    I do like that but would you want driving lessons from someone who is essentially calling you a monkey 😀

    Hi
    I’m hoping he meant pass for £500 but he could have a problem with his customers!

    Good graphic.
    But looks like the car must have been adapted to be driven by a disabled person, as the monkeys feet dont reach the pedals, so maybe if it could be taken the wrong way,

    Brilliant – well done 😀

    So how did you go about creating that effect?

    Hi Phill

    Thanks again for posting your bath tub car – I mentioned this effect to the customer and hence thats how the job came about.

    First off we did some HDR photography of the car inners with the front door open – recombined them in Photoshop to get an evenly lit interior, otherwise there was too much shadow. I’ve attached the 3 images shadows, mid tones and highlights. Then after recombining them we skewed them to make the image more ‘straight on’ rather than at an angle because of the door.

    We found the attached image of the monkey on a motorbike on Google images. Then some more Photoshop work to put them together and change the monkey colour as the black/grey monkey in the original didn’t stand out enough.

    Finally we just had to find a severed human head to prop up on the drivers seat to line up with the print when the door was closed, this was the hardest bit!

    Cheers
    Macky
