Vanu Overlay WIP (Posting Progress)

[Eight8Eight]

So first I designed the Basic Shapes using angles and some curves

Created basic glow lines will most likely have to change those made cuts and started adding textures to metal plating for base overlay

So I added an overall glow and show where the text should go, and added bottom borders I hope this is turning out VS

Continued on the next post due to not being able to post more than 4 images

Finally got all the plate textures down although probably be adjusting the gradients. photoshop crashed twice for some reason. Here is the file without the glow effects

Worked on some more textures and the glow lines, there are a few things I don't like with this but it's still in progress so still working

More Lights More effects and a few more textures showing the text again for people to see how it should look

Why would you need to install CS6?

Constructive feedback,

The overlay looks more fabulous than it looks high-tech. Personally would not use this overlay bc of that. The VS icons that are close to the center are reminiscent of flowers. Some vanu may like this but my personal taste is more along the lines of hi-tech badassery.
