Nissan r35 GTR from NFS Prostreet

EA

 Coming from a true Nissan fan such as myself i would only use one word as to why i like this illustraion

"Flawless"

but let me be realistic, what I really like about this illustration is that it emphasizes the car even more than 

the car emphasizes itself, the drift scratches on the rear bumber, the tire smoke, the lighting, the points chosen to be in motion blur and focal points deliberately made crystal clear to see, like the lights and the Nissan badge so you know exactly what is being highlighted. The tire smoke and wheelspin is an insignia of the cars' capabilities and power. oh and thats me cheering in the background with both hands in the air.

Morrigan Aensland モリガン・アーンスランド  from Dark stalkers 

Artgerm community from deviantart

I like this one because i like Morrigan....ok but really this illustration shows what can be done with the pen tool...alot...with perfectly placed lines and curves, carefully precise added shades of purple, green and black. we can have an astounding realistic Morrigan Aensland, though not a real person looking at her eyes in the image for a second it sure does look real. The figure of her body shows very good depth, looking at the knee and the shades of purple around her thigh gives the look of spandex leggings or a leotard. lets all just ignore the clouds in the background as they are way too challenging to draw more realistic than Morrigan, so we will focus on the easier stuff to draw.
