Im guessing its something like my avatar, squished end to end a bit, then you paint over it in PS

like light bright...turn on the magical shining light...lol omg
It's actually all done in MS Paint From Scratch lol... ill post up some pics of the process... that'll show you why it takes a while to make new models.

But yeah, once I've got each model and color it's super quick to modify for each user.

Here's the Clean version of how I made a Porsche GT3RS... I just get a side shot and a front shot and start building pixel by pixel, then line them up to make sure it all matches. Then "paint" them different colors:

Thanks for the paypal bro, i appreciate it!! , but i dont want anyone to feel obligated to pay for avatars. i like seeing everyone's sn with a little picture of their car, which is why i started making these for everyone. but i really do appreciate what you gave me.

now i just want to be able to animate my avatar and ill be golden
