Posing for a victory picture, these two men just broke the world`s land speed record in their jet powered vehicle. In case you don`t know, the Bonneville Salt Flats is a densely packed salt pan in Tooele County in northwestern Utah, USA. It is totally flat and smooth for miles. Most of the land speed world records are done here. (5 years and 796 days ago)
Nice idea. A cool scene. I like those vapor trail brushes. I just downloaded them
Very cool vehicle. I would have added a tail fin, but that's just my preference. It looks like there's a bit of red stuff to clean up under the rear of the fuselage.
TY CM. Originally it had a tail fin, but I removed it because it made the vehicle look way too much like a plane. As per your suggestion I re-added the tail, and in my opinion it does make it look less like a "land vehicle" and more like a plane. Thoughts? https://i.imgur.com/AbJdpgv.jpg
I saw that yucky stuff under the tail you pointed out, and took care of it. Surprised that got passed me, so TY for your eagle eye. If anyone wants to know a trick for finding stray stuff that should have been masked or cut out, just use a temporary "Stroke" and it will reveal the bad stuff.
As I said, it's your preference. I thought a long low fin would look cool. Lots of the land speed record cars had fins. https://www.google.com/search?q=world+speed+record+cars&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwikhNrvw_3WAhUB5IMKHY56Ag4Q_AUICigB&biw=1724&bih=924
PS: I like the goofy guy in the back seat.
Thanks again for your help. I tried quite a few tails. Tall ones. Short ones. Long ones etc and really thought it made it look too much like a plane. Here is what I think was the best one with a tail. https://image.ibb.co/gLdvwR/rebuilding_car.jpg
I did however raise the wheels (or lower the body) and I like it a bit better.
Definitely an improvement. (I do like the one with the tail, though).
Congrats again BWR
Thanks MM.
Congrats BW!
Mahalo sister Z.
Congratulations BWR. I like the one you did with the tail fin better though.
Haha. Such a hard decision sometimes when making these Chops. Probably should have listened to CMYK46.
You won anyway so it would have made no difference except you might have got an even higher score than you did. 60% always looks so much better than 59.9.
Howdie stranger!
