Hi guys this is a thread were u can tell your story how did u started choping, here is mine.
I started choping in 2012 somewhere in june i think and it was by accident i was loking for something about cars and i have found this video

after that i have downloaded photoshop and started working

I started almost 10 years ago now, was on a tuning forum where suddenly I saw threads about picture tuning, and a small tutorial, I downloaded photoshop and tried it out and well, here I am

I used to draw cars in MSPaint when that was still the best program you could get...

Me too

you guys mean manga/pixel cars?

if so, then yeah, me too (my pixel portfolio: www.oski.cba.pl )

vt seemed too hard at that moment, so i starter putting some pixels together to make a car, then few years later i tried doing some virtual tuning, and i managed to produce few chops.

I started modifiying a "blueprint" (the three views of the car, but in a photo) of a Mitsu 3000GT first series with Paint, in 2010. I wanted to make it a bit like the Evo X. But I didn't know I was chopping. After a while, I came across the main italian forum of virtualtuning and in the 4th December 2010 I started chopping.

I remember back in 2004 a friend showing me a photo of a Ford Probe in a car magazine. He told me he had made the body kit, wheel change and the new background in Photoshop. I found that interesting and thought to myself "I have Photoshop so I can do that too." The first (like 20) ones I did were horrible though.

This was my first ever chop. I still find it awesome

i was into drawing cars in paper and painting oil and acrylic since i was veeery young, was getting some features and free subscriptions on the portuguese and spanish maxi tuning magazine, but the digital side came in around 2002 when i found this virtual tuning site called dp_studio. net, where big names of the virtual tuning community used to post, like charlie, uber soldat, nom15 etc, i got very interested on it so started my self and was a big noob at it, then digimods happened, and well, i never stopped since lol.
