Not shopped, thats just because cameras will show areas with high contrast and sharp edges as pixely. You can say that the orange sticker on the left (w/e it is) is also pixely. And it isn't that hard to do, just use a blueprint and regular white stickers.
pixely? who needs pixely to see that its a shop? Its 100% pure white, unaffected by light or shadow. This couldn't be more than a 30 second shop job. mspaint ftw.
comment #17248 It's not actually pure white. The white in the sticker varies from between about DDD to about FFF. While this is fairly close, the entire back of the truck seems to be in fairly standard light, so I don't see why the white would change due to light or shadow when there aren't any extra lights or shadows. And there is still a range of whites in the picture, although not a big one, and admittedly one that could be explained by saving the picture into jpeg.
I'm not saying that this isn't a shop, I'm just saying that there's fairly little evidence either way.
I'd say the biggest pro-shop point is that it doesn't follow windshield's curve like the other stickers do. Compare the yellow one, for instance, which is slightly skewed along the Z axis, whilst Tsuruya's is completely upright.
comment #17291 he meant that we're not looking dead on at the window, but at an angle. The real stickers follow the window's perspective, and the painfully obvious shop-job doesn't.
comment #17298 But notice how distorted it is nevertheless, much narrower and with different proportions. The original (ie, perspective-shot) matches what you can see on the comics, whilst the de-perspectived one (which roughly matches a hypothetical straight shot) is distorted. It should be the opposite if it wasn't a shop.
comment #17373 So go do that, and take a pic of it. Then you'll see why this is a shop. No one has said that you're wrong, just that this here is a blatant and painfully obvious shop.
Guys, can I just mention something here, even though it's long after the original argument. The source is there for this picture. Now, if you actually go to it, you find that it's from the seneka blog, and that this picture is one of many from a car art event. It is not a shop, it is actually one of the many many cars that was at the event. I realize not everyone reads Japanese, and so the text might not mean anything to most of you, but the picture is in fact perfectly legitimate. This truck does in fact exist.
comment #45991 Yup, olde seneka shopped a pic and put it on his blog. If you think this is a real sticker, I suggest you stay inside a padded room because the real world WILL hurt you.
Ahha, well, whatever, but since I can actually read Japanese and see that there are in fact other pictures of the truck on the site. It's not that hard to make something like that. And I assume the truck was a sort of joke entry to the event. And if you're this much of an asshole in real life, I feel sorry for anyone that's ever met you. What are you, 12?
Hey, Goda, back down. Asking people to investigate shit based on information given in that tags? What kind of Nazi are you? Around here we yell shop whenever we goddamn please, tags are just there for indexing fap material.
Considering his response to my well-worded explanation of why it wasn't a shop included "If you think this is a real sticker, I suggest you stay inside a padded room because the real world WILL hurt you." I don't think my response was at all out of line. I'm not asking anyone to investigate anything. I posted *correct* information and was attacked for it. Besides. Who said anything about tags? I don't even look at the damned things most of the time. I was referring to the argument as to whether it was a shop or not.
