very cool ideas , nice skills ..
but the chop feels a kind of unfinished , like it needs more blending
also work on hue colors so everything matches hue wise
colored filters can be great to achieve a uniform hue look

This is looking good!

If we start with the Brushing it looks ok, However it is very toony and there are some big colour differences where it really shouldn't be needed too. As for example Just on the sideunder the hood. (the part above the Front Arch) i dont really think it should have been that much Orange.

The kit design is pretty good, Makes it look Aggressive and also Racey, However the sideskirt seems to be alot too dark. Now if we go back to the colour differences you can see a good example on the frontbumper aswell. If you look att the middle you will see too big Shade Differences

DarkOrange | LightOrange ; Now the transaction of these two should imo would be a bit smoother, But as the Hood is kinda Edgy, as you see in the middle i suppose that is what you have been trying to recreate on the frontbumper. To make this look better and less toony i would probably take the smudge tool and just smudge from side to side very lightly so it "flows" together abit better.
The Black parts you have brushed lacks some lightning, and the black lip should have been a bit more lighter i believe so should the canards be imo. If you watch your Arches you should probably have brushed the Front lip/Canards the same way.

Now if we move on the refs... I dont see any and this is a big problem if you want to create something that is realistic, Refs are really hard to get on correct!. But even though you still should try to add small ones to perhaps the window and the side.. Wich this chop lacks, wich is pretty sad.
The wheels Gives the car and aggressive look However the Front wheel looks weird for some reason, cant put my finger on it.
This might sound harsh, but i am giving Constructive Critic and this is what is needed to improve :-d
But overall it is a Pretty Decent job! I just think you should have spent some more time on it.
Now remember what is said and pass it on to your next chop. Good work! Keep it up.

Old Hondas never die, they just get faster!
I cant match the comments above but i agree with it all. Designwise i love your chop. Aggressive!!! :D Keep it up.

I really like it in some way :)
the brushing looks very cool, but it's toony. But some parts could use some more work.
and imo the shapes of the astra are a bit too much changed. The design is very good, but the shapes are a bit too much changed.
the new color is very hot, and it matches very good with the dark parts.
But the windows are a bit too dark. They have no refs at all and you can't look through them.
Those wheels look awesome. I never thought that such rims would ever fit a car of that style xD the white goes very well with the colors of the car too. but the front one looks a bit out of proportion.
The background change is good, but doesn't match the style of the chop. Not designwise, but the background looks too real for the car. You could have tried to filter/brush the bg or look for another.
But it's a very cool chop, i really like the styling

I think Nibs pretty much said it all for me so i'll just add that you got good ideas so keep practicing and you'll get better very quick. Good luck with future chops.
