I'm about as useful at photoshop as a tuner is at growing hair on his chest. I've had a dream of building a Camaro ever since I was about 7, so I'm wondering if someone might help me out with making a desktop background for my computer.

I really like blue with the ground effects, so this might be a good base picture.


I would like the wing of the Z28.


Also, some vette wheels would be awesome (perhaps with some red calipers if lighting and spacing allow)


Then maybe some T-tops and the Iroc badge if it's not too hard, and a nice backdrop (a nice waterfall perhaps). If someone would be able to help me out with that, I would definitely be a happy camper!

 

I've been learning some GIMP and so far I've got the z28 badge on there where the RS used to be and got me some rims.

 

I've got the wing on there. It looks a little weird, but I can't quite figure out why.

 

I spent about an hour goofing around to get that Iroc Z badge on there, but here she it. I think that pretty much concludes the car, but those rims still look a little weird. I may revisit them later.

 

Alrighty then. Here's the 'final' version of the Camaro itself.

So far, I have:
inverted it
swapped out the RS badge for a Z28
stuck an Iroc emblem on the side
dropped a wing on it
got rid of the chevy bowtie on the grill
took out the antena
put some different rims on it

Not bad for a n00b in a couple hours. I think I'll take a bit of a breather before trying to get a nice background on it.

Dah...crap. I just noticed the telephone pole in the window. I shall have to take that out too.

 

Hi Bro! Thought I would give it a try. I have done alot of wallpaper pic's of my car. What type of background are you looking for? Here is a photoshop pic of the reflection taken off the windows and side of the car. Looking not bad. I will do up a wallpaper and post it when I'm done. Cheers..

 

Hey, that's pretty nice. I was hoping for a scenic something or another. Perhaps a waterfall, or a nice sunset (although the lighting would be tricky). Thanks man.

 

I saw this one and thought it would be nice.





Here it is with the camaro added and some more photoshoppin.




I know it's not perfect and it's fairly obvious it's been photoshopped in there, but it's not bad for my first day with any real picture editing if I do say so myself.

This was mine when i first started photoshop

 

Whoops! Try this.

 

Here's another background that blends better. I may throw in the fireworks sky from the first one.

 

Hi Bro! Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here. Just was bored and thought I would help out. Here are some I did tonight. Enjoy Cheers Bro's....

 

Those are pretty sweet! Thanks man!

 

NP Bro! I was bored of doing up my car wallpaper. Cheers...

 

Hi Bro! I changed your pic a bit. Check it out! Cheers Bro...

 

I was trying to figure out what didn't quite work in that pic and I think it's because there aren't any shadows on the camaro. The sun appears to be around 10 o'clock.

 

Hi Bro! Here are some more I did up. Now you have alot to choose from to make your computer wallpaper sweet. Cheers

 

I've spent a bit more time on this lately and so far, this is the best rendition I've got. The shadows are still a little weird though.

 

...ok a lot weird.

 

That looks cool! Like the fireworks. The car shadow might be a little to big. But looks good. Cheers Bro..

 

Thanks man. I decided the tree on the left would be a pain in the butt, so I ditched it and the shadow that went along with it. I liked the fireworks from the other pic I posted, so I stuck that in there. All together, I think it's basically done except for the shadow.

 

Just have to play around with it till it looks the way you want. Like the ones I did up above? Kool to play around with the Photoshop. :-) Cheers..

 

Alrighty, here's the latest version. I must say, it looks pretty darn good. I'm even starting to like the shadow.

 

Bro that is SWEET! Like that alot. Shadow looks right on. Great job. Double Cheers Bro..

 

I'm rather pleased with this pic especially since it's my first time doing any real photo editing. Now if they were only this easy to build in real life.

I had a look at some of your pics and they're pretty sweet too. Thanks man!

 

I love this pic of your car.. one of my favs.. stone
