no doubt it is.

i would be interested in how you did that if you would'nt mind teaching or pointing to a tutorial that got you there. it is amazing.

I smell a new theme... Lizzy Gobbo Poker Porn! (epic thread about to be locked )

Thanks. It took some trial and error. A lot of it was copying and pasting pieces of the Wynn lettering. I copied "Wynn" to a new layer, and I would rotate it until I got pieces in the shape I needed to make a new letter or part of a letter. The last "n" and period are of course directly from "Wynn". The "e" was sort of free handed using the main letter color then copying the edges from other letters to make it look natural. The "y" was used almost as is from "Wynn" except the loop had to change to connect to the "e". The "u" is just an upside down "n" (which ends up looking about the same anyway). The "g" was a slightly modified "y" from "Wynn". The "N" was the hardest just to figure out how it should look, and I still think it could be better. After a couple of failed attempts, I freehanded how I thought it should look and copied pieces of other letters onto it once I got the main shape.

Of course the pieces of all the letters don't fit perfectly neatly together, so I used the color picker, pencil and a lot of Gaussian blend to smooth out the colors. I use a free program called Paint.net. I'm not sure what Photoshop calls its blends and other tools.

Not sure if that's what you're looking for. Feel free to PM me. I'm glad to share whatever I can because I can learn even more from you guys.

I was thinking I might have been bordering on a ban with that one, but I thought I'd try it. I didn't think about getting a great thread locked (but I should have!). That's about as far as I'm going to go with that theme, although I have a lot of other good stills of Lizzy making various other interesting faces. Maybe I'll have to do one more!

Cooking up a good one... will post it later today.

thanks a lot for that. i have cut and pasted a lot for pictures, but i would have never thought about doing it for lettering. it turned out great. i will have to give that some practice. thanks again.

- very LOL!

Looks like Lizzy's in play (the new Gobbo?)! (still working on mine... internet went down )

A classic "it's so dumb it's good" post from the Synch!

Oh Lizzy just got a lot hotter with these last few posts...

ROFLMAO
OMG this post was incredible

Both are done. Not sure which pages though.

I'm currently writing an article for Poker Pro Mag where I mention this thread. If you are a contributor that wants a photo published, please PM me with a submission of your best work. Please only one image per contributor. The best will be submitted for publication in the magazine and entries will be featured in a corresponding post on my blog.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Wed. 9/24

What about the TJ Cookier thread???

Haha that's great

Dear God, please never let this thread die

It took me the looongest time to figure out that was Cunningham, he looks so totally different with hair. I can actually see why men get hair plugs now

Super Cool! You definetly have to update the thread and let us know what month your article will be published in! You will probably get a few thousand sales just because of it.

lool

Wouldn't you need better resolution images to actually print them in a magazine? I don't think Jpegs will do.

But I'll send you my Doyle "NBA Hall Of Fame" pic.


Thanks for spreading the good word

Anyone who values their digital art, should never save their work as JPGs, IMO.

PNG > JPG

Fozzy, plz explain this to the folks over at Google Images where we all pilfer our source material from

Amen to that. Would be so much nicer if all web images were PNG,... but JPG was a necessary evil back in '97 when I had a 56k connection.
