What gets your creative juices flowing, how do you create a masterpiece?
Thats the one thing i have no idea about, i like most of us here look at an image at different angles and hope that an idea comes about, if not i seem to find that when a contest has already started and i look what others have done with the source image it seems to set off a spark and i get an idea.
What inspires you?
What inspires me!
Mmmmm i would have to say some of the great artists on this site, there are so many and i look up to them all.
Do you have a system? Does a chop have to be done a certain way following steps or are you a messy chopper and just go with the flow?
just go with the flow
What style of chop do you prefer to create?
I actually prefer fantasy, but if you dont get an idea then forget it.
But i do like realism, its hard to get it right but when you do its great.
Filters, brushes and techniques: Which do you use, and not use, and why?
I'll use what ever i feel like using at the time
When do you know that you have it just right, or is it constant changes up until, or after, you post?
To be honest i'm never completely happy until the very end
What is the limit to what you will chop?
Blood is ok, but religion i try to stay away from, i'm not here to upset anyone and thats a sure way to do just that
Are there any tips and/or tricks that you would like to pass along to less experienced choppers?
What is your favorite type of source image, and why?
Be aware of sharp edges on objects, put a 1 or 2 pixel feather on all edges and it will help it to blend in better.
There is often talk about how the source is used and to what extent it should be. What are your views on all sources, outside source use and animations?
As long as you can see that some of the source has been used then thats ok, i'm not sure about chops where you cant tell if the source was used or not.
As for animations, i love em and there is a place for them here.
What is your preferred resource for outside source images?
Google images
In your opinion what makes a good chop?
Do you have a system to get things started?
Have you ever completed a chop and then decided not to enter it in the contest? If so, why?
After you finish your chop do you just post it or seek opinions of family and/or fellow choppers first?
If some one finds a fault in your work do you change it or stay with what you posted?
What qualities do you look for when deciding to vote on a chop?
Some member prefer not to vote for filtered chops or animations. Is there any particular style/type of chop you won't vote for?
Time is always a factor, how much time do you spend on a chop and how much time is too much?
We all love to get votes. Now are you a constant vote checker or do you just let it go and check once a day? (be honest)
