I work for a motoryachts monthly magazine and sometimes we have to do advertising pages for some shipyard... today I've made a quick chop for an half page adv.
As you can imagine here are not wheels, neon, wings, simply a relly bad starting pic and the final result... all brushed.

Starting image:


Chop:

Shouldn't there be some reflections of the boat on the water?

Yep for sure, but when customers ask to do quickly the ADV, when you can say that the deadline for sending all pdf to the printer is "for yesterday", no way to do accurate jobs... for sure better to have the offshore without reflections than the offshore on the tarmac

Fixed an error on the first post... the pic was in CMYK now in RGB

Just a fast update... now ADV is closed For the privacy I've removed the shipyard name (it is on the top of the image) and the adress (on the bigger red square on bottom).
Added water reflection

thats an interesting chop and i rather like it:)

Woah a boat chop! I never really thought that someone might do this.. I never even thought about it!
I think im gona mod a helicopter nao haha joke! This is neat mate! keep it up maybe you can make some titanic thin too

I've a tons of motoryachts hi-res pics, I've only to choose what is the best to chop

nice work, rather unusual but very nice
