I love your trucks Theo, I am collecting them. How do you manage to make so many straight lines and shapes in PS? I really cannot take making more than two lines in a row with that program.

Well, this is again cool design, like all the other vehicles. Since you forced me to examin, looks like the front bumper is off in terms of 3d from one side to the other. I wish there was light hitting that bar you got on the back of it, seems out of place compared to the rest. Color or tone variation would be nice. And all these things are right out of the factory, perhaps some scars and bloodstains and dents and compound fractures might give them some mo character. Cool shit poopcracker.

heh Tayete, im glad you like em, nice to know Ive got a collector:) Next project is definately airborne though, or maybe even spaceborne if there is such a thing.

Meph, the bar is a bit flat, true that, and I hear ya about the textures, thats what everyone keeps tellin me, so, there might be a point to it I guess:) Ill try.

:chug: theo,

2 minor things. I think that the vertical axis is a bit tilted, and that give the impression it is falling to one side.

Second, for some reason, the casework on the back reads like some stairs and not a framework. I can see what it is, but when I just glance at the image I see stairs... I think you can solve it by tweaking the values..

the design is very unique. looks like a fun toy to play with. imho you could improve the design byu adding a fold in the fender instead of having it jut downward, or take out the fender altogether. and, maybe im just reaqding it wrong, but the light source seems inconsistent. my eyes think that in order to have that highlight on the fender, the shadowy side of the vehicle above the fender should be highlighted instead.
i like all the grooves and bevels in the front- makes it look like it docks onto a larger vehicle when not in use or somethin.

OrangeCat: np, I love making those cute little progress slips, their fun to look at weither its my painting or not.

R_M. I respect your thoughts and I fear you might be right on the tilting factor. The rear ive rebuilt several times, kinda looks like stairs no matter how I put it, I'd love a slight paintover though, some valuepushin'..

brad, Im glad you like the design, the fender actually had a fold in an older version, t'was cool, but this is esier on the eye, less scrungy angles. I hear ya on the highlights, ill fix that, funny I didnt notice.

thanks guys. keep talkin.
