where is the bristles ???? and your SBS is not too enough to understand how u made it....... Goood luck

The bristles are a little too flat, so that the individual strands are not discernible - it just looks like a solid black mass. Perhaps you could have a bit more ambient light to show the strands, or some small highlights...

OK MossyB, I have made adjustments to the VRay material for the bristles themselves. Changes were made to the diffuse color.Reflection and refraction color was altered along with the subdivisions count, I.O.R. levels and glossiness amount.6tann see the updated SBS. Thanks for the input, I know I can definitely see the bristles better now my self.

Wow, that's a Purdy brush - I don't use anything but them! Nice wood texture on the handle, and the metal work.

Good work!
