It's getting harder and harder to tell if it's a photo or a render. It wasn't easy to begin with.

Wait.... which one is the photo?

Solo, time to quit playing around and retire...write that instruction book! If you need an investor I'm in Think of all the kids (adults too) you can influence with your instructions "drawing cartoons with sketchup". Its a winner!

If so the only criticism I could offer is that the green supply valves in the far left corner would get whats known as cross talk, they should be staggered Exceptional visual though

@bryan k said: It may be "just a little TV shelf" but I like the technique. Tutorials? Now you've done it! (I'm still learning, but the more experienced here will direct you to some of the best there is) Thanks Bryan K This is the link to the tutorial I used if you were interested. http://www.sketchupartists.org/tutorials/sketchup-and-photoshop/soft-colored-pencil-line-technique/ I changed mine up here and there but I still think it done ok.

I like!

@cyberdactyl said: Absolutely brilliant presentations on your page. Does nobody read any more? I didn't paint this! "No Deviant Art. The 'lander' is my Sketchup Model (http://m.cmcdn.net/12784173/940x537.jpeg) and Radojavor took it and made a digital paint composite."

How about you start trying to model it then start asking questions in either the SketchUp or Newbie forums when you get stuck. You might be surprised at your skill and at what you can quickly learn.

Pete, Nice, I just saw one of these today. [image: GcIW_IMG_1718Large.jpg]

I'm blown away, Taff, your work never fails to be inspiring
