Sorry for the delay with the poll. I just got back from a track event all weekend. Anyway, you guys know the deal:

4pts to #_______
3pts to #_______
2pts to #_______
1pts to #_______


I'm not sure when to end the voting, so as of right now, I'll just say that the first entry to 30 pts wins.

4pts - #3 looks tits, great work. wheels look 100% genuine

3pts - #6 very nice, very much my style. good work

2pts - #10 simply brilliant. very tasteful mod. weight reduction right? just needs a shadow under the anvil and it'd be perfect

1pt - #8 love the lights, they look great. paint is slightly over-saturated. wheels could use moe gloss/shine. tyres look good. could use more effort around the indicator and leather was a good idea but is too sharp. top effort though


this was a great comp. some awesome entries. wish i had time to enter this one. lets hurry up and vote so we can get the next one going. i have some more spare time now :D

doing quick math (and its probably off so someone else add) so far points are:

32pts - #10
21pts - #8
19pts - #4
16pts - #3
13pts - #6
7pts - #11

I'm just sad I didn't have more time for my chop (#3), I had a half hour between classes and did it then lol

3 pts #10 (Would whoever this is mind pm'ing me how the hell you did that..very curious)

looks to me like they have taken a photo of a piece of scrunched up paper and edited it in

totally didn't think of that, but that's probably it. Just set the paper to multiply or soft light i would imagine and you would get that crumple.

4 to #10
3 to #6
2 to #3
1 to #2

wow. 1st to 30 seems pretty low, but that's cool. congratulations whoever you are..

thank you, i will take my bows now, i was #10.

the crumpled panels are a combination of pieces taken from car crash images and the crumpled aluminum foil technique.

so which ones belong to which people?

cool, any suggestions?

youve lost a lot of contrast, look at how the shadows are getting pretty close in darkness to the rest of the car. as well you can see the gaps like between the doors have brightened up too much. it makes the car look metallic.

gotcha!;) thanks

you still need to reflect the other colors, for example if it's reflecting a brick wall, it won't reflect it in the same shade of blue, it would be slightly reddish blue kinda...

color changes require some playing around with layers and some low opacity feathered erasers, I think for the blue you mostly just need to lower saturation, and maybe increase contrast of the body layer below to get the shadows to pop, and maybe up the saturation on that layer a bit. I do color changes a little differently depending on the car.

I suck at this game :(
