Homage to grandpa

Not sure why, but a lot of people seem to like this picture. The school assignment was to use Photoshop (I used The Gimp) to colorize a portion of a black and white photo, and then to superimpose another picture on top.
I chose an old man in a hat superimposed with a carnation for a couple of reasons: my grandfather had recently passed and there were carnations at the funeral. Being the first time that someone died that I actually cared about, I was moved to pay tribute in whatever way I could (the image is NOT of my actual grandfather).

I have a red 300M, but I drew a blue 300M based on a reference photo that I found.
This was done in Adobe Illustrator, but nothing that couldn’t be done in Inkscape.
Total time was about 40 hours.
Click on the image to see full size. I didn’t quite finish but still got an “A” on the project (my classmates had some downright AWFUL pieces – the assignment was to use Illustrator to draw a car).
- windshield wipers not drawn
- windshield itself needs additional rendering
- passenger side view mirror missing
- probably much more I can’t think of right now

I used a lot of Gradient Mesh, which I hope to see in Inkscape very soon. This was a fun project and took about 26 hours.
