[audtatious]

Looks better with the blue wheels

I kinda put a small fade on the front if you notice...

[audtatious]

The dark charcoal looks much better on that car.

Lack of participation = FAIL

[TurboSauce]

PS Is hard.

[audtatious]

That's why I gave peeps over a week

[audtatious]

Now I see why we dont do them anymore

too bad the votings not more visible. ive played a time or two, and the only way to really know how your hard work was received is to win. the consolation prize is "meh. tough luck." be nice to atleast be able to tell how the competitions goin. im sure its not just that easy, but it'd make it more interesting to me as both a spectator and a participant.

visible voting all the way to the deadline would make it seem more like a competition & less like a lottery.

The problem I have seen with online forums is that more popular people usually win. Another issue, even with the staff voting, is lack of understanding what the person did or the effort put forth. As I play with photoshop every day I can tell how much effort was put forth. To me, a detailed and clean chop is worth more than a bling bling chop. Others don't vote that way.

From a "don't win anything" perspective, when you only have 5 or less people actually spending time with an honest chop it's difficult to send out multiple prizes. I don't get anything for the time I spend doing photoshop work either. That's fine because it's the challenge and accomplishment that I like more than getting a shirt/calendar/whatever. But that's me.

Regardless, I'll consider some other voting method and discuss with staff.

The lack of participation largely comes from little Photoshop experience. Emphasizing that you favor professional detail only serves to further discourage. Some people may put a lot of creative effort into this but don't necessarily have the skill to do so. You really do need to be clear about how these are being judged... the concept or the product?

[audtatious]

Except I don't vote so it's moot. The staff all have their own viewpoints.

Some very nice entries in this contest. Thanks for the eye-candy, folks!

At the risk of stating the obvious, though, it's pretty sad that Nissan's new hotness vehicle has to be Photoshopped to look good.

[audtatious]

I dunno, I saw one the other day and for what it is I thought it looked pretty cool. It's not like an aztek.

[IBCoupe]

I liked the Juke when I saw one in real life, except for the fact that it needs to be dropped.

That or more aggressive off-road style rim/tire package

[IBCoupe]

True. That'd be nice. Right now, it's kinda in car-limbo.

It's aimed to a inner-city/suburban youth demographic so it's setup as it is.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

And yet all of them are being sold to old people that want a car that is easy to get in and out of, that don't need the space to cart around 6 kids any more. Go figure.

[mrodrig2]

The Juke reminds me of a MicroMachines/Hot Wheels car so I slapped this crap together.

My inner-yuppie loves it.

I'll probably get that when I accidentally get the new wife pregnant.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

accidentally get the new wife pregnant.

I hate it when that happens.

Cataracts are also a big help in their purchasing decision.

[S133P3R]

prize or not,
WHO WINS!?

ps, my car is reverse engineered. or engineered in reverse. vice versa.

[audtatious]

I will announce later tonight. I think we have a winner at this point but there are some more votes to be had.
