ATC's WIP Thread ('fun' inside :/)

Been suffering from chopper's block recently.. don't seem to be able to finish anything...
So was hoping you guys could help me out with it?
>What should I finish and what should I scrap?<
>What should I finish first?<


And here are the wips:
1) This one's for the stance comp. So far all the new paint is brushed... was really happy with it and going well. Then lost all motivation when nordic said it looked like a turd :/. Now when ever I open it I just see it as a horrible brown turd :/ Don't know if i can be bothered to finish. Any tips?

2) An old wip. Once again all new paint is brushed. Struggled to find a new bg for ages, now 6 months on I've finally got one... but again - no motivation to complete :/

3) Woo a civic! XD Getting on for a year old now. Paint is fully brushed - my first attempt at matte. It's almost finished, but i'm not satisfied with the windscreen, windows or backdrop. I just can't make it look right :(

4) Wanted to create something epic... just got bored of the brushing and with a lack of reference I was really struggling. Debating whether to give this up altogether?

5) Same as above really. After the impreza failed, i thought i'd try with this miata. It was going well, but I'm not sure where to take the styling, or how to make it look shiny again :/

6) No brush so far, but it's not copy and paste either. Compare the reflections to the base picture. You'll notice they're identical save for the colour. Brushing random colours on a new layer and playing with layer properties achieved this effect. I really want to finish this, but I can't find a good bg :( Any help?

7) Finally - the supra comp. Not much done. Don't know if it's got potential. What do you reckon?

Any feedback is much appreciated, but what i really want to know is what, if any, should i finish?

if the bmw is a turd, then i'd gladly be a coprophilic (yay for overstatements). really, looks awesome, love that colour on e46's, just make it a bit more glossy

well, the civic is not up to your standards i guess, but as a year old wip i can understand :S

love the s2k as well, just use an almost empty bg, i'll show what i mean later (i'm on uni atm)

the atmosphere on the subaru is great aswell, would be nice to see the lighting effects when it's done

the supra idk, it's a supra so it obviously has potential, but so far i doesn't look outstanding

sooooo
do: bmw, s2k, subaru
quicky finish: civic
ditch/save for later: mx5(maybe a new bk would do the trick), supra, silvia(not really feeling the light reflections for now)

just my opinion
