My submission for a Vehicle Design Contest (http://www.designertechniques.com/competition02.htm)

I've never really tried to shade metal but there was a good tuturial on the site which has given me some forwad momentum. I'm stuck with making the top most panel look right though.

I've been shading it in such a way that there is dark light shining down from the top elft onto the vehicle...so the dark areas are where that light reflects most directly to the viewer. THe underside is that reflected dark light from the ground.

Sorry to say but the effect isn't really coming off so well to me. When I think of shiny metalic surfaces I think of flowing, hard-edged variations in value. Maybe some ref-work as prep studies for this project?

The design is awesome though. I have no idea which way it's facing but it's awesome nonetheless :)
