Newb Chop

I know it's not the greatest but I think that the paint job is pretty decent. The airbrushing isn't good at all but I am still learning and was messing around.

misterphotoshop · 05-08-2004, 05:33 PM

hmm its ok for a noob.. cf is truly terrible but i cant help u on it sorry.. i personally dont think cf looks good on muscle cars since ive never seen it in real life

if you ever ever ever put a carbon fiber hood on a 440 cuda again i will personally seek you down and rip your nuts OFF

the chops ok just the cf is horrible read my tutorial

make the CF pattern smaller, and use the twirl tool.

Excellent job so far for being new to the scene. Jeez ... im still trying myself ... I do more administrative work than the amount of chops id like to; but its pretty friggin good. You may wish to check out the CF tut on the site. It is in the master list here: TUTORIALS SECTION.

CF doesnt twirl! and your slections are shitty and your vent shadow isnt a smooth transition at all

hey dude lightin up he's only a noob, hey i agree wit everyone else the cf is pretty bad, but its not exactly either if your only jsut starting, i know i cant do it yet, try an easier car, you can really,a dn prolly shouldnt mess with a cuda cuz they already look cool and you cant really put any good mods on it without brushin, but nice try anyway keep practicing its worth it!

brasher · 05-09-2004, 07:13 AM

with the side vent the gradient should be a smooth transition from light to dark, rather than a staggered gradient that you did. Also add some highlights for were the light would hit,

dosstheboss · 05-09-2004, 11:00 PM

Yeah the airbrushing was just messing around and I messed around too much and couldn't delete what I did cause my history didn't hold that many items. Is there any way to not get that outline look if you use the gradient tool? Is this a little better? I realize that there is an outlined look but I don't know how to fix that yet.

you dont use the gradient tool when you make vents, and it looks like its got a neon bar goin around it

MRWILDE · 05-10-2004, 01:00 AM

the new decal looks like you are using the outer glow tool.

either that or stroke

DLT · 05-10-2004, 05:59 AM

the decals look like they are in the air

but nice chop

mhendricks · 05-10-2004, 09:33 AM

Pretty good for a noob, 'cept for the cf pattern. And the second one, you should remove the neon glow...if you haven't already.

dosstheboss · 05-10-2004, 08:41 PM

Yeah thanks for the criticism. I took the stroke off and now it looks alittle better. Any help on how to get rid of the outlined look. Is that a good decal for being hand drawn?
