Zebra Striped Disco

[AndyThoma]

You know really I have this sudden overwelming urge to allow these droids to pass, they really don't seem to be the ones I'm looking for ... I just can't explain why ...


As far as the critter stripes or spots on a disco ... I feel I need to add,...
poor little disco

How about fish scales? or snake skin?

I love it! but then again, people think I am crazy for driving a bright orange Disco with a blue stripe....

What you mean that I shouldn't quit my day job and become a graphics designer?

As long as it looks like this, you're stylin' :

Here ya go guys!

Jake, hope that looks like your green.

Jack, Low res image! that's the best I can do in the amount of time I felt like doing it.

P.S. Why do I fel like "Photoshop Bitch"?

 

[JSQ]

Thanks a lot.

Definitely a low quality image to work with but this helps.

I'm pretty sold on the white body and wheels with black bumpers, grill, fenders, roll bar and top.

 

[agro1]

I agree....That'll be one sweet lookin truck, Jack.

 

[Eric N.]

Thanks for the green and black photoshop job.. Doesn't look that bad but, it's just not for me.. You never know though.. I may fall down one day and hit my head really, really hard and zebra my truck.

 

[TNROVERS]

That Coniston is AWESOME!!

 

[stevenr]

Sorry

DOH!! Sorry Eric I was calling you Jake. I was lookin' at the wrong post. The Consiton isn't too bad, but just not the same as black & white

I've got a Willow D1 and once I pay for Moab next month, I'm buying some vinyl. That looked SWEET w/ black stripes.

 

[agro1]

Hey Shawn - how old are you and what do you do for a living ? LOL

 

[KevinNY]

Now to make it really accurate you need a really dark brown truck and white vinyl, zebra are actually not black. I tried to find a photo of a zebras rear end for you but the pattern comes together in a really cool way for each of the 2 main zebra species, burchells and hartmans.

Nice PS work man! I've never been good at changing the color of things like that.

Yummy!

Steve, is that the zebra you were riding at MAR last year?

Or was it the one with the overloaded roof rack?

...it was just a matter of selecting the areas with lasso tool (1 pixel feather) and upping the brightness and contrast so that I keep original shadows/hilights and reflections.

-Steven

Why not use the pen tool and draw a path(s) that you can save/reuse/edit? You can use the path(s) to create feathered selections. If you mess up on the lasso tool, you have to start over, right? Maybe you saved your selections as alpha channels? Looks top-notch, though. At work, I just had to crank out 5 ideas for a VW dealership's shuttle vehicles (Passat wagons). They're not near as convincing a Photoshop job as yours, but in my defense, I had to have them done quick

Go for it on the stripes. I'd use neon green and neon orange
