I don't look anything like Brad Pitt but I can assure I'm much nicer :p

Not very SUFC-related but I came up with this for another forum's Signature of the Week competition:

I like it! :)

Might use this as my new avatar

Phil

I like it. Love the text but not the best to use in an avatar though.

 

[Bielzibubz]

I agree. Not the best as it's not defined enough. A change is due me thinks.

Here's something I've been working on after doing Bobby's gig poster. Kinda tricky mastering the warp and wrap tools to get a texture to wrap around a stock image but you get the idea.

Anyway, that's enough for tonight....

That's why they introduced the 3D modelling functions in CS4!

 

[Bielzibubz]

I tried cs4 but my old laptop im using couldn't cope. Its kinda fun anyway getting to the nuts and bolts of image manipulation although its very time consuming. Something very satisfying about getting something right rather than the program doing it all for you.

 

[Bielzibubz]

Slightly altered the last one.

and this one I did for Bobby Greenberg.

Watched Lock Stock for the umpteenth time this afternoon and decided to have a go at something. Came up with this. Thoughts?

[sufc695]

Some of the stocks are low quality, but I still like it! :)

New, very quick avatar. Shall I use it?

EDIT: Hover to see it without grey border.

 

[Bielzibubz]

Yeah use it. Coulda sworn Shrek was green though ;)

 

[sufc695]

Been hoping to do a Macca one, but the site I get my good quality photos from doesn't have anything below top divisions of each major nation :(


Might do some image scouting later.

EDIT: Done a Lewis Hamilton signature. Too big for here, but I'll resize later.

 

[Bielzibubz]

I like that. Simple and clean.

I've been working on this. Fella at work asked me for something futuristic with a dark feel to it. It really was a case of trial and error with the tools and damn frustrating at times.

Needs more work in certain areas so I think I'll persist.

After playing Asylum on World at War and getting extremely frustrated at dieing all the time I threw the controller down and picked up my Bamboo tablet to calm down a bit. With the game still in my head I thought I'd have a go at setting a scene of my frustration and the setting of the game, ie an asylum and me pulling my hair out. Anyway, referring to a few tutorials and finding the stock images I put this together. Ghost effects are probably the hardest thing I've attempted so far. Multiple layer masks do my head in :D

This time I thought I'd have a go at a movie poster and after watching i'Robot AGAIN I decided to give that a go so after nicking, I mean buying :whistling: some stock images and manipulating them a little, adding some of my own touches such as the positioning, lighting, hue and blending etc I came up with this and ya know what, I'm genuinely quite pleased with it. :)

If only I could make a living doing this. Beats getting up at 4.30am every day that's for sure :D

 

[BrettieAngell]

They are both very good mate!

[Bielzibubz]
