Thanks Jester.

Well if anything, I'll be happy to give you a tip or two on improving

First is the colors. According to Dylan's research, there was a total of 32 colors. Since this is more of an iEra skateboard feel, tone down the wood, yellow, and blue colors to about 3-5 each: the minimum must be 3 (darker color, normal color, lighter color). Since the lighting on the board is focused on the middle, you did a good job at coloring but your colors need to be more vivid. These colors feel entirely plain

The same applies to the back of the board aswell.

Second is detail.. It looks plain. I recommend maybe giving the wheel more of a plastic-like texture (I think that's how it's called) instead of leaving it one color. Also, give some sort of a wood texture to the back of the board

Just my suggestions. If you wish to avoid them, feel free to but you could find these suggestions of mine really useful if you're asking for critique

I like the new rep system. You can speak your mind without being afraid of people neg repping you.

Removed a lot of spam! Stay on topic please. :)

Thanks Yephenpeace.

Anywho, MSM. Try not to use a lot of colors that are almost the same exact color. The only part of the skateboard that looks shaded is the part that is down, where it gets slightly darker. You need to remember shading techniques, and what the texture of different things are.

I have a program which finds every color in the image and shows them side by side. Your skateboard has 33 colors exactly.

You shouldn't shade with the paintbrush tool...
