any suggestions it was real fun trying it out and i'm looking for more pictures to work on

Not bad. Did you scale it down or was that the original size? Its kinda small. There's another picture at

...make it into an ad for a car dealership and you could win big!

Shoot, I didn't know that, I have quiet a collection of car pics, how do I do it? :D

its not bad for starting
I'd reccomend perhaps trying to keep some of the original detail of the car and using LOTS of layers ;)
also check with paavo he's the master.

I would suggest using larger, high quality images. It will turn out better in the end. Also, look at some tutorials out there. Look at Paavo's site. I learned a few thing from there. Most of the stuff looks more difficult than it really is. Just use your imagination and always remember ctrl-z.......

Hehe, Paavo gives much inspiration to others x)
And he does have very good tutorials about carchopping, I couldn't have managed to make my first carchop without them. Almost :p
And big pictures are better, it becomes much more difficult to work with very small details.
And IMHO it's better to modify small amounts of a car, one doesn't have to recreate a whole car at once.
And one more thing; it's better to use the original picture - the whole picture - because the lights and shades in the background remain the same, so the picture looks more realistic.

thanx everyone for the comments and tips
