Kenny's Muscle Car Competition Week 1

[kennythebomb]

Ok guys and girls, it's time to show off your best muscle car pics taken in GT4 photomode.

Basically, no strict rules to adhere to this week, just upload some pics of your favorite musclecar(s).

You can do anything you want in photoshop, provided you still retain the basic qualities of the photo you took in GT4

Today is June 11th, so on June 18th I will choose the winner at say 3pm.

Limit 5 entries per participant, although only one per person will be included in my final and the poll.
Go!

I don't wanna be harsh, but if you look at the other competitions except the photomode, photoshop and the vicious competition, the other competitions just plain suck, and this one seems to follow the same path!

Look at the rally competition, 1 vote..2 votes...nothing more!

Anyway, if you want it to suceed, you'll have to work hard!

👍

I wanted to say that, but didn't want to sound too harsh.

 

[Div is back]

Me too, but somebody had to do it!...

I'm sure Kenny will understand!

 

[ferrari_chris]

The open rules should attract a few entries though - any Photoshop mods, up to 5 entries. That'll really get people into action I think.

Right Kenny, here are my entries. I told you I'd get some:

 

[kennythebomb]

I understand full well that there's a good chance it won't succeed, but hey there's no harm in trying....if there is low response than I wont do any more.

I might also start pm'ing people inviting them to join the competiton, too

 

[vr6gti72]

Id enter....but there are a couple superior PS guys, and if they enter there will be no chance

 

[Div is back]

Yeah Vicious is gonna kill us all...

 

[vr6gti72]

Yeah Vicious is gonna kill us all...

Yup...or pixeljunkie....I went to school for graphic design but that was like 7 years ago and Im in no way up to par as they are.

 

[kennythebomb]

I don't want this to be a competition where the guys who use photoshop for a living automatically win, so don't be afraid to enter. I'm not necessarily wooed by amazing photoshop skills, I'm more interested in the base picture.

I always tell my friends I like women that look great without make-up.

If you can come up with an amazing angle or reflection or a clear picture that is framed well, that is my first consideration.

 

[Vicious VP]

Yeah Vicious is gonna kill us all...

Thanx for the vote of "confidence" but I think you are safe. I don't really have the time for yet another comp!

 

[vr6gti72]

Im sure if you were inspired you would really distroy us all...lol...but If I see a topic I was inspired by I might give it a try...

To be honest we don't need anymore competitions, I think the admins should block anymore. There is plenty to do and plenty of viarity already.

Sorry Kenny just my thought man..

Sorry Kenny just my thoughts man..

To be honest, and with all due respect, I don't think there is ENOUGH variety.

There's huge response to the main competition threads but no one seems to be interested in the ones other people do. Vicious has had some success and swissbear a little but I really can't understand why people don't go for more...

 

[suzq044]

hmm.. well the only muscle-car i like to drive, is the cuda... but i'll just race that muscle car race again.. i'll post mine in a few hours

 

[insane]

I say go for it. This could be just different muscle car themes, I like it. Start week 1 and set a theme up (like the other comps) and just pic a winner! Then from there it will go on and on.

 

[kennythebomb]

Awesome! 👍

Insane, you got it exactly. I hope to make each week a little different, believe me I can be creative at times

 

[stinkfistZ06]

would you count a 4th gen camaro as a muscle car because i no people who will only count cars from 1964 - 1973

 

[stinkfistZ06]

 

[kennythebomb]

Yeah, they definitely classify. 1964-1973 are the prime years but hey there's countless examples of forerunners to the musclecar before those years, the mid 50's bel airs, early vettes, and on and on....and many cars made today that I would count as a muscle car with a big engine and looks to go along with it.

I like the picture, notably because of how the road looks, different than in any other picture I've seen from that track

Just think - if no one else enters, you win!

 

[ferrari_chris]

Just think - if no one else enters, you win!

What does he win?

Actually, if you could somehow think of a way to offer a prize to the winners (it doesn't need to be anything big) then you'd have heaps of entries. I don't think any of the other comps offer prizes. You should work on way to do this. If there's an actual prize at the end people will compete like mad...

 

[JTSnooks]

If no one else enters? Oh, so sorry, me enter My favorite, the '64 GTO




Well there's five, the max we're allowed I've got lots more, but I guess those will be just for me

Very nice all around JT! The smoke looks pretty decent


@insane - The point of this comp is NOT to mirror another competition. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

 

[insane]

well, the other comps.... were successful......

 

[suzq044]

then enter those.. they are too full for thier own good, not everyone gets in the poll.. although i think 5 is a little many entries, at that rate, if all of them get into a poll.. you'd have 3 entrants.

Oh I should have specified - only one picture per person will be in my final.

I'll edit that in now.

[kennythebomb]

i think the years that should be allowed are up to 71.. cause thats my cuda. LOL
edit:here's mine:

I really like the second picture. However I am noticing on some of your pics streaks/bands....do you have them at full resolution or did you cut image quality/color somehow?

@insane - Nice drifting pics, by the way
