The Photoshop/Art Showcase thread

I didn't have a ton of time to spend on 'details' like I normally would for a paying customer, ;) but I thought I'd do this up for ya...

Hope this helps!

thank you denny and ynot. that helps alot.

You're most certainly welcome!

The best part about 'splashes' is that you can just free-flow when you're taping them up and as long as you keep them looking 'splashy' you don't have to worry about 'accuracy' since they are random...unless of course you really want both sides of the car to match exactly. If that's the case, I'd suggest using a stencil of some kind to get you in the ball park.

When my buddy painted the splashes on my toyota, we repainted the entire truck so it took us a little while. I think we prepped/sprayed for about 12 hours straight or better but as I said, we re-painted 'everything'. And that was just the 'paint prep'...I had many hours of bodywork weeks prior before we even started the paintwork.

Since that toyota shown above, I've since learned to paint myself and designed/painted/pinstriped my previous ride which was this 2001 Ford Focus ZX3...

This one I painted all on my own with a little help from my father. Painting is a lot of fun, but it's too much work to do it all of the time. I'm just glad I've learned so I can paint my own stuff when I need to. It saves me a ton of cash having the knowledge and equipment to do it myself. Plus, my main reason for learning to paint was to offer a bit more knowledge in 'designing' the paintjobs with my automotive side biz.

Hope that helps ya!

you did a really great job on the ford. you have alot of imagination. I do not want both sides to be indentical because i think that it defeats the purpose of the splashed look. Will take me a few weeks to get everything like i like it and i will send pics then. Thanks for the help.

^ This is awesome! Do you reckon you could create a drawing like this of the Cortina paint scheme I posted earlier? If you've got the time of course. That would be awesome.

Maybe with these wheels though? Nice and low like the Monte too.

Thanks, would be much appreciated.

Thanks...glad you liked it. Let me see if I can find some time to work it in. Besides working a full-time job, I do this auto-related art on the side...so spare time is pretty slim for me.

I'll see if I can get to it this weekend maybe...I've got a couple other jobs to work on first.

Here is sumthing we do before and after

this is something we did from a car at the Detroit Autorama

Denny,

there is so much to be done

check this out

we did this for a customers bike

or this was cool aas well

Hey Denny
As I'm sitting here I found two trucks in reds I like. I was wondering if you had the inkling to put my mag wheels on these trucks to see how they look. I'm occilating on what color to go with. Thanks, Steve. A front wheel shot is fine.

Thanks. I use to have software on my old computer that let me add one photo onto another fairly easily, but I can't seem to find it on my new pc.:mad:

Ha Ha ha...:LOL:
Very bright! Esp the orange!
Tyhanks once again Denny. It really helps seeing a rendering before comitting to something!

Denny

DO you use Fluid Mask along with the Photoshop ???

Denny
What are some of the programs you do use?

Denny, I used to use a microsoft program that came stock in windows 98, now my lap top has xp and my desktop has Vista. Can't figure out in either of these how to do what used to be so easy. It litterally was a graphics program that let you put multiple pictures together. I've also tried some shareware but nothing seems to do it. (I guess when you stop working with pc's everyday for work, the new technology out dates you fast!):eek:

:D Now that is cool. I'll print that out and hang it in the shop!:cool:

anybody care to photoshop the car sitting about 4-6 inches higher in ride height for me? :D
