Damn Skwatoe, I just went thru all 13 pages at work - time well spent!

My car isn't ready for the DSLR yet but... maybe some day?

I might need your help with some rim selection... please let me know if you got some time...

x 1000 for the skills and YOUR time spent doing this for AZers!

Lol, no, not tired.....I just run across some that just stump me and I can't figure out what to do with them.

Not the case with the Apostle's chop; it's practically finishing itself, lol, I'm just watching. Should be done pretty soon.

It doesn't look too bad at 1680x1050.....but it does look "blown up." You can email the high rez pic to me if you want (skwatoe@hotmail.com). The chop won't be exactly the same as this one, but I could get it too look pretty close. LMK.

Hey man, i never even thought of doing these kind of chops to cars and now that I see what you have done, i've tried my hand at it and it turned out alright. a lil more going on then i wanted but i was just messing with the opacity, and blend types more than anything. I cant recall what I used to do to get that effect. I remember i had to go into RGB but i cant recall how i blended the colors to get the effect you do on some of yours. Nice work man, especially with working with some of those extremely low res pictures. Heres mine for the hell of it:



not my favorite, but its my first one like this.

Ok.....1000 apologies! I do still exist, lol!

I just had a major career change last week. I went from a job in dental research, with my own office , super fast computer, and a ton of downtime (or Chopping time, shhh), to a 50 - 60 hr/week quality control job with no access to photoshop, or the net for that matter, during the day.

It's been a rough week for me, no chops in over a week!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did however pick up a new laptop, until my crazy AlienWare comp gets here, so I can hopefully do some chops on the go.

Once I can work out some kind of schedule, I can get back in the game.

Stay tuned; I'm going to start using Illustrator ontop of Photoshop, so things are going to get interesting.

I'm still rearranging the hours of the day that I'm not working so I can get on my comp and get chopping.

Don't worry, this is not an excuse, just a minor bump in the road.

I will rectify the situation, pinky swear! :ghey:
