Image editing

I could still use the help. This is about the limit of my ability. for the coloration above, i made a layer, tiled a sparkly candy apple red image then applied an image mask to that layer to only show the section i painted and applied some transparency. For the gray, same as above, but desaturated the tiled red layer.

the steampunk was a simple cut, paste, and rotate, and certainly not the final way I'd want it to look. Just a quick hack job to get the idea.

Well, I'm pretty good at basic photo editing stuff. I use Corel Photoshop Pro.

I REALLY like you gears and clockworks added to the side panel! That seems to me to pretty much tell the story! :2thumbs: :firstplace:

Very nice

I Love the gears and clockwork!!

Now, should I do a wrap... Or get a transparent side panel and put a inch or REAL gears behind it, connected to a small motor so they all actually turn and stuff? :joke:

 

[Spyder777]

Real gears

My vote is for a clear side panel with working gears behind it.

:shocked: If it was me... I'd be happy with the wrap! :thumbup:

wife thinks the clockwork is cool. but is too steampunk for my geeky bike.

The real gears would be cool and a great talking point, but a little involved to pull off.

The gear warp look nice, I bet that would look really nice on a lava bronze spyder with all the silver and brass colors.

wish I could find something I'm really happy with that doesn't involve a ton of painting.

I do find it funny that my wife thinks "steampunk" isnt "geeky" enough.

Thinking outside of the box often gives you the perspective you need to find the answers. :thumbup:
You're certainly showing the imagination that you'll need to get the job done!

One thing I have discovered is that there is a huge assortment of colors that looks great as a solid color on the Spyder.

Really nice work!!!I'd buy a version of the steampunk in a second!!!:2thumbs:

I'm using Arc Photostudio 6 software,it's pretty good stuff.

Here's a program that runs on the Windows platform, and may be adequate.
