Something Sinister by Jack Grouell

This car just looked evil - except it was pearl white. A little PSE 2 changed the whole effect...

(Reposted after making an adjustment to the wheel as suggested by claudio. Thanks c- I think it was a big improvement!)

Hi Jack,

The change on the wheel makes certainly for an improvement. You have created a very strong image here ! The yellow stripes provide for a convenient 'ground' and add a dynamic touch. And now for the nitpicking : I feel a bit uncomfortable with the 'happy' people in the vicinity though (not because they are happy, but because they conflict with the 'sinister' character you want to convey). Instead, an extension of the 'spickled' background is maybe more appropriate.

Yup, I prefer it with the new Wheels. Good job

Hi Jack,
You're proving to be quite a PP demon. Well done to transform the pearl white car into this retro demon. Thanks for helping to provide the variety I hoped would come out in this Challenge.
Cheers, John

Eh Eh, you are right about the look of the car. My only comment would be that the wheels, having mantained pretty much their original color and texture look rather odd.. but maybe that's exactly what you wanted to achieve.
