I read someone's comment that we should start up an area on the board for expression session's
I mean a lot of magazine's carry this section in them but I think a better name can be adopted, any idea's and RET can this be done ?
A few idea's I have for a name are
Custom cool
Virtual axe men
Photoshop shop {not sure if this name can be used legally}.
Car art
"J"Pegged.

Anyone who'd also enjoy this section please show your interest.

Sounds interesting to me. How about we make it an art expression section. It could include Photochopped work, drawings, paintings, sculpture etc. Whilst we're at it, how about a FE FC model car section, stock pics or customs.

Ask and ye shall receive.  Check out the new "Galleries" category, which has a new board where you pixel-beaters can go berserk.

Harko,

I've never heard of PhotoStudio, so I can't help you with that.  Sorry.  There is a process I have tried with reasonable success to convert a photo into a charcoal-style drawing, which might be some help.  It might be possible to do it with your software, but the instructions I had are for PhotoShop.

See here: http://www.dsigning.com/photoshop/tutorials/pencilsketch/ for one way of doing it in PhotoShop.  You might be able to bend this to suit your software.

It's been a long time coming because I'm working on the real thing's but here's just a few that I have got spread across the site..

FC Van lowered,Chopped,Sky colour dramatised and check out the channeled HJ {double bonus}


Gree's Beast lengthened rear & front guards,Leaned forward tailfin and headlight{front panel}Hot chick in hot seat,Changed wheel centre's "Very rushed project"


This is a picture of my Ute in original trim on the Nerrigah Rd with the same Ute after a hell of a lot of work following ,Superimposed the people in both cars,
Emphasised the colours of the surrounding's and widened the flamed ute to emphasize the stance.


This is an old Magazine shot  and all Ive done is cut the picture and drop it {Raw form }




This is also from an old Mag ,
Brown FE already had a 2 inch roof chop I have only lowered it

Hey Harko,

You bruoght back a few memories, the picture of the red and white FC was one that I rebuilt and fitted the motor in and mate repaired and sprayed it, that was back in the early 80's Alan Carrol was the owner at the time.
Also the FC van looks like one that was at the last all Holden day in Flemington Vic.

http://photo.starblvd.net/~digger/1-2-3.jpg?i=1032277264

Dont think the pic's worked properly,I had to scan some old pic's I will have to get some advice on how to do it from you.
Keep up the good work,impressed at what you can do!

Steve

Hey Steve.
You build one hell of a nice car. I remember seeing it at the Summernats back in the 80's. I drooled for a week after.
Here is your pic.



To post your pic, just put [img.] in front, and [/img.] behind the URL, only don't put the dot in the bracket, leave it off completely. I needed to put it in there to be able to show you.

Thanx Alex,

Yes it was a head turner in its day!

Cant take all the fame tho, the previous owner had done most of the conversion setting up for V8 and when Alan bought the car we striped down and rebuilt it with extra modifications, paint job, pumped out the guards, rebuilt the motor, set up blower,hid all the wiering and then a lot of polishing and cleaning put it on the trailer as pictured went of to the Melb hot rod show and came second in our class to a good looking two tone grey and silver FC that was well known in it’s day, but I can not remember the fellas name.
It was about 20 years ago   Shocked

Thanx for the info on posting a pic, I did it once and it worked but could not remeber what I did.

Steve.

Excelent steve ,So if you can have something like that slip through your finger's then you must have a cool ride at the moment or at least planning one ?
Must have blown you away to see your FC 20 years down the track on a computer screen , Well I would say that says it all - The calibre of tough that your FC sports is second to none if it can still be passed around now.
A big block in an FC ,I hope you renewed the king pins first before the engine swap.

Leigh
       I cannot express more sincerely that if you enjoy looking at what I have done and want to know more then you need to immerse yourself in a suitable programme  , I have been playing with Arcsoft Photostudio for a few months now and before that - Photoshop .
I find that Arcsoft have limitations on what can be acheived easily and so can still be acheived but differently ,Like going into a house through the front door or climbing a fence and outrunning the Rottweiller to go in the back door
Photoshop (although I had an outdated version) was a lot more efficient and an exelent starting point , Different programmes are not all that different to control its more just getting the feel of them.
Most tasks are easy for example resizing the wheels is acheived by selecting a transform tool(maybe different name in photoshop) ,It will stretch  ,skew ,resize ,Squash etc etc after selecting the area in which you want to work
But before I rattle on too much get yoursel tutorial and go from there Leigh its your best bet ,A lot like learning to play guitar by ear or by instructor.

Who is Rohan Day ? He must be ripping off my ideas hehehe!
