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

here is a another take on your pickup

 

that is GREAT art work there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

hi guys

would like a photoshop of may car with dark blue candy bottom, silver flake roof.

thanks in advance

 

Ok, maybe a little over the top. I'm looking for something that captures the late 60s feel of the truck but I don't want to look at it in 5 years and say "what was I thinking" I love the colors and the pop...on someone else's truck. Love that candy green though.

 

Not very good, but I tried.

 

Hi guys
This is an amazing thread. I have enclosed some shots of my car as it stands. Looking for some color inspiration. Thought about burnt orange and coppers but would appreciate any suggestions.
Regards
Graham

 

Anyone with the skill and time , would you mind adding maybe a yenco stripe on the side in black? Your time would be much appreciated , thanks in advance,

 

Flames??

 

did this real fast for ya

 

i like the yenko !

 

Man you guys are good

 

Man that red version looks really good.

 

Thank you for the Yenco stripe.... now the hard part , should I paint it on??

I'll give it some time to set in and think it over. Thanks again , and as the poster above me the red flames look wicked!

 

I think the stripe fits that body really nice and with the stance your car has it looks like it was ment to be like that. The red P/U one did come out looking sweet, Glad ya like it. I can turn up the contrast with the flames on the green one would give it a sharper look also. I still like the red better LOL

 

What if the stripe went a little longer but instead of going up and tward the rear of the car ,it went up and forward matching the the upper rear 1/4 angle ? Think you could pull that off if you have any spare time. That might look good , or not.
Photoshop is good for making these decisions.
You're the best man ,thanks again.

 

Thanks MOguy any chance you could make the blue alot darker more this colour

thanks heaps man

 

New, improved, darker!!

 

Wow, BitterSweet, that looks really cool. Would like to see the high contrast treatment on the green. Early on I had someone ask me about putting flames on the truck and I glibly replied that painting flames on this truck was like putting a sticker on the stove that says Don't Touch HOT. Now that I see your version...

 

So about a year ago I asked JamesD to conjure up an image of what my '51 Chevy deluxe coupe would look like with a very specific set of modifications that I had in mind. He was kind enough to produce the finished image here.

But after following this thread ever since and seeing some of the suggestions made I realize what I should have said was "I love the first version of the Ernst Chevy and I'd like to build my '51 Coupe in the same style. What do you suggest?" I am even toying with the idea of a conti kit with extended quarters, since my 3 favorite kustoms (Ernst Chevy 1, Ernst Chevy 2.0, and the LaJolla Chevy) all have them.

Anyone want to improve upon my ideas? I can't chop it much lower because I am 6'3" tall, but everything else is negotiable at this point since the only metal surgery I've done to the body so far is replacing rusted panels. I'm also open to color suggestions but lean toward darks.

The key words here would be simple, clean, and elegant.

 

Allthough that older photoshop is nice, I would love to have a go at this one May take a couple of hours though.

 

This looks cool kinda a sinister look.

 

I hope it's not too blingy or modern
54 Caddy bumpers in both ends, and 56 Olds head- and tail-lights. Rear quarter trim is 50 Olds. Roof is conservatively chopped, with rear window layed a bit forward, and then hardtopped.

 

Here's a '51 Chevy with '49 Buick rear fenders and side spear.
The Ernst continental spare nestles down low.

The roof line is lowered, but not chopped. The rear window and sheet metal are angled forward about 6 degrees and the roof crown lowered to meet it. The door post was thinned a bit to lengthen the front window.
This should give you a sleeker look without losing too much height.

Thinking about going old timey gold paint with skinny tires and red wires on my C-Dan. Any of you artist want to take a shot at it?

 

chopped a wee bit and rear quarter panel from a caddy. Doner image was kinda small so image is a bit rough.

 

thanks mate thats exactly what i wanted.

 

Is there a group on the H.A.M.B. for photoshop artists? Tons of talent here, just looking to see if there is a group to exchange ideas and talk "shop"? I tried the group search engine and couldn't find anything.

 

Not that I've seen, we just kinda shoot the breeze on this thread from time to time. If there was a group that'd be cool, might even help me get past "hack" status.

 

Yes. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=80
