Looks pretty nice, especially for a first skin  You need to work on the alignment of the lines though. Where the side meets the top of the nose, and on the sidepods I can see it is not lined up. Also, it looks like the graphic on the nose is off centre and not symmetrical (could be the angle, though). Nice work for a first skin, keep it up. |

Looks pretty good, it's not easy to make those flowing lines match up.
Are you using Bunta's skin kits?

very solid for a first skin. I would go with the pro templates by Bunta, though. It makes skinning ten times easier.

I work with Paint Shop Pro 8, and use vectors for all my lines. I'm assuming this is how most do it, and it's really a case of tedious jiggling and poking, pulling and eeking ever so slightly with points and angles of contours, checking on the CMX viewer in close up on the section you're trying to line up to get everything as you want it.
Some models have areas that just don't paint well at certain angles, and pixels get stretched much more than you'd like, and worse still, they then change to a different view of the car for continuation, and as bad luck would have it, the skin uses more than enough pixels for this part to be represented, making it 10 times harder to get anything close to a perfect match.
Trial and error, a good deal of patience, and plenty of time will help you get the results you want. Move on to try an new one as soon as you've persevered with the line matching, as I think the more you knock out, the better they get. When I look at all my first skins, I blush, and wouldn't dare display them. I think you have a good start, that more time invested can clean up immeasurably.

Other than the issues which have been pointed out to you already, I'd add that when I see the Greddy logo I think turbochargers, although I know they do make other stuff too. The problem with that is that the Fox is not turbocharged.
Overall though it's not at all bad, the colours are nicely complimentary.
Just one more thing to add, and that is that this thread really ought to be in the "W.I.P" section.
