. The one thing I don't like: sport cares are supossed to be fast or at least "dangerous" you know, to live on the edge, well, I think that's what sport cars are all about. You catched all that on the train wall, but not on this one....

I'm with shocks in that it could use some detail. Its smooth, but maybe a little too smooth and calm.

i personally don't like this. the car doesn't look porportionate. the wheel well and tire look one piece and not seperate. must be the angle. and i'm sorry to say, but i'm growing tired of the same backdrops your using. i love your stuff, but its starting to get repetative. maybe its because your releasing them too fast. if i was to rate this, i think i'd i'd give it like a 60. but, i'm not going to rate it. sorry hermik, just not liking this one at all.

hermik says:

believe me, there's nothing wrong with the perspective! really! About the dangerousness Anetalaya you're right. @sport865: these are no renders, not even vector... so it doesn't make a difference if you resize or crop or if I do =)

Your style truly unique.

All of your work has incredible movement and depth.

I wish I could have a 1152x864 rendering of the train wall "faster than your car".

Well done. zeph865@bellsouth.net
