Pacer-X

Well have not seen one of these chopped so i thought id give it a whirl. I had ane opportunity to play with lighting and a few perspective challenges for me. Overall I am pleased with the outcome and hopefully my fellow Autemoians will be too. Comments and Critique always welcome. Thanks and Enjoy!

Great base car! Not many done in Photoshop for sure.

I like the styling too although it's gives a mixed vibe as it's got all those racing elements on it but then the wheel fitment is so crazy and basically wouldn't suit (high-speed) driving.

As an image it looks pretty good!
Yeh i really didn't think about that. just mixed elements i guess thanks for atleaest commenting on my retired stanced race car.

Damn right there's anyone else. I've been looking at this for a couple days now. Something's bothering me and I think I figured it out. I think it's mostly the wheels and background that really warp things. There isnt a snowball's chance in hell that rear wheel would actually fit and still be attached to some sort of suspension :p.

I do really like all the flavor things and the brushing up front is really good. That same brushing however falls apart along the side. The paint lacks depth, the ridges along the side arent quite shaded/highlighted properly. Add the bit dubious graphics and the quality is a bit of a mismatch.

Last point of substantial criticism would be the perspective issue with the background. The car looks really stretched on this background and that is further exaggerated by the seats, which are out of proportion. They're fairly small. Make it seem like the car is abnormally long/warped.

Stylewise I'm not sure bosu-zoku style would go over very well in 'Murrica but you probably know better than I do :p. I think all the elements outside the ones I mentioned above are thought out pretty well and fit within the concept. It does take a bit of bollock to chop a Pacer, but the end result unfortunately still isnt very exciting. Nonetheless good practice and it shows you've not quite completed the perspective challenge you set for yourself.

Thanks Bart this was a bit of a challenge. Also mixed styles are killing me i think. I need to keep things simple. Thanks for your well thought out critique.
