Description
This idea started with the factory red Scion xD. As the sporty stock shell/skin comes off and rises away from the car, it reveals a black xD with a snake skin paint job on a body kit inspired by the Desert Horned Viper Snakes with its distinctive horn behind its eyes.I also integrated some carbon fiber parts with the snake skin paint job to create different textures but at the same time, still complimenting each other.
The body kit is my own design and 100% air brushed. This whole piece was done solely with Photoshop CS.
Here is the base car I used. [link]

well if you think about it, everything starts from the front to the back right? in that case it definitely is peeling off

the car itself is already on the right side, so flying off to the left is to balance out the image
well either way, they won the competition =O
changing it wont make any difference hah

well, i suppose. but obviously the artist themself didn't think that was a problem
guess they were satisfied with the finished product ne?

I think its a bit harsh to say "what the artist thinks of his own work really doesn't mean a thing as it is biased". In my personal opinion, there is a definite value of what the artist's perspective is in regards to their artwork. I use it to gain understanding on things that doesn't makes sense to me and use it as an opportunity to learn.
And let me explain and clarify why I have the pieces flying off to the left instead of to the right. Since the car is static, the pieces can technically be flying off at any direction and it won't be wrong. But in this situation, it made a lot of sense to have it flying to left for composition's sake. I didn't feel that it needed any motion blur to indicate the direction of it as I thought it was clear what was happening from what the whole premise of the contest.
If had the car positioned to the left (static or in motion), then it would make sense for the pieces to fly off to the right as you have suggested.
I do appreciate your post and your critique.
