Photoshop play. Hope you enjoy. I've been experimenting with the layering of styles, blending them together. The "jewels" in this are 3 layers - each with slightly different styles - blended together with various layer blending modes. The final image reminded me of some of the jewel-handled knifes produced in the middle east.

If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside.

I love it! I think these odd shapes gave you some great curve and light patterns. I also like the natural colors of the metal and red.

Nathan, very nice piece of design. I like the very intricate design on the grillwork, and the subtle shading in the bg.

Superb work. Creative and skillfully done.

I especially admire your facility with gradients, something I really struggle with in Photoshop. Thanks for sharing.
