i thought it was easy but i'm still in the search fase
loads of good base pics and inspiration pics on the net just not coming together
but that will def. come

maybe it's time to start using my tablet and try hand dirt brushing
i hope that will work anyway

like the idea, i´ll see if i can manage to finish it

well i really struggled , i had so many great donors and inspiration pics , finding a good base with was working with my plans took me a good while
yesterday evening suddenly it all came together
so tonight i'm gonna continue the chop
all i can say it's gonna be a rock crawler and the bg is already crazy .. made out of 3 peices
not gonna make a wip because it's already to far advanced to start a wip now ...
so just wanted to share that

i'm curious on other people are you guy's getting somewhere ??

nope, atleast me not, im not entering, im working on old wips and an mr2 now

So I could use the chop made for the other competition (with some changes of course, would be boring otherwise and it´s not extreme enough atm)?

pm staff i'd say tb sure

well gonna quit chopping now , continue tomorrow .. gone mad the detail is already crazy
never thought i'd get something like this
maybe gonna be one of my better works

at least i hope so

im looking forward to seeing your entry rich. youre one of the most realistic choppers i know and ive never seen you do anything crazy

it's realistic styled indeed , i almost never said promosing stuff about my work , but in this case i was so enthousiastic because it was / is going so well
off course a lot of stuff is from donors .. would be almost impossible to do without reference and donor stuff
but everything i toutched so far is altered in a way with added brush and stuff like that
atm i'm experimenting with brushing mud
it looks horrible untill i blurred it that helps the realism

when i first read that i was like WHATTTTTTTTTTT ? then i read the next bit and my heartrate went alot lower
false alarm, dont ever scare me like that again mister

lol

would be hard to think i would never chop again
i think it's something that will always play a part in my life .. i'm not doing it 24/7 these days like in the past but....
still going strong
most people quit at a certain age , i started older (now 34 years old) so maybe thats the key
dont start chopping before you are 20 - 22
