Hey, gonna put my first stick together soon and I have been messing with photoshop to get some art ready.
I am not a expert…as you can tell. Any opinions on what I could do to the right side. It feels a little blank, but the image of Ryu and Ken doesn’t have a transparent background and I am having problems trying to erase it all without screwing up the picture.
The ink splatter on the right was taken from Nikos stick * thanks for the idea :)*
You say the centre looks bland but if you think about when you use the stick your hand will cover up Ryu, so why not move them into the centre, then have the faded stripes on both sides.
Cut them out with the polygonal lasso to cut them out not the eraser
Either he resized that thing or Firefox zoom feature went nuts yesterday cause it was humongous when I 1st opened the thread, my screen is just an old 24" BenQ.
It looks high res so it should be fine for printing.
Although to be honest I don’t think the red banner matches very well with Abel’s colours and not to mention the whole design-style of Abel is different than the background. The whole image just doesn’t flow in my opinion.
Try stylizing the red banner to look more like Abel’s ‘dingy black shadowy’ look if you know what I mean.
I took this to kinkos to see how it printed and I am kind of disappointed. Ken’s outfit is almost black and the blue bar is basically purple. Do you guys tell Kinkos to pint at a certain setting or something?
Gonna change it to a lighter blue and try printing it again tomorrow.
I like the new one with Ken the best, although I would of made the cast shot bigger its such a awesome image deserves more attention. Also the font you used is rather bland being just white on black, I would suggest squashing it about 75% of the original height and then increase the spacing between each letter.
