2D - Car manipulations

Photoshopping cars - or chopping as it is well known - is something I have done for almost ten years. At first making a chop took less than a week. Nowdays my attention to detail has gone perhaps a bit over the edge with these photomanipulations. The MkI Golf and Mazda MX5 both took almost a year to finish and especially with the Golf I wanted absolutely everything in the image to be made by me including the background.

There are some more "chops" on display on my deviantart page which I didn't include here. Please take a look.

VW Golf MkI. Everything is self made, not much copy/paste here. Even the background is photographed by me. Base image.  

Maxda MX5. Satin like paint, green details and aggressive bodykit. Base image. 

Porsche 911 GT1. This one worked much as and design study and therefore not much attention was put to the background. Base image.

Nissan GTR made with my friend Olli to the Autemo world team battle. We made it easily to the second round.

Toyota Auris GT330. Aggressive little beast meant to battle in the Japanese JGTC GT300 series. Base image. 

Mitsubishi Eclipse. All show all go was the project name for this. There was quite a bit of brushing with the engine I tell you!

Lamborghini Gallardo. A lot of effort went into reflection. Still not satisfied with them. Could not find the base image, sorry!

Subaru Impreza. Meant to be the follower to the GT300 Auris but this one would compete in the GT500 class. Base image.

High Speed Tag NYC featuring Porsche 911 and Lamborghini Murcielago. Base image.

First own design concept. The base was a Porsche Carrera GT.

Second concept car. This it a Bentley. First touch to 3D Studio Max came when modeling the rims for this some years ago.
