first i took the original image and scaled it up to 400dpi with the genuine fractals plugin for photoshop, resulting in an image with resolution of 4000something by 3000something, i used transform in scale mode to get it down to appropriate size for the template and place him so his hand is near the joystick hole and his face doesn’t get covered by a button.
then I used quick mask mode and the gradient tool and paint bucket to make it darken gradually towards the edge. (quick mask is hard to describe without visuals. basically it lets you use any of the tools you see in the tool palette for making selections, so you could paint with the brush or make a gradient and when you exit quick mask the area you painted will be a selection rather than colors on your image.)
then i cloned his left leg and played around with the transform tool and eraser to make it sort of look like his right leg since it’s cut off in the original art. Did the same with the blue background lightning. I copied one bit from the top of the image and turned it until it looked like an extension of the bit that ends behind him in a fork and then i grabbed a piece of the blue lighting from under his crotch (no homo) and did the same for the lower prong. I played around with the eraser and the black gradient to hide the ugly bits of it.
Could anyone please make a SE template fo me out of this picture. I know its
not that big but i just want the S Shield around thw stick so the rest of the picture could just be white. I would do it myself but i have no idea how. This is my first time doing anything like this and i really want it to turn out nice.
I’ll even be willing to pay someone if they do a really nice job:lovin:
cool…that’s nice job. I’ll try and figure that out. I’m new to photoshop and just trying to get things done a little at a time. Appreciate the work. Hope you like my mockup… It’s almost close.
This is really very awesome. :clapdos: You didn’t happen to make one without the layer for the button holes for use with skeleton buttons did you? If not it’s cool. Just curious…
i’m uploading the template right now in psd format with all the layers intact you should be able to see what i did by turning them on and off. i’ll edit this post when the 22mb upload is done.
Im looking to turn this photo into a TE template but I have no photoshop experience. Also the only example I have of the photo is pretty small if anyone has a higher res example of the same photo I would be really grateful. I could use some help turning it into a template. I was thinking of maybe rotating the background 90degrees and putting the foxhound crest in the corner or something
Can I get some suggestions on my template for my custom stick? I’m still not finished with it and I would like to hear from you guys to improve my stick art. Any suggestions?
