well now that we can see the picture you are off to a good start.

if you don't have them yet there are some publications that you should look into for some inspiration and some guidance. Signcraft magazine is a must have as well as a copy of the book Mastering Layout. You can find both at Pacific Coast Paint/Sign Supply in Portland...as well as one shot in spraycans what more could a budding signman want.

where in oregon are you?

Looks OK to me!
You could really make that chrome look come to life with a few white highlights.
Love.....Jill

almost all the graffixxx cliche's in one sign... just missing barbed wire and some diamond plate!

What have you got without the maltese cross and the tribal widget??

I was thinking the same thing on the C & D lettering, make a couple 4 point star shapes, drop shadow them, drop the feathering down to a 3 or 4, break the drop shadow apart, delete the vector and you will have some sparkly in your chrome lettering :p.

Great start btw!
