Cool Photoshop

Check out these desktop wallpapers I made with Photoshop. What do you all think?
These aren't the full size but smaller ones so I can show easier for the web.






thats all for now....

later,
bill

Very nice man...next time you get bored make one with the 93-97 Camaro...preferably black

The Firehawk is my fave though...if I had one, I'd use it.

nice work and good effort

got to be honest with you
it's allot of work to polish them up though
1. Shadows.
2. Edges. (way to sharp. perhaps you would want to put a little transparency on the top layer jus enough to smooth it out a bit - always works for me)
3. on the firehawk - the background is a little too dark and the "Firehawk" sign steels a lot of attention

I'm not trying to be **** or anything - just giving you a few points you can use

btw: love the background on the 4th

Thanks for the constructive critisism. Im always looking for more ways to improve my artwork. One question, shadows? Are you saying I need them or is there too much?

The ones you see are just some samples. I have more on thirdgen.org...caution dialupers...

Man Bill,
You seriously impress me...
I have PS 7, but I use Windows PaintBrush still, I can't figure nothing out on it. If you just enjoy doing these, I have a car that I would like you to make one with...if you got AIM, shoot me on IM (screen name in sig). If not, e-mail me or Private Message me or something. I'd be more than happy to sport one of your backgrounds on my comp's. I would give you some pointers, but I like them too much like they are and don't know what to tell you. Get back to me...I don't want to be the one who starts a tradition of bombarding you on here with folks wanting you to make them backgrounds if you don't want to.

Thanks for the nice comments. I do all this work on my spare time. I started doing this on the boards at thirdgen...its up to 4 full pages and close to 300 replies. Ive done over 65 of these babies!!!!!! Im trying to develope a business now to go to car shows and sell this art work. Im not taking any orders yet because I haven't got that all set up. Im working on getting a GM logo license agreement too. Im working on the application to send with samples. Ive been kept pretty busy with this artwork so far.

Later,
bill

Talking Me too, Me TOO!!!

Bill: Could you please do one of my car also if you have some spare time?? . I'd appreciate it so much!!! If you could, would you do something like "White Ghost" as the main writing or something in a really cool font scheme with "Z28" also? Check out my 2 websites below for pics!!

Also, that'd be awesome if you could email me the 1024*768 version to RideC2@aol.com
