Well, Due to the recent upsurge in the photoshop section of UCP.com I thought i'd bring back as a trial for atleast a few weeks the chop comps.

Rules are that you must use the supplied image, and that the winner by vote will choose the next weeks picture. I'll also put out there that No Nudity would be a good one to have too. Please submit the one entry at 800x600px and one fullsize entry for quality viewing.

I'm sure there are heaps of rules i could implement, but for the sake of trying to get alot of people to enter, for now, this is it.

the supplied photo this week is the base subaru Impreza - As I figure its a decent photo, and has alot of potential.

Remember, Its all about enjoyment, If you dont win, try again, you never know who the people will vote for ;)

Thank you whiteballz for reinstating this. I always loved seeing people's different takes on the same picture. Hopefully, this will get a lot of entrants and draw back some choppers to UCP again.

Cheers mate!

Whiteballz, you the man! Thanks for bringing back the chop-comps, way overdue :)

And I'm definitely in.

OK, got something to post for now. It's likely to change (maybe) later on, but for now this is my entry.

I found this car particularly difficult to chop, but it sure as heck is fun! :D

And here it is:
Removed, will be placed in a new thread later

Guys (and girls if they exist within this dominion, looking at you Suzq), enter please! The more the merrier, no matter if you're just starting out or whether you're the chop world's version of da Vinci. It's about having fun is all.

Subaru definately got the bodykit right on the STI, very nice fitment on it.

Though the contrast is a tad high..

Smithy

mmm thanks. I kind of like the contrast though. Even then, not much I can do about it now. I only saved it as jpg...

I must say though, I like the body style of the previous wrx better... :(

Maybe just one more version:

Yep, it's in another thread too

Suzq, please, please, pleeeaaaase join in!

It'll mean a lot to all of us if you can. If your schedule permits it, please chop along. A raincheck will even suffice.



...Feel free to jump in with the begging guys, Suzq needs some persuadin' :D


EDIT:
OK, final change (this time definitely final). Only changed the format of the file from jpeg to png, plus some other bits not relating to the car.

Other thread.

Thanks Smithy :)

I liked the version with the RS4-style wheels.

The "final" version looks good too, although the shadowing in the wheels make it look too dark. I think it looks fake that way.

The rest of the body treatment is awesome though.

Either way, great chops guys!

No problem!

The final version looks the best, out of all of them.

Thanks NSX :) Don't be surprised if there's another final, final, final, final version popping up again though as I can't seem to stop chopping this particular car.

At the rate I'm going it seems I'll only end up at a final version #25 :D

Hey lith8872, welcome to the comps buddy, thanks for entering :)


I think Suzq's chop is OK to be entered. It is based on the same pic (I think), so should be cool.

Maybe we should look into having something like categories for the next comp, for instance a person can choose their own pic, but it must be chopped to resemble a race-car or drift-special or whatever. Any thoughts?

that has gotta be the first chop i've done in easilly two years...hopefully i get some of my skills back lol
