Thanks for you interest and the favorite!
I really appreciate that. I never knew there is a thin layer of water over them, it must be fun to drive over, isn't it?
The Us Among Stars is a fine illustration of my career, its more like a composition. The metallic look is achieved using gradients, that is the colours are changed from one place to another, also there are shadows, highlights, shines and transparency (windscreen and glasses etc) to make it look like real.
