update:

i have been trying to do new things . and i came up with this ,upside down IC

what do you think

better if you put the grill up the top and the IC down the bottom (switch em). but you would need a better quality IC, and maybe a mesh grill would suite the race look more than that bar grill.
But it is a lot better than the previous grill.

Side is alright but you've put too many lines and glossy shines on it now.ould look better if it was more simple. also roof reflection layout needs some work, look at the original and base yours on that.

could be a nice chop, but there is quite a few things to work on. Hope it works out

i have now totally changed the front and i like it much better

and about the lines its the only way i know to make my brushing looks better

wont mind any tips to make my brushing better

i agree with MP flip' em

apart of what MP said i think those white lines is making the car more toony.. if you wanna keep them just Blur them.. or you can removed them FTW..

other than that you cant put REFS along with white lines in the same spot.. !!

i mean if the Building (REFS) were Blocking the daylight from touching the car then where the hell those white lines come from ??

here is the wip without the white lines(remember current bg a temp)



better?or worse?

Ok. If you give permission I'll do a quick brush using the side you have done just to show you the differences of what you did and what I would do. (remembering that I'm not saying my way is the correct way, just how I would think it be better)
But need permission to to touch your chop first

EDIT: The Wip you just posted is starting to look better.

i would be honored

Here how I would do it.
Maybe you would add your gravel reflection on the side as well (don't know your BG).


there's still some "white lines" but there different to how you did it. and I just did it all in a smoother with more gradual gradients.
Thats just How I would do it based on what you have done so far.

PS: I like the one sparkle on the rear arch on your newer WIP.
PS2: Dont think I'm mocking your brushing. I see a lot of potential in your brushing, there's a solid understanding of reflections and colour hues/saturation. Just needs more practice and you could be great .

absolutely love your result

i well try to do the same

just a Q:what did you do in the red area in the middle to make realistic?

All I did was smooth out the gradients (making them more gradual, and added a little more saturation to some of the red)
When you do the brushing don't copy it directly, just use as a visual reference. I would let you copy for practice sake, but seeing its for a comp you better not .

damn I starting to like that side better than my own chop .
