No Requests blake's graphics [quick manip + blake]

[blake]

Hey guys - I haven't made any graphics for a long, long time. I haven't really done anything much since a couple of years ago, but with the various pre-cuts in the thread I thought I might like to start a thread.

This is based a lot on requests, so please do request, it's what keeps me going here.

I will post up a bit of the artwork I have done a long time ago - these are from various things and many are requests for people, so don't worry if they seem strange. They aren't all sporty. They will be going from oldest to newest - obviously the newer ones will probably be better as I get better, so the ones at the bottom should be the best.

It's quite funny to see my starting graphics, compared to the ones at the end. Please don't just look at these first ones and decide that I'm useless.

I could've just posted my best ones up, but I feel it is best to show my line of development and how far I've come.

This is the one where I felt my artwork started to get slowly better.. good ol' Russell Robertson.

Here is where I took my first step up - from Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 to Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9.

Yeah, he's got two noses, get over it.

Here is where I took the step up from Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 to Photoshop CS3. You can see the difference - The CJ Bruton one looks a lot cleaner.

This picture of unknown table tennis champion Werner Schlager won me my first ever graphics competition.

It was a request, I don't actually think Lance Franklin is an 'awesome guy'.

Cheesy, I know. Hey, he requested it.

So, quite a few sigs, hey? Well, I have a few more that I haven't uploaded but they are of different FPS games, and I feel I am a better graphics artist than even my latest sigs suggest.

Please request, I need something to keep me busy.

Quite rightly as you've said,the quality of your works have just become better as the page scrolls down.I personally feel that Ian Bell siggy is your best till date.I would suggest you to improve the blending part of your works though.KUTGW mate.
Keep them coming.

 

[OffCutters]

Very nice sigs mate, since you asked for requests, can you make me one with Nick Riewoldt and the Saints logo on it? To Keep you busy

 

[Pranav]

^Your best. I have a mixed reaction at your sigs. I've loved some of them and at the same time I hated some of them. You've produced your best graphics around the middle. I'd reccommend you to use more textures instead of using more brushes.

Blake your graphics are awesome as naresh said you are improving when we see hole page and we scroll our kouse.Your harbhajan is best as pp said keep it up.

Thanks very much for all the feedback, I appreciate it.

OffCutters, do you want it to be forum size? 300 x 100? What size for the sig..

 

[OffCutters]

Oh right sorry mate, forgot. yeah 300 x 100 will do mate. Thanks

 

[blake]

OK. I've finished the signature. Might be a little bit bright, but I worked hard on it and would appreciate feedback.

I did the original as a 400 x 200, but I have resized it to 300 x 100.

Here we go.

[OffCutters]

Thanks alot mate, it looks really good tbh. Will be using it if you dont mind

 

[blake]

Go for it. I just included the 300 x 100 sharpened one which looks better as the other one came out a bit blurry. I have included the image links there so you can definitely use them, I am more than happy. :cool:

Wanna try and make me a Andrew McLeod one please?

 

[blake]

Any pictures you want me to use Roo? I found a few but I'm not sure if they are what you are looking for. Post up a picture if you want which will make it heaps easier for me.

Nah mate, use your own ideas

A bit of a cop out here really. It was a tough one to do, but I thought I would attempt it tonight despite it crawling into the late hours.

I suppose I was a bit tired, and this didn't turn out too well. The text was also a bit of a cop-out.

Not too bad I guess. Let me know what you want changed.

300 x 100
