COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008

I thought just like last year I would make the theme:

Halloween

I hope we get alot of entries this time.
Thanks for the picture suicidoors.

I will let it run til the end of the month and get a poll up first thing in November or as soon as we get 30 entries.
30 is the max for a Poll.

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

If it remains the only entry, why not?

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

I'm going to do one, but will probably wait till the last minute to post it incase I want to change things up a bit!

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

To get an idea what we are looking for here I am posting the original picture from last year and the picture that won.

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

That's really good. Whose chop is that that won last year?

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

I have this one done...but I am not posting it until after there are some other's up. Hey - I posted first last month...I can lay back some this month.

Good Luck to all you other choppers.:cool:

Truck in downtown Sao Paulo, where it's still working long hours like it did 60+ years ago, when it was first introduced.

I just couldn't get any lazier... for the Halloween part, there's a black cat on the front seat (you can't see it... it's behind the door) ;)

Wow, this is some good stuff so far. One question for XXL, why is the cat driving the opposite direction of the buses around him?

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Okay. I guess I'll go ahead and throw mine in. I haven't changed anything on it in about a week so I might as well. I really liked it till I saw some of your guys' chops. Very nice.

All I have is windows paint...
So I did some body mods: chopped,sectioned,lowered, lenghtened the rear fenders and shortened the bed.
A quick shop logo for the halloween factor....

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Ha ha! My wife and I are cracking up at Orange's mooning scarecrow.

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

My wife would probably say it looked like me! :lol:

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Nice work so far, keep em coming.

I still have to get mine done. Just can´t find the time.

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Heres my attempt.....probably spent too much time on it but learned a lot about how to make stuff look the way u wanted.....so not a waste....

Wow, these are great!

The Stay Puff Man in bw4sale's one is funny :lol:

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

I love the color layout on that last one. And the reaper in the smoke is a nice touch.

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Good Job but it´s the way you want it. I just suggested a theme.
It´s nice to see that you all are heading the same direction though.

Thanks ahead of time to everyone for submitting.

Keep them coming. Thanks!

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

I didnt really mean me, haha, just in general, takes time to get things to flow right, shading and filters are my new best friend...lol

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

I can see that I'm not going to win this year!
These are some cool entries. :cool:

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

I'll give it a shot

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

I gave it a shot..

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Don't worry...I spent too much time as well. People will never see it, but I spent a solid 8 hours + on mine. My wife just don't get it...she thinks it's work, but it really is fun sometimes.

The outlining of all the little source photos, coloring, shading, blending, etc. Takes time that you just don't see. Especially when you aren't a pro. The good guys at this stuff would knock it out in no time I bet.

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Here is my stab at it....

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Yea thats what im talkin about. I spent at least that much time if not more, but it flew by, found myself working into the wee hours of the mornin sometimes, lol. I must say though, u can really learn a lot through trial and error, thats basically how i learned to everything on ps, besides u guys....

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Give it a try, Yours was good last year!!!

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

He already did. Scroll up and look at post #11. ;-)

I can tell right now that this is going to be a close one.
Mine is almost done too. :metal:

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

:lol: Just further proof :banghead:

Re: COTM - Chop of the Month - October 2008
 

Too bad XXL, I can´t recycle the one from last year. There are too many entries. You better get a new one done quick. ;)


Dang, you were done quick! :-)
Mine took about 2 weeks working on it here and there. I don´t have any idea how much time I put into mine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For the poll I will post the pics in the size allowed for attachments so they will all be about the same size. (max. width 642)
Don´t worry about getting them downsized, I will take care of that.

Heres mine.
