Mercifull Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Mmmkay so its not pixel but its the only way to get people to even click onto this topic... :( I dont know if anyone is aware of the Best of Blur CD but i wanted to make myself look like it. So i opened up photoshop and had a play. 17 layers all brushing and lines no filters ^_^ Its a bit rough but my mouse is rubbish and i dont have a tablet. What do people think?

Ryan Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Looks good :), but the bg is a little to vibrant and the lines are too thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 lol, that's quite nice actually, but the shadow on the big black line makes it look like the head is floating above the rest of the background :P heh, you should take out one of the guys on the original pic and then put your face there :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punc Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 You should have made the shirtoutline the same size as the face outline, because now there's someting weird with it :? The hair and glasses are cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Things to fix Take off shadow from neck Increase shirt line thinkness Make expression look a bit less evil (change mouth line) Change to more neutral bg ?

Greatsilverwyrm Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Nice.. Suggestions: kill the shadow under your head. clean up the lines on your ear. as Ryan said, the bg is too vibrant, I think. and make the lines on your shirt thicker those are some realatively small things, though, so, very good job :D EDIT: also, I think you should give yourself a little line that shows your lower-lip, as your inspiration did.

Chaosbringer Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Quite impressive Matt, you should perhaps make the lens on the glasses a tad bit whiter, well thats just my opinion atleast, or darker, in the middle range just doesn't look right to me. Excellent work! ~Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah you're right about the glasses but i did them a really stupid way. The lenses should really be a different layer to the frames. I'll remember this for next time. I'm trying to find a pic of me that I like to do another one lol.

Ape Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Tidy.... And regarding to one of the first posters: The background gives it that extra bit.... I like it. At Matt, gimme' a pic of you over MSN, I'll do one in Paint. :P -Mitch- EDIT: I started work on Jake Gyllenhaal (I asked Matt for a picture of him, but he said to do this guy, so I did) Instead of brushing, I decided to work ona bit of line art in MS Paint, first: After I finish with that, I'll attempt to shade it. Could be a little difficult, though. A little C&C would be appreciated, too. (Sorry for asking it on your thread, Matt) -Mitch- New sig to come!

I got a little moody after I kept messing up on the mouth, so I left it. :P Maybe I'll have another go tomorrow. I just got a picture off Rick, too... It'll be good to see if I can get that done by the end of tomorrow. He got cool hair which will be interesting to sketch. -Mitch- New sig to come!

Exarch Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Here is my cut.. I added noise & blurred the background because the background in the album cover pic has artifacts/inconsistencies in it :P I'm guessing it's not supposed to be that way though.
