3	Mixed media piece © 2009 Gary David Bouton This is also in my Modeling gallery. Yes, I used Poser and cinema 4D to make the pixels, but the entire layout and a little retouching was done in Xara Xtreme Pro 4. - 1 voter (5.00)
4	Tabletop jukebox © 2006 Gary David Bouton It took quite a lot of research to even find photos of a tabletop jukebox; finding a diner with some proved to be fruitless! The table reflections were created by mirroring the illustration and then using a live effect in Xara. - 6 voters (4.83)
5	Nikon Camera © 2008 Gary David Bouton I usually use a modeling app for photorealism, but this is just a personal piece, trying to see how much dimension I could squeeze out of a drawing. - 4 voters (4.25)
6	Aquavox © 2007 Gary David Bouton I began with a 3D model of what I'd envisioned as a 1960s portable radio, and actually have the render on my 3D Gallery. But the overall design "felt" like an illustration...so I illustrated it. - 4 voters (4.25)
7	Card reader - 2 voters (4.00)
8	Pencil and Ink Illustration © 1977, 2009 Gary David Bouton This is not strictly speaking an illustration created with Xara: it began as a scan of a drawing I did over 30 years ago, specifically a scan from a Polaroid; Mr. Konigsberg owns the original. This produced a scan that revealed aging and tons of dust, so I drew over it with Xara Xtreme. Hopefully, the restoration is invisible. - 2 voters (4.00)

13	Burger Layout © 1977, 2009 Gary David Bouton Xara Xtreme is great for illustration work. It's also terrific for page layout. In The Official Guide, I walk readers through several variations on one and two-page spreads and you can also download this as a *.xar file. coming in Late October 2009. - 2 voters (3.50)
14	A Color Palette © 2009 Gary David Bouton This is the result of some playing around with highlights and shading in XXP v4. - 2 voters (3.50)
15	Tech Support - 1 voter (3.00)
16	A recently discovered DaVinci manuscript page © 2009 Gary David Bouton I used several of the standard Live Effects to "age" the drawing. Leo was such a fun-loving kinda guy :) - 1 voter (3.00)

18	Plop Art © 2009 Gary David Bouton This is just a different treatment of metallic objects than a gradient fill :) - 1 voter (3.00)
19	The Look of Plastic © 1998 Gary David Bouton I feel this is my best attempt at faking photorealism to date, probably due to the simplicity of the objects. Very '60s, I thought. - 1 voter (3.00)
