this is my entry for a VW comp , tips and pointers please

i brushed the body and flame , and the rest is c&p





Thanks guys

The brushing is good, but looks a bit toony.
You've created a very cool atmosphere, I really like it. And old vw drifting, looks nice
the new front is good, but I think the intercooler is a bit too bright. and the grill looks a bit out of perspective (could just be me).
The new interior looks pretty good, looks like real. But the riding height is too low for a drifter. Also the wheels are a bit too small imo.
And about the flame: if you brushed it, very good work! I wouldn't know how to do it
Overall it's a very cool chop, but the body lets it a bit down (not really bad, just could be better).

pretty cool

the brushed body look way to saturated in comparison to everything else if that is toned down and everything matched with a colorfilter it would look better
next time also try to find high res parts these are not real bad but still to low res...

then try to take more time for selections he large size shows a lot of jagged lines
you could also set the feather setting to 0,2 witch gives a tad smoother line

here to show you exactly what i mean >>

this took 3 minutes to do >>

1. toned down the purple so it matches the bg (creates 3 times more realism)
2. overbrushed brown and set the blending mode to color dodge and lowered the opacity a tad
3. over brushed brown and set the blending mode to soft light and really lowered the opacity
4. gave it a bit darkness and a slight (tiny bit) contrast

so to show you 3 minutes of work can make a chop look soo different and more realistic

and just look how much better your work shows !!! now i can see you have eye for detail the ref of the flame into the bodywork now shows way better



so i changed absolutly nothing on your chop i just did a colorfilter and some darkness adjustment
i hope you can use this

most important is to remamber never to end up with way to saturated colors
always look at the background and match them to etch other

thanks you guys , youse are so smart

i will defo take in what you guys have said
