"MoonPie" PurpleChiten

made this Avatar, he's tha "excrement"

Merely an amateur, but had a good idea on that one!

These guys are the experts, but we can all contribute a little when we have a flash of inspiration! :up;

lol

Photoshop does take a long time to learn but you can't do it timidly. You just needed dive in play with all the settings use layers, pen tool, play with layer styles and how they react to other layers....ETC. Be aware of color contrast as a sky blue background will tint additions to the image blue. If a person is standing in a wine cellar and you put him in an outdoor setting you need to correct the color cast of the man to match his surroundings. It's the little anal-retentive things that make a difference.

thank you. any tips on "green screening" in Photoshop ? I'm trying to take some pic's w/ greenscreen in the back & i'm not getting the "adding layers" part ...I know its a noob mistake but I'm trying to take the pic's to integrate them w/ Vegas pro for a new video I'm working on.

I'm sorry to say that I've never worked with any kind of greens screening photos.

Great thread guys. I think it's one of the more laid back friendly ones I've seen in a while. I'm about to call it for the night, but here's a quick one for dedpope (although it's not so "frozen"). Tomorrow [later] I'll post whatever I can (LadyJae's, etc).

If you recognize the backround and you know your Sheldon trivia this is hilarious, at least I thought it was making it. LOL

Anyone want to take a shot at this one for me? Perhaps with white robes with the red templar cross. Also, maybe swap out the crossbow with a sword. Not sure about the background, something runic or stonework maybe. Would also like the eyes to be changed to a green or teal colour.

This is another one I found, I like the background on it. I thought that could be incorporated somehow.

Wow, some great new designs since I last visited.....

The reference to the background of "Shellie's" avatar is going over my head, lol, and it's driving me crazy.....will someone explain it to me?

Posting some random photos for people to play with maybe help with ideas.

If anyone likes a photo we can adjust it for you.

It's "Sheldon" from big bang theory

DMV ?

reply to post by IpsissimusMagus


Those were all such great images...beautiful.......

I know who the character is, but what makes the background funny? I am missing what ever the Sheldon trivia is that makes it humorous.

Edit: Ohhhh ok, I get it now, he doesn't drive....duh.....lol

reply to post by MountainLaurel


He can't drive

It's the DMV

Its the TSA at the airport.

When he was five, a kid named Billy Sparks shoved a Mexican Peso up his nose, which has not yet been removed. (It takes Sheldon 45 minutes to get through airport security because of it.)

Oh OK,

I do remember that episode now.

Did you see the one where he makes everyone ride the train?
