Great concept! The John Deere camo is perfect. Man... I can imagine a whole set of vehicle replacements, Futuristic Duely Pickups, Flying, Riding Lawnmowers

I remember seeing this in the What are you working on thread. I think the vivid colors and contrasty lighting are working really well. I think my one complaint is that it doesn't have any large scale lighting on it. I know that will most likely be provided by the engine, but I think it would add to the visual quality of the texture.

Looking good reguardless man.

Oh yeah, shouldn't the wheels have a little dirt or mud on them?

Ninja: lol yes, the nukelawnmover would be something spectacular question is if cuts grass or somethin else?

Poop, when you say large scale lighting do you mean light from a specific light source? like i paint in the shadows that would fall from the exhausts?

About the wheels, yea they probably should have some mud on em Im not 100% pleased/finished with the texture yet, there are a few details i wanna go in and tighten up, but that will have to wait since im getting really swamped in schoo atm.
