Pixey, thanks you, glad you liked them. blackpenny , Thank you Leif, thanks, OK I won't Goonfella, actually two wheels and the 3rd is spare TheBad1, I am sorry mate they are the last three of each set, you know what, put 2 for front and other two for rear , thanks mate. barbieq25, Thank you lol clean up problem, don't tell me, have to clean them every week. Helen, thanks, those are mens style, I will try to design some for girls. AFG, thanks so much, Just designed half arm of the wheel, Kaleidoscope, then the old/long way of bevel then Trail. @heat stroke, thank you very much. @lanceii, thank you mate, non of those, just Pyro's Trail, wow, do they look hard to make? venicet, thank you very much, I am still using the manual reflection method, duplicate, flip vertically and may be some Oblique, then transparent gradient. Thank you everyone for you nice comments, this place is still great by its great members. Based on this tutorial In this I combined xara3D with PDN, I think the colors are overdone: Fonts rendered in xara, but the texture of their faces is PDN

Great stuff especially the passiflora plant, always thought they looked like a plant from another planet.

I just LOVE the text Bling I've often wondered how it was done, as I'm a fan of Nik Ainley's work and first saw it ...... (I was going to link here ... but can't get the hyper link thingy to work )

I think the colors are great! I personally like the darker background, but that may just be me.

Very cool! I like both versions and can't pick a favourite.

I'm with blackpenny. I can't pick a favorite either. At the thumbnail level I thought for sure the darker one, but once at full size they are both awesome. I'll have to check out the other program eventually. The 3D font is gorgeous.

I like the darker background. Just really lovely works! Each element compliments so nicely. Well done!

Sweetness! I tried to make a text collage once, link, using just SketchUp and Kerkythea. I like the colored background the best as it gives the text more "pop." And to answer your question, yes, almost everything you make seem impossible for me to make. That's why I depend on a 3D program to help me out.

Sargon, I just figured out what you meant by manually for the reflection. OMG! I love that. so easy and so much more control over the whole thing. I"m off to do a few so that it cements in my mind how that works! Duplicate, flip, oblique and transparent gradient. Brilliant! So glad I came back and reread these comments. I learn something every time I think! Thanks so much.

Excellent mate, textures, colours, composition all very polished, my only critique is the fact unless I new it was Sargon I would think it read Saroon, but the artwork is fantastic

I love both of them. Both are beautiful. Nice work Saroon ;D ... and thanks for pointing me towards Xara (but don't tell the wife ) I'm enjoying learning to use it

minners71, Thank you, I am glad you liked it Pixey, thanks you, I do like the 3D text with this style as well, using a 3D program to render the text will make the work faster and better, I saw that xara 3D maker is very easy to learn with good result, it has a free try for 7 days. @heat stroke, thank you, I like the dark one too, but I made another version after shifting "G" a little bit to the left, as AFG pointed that out. Helen, thank you, xara products a great, especially for 3D effects with light/shadow, on top of that the simplicity in them. blackpenny, thanks you, venicet, thank you, I am sure you will like the program, it is so simple and direct. I am glad that you understood the reflection with that simple explanation, it is a little hard to apply that on more complex 3D shapes, but it works every time with some extra efforts barbieq25, thanks you so much. @lanceii, thank you, I never seen that before, it is so cool, I like the reflection in the glass orbs, I wonder why didn't you add some shadow? You mean impossible to make with PDN? May be I can use PDN in a different way than you, but you also use other programs in different ways I could never use them like you. AFG, thank you very much, and thank you for pointing that out, good I still have the PDN file, but the text was flattened, I restored each letter on its own file from the Recycle Bin and shifted the "G" it looks much better now? With some changes to the background. TheBad1, thank you, I think you don't need any help to learn it, it is easy. This is the new version after correcting the letter G, with its full size in JPG type, so quality is not good, hope you will like it:

It's beautiful. The tiny glowing specks are beautiful. LOVE the floral designs! It's breathtakingly magical. Wow.

I like this background too. Much easier to read the G now. Still lovely to see

Looks great Sargon. The background is a work of art all by itself.

Gollie - the first time round was great but this one is extra super

You know what, Sargon, I think I'll take up on your challenge and make a 3D tyopgraphy.

Wonderful piece of 3D typography Sargon. Lovely vibrant colours and textures. Nice one.

Adding the light rays has really added to it. Beautiful

@ Helen, barbie, venicet, Pixey, Blackpenny, Goonfella and WelshBlue, thank you very much everyone, for the nice words and comments. The plants patterns are fonts, downloaded from Dafont.com and fontspace.com @ Lance, great, I am waiting to see what will come up with. The Typography wasn't 100 % PDN, But this image "Underwater" is, Hope you will like it, I am sure it needs some improvement, Your very helpful feedback are welcomed:
