Art & Inspiration The Photoshop thread to end all Photoshop Threads!

I can understand that, it looks like a fun ride. I made that chop a bit extreme, but the high roof definitely screws with the proportions, especially with those bitchin' fins on the back

 

Didn´t want to force you to get involved in a chop, but I think one colour paint, blend the fender line into the door. The other thing is, how about taking a notch out of the back of the fins, so the back of the fender runs parallel to the bottom section of the trunk lid. Gives it some shape where I think its looking a little flat as it is. Extended the fender skirts too.

Hope you like!

 

your totally right that tail end is better ,looks sweet thanks and good job shutting the hood! its the littel thing! thanks

 

Tight man, thanks for that (as well as the other replys). I've wondered what the rear would look like without all the chrome....and yeah, the doors....I guess theres not much I can do about those

 

Well,ya pretty much nailed the colors...I sent the pic to him for the idea and he was ecstatic!He sends his thanks.Now if I could just get a decent side shot of my '63.

 

How about this one.Black with a deep purple metalflake roof and scallops.Dropped on Astros or Cragar SS's

 

Oh,and photoshop my cat out of there if you could

 

Bitchin car Thunderroad! God I love those Buicks. Are you plannin' on keepin her sans paint? I would, it looks tough! Nice build.

 

"Well,ya pretty much nailed the colors...I sent the pic to him for the idea and he was ecstatic!He sends his thanks.Now if I could just get a decent side shot of my '63."

That's great. I'm glad I could help!

"Oh,and photoshop my cat out of there if you could"

That's hilarious. Cats kill me.

 

She thinks it's her new couch.Already found damn paw prints down the hood.At least she has taste.Probably like rabbit meat if she keeps it up after I do the paint.

 

Thanks for Photoshoping. It didn't quite have the look I was expecting. I liked the grey version the best, but I already have the red paint so it is going to be red. The wheels are up in the air though. Leaning towards black powder coated 50's MOPAR 15" wires.

 

I've got a cat of the exact color of yours, except it's a short hair. Major pain in the ass sometimes but hey, what are you gonna do?

I wish it didn't have the overall look of it being a suede paint job, but I'm a newb at this and have a lot to learn.

Can anyone of you more experienced in this give me a clue on how to get a "shinier" paint job? I select with the paths/pen tool, desaturate, and the bucket fill with varying degrees of opacity and adjust a bit with brightness and contrast. I know it helps if the car you start out with is quite shiny and shows alot of reflections, etc. Thanks!

 

Try bumping the contrast at some point. Gets more highlights into it.

 

The best thing to do is search for images of cars and take a look at the gloss effects. You have to take in account of the surroundings of the vehicle. You car is parked halfway on the grass and pavement. The grass reflection would show up darker than the pavement. Also the reflected horizon will have dark and light areas. Grass will be dark, buildings are usually a little lighter and the sky blends into the color of car.

 

Thanks for the tips guys. I do appreciate it!

Bob, that's the next step I need to take, using the painting tools to add highlights and shadows. I also need to get a graphics tablet. Love your .gif's!

heres the rear end pics! you asked for! thanks again james d

 

How's about dropping the car a bit more and a very mild chop? And if someone wanted to play with color that would be cool too...Oh yeah, Caddy sombrero's if someone can pull it off!
Thanks, Jer

 

anybody want to give my dads essex a paint job, he's think washington blue, but is open to suggestions

thanks

 

Can you post the shinier one without the .gif effect?I'm diggin on it.I was kind of looking at this one for inspiration on scallop treatment,Badbob posted a pic of it in another thread:

 

......

 

.......

 

Makes me a little tingly.Thanks.

 

Just for shits and giggles,and to satisfy my curiosity,could someone take this one and give it that satin black or semi gloss black finish,give it a flake purple top,but keep the scallops and everything else as is?

 

i'm thinking about a new paint job for my essex roadster. maybe gold or candy green, i'm not sure so lets see what you can do.

 

Can someone do something with this? It has to have wide whites... I'm think black with black rims... help!

 

Can some one make my truck a flat burgandy and the grill, bumber and headlight bezel a silver and lose the chevy emblem on the front and sides, with some torque thrust wheels and white walls, please, thanks im thinking of going this route on the truck and want to see how it looks.

If some of you are looking to get into a graphics tablet on a budget, you might want to check on this unit at Buy.com.

DigiPro T-8000U 8x6" USB Graphics Tablet

$35.00, pressure sensitive stylus, free shipping. It's nothing fancy and claims to work with Win98 up to XP, but not Vista. Even comes with some free photo editing software that at least ought to be better than MS Paint.

Like you need to stay up all night learning to use another computer toy!

 

Well, here's a mild one and a wild one.

 

I going to make a street rod out of this old army truck. It was flooded and all of the mechanicals are shot. My thoughts are to slam it and chop the top.
