Chop Comp 77

[illusionest]

....congratz to....Blitz_.... for the 3rd time in a row! :rolleyes:

rockefella tied Mr. Jinx for second, so....
both of u choose a pic and we can choose between a or b :)

[Mr. Jinx]

I think second place should go ro Rokefella because he voted for me. So really, if you discount his vote for me, I'm third.

This is probably fairer.

Also, well done to Blitz_! He was clearly the deserving winner, because that chop was stunning!

[Rockefella]

Go ahead and choose Mr. Jinx, I don't have a worthy picture right now, seeing as I'm a bit drunk.

[Mr. Jinx]

haha!
Well, im not quite sure what to pick...

I've gone with the Cadillac CTS-V.....hope its ok with everyone..

[whiteballz]

the exact picture has been used before, but it might be interesting to see how peoples styles have changed since then. im ok with goin with this pic. anyone else got objections?

[Blitz_]

hello everyone. Thankyou to all of those who have both entered and voted, still, it would be great to see more people enter *cough* illu *cough*, but saying that it is good to see the competition at a healthy and productive level. lol three in a row now, i'll try and go for a fourth but i would give it all up for a massive amount of entrants this week. Good luck to you all

btw Mr. Jinx, the picture you have chosen has been done before, but i guess we could do it all again...

EDIT: seeing as Illu is now the head manager of the competitions, would it be ok to use my old entry? but this time just, erm ehnanced..

and lets stick with the done-in-the-week thing,
u can copy ur old design though :p

[Blitz_]

hehehe copy aye....;) mmmhmm, well lets just say they will look remarkably similar, but different..

[semicon]

Aaahh... mine's done! Not vrey much body work, some window darkness, rims and new front, most time wasted on the background its from a screenshot from "nfs most wanted" :P

[Revolution]

Looks good!

[whiteballz]

alright
this week you will be seeing something very weird from me, i am using my spankers wacom graphics tablet, you will see the design will be "interesting"

[illusionest]

[Mr. Jinx]

haha, nice job anyways...i like the rear light, rather "cool"

[Blitz_]

never to early! we can edit our entried once submitted.

[whiteballz]

wacom 3 illu. 8 x 6 inch active area
11 x 10 full size.

[Mr. Jinx]

never to early! we can edit our entried once submitted.

in that case, i shall post a progress pic! :p

[whiteballz]

Here is my "progress pic"

[Revolution]

Wow, those are both very good!
The coupe conversion looks good, Mr. Jinx, except you need to work on the perspective of the wheelarches that have presumably come from a Merc CLK DTM.
And whitballz, that looks awesome, especially the hatchback thingy.
Anyhow, here's mine so far...

[Mr. Jinx]

yeah, my front wheel arch is all out of whack....and good guessing, it is from a CLK DTM! ;)
I quite like the decal on yours....and thats a sweet, sweet background! makes the whole picture look much better!
I'm still on the hunt for a good background...and it isnt proving to be an easy find lol. Anybody got some that i could possibly use? Credits will be given of course :p

[Blitz_]

Lol they call me Mr. Backgrounds, jkz! add me, [email protected]

i have an extensive range of backgrounds, so far ive collected 32 backgrounds for this picture, pretty easy to do ;)

Thanks, I took that pic up at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. Have you been there?

[Mr. Jinx]

haha! splendid, you have been added lol

Thanks, I took that pic up at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. Have you been there?
yeah, i've been there....sweet place!! I used to live in Queensland up until late 2004, then moved to the hole that is known as Victoria lol. I used to reside in a town called Toowoomba, bout 120 000ppl, nice place, 120k from Brissy.

[Revolution]

Oh! Lucky. Wish I lived in Queensland, I love it up there. We went up for a holiday in July this year, that's when I took that pic.
Anyway, back on topic and I've made a handful of very small changes to it, namely I've beefed up the wheelarches a little, added a little V8 badge to the front guard, cleaned up the light on the bonnet a tiny bit, andmade the decal on it sharper.

[Blitz_]

what i have so far, basically a coupe edition that has that extra punch of that old school american muscle with the ridiculously large bonnet bulge and to come, oversized arches and bout 21' rims. Re-doing the front bumper, new side skirt, then probably a jap ricer version with full side anime vinyl.

[G_13191]

another one already started....


well, u ppl are crazy.

i mean goo good.

i could never do this much in so little time.

