perfarbly

Yes, we would all perfar you to stay away from these forums.

by **cklitsie** on Sat Jan 07, 2006 12:04 am

No I won't make that, you only have 2 posts here so you're probably just coming in requesting a sig and then leave again.
And I don't like Shaq, animated stuff and too big sigs.

Here's my try at another wall, but I had no inspiration at all so it looks kind of bland, simple. Any ideas on how to make it more appealing?

Maybe some action pics faded into the background.

by **Jing** on Sat Jan 07, 2006 3:16 am

yeah perhaps more stuff in background, and a lil lighter.

uve got some nice stuff here, complimenti!!! (Y)

I like how it looks, but you're right, it seems to be lacking something. I'm not overly in agreement to adding complexity, but a single and simple action shot covering the entire background faded, as Jae mentioned, might do the trick. The text looks great (y)

I'm participating in a wall tournament and I'm up against a crazy good designer in the first round. I'm obviously bound to lose but I'd still like to show up with a solid wall.
So please give me some comments on what I've got so far and what I should do with the 2 red walls (made them red just so you can see the idea).

Oh come on, anyone?

by **Colin** on Mon Jan 16, 2006 4:32 pm

I have no idea really. 'Posters' of other shots of him?

by **Jing** on Mon Jan 16, 2006 4:34 pm

hm.. that looks pretty interesting... its a new simple concept.. dunno what really to comment or suggest on...

by **cklitsie** on Mon Jan 16, 2006 4:57 pm

Maybe the temporary red walls makes it look a little stupid and limits the possibilities of things I can do with this start.
Maybe you can give me suggestions after looking at this http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/57/bassywall0ug.jpg ?

I think I've had too much caffeine. For some reason as soon as I saw that I pictured him being in like a dark hallway with other players chasing him down it. It looked like a scene out of Scary Movie. Weird. I do like where you're going with it.

by **cklitsie** on Tue Jan 17, 2006 4:53 am

Damn, why can't I get that from caffeine? :lol:

Anyway, I made some progress:

It's still far too empty and amateur, any suggestions? :oops:

(and yeah - I need to fix the lower part of the hole)

by **J@3** on Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:17 am

I think your head already has to be somewhat messed up before things like that start happening.

I really really like that background, but I don't think it goes well with the floor... if I had to choose to keep one of the two, I'd definitely keep the background because it could turn into something fantastic. Unfortunately I also have no idea how to expand on it from where it is.

by **Ruff Ryder** on Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:20 am

Kinda what I was thinking, but I don't know what you could fill the empty space with unless just some slightly visible brushing.

by **Jing** on Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:52 am

hm. very nice. though i think some parts of the hole doesnt look like its broken through. take a piece of paper and punch through it. .cause some parts of the tear look rounded

by **zmac** on Tue Jan 17, 2006 10:49 pm

Very nice

Need some text in there I feel....

by **cklitsie** on Tue Feb 07, 2006 2:23 am

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, but screw the Bassy thing.. it sucks.

New wallpaper, Mike Jones. I thought the title I cam up with was pretty nice, not creative though. :lol:

by **KOBE#8** on Tue Feb 07, 2006 4:58 am

Hey man I see you have great work, could you do a sign for me ? please

Make it cool with Kobe and with a sign "The amazing one #8"

by **Ruff Ryder** on Tue Feb 07, 2006 8:09 am

Great wall. (Y)

When I read the title I got kinda scared that you would do that other fool with more money in his mouth than my family's yearly income.

by **cyanide** on Wed Feb 08, 2006 2:02 am

The Bassy one was starting to become promising with that sweet wall effect, but the player looked a little ridiculous in that kind of setting. Would've been something out of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events :lol:

As for WHO? that is a very sweet wallpaper. I love your choice of fonts, one of the few people who knows how to choose the right ones if I might add. The one thing that I'm not comfortable with is the contrast in the background with the first 2/3rd vs the last 1/3rd seem a little separated. You could experiment a bit with the burn and dodge tools on the players so they appear less cut out, unless you want that effect. Also, was that Nike basketball originally in the photo or was it added?

Can I use your Nas one?

by **cklitsie** on Sun Jul 02, 2006 10:53 pm

Alright I finally updated this thing again with some older graphics and sigs and some new stuff as well.
And the reason why I basically dug this thread up again:
