Hey guys, I feel like cartooning a few cars in the next few days. I recently got Photoshop CS2 and am just trying to get a grip on how it works. Keep in mind I am by far from an expert since I've only had it a few days, so bear with me.

I'll take the first five people to post their cars on this thread and I'll manipulate it into a tooned car. It takes a little time to do a decent job so give me a little while.

The first one I did is a purple 69 belonging to Redfox here on TC. On his car I didn't do any kind of color work or shadowing, so it's real basic. The second one is of my personal 90' Chevy truck. I have one of my 69 as well, but I havent quite figured out how to edit out the grass on the tires.

A quick note, if you post a picture, make sure it's a clean, high resoluton picture taken 90 to 45 degrees from the side of the car. Keep in mind, the bigger the better.

Also, if you Photoshop gurus can give me a few tips, please chime in.

Thanks,

Joe

Before and after.....

Rick, took about an hour. I didn't spend any time on the background thru the glass. I found out that takes some time and figureing out....which I need lots of. Whatcha think?.............

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa282/Kokamo44/camaro67PS.jpg

Andrew, I'll start on your car tonight, but most likely won't finish till tomorrow.

Kyle.....the black wheels are gonna be hard to make look good, but I'll give it a shot.

Joe

Lookin pretty good Joe! See what you can do with this one...

You really want to see what "cartooning" does to that view down the leg of your shorts?

That is so cool. will you do mine? let me know I will post it.

Oh, you mean make the body smaller and the wheels bigger!? LOL!

Andrew.....here is yours. I can change the background color if you want it other than gray. I can also take off the lettering.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa282/Kokamo44/X33D80PS.jpg

Hey guys, I'll get to all of yours as soon as I can. I have my hands full as of now....lol... Gotta go to work tomorrow so it'll be a little bit. I'll try and get a few more tomorrow night.

Thanks guys!

Joe

Nice job - looks good.

That's nice! I realized when selecting a photo that I didn't have a recent side shot of the car finished with the wheel well trim, the interior finished (both front seats showing) and the front bumper attached. Knowing that the "tooning" would distort everything I figured it would still look good, and it does.

Thank you,
Andrew

Joe,
These are so cool! If you have time, here is mine. If not, no biggie!!

Lol! Thanks......but thing is, I'm not all that good at this just yet. I saw some others of trucks on another forum and some of those guys are ridiculous.

But I'm tryin'!:D:D:D

Joe

Russ.....I didn't have time to do any textwork, I might get to that later on, I spent most of my time editing out the reflection of the yellow stripe on the door. How about this?................

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa282/Kokamo44/Blown69RS.jpg

excellent work Joe. You're "just learning" to do this?? I do a lot of work with Photoshop, so I know the amount of effort just to isolate the car from the background.... thanks much!!:beers:

Joe...... now you got me playing with the program too. Nothing like wasting hours sitting around playing on the computer.:noway:

A few more cars to go and I'll be caught up.

JOe;)

You know, I can toon a piano. But I cant toon a fish:yes:

I know this is kinda an old thread, but I still play with it every so often.

Here is a real quick one of my 69 Camaro. I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it. It could use some color work, some shadows and do something else with the wheels...... and then my best one so far....my buddies 2010 Camaro SS.......

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa282/Kokamo44/Toon%20Cars/IMG_4620copy.jpg

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa282/Kokamo44/Toon%20Cars/Tommytoon.jpg

Just looking at the 2010 Camaro makes the first ones in this thread look silly as hell.

Oh well, thats what happens when you learn how things work, and I still need to learn alot.

Thanks for your time guys,

~Joe

Joe.......If you want to "toon" my Pro Street '69 here it is. I wonder how the ghost flames would look "toon" style.......

Thats pretty cool, I really like the way the pick-up looks tooned out.

Hey heres one, it's project but what the heck if you got the time.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/cruiser_ss350/67%20Resto/DSCF2023.jpg

Another view, like I said project so you can have some fun. It's going to be two tone the base color it is now and gloss black on the top of the body line.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/cruiser_ss350/67%20Resto/DSCF2020.jpg

Two tone is like this but black on top and my Prowler orange on the bottom. Would be intresting see what you come up with.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/cruiser_ss350/gmp13024_1.jpg

David F: Can't say for sure from that angle, but I think your grille emblem is upside down :yes:

I just had to give this a try with my car after seeing the other cars. I've never attempted anything liek this before so my didn't come out as "cartoonish" as the others. I gave mine the muscle machine look. LOL. I'll probably give it another try when I have some time.

And people said my motor was too big for the car before... LOL

How's it look??

Ok guys, I'm still here. been kinda busy. A family members' transmission went out and I have been using my time to fix the damn thing. Of all cars, it has to be a ******* Isuzu Rodeo......with a T5 Borg Warner. Been thru 2 trannys from the salvage yard and now I have to pull it for the 3rd time. I'm juuuust about tired of this crap.

Stay "tooned" guys, I'll get em done.....just gimmie a bit.

Thanks guys,

~Joe
