Re: Challenge 278: Drive my jeep
Great ideas as always. Gordon - great idea, were the parts made in 3D? Not sure Gordon (Brown) is the right size, and yes I know; the flat tyre again, but the first one was a long time ago!  |

Re: Challenge 278: Drive my jeep
Thanks Deborah and others for your comments. The springs were made in Cinema but coloured in Photoshop. Everything else was Photoshop. I didn't have too much time to get this one done so there are a few things that I would have liked to have spent more time on. It was one of those images that, when I thought of it, I just had to get to the computer and do it! Lots of fun entries again from everyone.

Re: Challenge 278: Drive my jeep
Plenty of military action this week - excellent cutouts from everyone, and some beautiful interpretations. First into action was Jeepy, with a desert-based location and a group of soldiers who look like they come from a video game. I like the swirling sand and the shadows, and the way the wheels are buried it the sand. Good work. Clever work from jwhite, whose jeep is pushing through deep mud.Clearly, there must have been something else in this image originally to make the waves, but the jeep replaces it perfectly. Perhaps a touch more contrast on the jeep itself, to match the depth of shadow in the driver? A neat approach from Mark Goodwin, who has taken an earlier Challenge and used it as the basis for Prince Charles and his wife. The double yellow lines, indicating no-parking zones (do you have them in other countries?) are perhaps just a little too brash, but the figures Camilla is great. Charles seems to have lost his legs from the knees down, though. If I were really picky I'd mention the perspective of the jeep - from this high viewpoint, we should be looking down on the roof. A funny animation from tooquilos, which perhaps needs some explanation! The Stig is the test driver in the BBC motoring programme Top Gear, and he's famously never revealed his face (probably because, in my view, he's a series of different drivers). To have him unmasked as Sarkozy from last week's Challenge is a real treat! Sarkozy crops up again in maiden's entry, with a neat reworking of the Tom Hanks movie. The jeep fits in there neatly - I like the windscreen treatment - but would anyone go to all that trouble to rescue M le Président? I like the flag treatment in the second entry! A cool beach scene from vibeke, with the jeep ferrying holidaymakers to their destination. I like all the people draped around it, and especially the wheel tracks. But I'm going to have to pick you up on perspective: the jeep's clearly below the horizon, which means we should be looking down on its roof. Real ingenuity from GKB, who has stripped the wheels off the jeep - while effecting a perfect rebuild of the axles, wheel hubs and suspension. A seamless and beautiful job - even the bricks are well stacked. Fantastic work, Gordon - it really made me laugh. I recognise brewell's ruined building from a Challenge many months ago: to see it reappearing with the jeep, its driver, and the flock if geese is excellent. A really good idea, and a good execution. You need to watch the perspective, though, both for th roof of the jeep and the insides of the door and windows. A truly gorgeous rendering from LonnieK , with a stunning array of reflections and ripples. I don't know what you started with here, so I can't tell how many of the women's reflections you created: but the jeep reflection is an amazingly good piece of work, really well considered and perfectly executed. The ripples and distortions are superbly judged. And those are certainly very buoyant wheels! A bird's eye view from Jota120, whose jeep is being whisked away by an eagle. I like the idea here, but a couple of comments: why is the sky so desaturated, when the land leading to it isn't? Shouldn't the eagle have some motion blur in its wings? And why has the RAF switched from Land Rovers to Jeeps??? I like the muddiness of the second entry, but that jeep is so ethereal it appears to he fading away at the edges. Neat job of removing the roof, though. A beautiful night scene from vicho: the jeep has been toned perfectly to fit in with the dark surroundings, and that's a very good headlight splash on the ground. The lights themselves, though, are perhaps just a bit too yellow. Otherwise, this is a very convincing image! Oh, apart from the lack of a driver... An intriguing approach from drlasher, with a radio controlled jeep - now that's the cleverest way of avoiding the driver problem! Very good windshield treatment and a subtle aerial make the jeep look really good. The only thing you might want to address it eh hands: the flash glare on them is rather inconsistent with the subdued lighting of the background. I like the second entry - interesting speech bubble treatment! A typically moody, nightmare vision from laddition, with a stormy sky, cracked landscape and menacing crow. I like the way the driver has one foot on the ground outside - it highlights the sense of indecision. Good headlights! A subtle and perfectly realised entry from Luka, who has gone to some trouble to get the perspective of the background to match the jeep exactly - and that's what accounts for the striking realism of the whole scene. That, and the neatly rendered shadow. I like the extra touches - the personalised number plate, the sleeping cat, the new decal. Very professional work, Luka. A beautifully thought-out poster from darkdemon, who has integrated not just the jeep but a strikingly familiar soldier into the scene. The blending, the texture overlay an the composition all work together here: and the choice of typeface, with its subtle stroke and bullet graphic, makes for a very attractive title. Very good work! A touch of nostalgia from Nick Curtain, with Brains from Thunderbirds having stranded the jeep in sand. I like the appearance of Thunderbirds Two and Three in here (I know, I really must get out more) but I do feel the jeep could do with a bit of a shadow on our side... A muddy scene from Ben Mills, with the jeep mired in a complex construction scene: it's certainly well integrated into the image. The muddy windscreen is a good touch, but watch your layer masks - the front of the roof shouldn't be translucent! Good fitting on the driver, and a very consistent scene overall. The jeep and spitfires in james's entry flash past so quickly I had to watch this a dozen times to see it all - and even so it took me a while to notice the detail of the dropping cup and turning heads. Now that's one way to liven up a lonely country lane! A perfect flat tyre from Deborah Morley, in a political scene showing Gordon Brown in the wilderness in a borrowed vehicle... you know, sometimes I feel rather sorry for him. The best thing here is the fantastic treatment of the windscreen: just look at the way the wipers have cleared the grime from an arc on each side. Fantastic! A very striking background from gaoxiguo - where on earth is that? The sand churning around the jeep is beautifully created. But a jeep moving so fast could do with a driver! A neat cutout from Emil, with a subtle shadow and wheels nestling perfectly in the grass. Very good windscreen treatment, and a finely judged position on the horizon! More destruction and mayhem from michael sinclair - is that a VTOL jeep, or am I mistaking motion blur for jet propulsion? If this is an air show, it's one I'd like to have gone to! A subtle and beautifully executed montage from Paul 2007 - the toning, shadows and placement of the wheels are all perfect. Just a couple of details that could help here: the windscreen is just too clean, and needs some dirtying up. And you've chosen a shot with a lot of out of focus foliage at the front: if this could be brought in front of the jeep, it would really place it in its surroundings. Either that, or get rid of the stray grass altogether. |

Re: Challenge 278: Drive my jeep
Thanks Steve: It took me about six goes to find the right head for the body, and 20 seconds to do the windscreen! |
