Good texturizing...the shiny wood grip seems incongruous with the funky metal, though.

Happy Texture Work!!! It almost looks like dusty chocolate.. woo HOO!!!

Nicely done but I agree with CMYK about the handle being too shiny.
I like the scratched text effect in the wood. Well done.

Good texture work.

they say that when an image touches you on an emotive level that you have created art. I really hate this upload and the message KILL.... especially with all the killings going on in the news. It makes me hate guns....however, it is for this very reason, the reason being that I have been affected by the message that makes this a really strong image, full of impact. As far as the photoshopping goes, it looks good but can you see how that shiny handle is incongruous to the whole ?
