I know its a bit of a stretch but I found this much more interesting for me to make than yet another cube crate. :P

oh and this in no way reflects my viewpoint on whales, its something I remember seeing on a box back from when I skated and went to this one skatepark near here.

to clarify.. this is a skateboard "box" as in a built obstacle to skate on... 'tis much fun.

It's nice, i like it. "Nuke the whales"-logo is cool

. The black spot on top looks overwhelming, maybe make that a little brighter?

yeah I know what you mean by being kinda overwhelming.. but if you've ever seen some of these.. think about all of what a skateboard rolls over especially on a wet day then all that smacking down on some fresh plywood.

But as you suggested I'll probably adjust it a bit. Thanks

Oooh, now i see. It's a box for skaters where they canactualy skate on (with grind bar). I thought it was just a box with fancy stickers...

<- Stupid

In that case, i would make the metal edge brighter, since that will be polished by all the skating...

The black spot actually doesn't look too bad (people just need to understand it's context when judging). I agree with doylle on the metal. Get some horizontal gray lines on there with small variations in angle and then follow through with an *almost* white specular only for those lines. Will look great (of course you can ignore that and just create the marks through a normal map). Good luck, look forward to the final

Looks good, maybe put some wax stains on the wood next to the metal, back when I used to skate, people rubbed candles down the metal box section and it got all cloudy brown on the wood, could be a nice touch. And like the comments above, horizontal scratches and blemeshes going down the metal would help it.

Forgot to add; Screws should be present also

.

hey thanks guys for the feedback.

yeah i also felt the angle iron needed a bit more too it. More signs of waxing and wearing.

and yeah pankake i'll see what i can do to make it look like they waxed a bit of the wood for some bluntslides or idk maybe rodney mullen came to do some primos :P
