Looks good Colin, but not feelin the white corner bits, maybe some color, or make em transparent. But real nice

[Colin]

More.







I like the white, and finding another colour to use there wouldn't be easy. I tried some pattern overlays, but they didn't work.

[zmac]

Yeh, I just find that the white draws attention from the rest of it....

[J@3]

Those are awesome, good stuff

[HonorGlow]

Well I gave Colin the proper 'props' for his 5 contributions by saying "I practically peed my pants" in seeing what he had done! Thanks too nbalive744 for refining your Carmelo shot! I really do appreciate this guys!

Unrestrict3D will be taking a stab at creating some too...and I also asked "The Batman" to convert his McGrady one..BUT I think something was missed in translation or something...so we'll see.

Keep the updates coming guys! Thank you!

I'm attempting to do a Maggette one, with a jersey switch by cklitsie for my team

Edit: here it is



and here is a lame Antoine Walker one:



I really need some fonts

[HonorGlow]

Jugs, that Antoine Walker one is hilarious! Try to get some cool definitive fonts and you should be set! Looks good so far! If there was some way to crop down your Chris Paul sig, I'd love to incorporate that too!

...well I guess it's settled for now...we're using real headshots...

[J@3]

Inspired by Colin's genius (and killing all other submissions) I'm going to start on a new style at some point soon. I think mine just looks a bit dodgy now.

I'll find fonts in the morning or now

Oh and I didn't make my sig, maybe ask Colin if he has the .psd and he could fix around with it or something if he wants to.

[Jugs]

soz for double post

Here's my attempts of better fonts:

Maggette:




Antoine:



If the fonts are still not good then i'll host the .psds...

[cklitsie]

I already showed these to HonorGlow, but I guess posting them here too wouldn't hurt:


I need to fix them so they'll be universal (usable for every team) and they need headshots instead of action shots, but HonorGlow said they were alright.

[Jugs]

They are definitely nice but as you mentioned, they need to be more of a headshot.

And nice Upper De*ahem* Live GMC logo

[Heiks]

They're awesome, just zoom in on the players and those will be perfect.

Colin's are actually fantastic. The white corners may draw the attention on the gray bacground here on the boards, but they are flawless when the whole background is white.

I'd just recomend some finishing touches like adding the first name on top of the last name in a smaller font and maybe some LiveGMC logo, khm*CK's*khm, in the top right corner.



Something like this:

[cklitsie]

Damn man that looks good, Colin's headshots are flawless. Only thing that could use a change is the font, I'm not too fond of it ( ).

ps. HonorGlow reminded me of how - if he'd use it on his site - the "Upper Deck" logo could get him into trouble. I think the small ones wouldn't hurt though.

[Raps13]

Hey Colin cud you plz make one of those sigs for bosh or charlie v?

[HonorGlow]

Hey Colin cud you plz make one of those sigs for bosh or charlie v?

Hey hey, submit your pstat file to the Birdie Board and it'll give Colin more motivation to create a headshot/sig of Bosh/Charlie V!

I had this whole critique/shout out/thank you reply written out and lo' and behold...my computer connection dies along with the Forum...so all gone

It's 1am here so I'm a bit tired to rewrite all that was but wanted to say thanks to Jugs, and cklitsie for your efforst and I'm looking for cklitsie to your 2nd version of those UpperGMC body to headshot prototypes...like I said, I was almost peeing my pants seeing how you've never ceased to amaze me with your creative skills!

I also added Jugs' contributions to the first post as he said that those last 2 are his definitive versions. Nice nice work Jugs!

[cklitsie]

These any better?

[3th]

yours rock cklitsie

[Jugs]

Yep, those are definitely better, great job

[J@3]

Great work

[cklitsie]

Thanks guys, don't exagerate though, they're not thát great.

Jae, your sig - where do you get these funny quotes man?

[J@3]

Realized that for the Carter card I put his name down as 'Carter' whereas the rest of them were all-caps.

Thanks for the comments and tips. And about the tips:
1 - I like the font
2 - If I add the first name it starts to get a little crowded in that small space IMO. And I want to leave it very simplistic as that's the best part.
3 - I like the logo idea, so I'm adding it. Here's all of them updated.












edit:

If there was some way to crop down your Chris Paul sig, I'd love to incorporate that too!

Don't pee your pants, I made that too. I'll do a set that has that kind of style though.

[streetballaz1]

they're awesome
