Excellent job on the bristles! The cast shadow is a bit too black and opaque,you can't see enough ambient light of the dark side of the brush (although you can slightly see the white grout), but overall, this is really well done.

Ya, it is funky. The shadow was actually to help the tile look more authentic, as you pointed out. I need to rework the lighting. Also, I'm not happy with the grout being reflective... I should get rid of that as well.

Yeah great job. The details are fantastic, but I agree with the shadow, should fade slightly near the end.

The shadow is too black.But a good thinking

really nice thinking..

O.k., I lightened up the shadow. I agree it looks better. Thanks to all who suggested.

nice work

Wow, I didn't think this was that bad. Just goes to show...

It was not that bad Author
