VW Bluesport

Been working on this on and off since about October, when the car was first announced. So there was only a handful of low-res media pics to work with so naturally, I did the only thing you could do, blow it up a bit and do an entire re-brush. Consequently, there's not too body mods, what has been done has been done subtle, and instead I focused on the re-brush and changing the lighting. Wheels weren't brushed, nor the background (bit on the low-res side sorry). But everything else was.

First piece I've done in yonks, but I think I ironed out most of the rust during its production. It's still a bit buggy though.
I had a really cool version with the blue channel hidden, so the whole thing had a heavy green tinge, but when PS saves jpegs it ignores the channels :(

Looks quite good mate! However there are quite alot of things that could be done better :-d

The design Looks good and fits the car quite well, Gives it a clean but still subtile touch, However i do think you perhaps could have added a bit more lights to it, Such as Turn signals integrated on the Sideview mirrors, and such. Just to give it that final touch of elegance ! ;)

The brushing could use some work though, imo from what i see the car looks quite toony, and the colour/lightning doesn't seem to fit the bg so well ( The same with the interior, it seems way too bright imo ).
So if you would've put it in perhaps a studio bg it might have fitted a bit better imo, Also made the side and such brighter ofcourse.

The rims looks good, and is well places doesnt seem so off, perhaps that the rear is a tad off, cant really tell.
But once again the actual highlights of the rims doesnt seem to fit the bg too well.
Lights seem a bit to well boring ;P they could've used a LED strip in them perhaps, also you could have given them more contrast to make the overall picture get more contrast.

Good quality + Good contrast + Effects = Better overall outcome, along with giving the chop an alot better feeling to it. Wich raises the chop overall and as said equals a better result.

But a good chop, Great ideas, Could just use some work on final execution and the quality of some parts ! :-d

Old Hondas never die, they just get faster!
The car is very toony and seems to hover.
However, great atmosphere and also good design.
You know you wanna click it!