Hats of to all of ya.


I'll try to do something again. i dont actully plan to win, i just want to do something, and being in a comp pushes me....

[semicon]

i wish i could chop like you guys, ur all doing so good :)


btw, heres what i made before the one i posted (this is not the one for the voting)

[painterr]

Sorry about asking some stupid questions but it has been so long since I entered one of this comps but how big can the final pic be and when is the last day you can enter one? I was putting the final touches on mine and my ps crashed and I lost everything. I am trying to start all over again.

[whiteballz]

i think there are another 5 or so days. im not too sure what timeframe illu runs on. it can be as big as you want, but submitting an 800 x 600 will make it an inline image for the voting poll.

[illusionest]

last day for chops = november 27th, Loonnong time

[Smithy]

wip....nothing set in stone...a lot left to go...

[Mr. Jinx]

me wishes i could brush parts.... :(

[painterr]

Well I done as much as I can. I just dont have anymore time to work on it! It isnt my best work I have ever done!! Be easy on me guys!!

[Rockefella]

Awesome Painterr, only problem is the fire imo. :)

[Mr. Jinx]

wow, awesome job painterr!!! was that inspired by that STS SAE 1000 car? nice attention to detail as well.

Heres my car.... Comments/suggestions always welcome::D

[G_13191]

Hey Jinx... ur's looking good. I love the way u guys color these.... have to still learn that.


Any way, mine is almost done, ....

what do u say

[Mr. Jinx]

Nice work G13191! Big improvement over your Diablo!
I especially like the decals on the car. But the image has been darkened for some reason. If you want, e-mail your cars .psd file to [email protected] and i'll see what I can do with it.

[Smithy]

lol...i try not to post WIP's to keep my entry a secret, but this week is kinda nutty so i want to get a lot of input...

[G_13191]

Thanx Jinx,

and the image is dark only because i did it so. The car was not done, and i thought of hiding it a little.


Any way, i think im finished with my car, so do let me know how is it.


And urs is much sweeter with out the shades.... i think.

[G_13191]

forgot,


reduced size...

[Blitz_]

nice work every1, good to see alot of entries flowing in. Here is my almost done verysion, im satisfied with what is done so far. Hope you all like it as well. :D

[Blitz_]

hmm ok quick update, changed the shape of the window so it's more, well old school Ford Capri like.

[G_13191]

i had been waiting for ppl to submit there chops.....

Blitz, your's kinda different. Cant tell if its a caddie or what...

lovely.
And the new window shape IS nice

[Smithy]

k, here's my entry (unless i decide to change it of course ;))

[Mr. Jinx]

Wow, G_13191, thats a big improvement over your Diablo! Nice work! Keep em coming.
And I also see everyone else has killer entries too. Hope I can compete with them :o
Final entry:

[G_13191]

thnx jinx...

the final chop of urs is great. the reflections on the grill are gone, better...
but only if u could do something about the headlights, it looks like computer chop, not real. maybe add a bit shading where the bonnet cuts the lights...





and u have changed ur avtar pic... not bad either.

[Mr. Jinx]

I took your advice ;) . I did add a more pronounced line in, but it still looks funny :p

[r1ckst4]

Hey, mind if join in? :p

I cant remember the last time i enter a photo comp here.... it's been so long!

so 800x600 is required resolution right?

I didn't do much to the body kit of the car as i spent most of the time creating the hatch back...

any comments are welcomed :)

[painterr]

Mr. Jinks I took you chop and put a wild paint job on it. Would you mind if I post it to show you how it turned out.

[G_13191]

r1ckst4, not bad, that's lovely..... a bit funny, but very nice.
everyhthing is so nicely done, the color strips, sweet.
And also those awsome huge tyres...


great.

jinx, did u post it with the line or no...

[r1ckst4]

thanks man.. :) i really want to do something to the front of the car but i just cant be bothered anymore... lol that's one of the reasons why i dont chop that often. I just dont have the patience :p

[G_13191]

that is something im used to....i know how u feel after the chop is done....

someone has to say something, or else the heart feels bad. right.....

[r1ckst4]

haha... the heart wont feel bad.. but it's always nice if someone comments on the chop...

[G_13191]

"Rejection is better than regret. It's better to try and know you did your part, than to spend the rest of your days wishing you had tried"


that is so very true.....

goes well with the chops too, even if ppl dont like it, at the end of the day you know u have atleast tried.
