Is there a particular style you want it in? Something similar to the last few wallpapers, or are you looking for something completely different?

Plowking amazing stuff you've done I've said at least 8 of these up to this point. You should start up your own site and sell them(unless of course you like the idea of doing it for free Im just saying you could make a pretty penny of these).

Could I get a Tyrus and Rose one? Like Tyrus going up for a dunk and Rose just being in the picture somehow. I don't really care how. Basically I'd just take a Tyrus and Rose one. Much thanks!

Nice work Josh. Just a bit of advice, watch your cutting of images. See on Jameer's left hand near the ball how there are remains of the previous background? I had trouble with that when starting as well. Now when I'm cutting an image of a player, I cut slightly inside the outline of the player, so that it assures no background from the previous pic is carried in.

Thanks for the advice! Another question.... I am using GIMP, free version of Photoshop so hopefully the tools are the same... Anyways do you shrink or feather the selection after you cut it out?

Nene plzzz
and a Ty Lawson one with a nuggets sign in it

[Quizno]

thanks dude! and that larry bird one is awesome too

I prefer to feather, although you can just download player cutouts from certain sites. Try this site http://www.o2designz.com/cutgallery.php?cat=5&subcat=134

You have all the teams on the right hand side with certain players available. There are a few more sites, though they don't provide nearly as many as o2 do. So yeah, if you use these cutouts, there isn't a need to feather unless you are wanting the image to blend in a lot more.


BTW guys, I'll get to all the requests.

Sure thing. I'm guessing you want a Nets VC one? Or it doesn't matter?

Nets would be nice, but I'm fine if you go with Toronto.

What do you think plowking?

[plowking]

I'm liking it man. Really clean and straightforward, which is how I like my wallpapers.

Made any other ones? BTW, start taking some requests, and you'll be able to find out even more effects in photoshop. It's good fun if you want to keep getting better at it.

Thanks! I just made a new thread, so now you have competition :D. I'm thinking of doing a course in graphic design next year so this should be good practice for it.
