Hey Roger, its mick here (with the recently painted black 4dr 32)

Did you get your Work VS rims and the guards flaired?

[Anyone Got Some Good Pics For Desktop Backgrounds?]

thanks mate you gave me a good idea.

betcha that took a while to trace, sounds time consuming..

but nice overall effect, i love it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

About 11-12 hours

and yea the tracing took a lot of time, ya gotta take a number of breaks in throughout not only cos your eyes start playin tricks but the pen tends to leave a good imprint in your fingers <_<

<<has too much spare time :lol:

[Anyone Got Some Good Pics For Desktop Backgrounds?]

wow mick, that looks nice

how did u make the first two wallpapers?

did u vectorise it? add colours?

i know my photoshop stuff, but i want to learn your technique

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hey how is ya, I do all my stuff with adobe photo shop - with the car pics i got a photo and added a layer and then traced it with a pen and tablet (they cost around $130) then with the colours and back ground keep adding more layers. Keep the out line as the top layer.

eg. For Kezza's car

layer1: Background

layer2: The figure in the background

layer3: Colour of the car

layer4: Wheels

layer5: Stickers

Layer6: windows

layer7: The shine and reflections on the car

layer8: The outlines of the car

Hope this gives ya a better idea

With the straight lines you can use the airbrush click once where you want the line to begin and then hold the shift key and click where you want the line to end or go.

so hard..

Once you start getting the hang of it (a fair bit of trial and error is involved) it becomes easier.

You have to keep at it too, you cant just spend 5 minutes choppin a pic and then say 'ahh that looks like crap' and then scrap it, it does take time

*Snatches pic ^^^ :lol:

[Colour + Wheel Changes To A Car]

eug, you're a nerd.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

These are some basic skills, nothin to do with nerds

[What Do All The Tools Do In Photoshop?]

The "Clone Stamp" is a very handy tool for editing photo's, especially if you want to remove something from the picture. Basically if you want to hide something in the picture, you use the clone stamp to copy another part of the picture into that spot, this makes it look a lot more realistic that using the airbrush or paintbrush to edit photos

[Who Ordered The R33 Gtr Ute?]

Well slap on a "Real Gaijin Drive Utes" sticker, a few more Asahi stickers, a CB antenna or three and off you go roo-shooting R32 style

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

:lol: ROFL :lol: Hell ya, hi-tech hillbillies hehehe

[Can Someone Change The Color Of My Stag?]

I had a few goes, i just cant get it to go black for some reason

I lowered it and put a bit of negative camber on the wheels

[Colour + Wheel Changes To A Car]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

[Colour + Wheel Changes To A Car]

[Colour + Wheel Changes To A Car]

[Colour + Wheel Changes To A Car]

I found a black r32 with that body kit, and i just pasted the wheels on

[Colour + Wheel Changes To A Car]

nice lookin car ill see what i can do

[My R32 Gts-t Art.]

You think black is hard? try white!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I still think black is the hardest to change, this is a pretty quick and easy job, i tried to get like a blue pearl with the orange, you can just see it. I like Kezza's one better tho

[Colour + Wheel Changes To A Car]

Can you find a pic of those rims with a bit more angle or a pic of the 32 with a bit less angle? cos they are gonna look a bit botched other wise. Nice 32 by the way, who's is it?

[What Ever Happened To The Skyline Hatch?]

[My R32 Gts-t Art.]

Damn dude, thats nice, i swear i cannot get the colours that crisp when i do a colour change, very nice

[Who Ordered The R33 Gtr Ute?]

33 looks neat, the 34 looks like it shoulda alway been a ute but as for the 32 it doesnt really look any different at all..just looks like someones taken the bootlid off it's boxy ole ass 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

ROLF! yeah the 32 is the odd one out, saw one in a drift vid and thought it looked pretty neat
