I agree, the smaller wheel looks more in the feel with the design

The bumper looks good, however it blends a little too much into the road

I agree with ya. I feel it needs to be lighter. And maybe blurrier. Not a perfect reflection.

I still like the purple, but if you want to go for the black, the middle one looks the best

I also like the purple. But the person Im doing it for, Wanted black. The customer is always right haha. Not really. But she asked for a background too. So i think i went a lil crazy tonight. Still got alot to do.
I thought I was finished :headshake

The black looks better I think, I like the simple but good looking reflections!

Love it in black with the moon's and fat white walls!!!

Take your time with that background work, it could really enhance your stunning truck design.

Thanx Drift n blip. im jumping through hoops to get back in the game. Now she wants red. I really liked the way the black was turning out.

Ok so we're not doing red. Well not right now anyway. Here's where im at. As i go over it with a fine tooth comb. I realize the point of light is way off. I have several different angles the light source is coming from. But I dont think the customer even has a clue. So im not gonna worry about it. Most edges are smoothed. Anybody see anything that needs attention?

Update: I see lower window trim and maybe wipers.

The fine tuning is looking very nice, and I hope you're racking up some "change fees" for all the hoops this client has you jumpin' through.

Agree with the light source thoughts, the background looks like a sunset to me so I would expect more of a backlight effect on the body. However that lighting effect could dull out detailing on the driver's side of the body.

Thats my exact thought. dont wanna diminish the detailing. May try some red/yellow/orange highlighting on the edges. like i did onthe tailgate. gonna try to redo the wheels to fit with the dusk theme.
