So another go at the challenge...

[mrscopterdoc]

I wasn't sure if these sigs would work for the challenge....they are B&W with just one color....and just one pic just flipped and sized. Made three different versions because I wasn't sure what 'counted'

Spoiler:

[bailey1ak]

Those are wonderful, Copter. Love the first two especially.

[mrscopterdoc]

thanks bailey. I am having serious issues with trying to make the eye color stand out. I think with this pic it was so hard because there was a light flare in the eye, and coloring that made it look off, and not coloring it made it look off also So I gave up. I think maybe a better pic of the eye might help me some.

Loving all the challenge submissions so far, especially that green Jack one you did, Sy.


My first attempt at the challenge...

That turned out great!

Great Sharp Dressed Man siggies everyone! And thanks Maneth for compiling all of them!


@IcarusAbides: Love the (Sharp Dressed) Bobby sig! So happy he got some love here.

@Shaviva: That eye color tut...do you still know where it is?

@Anyone who can help: If not, can someone help me with enhancing eye color with Gimp?



Oh yay!


Thank you.


OMG! Amazing! And...MW!!!


Ooooh, great job! Very nice!


Love it Jumble!


*gasps* Really? Lucky duck!

Thank you! He is such an easy subject.

After seeing superb Jumble's effort earlier with the gradient colouring I decided to play around a bit and came up with this.

Wow that is great!

I don't know what others do, but I can tell you what I did to enhance the eye color in this siggie.....

Spoiler:

First, I positioned and erased the part of the pic I wanted. Then, down at the bottom of the work area for the siggie, I zoomed in to 400%. I set my paintbrush mode to Soft Light, set the brush size to Fuzzy Brush and whatever size I needed for the area I worked on. Then, I just used the paintbrush with a color blue over the colored area of his eyes. It might be different for the b&w look, though I use the same exact method for color splash.

Hope that helps and makes sense. If not, PM me.

That's what I do, just a very slight different order.

You can always play with the color levels for the eyes, too (if you're doing a black and white w/ the eyes colored).

One for the Challenge:

I am enjoying this challenge!

Amazing!

Wonderful job Icarus and Ladygris

Here's my attempt on this weeks challenge.

Awesome!

Glad you like it, I was going to use him for sharp dressed man but I didn't have time after making the other three.

EDIT-

Been playing around some more with gradients and came up with this.

Wow that is amazing!

So another go at the challenge...

Very, very nice!

I wasn't sure if these sigs would work for the challenge....they are B&W with just one color....and just one pic just flipped and sized. Made three different versions because I wasn't sure what 'counted'

Copter, those are fabulous! I really like the second one.

[IcarusAbides]

That turned out beautifullly. Love that it is just some of the flames that the gradient hits.

Thanks, I'm really happy with it and I'm going to make a sig along the same lines to go with it.

Also I really liked your Neil Caffrey sig, the eyes are brilliant.

Oh, Sharp Dressed Demon! Hope you find the time to make it at some point. But if you don't, I'll make it!


Very nice with the gradient. I like!


I'm working on another B+W w/one color sig...

I am definitely going to make a crowley sharp dressed demon sig but I would also love to see your take on it

I wasn't sure if these sigs would work for the challenge....they are B&W with just one color....and just one pic just flipped and sized. Made three different versions because I wasn't sure what 'counted'

Again these are quality, I really like the second one.

Wow that is great!

Wow that is amazing!

Thank you I'm happy you liked them both

I'm still falling hard for Jensen.

Nothing wrong with that. He is a very nice choice!

Oh, he definitely is!


Anyone know how to download a texture to Gimp? Or, are textures only for PS?

Download and extract the texture if it needs extracting.

Place them in GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\patterns

They should be there in patterns next time you open gimp.

Wonderful job Luvnjack, Icarus, Bailey and Copter!!!

I don't know some of them, but they still look awesome!!

And thank you DJ!


Here's one more for the night.

Did an avatar just to finish off the collection:

Thank you. Wasn't sure where it went, if patterns was the right place. Now I know. Oh, and I don't have to re-open Gimp for the textures to show up...I just click the refresh button and VOILA!



Okay...here's #2 for the challenge...



...I used that snazzy Sketch Block font that *someone* linked to. Sorry, can't remember who now.
