Funkshen's Art Pile :: Update v1.1

[Funkshen]

Welcome!

To Funkshen's Art Pile.​

G'day guys! I've been a lurker of these forums for far too many years, and some of the old folkies in the photomode forums of GT4 may remember who I am.. But basically this thread serves the same purpose as the rest and ill be leaving all my junk in here! so be sure to come back time and time again just incase you miss anything.

Week Six 2.0 Comp Entries.
This is humble beginnings to the Art Pile, but I've gotta start somewhere! I had two edits for this weeks comp. Even though i like the Green lambo shot better, experience tells me that vibrant colours are able to stand out much more when surrounded by many others pictures, hence drawing more attention to my shot. Either way, have a gander and make a comment if you haven't already in the comp thread!

AMAZING.

WOW! Those are, amazing. AWESOME work!

 

[RetroGiant]

Really glad to see you get a gallery up here! Shots look nothing short of amazing! Big fan and can wait to see more!

The color on the yellow murcie is insane. Great to see your return 👍

 

[JTSnooks]

Beautiful, and you made the right choice for the competition entry. The only thing is that in the fullsize photo, the conflicting blur lines and excessive "smudged" look are readily apparent. Still a beautiful photo, but I think it would have been better without so much post-processing.

 

[GPR]

Kind of agree with JTSnooks a little. But from an overall view they both look awesome. And quite unique.

I look forward to seeing more. 👍

 

[Funkshen]

SVX: Cheers moite!

RetroGiant: Cheers! Hopefully more to come soon!

Franz: Always a pleasure to have a compliment from you my man!

JTSnooks: I could not agree more Snooks.. It's a result of lack of practice when doing complex corner blurs!! I haven't done one in probably over a year and a half, maybe more.. So i was overly frustrated trying to get it right. I never did.. But in a way, It gave it a bit more of an artsy feel, opposed to striving for realism as everyone aims to do! Gotta spin a negative into a positive right?

GPR: Unique is probably the wrong word! But i hope this may be a common theme through-out my stay here!

1.1 - Volkswagen Splitty.
Click For 1500x1000 pixels.

Here is the first of many random edits to come using various cars I admire. Nothing spectacular with this, just felt like producing something solid in the realms of realism and cleanliness and fairly happy with the result. C &C welcome.

Oh look! It's Funkshen! Good to see you back pal 👍

 

[SVX]

Cool! I love original and retroness. Awesome!

Great to see you back
Your pictures have a certain style to them, shirking the realism and going for eye candy
Very cool. Interesting to see the photoshop blurs applied to GT5 pictures, I haven't ventured anywhere into that with GT5 unlike what I did with GT4, I'm far too lazy when GT5 does it so easily.

Anywho, nice stuff, I'm looking forwards to future updates

You have a very paint-ery style I like very much, great colors.

 

[Pebb]

I like the second shot in post 2.

 

[Funkshen]

cheers everyone for the words! My style is very much more on the arts side of things. I see every image from GT5 as an opportunity for photo-manipulation as opposed to an opportunity to take a realistic photograph. I know its never going to be the real thing, so i don't really bother trying..

I love the style of that VW shot, it has a certain retro charm to it without being overdone. The full size image is only 799 x 548 pixels though, nowhere near the 1500 x 1000 that it says above!

 

[RetroGiant]

Very bold and striking. I'm digging it big time. So far your pics have taken a more "artwork" style than most and I love it!

Wow, the HDR Lambo is amazing, but I hate looking at at it because it the blur makes me feel as if I'm moving and I start get nauseous. I swear, I'm not even kidding you.

First one with Lambo is lovely
