Not bad Jeff.
I like the Dodge Ram but the ground reflection is misaligned and too distorted.
The Blazer is ok, but the rims are a bit large and again the ground reflection is wrong.
Im not crazy about the dark filter or overlay you have on top of these, it dulls things too much.
The Elantra is too squeezed and those wheel openings look like they were cut with a hack saw.
The Godfather collage is cool, but I dont like the transparent nature of the images stacked like that, inparticular the way the fat guys arm shows through the middle of Brandos face.
You should have erased the overlapping parts and the Brando image should be stronger.
The logo doesnt look good transparent either.
Keep working bro, like you said you got skills, they just need fine tuned a bit.
Welcome to PSC.

Normally i would have totally ripped these to shreds. (anyone who entitles their thread "newwwwb with skills" deserves it!)

But there ok. Unrealistic but ok. You need to refine your eye abit and consentrate on "keeping it real"

After all realism is key here.

Maybe its a type O... and are'nt you abit harsh there Ace?

jeffschops · 08-03-2008, 03:12 AM

no i dont think he is being harsh at all. I need to see were my pics are flawed, the only way to get better is threw learning, and the best way to learn is from those more exsperienced......

Thanks, and any type of direction would be grealty appreciated......I have a few other I will post when I get to my lap top that are more realistic. I have always had had an issue with the shadows, any good advice?

.:ace:. · 08-03-2008, 06:13 AM

shadows. well concentrate on one light source and make sure there not too dark.

After that its just down to studying other cars and using your well trained eye.

i like the dodge,agree with davinci on the filter that makes it look dark,id just adj the brightness/darkness or curves of your layer.
also i like the headlights on the dodge but you have to stamp out those lens flare "orbs". that takes away any realism imo
peace from the noob with mediocre skills

lense flare kills any chop so leave that the hell alone!

IMO
