I like this one so much I use it as my avatar. It is a Russian artist's work. It could still help provide some inspiration for you.

This is really neat! I was planning to run my image through photoshop when I was done to add some shadows but I hadn’t thought to add color. Now my wheels are turning. Thanks.

IMO, need to ditch the fog lamps next to the winch. They take away from it and look odd in the drawing.

Hi Rob. I like that recommendation. I removed the license plate for the same reason, which is why I had those fog lights crammed into a tight place on my Cruiser in the first place. I actually laughed when you said “in the drawing”, but I don’t like them on the real Cruiser, either. They were free replacements for the lights on my fenders as those have a flaw in the circuit boards, but these were way too big for the fenders.

While we are on the topic of proportions, I have been thinking of making the tires a touch skinnier in the drawing. Thoughts? I made them based on the size of Ian’s tires, and it looks good but something about the drawing doesn’t look to be factory spec to me.

Maybe take the outer lug width off so the tires are under the fender. Personally I like the wide tire look, grew up in the 70's-80's. Nothing like big marshmellows sticking under there. I like the old double wide Mt's 18.50's. They are hard on steering components.
