@Nicknamealguem

Thanks for this thrilling comp! 👍
It's great to be part of the game while it's getting closer.
Thrilling should be the match Moglet vs.bmxmitch.
Looking forward

Nice theme! I start work on this tonight, best of luck GOTMAXPOWER and everyone in the competition!
 
Nooooooo another difficult theme and facing Gtuned! I hope I can give you a challenge, 2 identical cars is going to be difficult
 
The Semi Final Rematch is on! Best of wishes TH!

I looooove the theme. The 60's had some beautiful machines.


-Pink should be very interesting

-60's Muscle and steel.

-Pimp my ride could be fun.

-Copy Cat may have just became one of my favorite themes.

-24H, bring on du Mans

-Looking forward to seeing pit stop, some of my favorite pictures to take, don't disappoint us!

-Sight Seeing, There's lots of very good places.

-Let it rain, no pixels

Happy hunting to everyone!

Question, The Art Morrison Corvette is called a 60 but it isn't listed as a 60. The Chassis is a 2003 Custom, with a 60 body, and an all-aluminum 427 engine.

Thoughts?
 
Yes Jason, this should be fun. Rematch of Tournament Season One Final. Bring it ;)

Awesome theme - so many great sixties cars. Good luck.
 
Sightseeing....hmmm, this maybe puts moglet out of his comfort zone! :P
Curious where you will take your sightseeing tour mog! ;)

Also, why can't I take this shot?
Would've made my weekend much more stressless. Hope I find some hours (going to need them against moglet:scared:)



ohh, and some really nice other matches. Pit Stop should be interesting or the copy cat match (not an easy one though).
Can't wait to see them all:dopey:

Second that.

But I find the first two 2.0 themes kinda weird.

24h: In the explanation it has to be a real world race track at night, but below it says any. Then the MR restriction. Why? There´s also a 24h on the Nurb where many FR and even FF cars are running.

Pit Stop: Why should the cars be Red, when it´s all about the pit stop?

Match 4 could be interesting in terms of vanishing the jaggies
 
Nooooo !!
I love that sightseeing theme !!!
Damn you Mitchy !




:P
sooooory:P

haven't even recognized it yet, it really seems a bit odd.
But it shouldn't be a problem to find a red car or a MR racecar for those themes.

Good luck to all again. It's really a pleasure to take part in this Tournament and actually make it this far again.
 
I think those restrictions are remnants of the first round.
Nick probably forgot to remove those lines. 👍
 
..... and there I was dreaming of Toscana.... sigh

and then the nightmare of rain :ouch: Oh well I should be used to it living in the UK. Welcome to pixelation hell Klaus :dopey: Best of luck mate 👍

so wish I got that scenery gig :grumpy:

Oh thanks, forgot to remove that from previous round 1 themes.

And I am allowing the Art Morrison in match 2, 60's.

Just had a shoot in the rain - those jaggie pixels aren't going to be fun to edit out :crazy:

Good luck to you too :)
 
Great.
Hard theme, and I'm against 725.
Crap.

:lol:
That is my theme. :P
I guess it's payback for beating me. :sly:

Anyway. Good luck in the competition. This should be another close match involving you Gtuned.
 
entry now sent in... seen enough pixels to last a lifetime :ill:

expectations are not too high this round but great fun getting this far all the same :)

Best of luck to everyone 👍
