not perfect...
HELLO! I actually just got a copy of photoshop while visiting my wife's family at Thanksgiving...I had not installed it on my computer until I saw the 'MATER' photoshop by 'bdubsee', and now I am addicted to photoshop...please forgive the amateur look to this, as it is my first project & I am just kind of learning as I go!

That's a terrific first effort Jeremy. You may not have the controls down yet but you have good eye for making it look 'right'. On the eyes, you may want to try reducing the opacity to 85% (in the layers box) and reduce the brightness a bit (Image->Adjustments->Brightness/Contrast). Again, great work!

I was just thinking...If you were to take the "eyes" and make them into one of those "sun blocker things" you put in the windshield. You could probabally make a ton of cash....lol....It would have a lot more character than most of the ones I've seen, plus it's universal so it would work for pretty much any car and appeal to a wide variety of people.....Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud again and no hi-jacking intended....Regards....
I also think that I've seen them at Target stores as well.

Thanks 'bdubsee', and thanks for starting this thread. I had wanted to get into photoshop but couldn't think of a project to work on...until I saw your Mater HHR! Now I am addicted to it and I am still determined to get Mater's mouth on my ride.
I must say you are very talented, because Mater's mouth is a much harder one to blend as perfectly as you have!

Tip: before you copy Mater's mouth, use the smudge tool all around his mouth (use a larger brush around the outside of the mouth and a smaller one for the lips). This will smooth out the rust and make the surface more even so that you adjust the color and blend it. Also, try the Filter -> Liquify command to push around the shapes and colors - I used this to fill the hole below the front bumper.
