ATC's WIP Thread (fun inside XD)

Been suffering from chopper's block recently.. don't seem to be able to finish anything...
So was hoping you guys could help me out with it?
>What should I finish and what should I scrap?<
>What should I finish first?<


And here are the wips:
1) This one's for the stance comp. So far all the new paint is brushed... was really happy with it and going well. Then lost all motivation. Don't know if i can be bothered to finish. Now whenever I open it, i just see it as this horrible brown turd :/

2) An old wip. Once again all new paint is brushed. Struggled to find a new bg for ages, now 6 months on I've finally got one... but again - no motivation to complete :/

3) Woo a civic! XD Getting on for a year old now. Paint is fully brushed - my first attempt at matte. It's almost finished, but i'm not satisfied with the windscreen, windows or backdrop. I just can't make it look right :(

4) Wanted to create something epic... just got bored of the brushing and with a lack of reference I was really struggling. Debating whether to give this up altogether?

5) Same as above really. After the impreza failed, i thought i'd try with this miata. It was going well, but I'm not sure where to take the styling, or how to make it look shiny again :/

6) No brush so far, but it's not copy and paste either. Compare the reflections to the base picture. You'll notice they're identical save for the colour. Brushing random colours on a new layer and playing with layer properties achieved this effect. I really want to finish this, but I can't find a good bg :( Any help?

7) Finally - the supra comp. Not much done. Don't know if it's got potential. What do you reckon?

Any feedback is much appreciated, but what i really want to know is what, if any, should i finish?

I think you should finish that M3 because the paint and scene are epic! Don't listen to Nordic :mrteeth:
all your chops got potential ;)
some will need a lot of effort to finish them but i know the end result will be epic
should finish the bmw as that was your comp and if nordic thinks his turd is shaped like an e46 well then he's got problems
but overall they've all got potential :)
about the wips, majority of them look good, each one of them has potential that would look if you finished them
especially the silvia
bmw is good too, but still not fan of color
rest have potential too but i think those are best at this stage

You using my front wheel on the bmw that I did
92% of the teenage population has moved on to rap. if you are part of the 8% that stayed with rock, put this in your profile
i think you should keep all of them, because they're awesome.
My personal opinion is try to finish the BMW first, cause looks awesome, and don't listen to Nordicman (also he is a very very good chopper) if you like the colour and the style let's go! Finish it!
2) I'll try to search a bg for you, but i don't promiss I'll find.
3) i don't know sorry :S
4) i think the subaru is f...ducking awesome! try to finish it. I believe in you, that you can make it so epic.
5) I'm quotign you: "Focus on making something that looks good - not necessarily awesomely styled with huge amounts of brushing, but something relatively simple that looks great "
If you continue that look/style with the rain drops, i don't think it would be a worse chop than some of yours.
6)try to find another bg :)
7) try to design a cool body, or just "focus on making something that looks good" :)

I hope that you understand what I'm trying to say :D sorry for my bad english :)
