Body swap - High performance exotica.

[SandStorm]

This is my second attempt at making this thread, my first failed, so here we are.

This is my second ever completed chop. I had an idea of swapping bodies between cars, so I tried these two. I never thought they'd fit so nicely though!

I call this creation the "Mercarrari CLK-360" for good reason - it's got the body of a Mercedes CLK with the top of a 'Rari 360GT.

What do you think? I'll post the originals at the top, then my chopped picture below.

Original #1:

Original #2:

And now finally, the chop!

Not bad, not bad.

You just need to work on getting the colours right...

 

[SandStorm]

If you're referring to the different colour on top than bottom, that was deliberate - I thought it looked quite good.

The rear vision mirror on the side is still red...

What rear-vision mirror? Are you talking about the mirror on the side, the one that is black?

Take a photo and highlight what you mean.

 

[Cobraboy]

He means the wing mirror.

 

[Shannon]

Ah, whatever its called. I'm not thinking straight. Look around the edge of the window - it's red. It should be grey/silver.

 

[SandStorm]

It looks fine from where I'm standing.

 

[SandStorm]

Ahh well, enough pointing out of mistakes! Remember, strange though it may seem to mere mortals like yourselves, I am not perfect!

Mercarrari?

It's took a looooooonnnnnnnngggggggg time to load (56K) Anyway, hey! Not a bad chop at all. Now it's my turn to chop the Merc

What should I do....... hmm.....

Maybe another LM? Gullwing doors?

Nah, that's not original any more.

Much smoother, good looking

Yeah, but I completely rooted up the shadows.

 

[Vasco]

See, how can you add the part and then get it the same colour with shadows and stuff still there...because that's what I can't do!

 

[SandStorm]

Easy peasy - highlight the area that you want to change the colour of with the polygon lasso, then go Image > Adjust > Channel Mixer. Play with the colours until you get the one you want.

Thanks to epic for that!

 

[Shannon]

Or select the part, put it on a new layer. Press Ctrl+U. Hit Colorize.

 

[SandStorm]

Yeah, I was going to mention that, Shannon, but it never works for me.

 

[Flerbizky]

For some weird reason the 1st original (Fudgerari) looks "chopped" in itself

 

[SandStorm]

Yeah it does a bit, doesn't it?

 

[epic]

very nice for a second chop, reminds me kind of like a Vanquish (looking at the roof going towards the rear). 👍 keep it up

 

[Vasco]

Nah, I can't do it... Anyway, thanks for helping Jon, and epic...

I'm proud as of this, hey. I especially like the part below the window, that looks boss.

 

[Vasco]

Hey Jon, where did you get these pictures in the first place?

 

[SandStorm]

Here.
