Your rip pattern is nice, what missing is the shadow effect, the placement of the shadow on the tears would have made it more realistic, take a look at airbrush.com or was is it .net some good how to articles.

You over shot the shadow or shade that you were intending to do to make the tear rip patten stick out, but overall a 6 for the first attempt, just remember when it comes to airbrushing, "less is more"

Keep it going you have a knack for it, more attempts will get it right.

It's more of a hobby for me then a profession, still in the learning curve, will try to find some more work I have done, and post them.

That was a friends jetski i did in 2 days, the clear coat and sanding gives the final depth The intended final look is front is check plate, torn and flying bits, the back part is a torn body into the fiberglass shell looking into out space. The proportionaility of the the planets sort of threw it off.

My friend was happy with it

great paint job, but i was somewhat of an artist before rc, so have some contructive crititism for you. your lines shoul be flowing and freeformed alittle more, make your blacks and silvers pop out more by airbrushing it darker in the middle and fadin it out dramatically. great color choice though and i really like the metallic like paints. great job for only your secong paint job! i'd give it a 7.5 for an enthusiats job, but a 5 as a pro job.

That looks sweet!!! Interesting choice of colors, is this a running billboard for Gillette Fusion products by any chance?
Seriously though, that's a great body. Good job!

I think it looks really good. 8 at least.
Lets face it after a race meet or two it will be hammered anyway. Enjoy it while it lasts.
