I have a new found respect for you choppers its not easy Im trying to teach myself how to do it by trial and error using Gimp 2 and microsoft paint I know this looks kinda korney but its my first attempt If anyone have some pointers to share with me im all ears.

 

That actually looks really good, '05.
Especially with not having photoshop, if you can I would try to adjust the colors of your car's layer, so that it flows better with the background. I've never used Gimp so I'm not sure, how to adjust the colors of a layer in there.

 

your totally right ill give it a try I think this looks a little better plus I threw in a supernova just for the hell of it

 

That does look much better.
The ground is the only thing that really sticks out, but it still looks really good.
