Vegeto's first chop - Photoshop Tutorials | Photoshop Contests

Vegeto · 05-21-2006, 08:40 PM

I broke down and could help myself from chopping Veggeto991. Who can resist?

I'm using a program called ArcSoft PhotoStudio2000, I hope to get a decent chopping program soon.

Chop #3 Spent alot of time on it, but it lacks comedy. How do you try to blend rock with flesh? I may never know.

Contest week #2

I'm still having trouble with the humor content, but I managed 3 layers in this one. The first front layer is my Juggernaut cameo, the second features

as a replacement for Sanders on the chicken bucket (they be eat'n nuggets now), and the third layer features a callback from week 1's contest by the lawntractor guy. To make the lawntractor guy fit, I also had to insert grass into the backround. That makes 3 layers of comedy and content, which I found tough with this pic... everything is just so closely jammed into one place that I found it difficult to work with. By the time I was done, I didn't have anywhere good to put the Chopz logo.

Here is the original pic for comarison.

I'm still using an old cheap program that I got with a 5dollar plastic cheap digital camera in the year 2000. I'm finding ways to do things without all the best and latest PS tools. Not quite the same, but I just have to spend more time on some things.

Looks like you're coming along. I usually ask myself what I could do to make it look more realistic (that means not leaving blur marks, aliased pixels)
It used to take me so long to do a basic chop, now I can do them in like 1/3 the time.

Ya, your really getting the hang of it! Good work.
Like worker1 said, the more you do the better and easier it gets. My first chop took me like 2 hours to do and looked like shit. If I were to do that same chop again it would take me 5 minutes and look %100 better.

Your doing really good though!

Thanks guys. I'm having fun with it, and that's what matters to me most in this game.

I think the 4 things I'm going to work on the most for now is 1.depth of the layering of the picture to achieve a 3 dimentional looking environment, 2.better emotional content (be that content comedy, or any other form), 3.better realistic chopping (no blur marks, good color and light blending..) and 4.Seeing potential and making use of it.

Numbers 1 and 3 could really benefit from me investing in a good chopping software, but numbers 2 and 4 are really just about personal growth as a chop artist.
