Nice !! I wouldn't even know where to start !!

Nice Work!!

Not to derail the thread, but thought i would post this picture. I went to a Good guys show in Norwalk Ohio, and I remember this guy taking my picture as I drove by. A few months later, I found the picture below that someone had painted and was trying to sell. Sorry for posting it here Beachcat, but seeing your artwork somehow reminded me of this picture.

 

Here a link; I have no idea who the artist is, but would be cool to find out.

Gorgeous work    

There seems to be a common theme   but I can't put my finger on it                  

 

 

 

p.s.  you don't need the boobs

How much time is there involved in doing something like that?? Would make an awesome screen saver, or even blown up into a poster !!

 That depends a lot on the images that are sampled. Can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours to do it properly.

We all need boobs  

I use Paintshop Pro. Very similar to photoshop, but takes less time to load up, lol.

These programmes are HUGE, and we generally only scratch the surface of their capabilities.

I use layers, which means you can easily cut out an image, like the Prowler above, then place it on top of another layer, like a background.

The tricky part is integrating it into the new background, with reflections and shadows, so it doesn't look out of place.

Both programs come with a pile of standard "effects" which you can easily add on, some work well, some don't, but it's all about experimentation.

It's a great tool for trying on new wheels, or changing your car colour without costing a fortune in paint.

Nice work Beachcat, and yes, we all need boobs.

Sure wish I could do stuff like that!
Very nice pics.

Real nice, haven't the slightest clue about how it is done, but impressive stuff!

Awesome work. Great job!

Looks great Roger !! I wish I knew how to use Photoshop. Imagined the crap I could really stir in here !! LOL
