So, something cool popped up on my facebook newsfeed and after 3 years of doing jackshait in chopping, I've decided to try something new.
After some time on my new job, I've learned new cool stuff and just want to see how it fits in this corner of photoshop art.

I think some of you peeps remember WTB 2012 round with all new concept of McLaren F1 , and many thanks to Noise024 for big help and support on this big boy.

Okay, since original isn't really in the picture ... okay whatever here it is:
ORIG

Uhm, here is THE REAL ORIGINAL for this thread:

ORIG-the reelhuan

First step - got thumbnail of original, kicked in b/w and decided depth,focus and main light source of image, after that shades, and lights in color, and just retouching with levels to balance it out a little

THUMBS UP

Second step ( or sixth smth ) - just balancing colors, blurring out bad brush, putting all back to big image and clearing blurry stuff. Also decided where focus stuff will be and other shit

THE REAL 7TH STEP

Ninth step (?) - stuff here and there, beauty-ing-it-up, collaging and preparing for rebrush and little recolor, highlights and all fun stuff that I just have no energy to do today

GNITE



Day1 Result:

I just realized how fked up roof is and some other reflections, and just whole image is leaning... Will just fix that and hopefully that would be last step before rebrush stuff

bye :3

sure that the base is no chop? <_<
so far looks good

Yeah buddy, as i wrote it up there, base is chop we did 2012 for WTB, but looking now at it, it was too flat, dead with colors and atmosphere and just plain, so i decided to remaster it

here is my DA, although wip images and everything is so old that links are dead ^^'
