    "A" for effort man! I couldn't do it, and it gives me the idea of what it'll look like with the light/dark combo.

  3. No need to apologize...as I re-read my comment I think I was more gruff than I intended. No doubt others will offer their insights, but here are mine: Usually images are sized after they're downloaded from the camera. I usually resize my pictures to 1024 x 768 for use here on the HAMB (good balance between file size and screen size). There are lots of image manipulation programs, most even free, that you can use to resize them. Some - like Paint, which comes with all Windows systems - are what you can do to do one-at-a-time jobs. Others are set up to do a-bunch-at-a-time in case you have a whole flock of images to do. I have seven image mangler programs on my laptop, because each one has different ease-of-use (Paint, Picasa) or features that don't exist in the others. For your image, once it's reduced in size too much, you can't really go the other way because too much "digital information" has been lost. Good luck, but it's easy to get addicted to it!

    The more important question is: Are the colors what you wanted (except for the white scallops on the dark blue version)?

    I like those but looking for a baby blue or powder blue I guess. The one looks nearly purple but I can go off of that. Thanks.

    The full '55 parking lights look good on there too, if I wasn't trying to keep the current paint job, I'd probably go that direction. I still like it with the current parking light setup though. Gets me excited to see it in place.

    Hmmm, it's good to see what seemed like a good idea brought to life, and realize it wasn't so good! Beautiful job on the chop, the top has EXACTLY the same proportions I have, but seeing the colors broken that way, I realize that doesn't work. I think the two tone color break should be an the top of the side spear, and the colors should be closer, less charcoal on the bottom. Discuss…

    When utilizing two colors, designers strive for a 70/30 split.
     
  14. I was worried I'd taken the bottom color too dark. Thanks for the chop comments...pure luck, to be honest!

    This is the image I started with if someone else wants to take a whack at it.

    I'm taking a break and prepping for some job interviews! Cross your fingers...

    You do realize that Chevy and GMC made a Cab-Over-Engine (COE) in those years, right?

    It would be much simpler (in real life & Photoshop!) to start with a COE and slice and dice from there. Here's one of many I found on the Internet.

    Not my work, but saw this on the net, and saved it! Not really HAMB friendly, but the logo on the side is!

    That's a thread killer, right there.

    I thought it had a bit of GM Futureliner look to it... Ugly, but stylish!

    Quite frankly, that looks a hell of a lot better than a standard COE made into a pickup. The proportions are pretty close to the mark. Me likee.:D

    Here's one I did for a thread on another board. I did a lot of work on it so I figured I'd drop it in here. I tried to deuglify it.

    Nah, Rolls Royce Merlin engine mounted in the bed. :D

    Even if you could find a place for a real engine, it would take a contortionist just to get in the cab. Maybe have to put the driver in place, then weld up the cab around him!

    Thanks, Eli.
    This was the first time I did a photo chop to someone else's sketch.
    My designs are usually from the "less-is-more school." :D

    Wait... you started with the green one, right? :D
