The mapping of the flames is nice and well done! I would have put a lil more highlights where the fire is really hot. Like the bottom of the fire is always the brightest and then cools off. But when i first started painting flames i realized they tone down with the clear so i would have to make them look really bright at first and then when cleared they tone down just right.

Looks awesome!

That looks good!

I do agree with some of the other posts though. Needs some good wheels, and blackout the grill.

Oh and I think if you blacked out the grilles it would make a HUGE difference!...the silver i throwin it off from the rest of the dark an evil type feel.
Exactly what i was thinking. The chrome grille just looks out of place

Awesome work... I'm not crazy about flames or skulls, but that is just amazing! Although It would be more fitting on a 30-60's era car it still looks good.

I really like how the skulls have reflections, my only gripe however, is that I would have liked to see the skulls on the driver side of the hood facing the fender rather than having them all face the passenger fender.
