I Chopped up my 8!!

I've searched hi and lo, but have not seen any kind of official photoshop thread here on 8club

Hoping to stir a little mouse-and-tablet action around here, i present to you.... my newly remodelled 8



still a work in progress, for sure. And ill prolly redo the whole thing once my appearance package comes in, but its a start!

Anyone else????

ummm... yeah hi: the fenders are the most distinctive thing about the 8's body style. its all like a hammerhead shark n ****! Thats what you do when you caricature: find the distinctive features and take em up to 11.

ill work on the roof bulge and straighten the body out some, although in my opinion, the rounder and more exaggerrated, the more successful the cartoony look. and here i thought i was only gonna get crap for how the line between the hood and front bumper is all wavy and out of perspective

other examples (not my own, of course)

Thats actually not a bad idea, though it may look kind of tacky.

LOL, nice one dude =) I think you might have deformed the body too much, it's starting to look like a vette in the front. Wish I had more time, I'd play around with some ideas too.

Good Job man!
