looks good cole!!!

Looks good, like that Dark Crystal text!

Cole! That is awesome! I love it! That will be my new sig! Thanks!!! (It makes me want some new wheels again though )

your welcome BC and thanks guys. im just working on a good WP for that.and the GenVobe worlds are almost complete.

BTW thank you cole for posting that how-to with PS i made my signature that way it's really really easy. and that Blue Crush one looks awesome.

Nice job on BlueCrush...You have quite the imagination.I spent all weekend working on my car......I can't for the life of me understand why I painted my grilles Annodized Red in the first place.I would have taken pics last night but I ran out of daylight. I brought my camera with me to the office today so I can do a photo shoot durring my lunch break. I am quite impressed with the way the high gloss black turned out on the grilles.

awesome! I'm looking forward to the pics.

Just wondering if anyone had any luck/time with my Vibe pic?!?

sorry, I haven't had much time to work on much besides.... work I should have some time after wednesdayHere's just the purple version...

im on it right now its just that black is a pain the the (removed) to get even close to real. and im refrencing that trix behind yours.

I did it to a monotone moonstone way back when to turn the cladding black and it turned out great. I'll try and dig that up and see what I can figure out if you don't have any luck with it.I think it's just that shiny silver color. once you get it dark enough there's no more shiny

maybe we can put like a layer on top of all the color and make it transparent or have it multipy, screen, or overlay property. ill work on it after i get PHXLavas done.

I found the post on here with the pic attached but I can't find the original with the seperate layers anywhere on my comp so I guess it's back to the drawin' board. Those sound like good ideas

can you manipulate colors or copy the black color from the matrix next to his car??? and just seperate the purple from the black?Jason: they might start charging you for time and effort to get this going!!!

When nick starts hiring graphic artist is when I'll get paid for this. until then I'll just take the credit for what I do and a thank you.You can't really just copy a color, well you can but not in the way that we do it. the hardest part of black is obviously keeping the highlights and shadows without it turning into just a matte black.Hopefully nascar will come to our rescue and save the day again

Okay fellow vibers...I just finished my Photo Shoot. I'll create a new topic and post the good pics. I made them as big and beautiful as possible.

I apologize, I didn't see that, I await to see the final pic.

Sweet, thanks , but shouldn't you have been standing watch or something?!? That all-purple is awesome too!

eh i am watching...kinda...well i'm watching my computer screen ha ha ha no i'm just here to man the CQ desk and telephone

I think that actually looks pretty cool. All matte like that. That real dark purple goes good with the black too. Just make sure that phone doesn't go anywhere joholste!

Quote, originally posted by ANO_Vibe »he said he wasn't done yetBut he also says:Quote, originally posted by NascarXprt »well i have one vibe semi-done and it is Blue Crush. i just need to make it fit on a reg screen instead of a wide screen.

I don't know if he's done with it in that respect or not. If not, then yes it needs some fine tuning, imo, But I don't know his intention with it so ask him. I just assuming he's not done with it.Nascar does awesome work but you have to cut him some slack b/c his classes and stuff.

yea i failed to mention that it needed some extreme fine tuning. the one you posted looks killer BTW. yea i have a huge work load right now and im kinda pressed for time working 25-30hrs aweek and having 12hrs of college classes aint helpin either. but i am trying and when i do get chances they are till late at night and im kinda tired by then so that is one reason that that thing i made looks ****y. thank you ANO.

no problem

Great work, Nascar!

Yeah, I know what you mean with working and college. About how long does it take you to crank out a PhotoShopped picture?

Nascar...I don't know what you're smokin' but it looked amazing to me. There's a lot of people including me that don't know the first thing about PS and the work that you and ANO produce amazes me. Just so you know I'm not kissin' your (removed) because I want you to make a sweet pic for me, Although I can't wait to see what else you can do...especially with my pics

lol, (removed) kissing aside... There are alot of variables in the "how long does it take" question. It mainly deals with the complexity. The GT-R wallpaper took me probly about 2 hours I guess. Since I didn't do it all in one sitting I don't really know. And some of that was finding pics and just playing around with ideas that I wanted to do. And I still consider that one "not done" b/c I want to work on the background more. (& I'm eventually gonna make a blue version at some point in time)Just keep in mind, If it looks like it's not finished it probably isn't & I love a challenge so don't be shy with ideas. Inspirations has to come from somewhere, right?

ok. ive got two verriations on Brians and i also have three designs for Damrons request and i also have 1 for PHXLavaVibe.here is Damrons three pics:Version #1Version #2Version #3

Wow, AWESOME! Thanks a lot! Definitely gives me something to ponder while I save money, they all look great! That 2-tone with the silver top looks really good, might even have to think about keeping the top silver! I tried messing with PS last night, I SUCK!
