Considering this is your second and third ever chops, I think it's pretty impressive.

If you don't mind me doing a Simon Cowell on your work:

1) The Nissan's front wheel seems to have too much positive camber, while the rear seems to have too much
2) Some of the edges around the Nissan appears a bit hard
3) The wheels on the Twingo fit really well, but the edges around them also seem a bit hard


Other than that I think it looks good.

If I may offer some advice as well: The best tip I ever received about chopping was to start off with as high resolution a pic as possible, something like 2000x1500 and up. Once you're done modifying it, scale it to the size you want, like 1024x768 for example. Didn't understand why until I did it.


Lastly, we have a chop comp running here, would be great if you'd join up

Hey Kooper

Cheers for the tips and advice. The images themselves are actually large but the uploads must have downsized them...If i can find more time and practice, ill be sure to join the comps


Cheers.

Did you use paint instead of photoshop? Please dont feel offended by this question I dont mean it in a bad or sarcastic way. It just seems like you have "paint" technology in your chops which is fine cuz thats how I started out! If you did use photoshop, dont feel bad either, you still did a great job considering its some of your first ones.

I like the Twingo. The wheels look good. Like Kooper said, considering it's your second and third chop, it's not bad at all. Another good tip is to keep things very tight. Such as the fenders. Notice the hard edge on the rear fender of the Twingo. If you pulled that in a little, even by painting it in, it would improve it much.

Keep it up and join the comps.
