COOPERation, Enjoy your time off from your full time job fulfilling our ceaseless demands.

We'll still be here next week asking for an infinite number of ever so slightly different versions of these!

I saw mine in your latest batch. COOPERation, you are awesome.

It's people like yourself with the immense talent that keeps the MINI community 1 step ahead of all others.

Your abilities are amazing. As has been stated before, I myself don't have an artistic bone in my body.

Now where is that information for sending donations. Gotta give something for being able to use one that looks like my MINI.

I suggest Cooperation go to Amazon and set up wish list! We could then, either ccollectively or by ourselves, reward him for his use of free time on us.

Wishlist! Wishlist! Wishlist!

I started with Misha's "Gromit" image for ths one, added the hood scoop (I have an S) and changed out the wheels for the ones I have, added a tiny black "flame" logo that's on the side of my car, and last swapped out the front bumper for one that looks more like the one I have on my 2006 Cooper S (recoloring the yellow one wasn't that hard). Plus I made the eyes gray/blue and blued up the mirror a touch, since mine are chrome... What do you think?



I have a version with lower foglights as well, for when I get around to adding them.

COOPERation, you are indeed a wonderfully talented person! Question: what size do you work in on the originals? because I have a request-- is there any chance I can get a larger version of this one made, please? Ideally, I'd love one about 400-600 pixels across, so I can make awallpaper for my PC out of it. These look FANTASTIC, man- I'm in awe of your vector skills. All I can do is some cut-and-paste work in Paint Shop Pro. No rush- I know you have better things to do than take requests...

Thanks!

as you know...they are vectors. He can thus resize to whatever you want and achieve the same resolution

That's what I was hoping you'd say. Hopefully COOPERation isn't too swamped... I admit that I'm lost when it comes to vectors- I understand 'em but I have no idea how to make 'em.

I REALLY like the deformation you have going on your image, Rally... You made that one, right? As fun as the cartoon eyes are, I like the regular windsheild even more (but I realize that beggars can't be choosers). Heh...

Craig,

Have a great time in Canada this weekend, Eh!! When you get back would love to see Magoo morphed into Tow Mater. Tow truck, tires hook, aero kit (coming soon), Magoo driving. It has a special meaning since my name is the same as the Disney character (well almost).

But most important, have a good time in the great North, Eh!!

You do really nice work. I saw your wallpaper image over on the other site you linked to (think it was a VW). If you find yourself wanting to do another Cooper, the hot orange Cabrios are VERY photogenic... (hint, hint).

The Dragonflyer has attutude that's for sure. I can't wait to take on the twisties this weekend with 30 other Minis. So far my local club has only seen it parked and not driving soI will be a surprise to them too.

I can manipulate photos like this all day but to draw these by hand I will have to leave it to the pro.

Great job on all these little cars Creig
