What do you mean stock? Manipulated stock photos?
yea lol.a LOT of my recent stuff is all stock work.
-
Also if anyone can give me any advice on how to start making these with practice that would be phenomenal. Thanks alot.
Tutorials, tutorials, and more tutorials. They're free, and they teach a lot. After you get some ideas about how to make effects, start experimenting.
Sites to get you started:
psdtuts.com (perhaps a bit advanced)
photoshopstar.com
pshero.com
Also, my Photoshop life changed forever one I learned how to use the pen tool. If you don't know, I would definitely suggest googling a tutorial or two on that tool and learning.

New Jake Peavy:
You can get the 1280x1024 version at my padres blog.
Also, I used Lucas' suggestion to produce an effect similar to his Frank Thomas wallpaper. Here's what I did:
1. Duplicate layer
2. On the top layer go go to Image > Adjustments > Gradient Map, apply black to white gradient.
3. Change gradient mapped layer to overlay, adjust opacity to desired result.
4. ?????
5. Profit

Thanks!

Everybody Loves Frank
Comments?
Mets one a few pages back is my favorite of yours.
Question on the Frank Thomas: how did you get his color the way it is? He looks fantastic!
-
That is dope, it seems like its the new official style for wallpapers haha.
You're welcome .

Glad both you and KG liked it. No worries about the style. I like simplicity in design as well. Most of what I come up with begin by trying to replicate something else, failing, then liking what I end up with.

$50 Bucks please.
Wish that worked.

KG, your Dontrelle Willis text needs some work. Have you learned about layer effects yet? (assuming you're in Photoshop) Bust some of those out on that text. Maybe a drop shadow or outer glow.

I am sorry folks, but it looks like MVP 2007 might not be up to the official Geolink standards.
He should ask for all the money he paid back.

hey how about someone tries to make a new menu...
Wait a minute! You're "someone"!

It already happened, it's called KGbaseball's roster overhaul.
The majors are pretty much the same, other than KG made some modifications, and didn't update hit charts, hot and cold zones, and hit and miss stuff.
For the sake of creative control, I always intend to have my own roster.
Got it. Cool.

[Dwight Voice] Question:
Have Swingin Soriano and kgbaseball ever considered releasing one (1) roster set combined? Call it like 'SS's and KGB's rosters' or something?
This may have been discussed before, so forgive me if it has.

If it helps, Rob Bowen of the Padres has the wrong cyberface.
edit: Crap, I could have sworn I read the whole description, but apparently I forgot the mention of the new models.big. My bad.
-
Nice. Thanks for your work.
-
actually, you used those brushes really well there! What I suggest is to make a slight shadow around Adrian, with the opacity around 60-80 or so, in black or white. The cut-out is very nice, but with the shadow it softens the hard edges, and also creates a cool effect while you're at it.
Thanks for the suggestion. You mean a drop shadow?

does anyone else want to take a shot at my request?
I'm going to try a little something. It won't be in the style of your sig, it will be in my style.

Well i'll tell you this i can't wait till 2007. If at all possible can you make a start screen that you could switch. Like im a nationals fabn and would love to see more of there stuff.
You can use EaGraph to do that yourself, using whichever pictures you'd like. There are templates in the download section as well.
-
does that mean it's not possible on gimp?
Or try gimpshop.
-
SloppyChris, where do you get those hi-res pictures of stadiums?
They're not too hard to find, just use Google or Yahoo image search. Set the image quality to large or medium, then tweak them in Photoshop or the GIMP.

Actually I don't use grunge, i use abstract brushes mostly but I think I might put out a tut soon.
That'd be awesome.

I hate to be a bother, but do you know where I could find a tutorial? I looked around for "stock photoshop tutorials" but I think I might be misunderstanding something.
