Thanks for the help

It looks neat, but i dont like the blobby wheels.

Wheels, again, but the rest looks cool. Could you do a Skyline?

Another great one. I'm not a big fan of Mustangs but when it comes to art.....now that's different.....NICE!!!

Thanks!

Now for the wheels--what would you want changed?
Can I have some more details, this is why
I'm posting here. Want to make my toons better.

Change the spoke size/shape?
Or is it the over-all shape of the rim and tire--I know they're not true ellipses.

Dont change the wheels , thier AWESOME .Nice work . just work on your reflections a little .Other than that its SWEET !

Looks good. Deepen the reflections, and crank up the contrast on the chrome, it'll give the toon more depth.

Actually, Danny's right. they DO look good. i meant theoverall shape, but don't change em.

Ah--chrome, that's my biggest challenge.
Any tips or special tricks to make it shine?

I start with a white base and put layers on top ot it.
Usually at 50% op or less.

That looks great. Nice combo of rims and car.

A tip on rendering chrome: pay attention to what it's reflecting. (ground, sky etc) I usually make the parts reflecting the ground alot darker than the parts reflecting sky.

Thanks for the info.
I usually do a design without much background or foreground design work.
Saw some examples where blue and orange were used for sky and earth reflections.
I'll try that on my next toon.
