From PhotoChop to Bubble-top

I am excited about the progress and I’m churning up ideas about the side. I am concerned about all of the chrome (= time).

Instead, I tackled the front end; removed the upper bumperette. I sliced the front apart with some semi-accurate paths.

The grille looks more open. I copied the bottom two rows of grille-knobs and pasted the copy back in, leaving the selection active but Menu-View/Hide Edges. I think this command has changed places in newer p-shop versions. The newest section has to be forced into perspective with; Menu-Edit/Transform/Distort. I did this distortion “by-eye”.

Next; I copied a small section of the grille’s bottom near corner, then pasted it and reshaped it to fill in under the near headlight assembly. Many of these little steps are done instinctively and would go just about unnoticed if it wasn’t for writing about them, including the shading and the numerous details within reflections on chrome.

I turned the bumper layer on and slid it up to meet the grille with a bit of retouching to make it match.

    WOW! Charlie! This demo came out great. I am so honored with the attention. Thank you for the opportunity to show off. I have continued fine tuning ELROYDORADO, but it’s not quite finished. Everybody will have to visit the \Tips, Techniques and Tutorials\ in Motorburg’s terrific artists forum to stay caught up. Thanks again (Problem Child, too).

    Very good tutorial!!!! I’m not sure, but I think this could be applied to a program I have on my computer called Xara Xtreme 5….Do you know anything about this program? I use this program to set up my drawings for building my vehicles as described in my web sit at modelsbyken.com

    Hi Ken, I visited the XARA website on Saturday evening and I must say that the software looks powerful. I can’t say if you can get the same results. Their website building software looks really great for anyone who knows not HTML. Thanks for the compliments. You should post your models in Motorburg’s Modeling Agency sometime soon.

    My fanship has been galvanized by this one man.

    Wow

    Absolutely fantastic.

  • RunawayChair said:

    Lemorris, thank you. Great new word; fanship. I immediately pictured a fan-ship. How about, fandom? Fanhood?

    Awesome tutorial, Keith, it took me back to Step By Step Magazine from the late 80’s and through the 90’s, absolute top quality!
