I burned out a little on a larger project, so im just looking for something small/fun. I was really into them when I was younger, so why not. The truck is about 70% done. Maybe 1 or 2 more crushed cars, and/or a ground surface. My "base" car isnt all that great, but I think it looks fine when I destroy it. |

The crushed cars look fin, I think the truck needs a bit more detail and the inside of the tires seem like they have less tread than the outside. Nice work so far thoguh
-------------  got game?

Yea, the monster truck could use some more details... I think some decals would work, like flames painted on the side

Thanks for the replys. I went back and rebuilt the body for more of an actual truck shape. I agree decals would be nice. Most likely stripes or checkers though. Im not sure flames will work.
I also reworked the tread, though im not sure it's better, thats seems to be the hardest part. |

wow that bonnet is so much better, and i like teh orange flames,
perhaps checkers on teh roof. i think you have used a too dark, dark colour, perhaps one in the middle of teh two colours. |

| Much better, but you need to fix the window also, it is plain box right now, make it more round and add a light reflection on it. |

Rounded the windows just a bit and added a roll cage to the chassis.
I made it so you can see the roll cage through the window, but it's a bit busy. Too busy for any nice refections. Im not sure if I should leave it as is or just go with a tinted window look. I still need to attach the axles. |

| You didn't round the window, you just rounded one line of the body, round the glass also, give it a reflection. And the bottom part of window should be more rounded. |

Yeah I removed a couple pixels from the top corners of the windshield (and side window).
edit - nevermind. I updated the windows. I believe thats what you meant (see image). |

The update is in my first post.
I finished the frame/added an engine/axles etc. I also added a light refection on both windows. I went with a natural looking gradient as it works better with the transparency. I do like standard reflection "lines", but they seem to get lost in all the detail. |

| Awesome but something seems odd with the tires. Maybe you need some highlights for them? |

I take it you mean on the front edge of the tire. I went back to edit it and realized I made the tread too wide. So not only was the tire not round, the highlight was also covered up by the tread.
I updated it. I think it looks much better. |
