I know I already entered the Jetta in the competition, but I had to take a crack at the BMW too...





can you spot all the changes?

I'm curious as to how you did the color of the body. Did you just use the lasso to select the body of the car and then change the color balance of blue highlights?

phat ass monkey good job! props to ya

[spididdy]

yeah that color looks sick as fuck, but is it only me or do those rims look cartoonish?

Almost looks like you used the normal method for the front of the car and just airbrushed a cool blue around the edges of the side.

Realy nice job

nice chop, only think i dotn like is the wing.....heh ehh

[spididdy]

yeah he did take that tint from another car. and now that i look at thatwing it kinda looks goofy.

[LadyLuke]

the fender on the opposite side is to high in my opinion

[crxlvr]

the only thing i dont like are the rims, and the front bumper, the placement is fine, but the middle is kinda blurry.

good work.

I dont think anyone else will notice this so I should draw attention to it...

I like how you added subtle things like you even changed the small reflection of the wheels and calipers to fit your mods.

Hey thanks all,

Addressing a few comments...

Tint: The tint is not from another car. To do tint, I take a picture of some scenery (a treeline in this case) and adjust the saturation to about -70, then adjust the brightness/contrast until the treeline turns black. I then Clone stamp the scenery image onto a new layer over the car, adjust the opacity of the level to 50% and use the eraser tool to trim the windows until they only cover the glass sections.

Color Change: I select Duplicate Optimised to make a new clone image, and desaturate it (black & white) then use the vivid light tool to change the color to a darker blue, then using the clone stamp tool I transfer the copied image to a new layer on the original image. I then use the eraser tool to trim the excess color from everything put the body panels

Wheels: Wheels are chrome, and do not look cartoonish in the larger original image. I had to hand draw in the rotors with the paintbrush tool.

Spoiler: It was also hand drawn using the paintbrush tool and only black and white. It's too big

Bodykit/fender badging/side exhaust/front grille/foglights/angel eyes/hood vents/eyelids: Hand drawn

Also, nobody mentioned it, but I turned the Coupe into a 4 door.
