    Wow that looks really bad! The perspective is way off. The body of a Violin is smaller at the top. Just google it.

    And oh whoopee…………another Icon tutorial. Glad I’m not paying for this.

    Well, the rendering is nice, but the perspective is a little strange…the top of the violin is bigger than the bottom; Why did you invert the proportions ? The reflexion is also a bit strange, but keep on, we can all improve our work :-)

    This is not an icon. Icons have no background and tend to fill a square area as much as possible.
    This violin has an awkward perspective that is probably incorrect and surely off for icons of any kind.

    Please don’t call this an icon, it’s misleading.

    I thought your violin was very sleek and nice looking. Hey flamers, this guy took his time out to teach us something which took time. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
