mr shannon ive few comments on that emeka sig... right side should have a text mr double-double....

[buzzy]

Axel, you reminded me. I was gonna post this but forgot, heaven.

Although most of my pics come from Yahoo. Only with the Sefolosha wall I used that source from the link above. Never really had a problem with finding good pictures, it just takes alot of time. Yahoo still has the best quality photo's IMO.

Amazing

I like the Okafor sig ... and your wallpapers .. well, you know they are top notch

[Fluffy Taco]

are you taking requests for a 512 wallpaper? my psd wont work anymore for some reason, it crashed and my pc lags to try and re-install again. so you think you can recreate a kobe wallpaper like this? http://www.nba.com/media/lakers/0607bryant1024.jpg except that when youre making it into a 512 bg and making the kobe into a 512 size, dont combine it rather yet, separate it. i needed this cause i was going to put it as one of the startup boot screens. like you know how it separates into the image of the player and the nba live 2005 bg? well, same concept. making a nice looking, but empty, bg and resizing the image of the 2 kobes maybe with a new "kobe bryant" logo as another. if you could do this, big thanks to you. i wonder how itll come out...

please, if you can? if not, its ok i understand

I don't really get what you mean.

Heres a Penny Hardaway signature I just finished, for a request from Gatorade:

[TSquared]

wow..vintage penny..i like it..

[---]

Heres a really simple Lupe signature I just made:



I love simple designs so I'm gonna use this one till I make a new KD one.

[Marquis]

Yeah its simple, but it is so nice looking. Really good job Shannon

[c0nr4d]

yeah im lovin Lupe nice use of lighting and the simple, yet effective BG...and his work is awesome too (F&L is a great album)

[pgrams10]

Can anyone make a Oden and Durant wallpaper for the #1 pick. I would really appreciate it. THANKS A LOT

[---]

Maybe if you stop asking everywhere.

[TomCat]

Can anyone make a Oden and Durant wallpaper for the #1 pick. I would really appreciate it. THANKS A LOT

Please would've been nice. Or a compliment about Shannon's work. But no, you just came out and asked for a wall.

Anyway Shannon, have you been working on anything inparticular lately?

[pgrams10]

Scoop if you can read it says I WOULD REALLY APRECIATE IT!

[Axel]

I love the Lupe sig. Reminded me to play his album yet again.

[---]

My first "real" jersey switch, Mike Conley Jr. I'm definately making a wall using this one. Man, that took ages.

[Elbeen]

Holy shamole! That's insane! Job well done!

[Gundy]

Wowww....Amazing job there, Shannon.

[buzzy]

Whoa
That's amazing, I'm sure the wall will be even better!

[Joe']

Nice stuff you got here, Shannon. I'm surprised it's the first time I noticed it. Excellent job

About the jersey switch: the Grizzlies logo on the shorts should be rotated just a bit to the right, but that's just a little detail.

Have you ever tried doing vectors? I think you're really good at this and you should definitely try that.

[---]

Thanks everyone. Joe, I have never tried doing vectors, I don't really like them much. I might give one a go soon though, just to see.

Anyway heres my second switch, Kevin Garnett:

[hammertime23]

That Conley switch is perfect . While that Garnett switch is good, but the colors look too pastelish and cartoonish. idk the texture just doesn't look real try but it is executed perfectly. Maybe overlay a real jerseys texture on top of that? Idk.

[c0nr4d]

alright, ive been told im pretty good at this switchin stuff, so if i may, i'd like to give come criticism.

obviously, the Conley switch is much better than the KG one, but it lacks some things to bring it to perfection
- blues on the trims should be darker
- shoulder area of the jersey is a bit too wide from the OSU one
- neck trim should come to a point moreso
- either have no drop shadow on the number and wordmark, or make the shadow smaller and have less opacity
- the side panels' stripes should have a lil drop shadow outside of them

for the KG one:
- match the blue of the number 21 for the wordmark and trims
- im not sure how u recolored his jersey, but find a way to retain the folds to keep it from looking flat.

Altogether, this is a great start to jersey-switching. Maybe try some of the stuff i suggested to make em look even better and u can crank out real-ass shit in no time
