See the high resolution please as it looks so much better. Turned a day scene into night. The dust/dirt was done with PS brushes using brush settings. (5 years and 753 days ago)
Posing for a victory picture, these two men just broke the world`s land speed record in their jet powered vehicle. In case you don`t know, the Bonneville Salt Flats is a densely packed salt pan in Tooele County in northwestern Utah, USA. It is totally flat and smooth for miles. Most of the land speed world records are done here. (5 years and 876 days ago)
Very cool vehicle. I would have added a tail fin, but that's just my preference. It looks like there's a bit of red stuff to clean up under the rear of the fuselage.
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.
As I said, it's your preference. I thought a long low fin would look cool. Lots of the land speed record cars had fins. https://www.google.com/search?q=world+speed+record+cars&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwikhNrvw_3WAhUB5IMKHY56Ag4Q_AUICigB&biw=1724&bih=924
PS: I like the goofy guy in the back seat.
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.
Definitely an improvement. (I do like the one with the tail, though).
Congrats again BWR
Thanks MM.
Congrats BW!
Mahalo sister Z.
Congratulations BWR. I like the one you did with the tail fin better though.
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.

Thanks madamemonty. I feel so lonely with just one comment. But we got you, me, and the clown in the car, which sounds like a damned good party.

Oh my goodness gracious, this one goes out of the ballpark. Your creativity rocks and now , all thanks to your post, you are inspiring me. The colour palette is stunning and catches our eyes immediately. The diagonal placement brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this. I do wish you had put up the steps you used to create this....us peons (speaking of myself) would learn from your talent. Thank you again.
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.
Good grief...I love your work. Do you ever run out of ideas.
Thank you for your response. I never thought of using the perspective tool, I would have sweated and sweated and given up. See , you have taught me .....remember that I am a techno moron but I AM TRYING to overcome this handicap thanks to artists like you!
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.
Wish you lived next door.
Thanks. That would be fun.
Congrats again Angel!!
Thank you again.

I like it
TY. May change it up just a tad and add some guns.
Nice job, congrats on first!
Mahalo brother.
Congrats BW, I'm glad you didn't add any guns in the end, I don't like guns
Well it looked sort of like a mini tank and I thought a weapon would look good.
I never liked how the man driving came out. Could not get him to fit in right.
