Throwing this out there for scrutiny

just posting this up for critique im kinda kicking myself a bit on the yellow drop shadow idea (doesnt look so harsh to the naked eye). the guy i painted this for was very thrilled by it so the overall result isnt bad.

im pinned to the wall so start throwing those tomatoes... :)

Im not a big fan of the yellow, looks a little too drab to me.

For the white streaked tribal I would suggest a very subtle fade in your darker color around the top edge of your flame, this gives the streaks a softer look to them, Mel does this very very well.

I mentioned how dialed I thought the G was on tiltyard, I think you should do a tutorial on that effect, it is really cool.

The flow of the designs works perfectly with the contours of the body, only thing I can suggest is to "pull" the licks out further so that they end up narrower and sharper, but thats just my opinion.

Overall I think it will look dope on an RC8T

drop shadow in the yellow, not as harsh in real life.... can you even see it then? :)

hard to tell from the pics, but more pronounced bevels would be good and less of a contrast between the edge of the tribal and the center. think there are some bevel tuts. on the site here somewhere. lidz and mel are a couple good ones for those. :)

overall its a nice idea and a good color scheme.

its always nice when a customer returns for aanother one. im sure he will, so be ready for round with the things mentioned put into consideration.

keep it up bud

:)

Thanks for the feedback.

Mike: when i do the effect again i will shoot a tutorial of it i didnt post a closeup of the g because it has some errant cuts on it, i was thinking to use the scratches in a larger shading idea but abandoned the idea at the last moment. with that disclaimer here is the pic

cellphone cameras take such clear pictures (not)

Jon: For the pins i just did a simple effect where i cut it out, then striped it with gold and followed with black was going for a reflective type thing but not a full on bevel.

Thanks again for the comments they will be put to good use.
