Your shot discouraged me Swiss. lol. Just kidding but don't hold the comp for me, not sure if I can get one in.
 
Awright, hold the phones. I've got an entry, and it'll be in by no later than noon tomorrow on my time. It's about 11PM here now, for reference.
 
It's 3am
I'm doing a run NOW for a shot.
I will edit tomorrow, and somehow have it in before I got to work, or i will die trying.

EDIT:
Well, I might die at work, but here is, my

FINAL ENTRY


This was my first venture in any form of real car "modification" using PS. I've done a little cleanup (which came out very BAD) but none of this. I sat down at 4am, and screwed around for a little over an hour. I was dumb, and did this AFTER i added my noise filter. (D'oh!) So, there are areas where there is no noise. I give no damn about it. hehe.
I resized it to hide some of the errors. most are still seeable. My biggest struggle was the front fender. God, I hate that front fender. It was like I was fighting the damned thing, the whole bloody time.
The windshield started out as iffy, and actually turned out decent enough for me. Did the highlights on the Pirelli signs for kicks, they turned out nice enough too. The front rim was probably overdone, and needed to be blended together better, but I tried. The tire smoke, another successful venture.
Definitely the best area of the car is the front end. that came out so well.
Overall, I think it's a decent first attempt at actually doing something that might be relevant to a 2.0 competition, instead of the more halfassed stuff I'd had before. I still don't have a snowballs chance in hell against NTX and Swiss though.

BTW: it IS purple. it's a VERY pinkish shade of purple, but Purple it is. And you guys have no idea how hard it was to get this thing to drift. FAILURE after FAILURE.

Now, what the hell do I tell my boss when he's pissed that I'm beyond tired?

@ tupacrulez - Aside from what you pointed out...the cleaning is pretty for the first "real attempt". I'm very glad to see that you've taken that next step bro! :D:tup:

oh, btw, Just tell your boss that you were drifting a Ruf all night and that you will probably do it again...:P
 
Finally, I got it ready. Would've had it last night, but my internet went out as I was about to upload.

~Final Entry~




I think as far as the picture (background) itself goes, it's by far the best here. The photoshop, not so much. Too bad my pearlescent paint job isn't very easily seen because of the lighting angle.

Sorry Swiss, this won't happen again. I never really intended to do this one.
 
I like the idea you had w/ a pearlescent type paintjob (like a TVR or something), but the background is a bit too dark,for the already dark car. It provides no contrast to the car (Something I had ALOT of problem incurring with other purple cars I used).
 
That's how the picture is. I don't feel like screwing around with that.

And where's the radial blur on your wheels? You can resize them to a perfect circle, blur, and then return them to the normal shape and they'll look great. Also, a very slight noise filter on the road combined with a motion blur would look very good.

I can already tell that Swiss has by far the best shot. I'd say NTX, except the blue windows are very annoying.
 
Dude....

It is 4am. I am tired. I have a deadline to meet. Do i REALLY wanna screw around with WHEELS?! They were already slightly blurred from the picture, and the rear is blurred already. The front wheel was NOT worth the trouble to me.

If i update my gallery with some new pictures, I may do it. (LOL my gallery hasn't been touched in a few MONTHS. the topic probably isn't even on here anymore.)

Also, it has a 2% noise filter already. I only used 1.55 on your V12 LMR.
