TY. May change it up just a tad and add some guns.

Mahalo brother.

Well it looked sort of like a mini tank and I thought a weapon would look good.

TY CM. Originally it had a tail fin, but I removed it because it made the vehicle look way too much like a plane. As per your suggestion I re-added the tail, and in my opinion it does make it look less like a "land vehicle" and more like a plane. Thoughts? https://i.imgur.com/AbJdpgv.jpg

I saw that yucky stuff under the tail you pointed out, and took care of it. Surprised that got passed me, so TY for your eagle eye. If anyone wants to know a trick for finding stray stuff that should have been masked or cut out, just use a temporary "Stroke" and it will reveal the bad stuff.

Thanks again for your help. I tried quite a few tails. Tall ones. Short ones. Long ones etc and really thought it made it look too much like a plane. Here is what I think was the best one with a tail. https://image.ibb.co/gLdvwR/rebuilding_car.jpg

I did however raise the wheels (or lower the body) and I like it a bit better.

Mahalo sister Z.

Haha. Such a hard decision sometimes when making these Chops. Probably should have listened to CMYK46.

You won anyway so it would have made no difference except you might have got an even higher score than you did. 60% always looks so much better than 59.9.

Hi Still26, I didn't bother adding an SBS because I thought the steps were obvious. However, since you ask, I simply used some topaz filters on the car image and blended them together on overlay. Then I copied and pasted the image to the table image and covered the book which was originally on the table. I used the perspective tool to change the perspective of the car so it looked like it was lying on the table and added a small drop shadow. I copied the hand from the source, pasted it on top of the car layer and added a drop shadow. I copied the brush from the source and replaced the pen in the hand with the brush. I made the top of the red brush by copying part of the lower section of it and flipping it horizontally, transforming it to fit and I rounded the top of it with the eraser.

You should never call yourself any kind of moron, not even in jest. You are a very intelligent woman and you learn fast. We are all learning new things.

Thanks. That would be fun.

Thank you again.

Thank you.
