Now as I play Live, I get to know more. I know who Artest is, but I've never seen him play.
I don't know which team Conley is on.

But commenting on the
QUALITY of the faces, well, I'm speechless...

The face is very well sharpened - it brings NBA Live's cartoonish faces to another level of realism. Very good job indeed.

Kal,
Well, firstly Conley is in Memphis
You can take a fair guess because in my preview I use the team's colour as a background and their second colour as the frame
It's too bad that you started watching NBA on Houston 14~16th winning streak

If you started earlier, you would have seen Houston rock at the beginning of the streak!
Thanks for your compliments on my face, but with your headshape
we will get a much higher quality cyberfaces because my faces alone will not be great until they are combined with your amazing headshape
I'm embarrassed to say,however, that I hardly sharpened the faces.

I used unsharp mask only on eyes, nose, mouth, beard and moustache. I dont sharpen the forehead and cheeks. On those area, I use manual sharpen tools because I can control the quantity and I can focus on particular area. By using the unsharp mask on forehead and cheek the face will be too exaggerated and will cause the lack of smoothness and realism

This is because it sharpens the whole area, not just specific area.
To summarise things up, I sharpen the face according to the real photo, and I focus on particular area which requires more sharpness than the other areas.
Thanks again for praising my faces, but I gotta admit that I was able to get to this level because of you. Remember when you told me to align my bheds better? Since then I concentrated more on aligning my bheds and suddenly I was able to get to this level. I immediately got better, thanks to you
Oh and if you ever feel like making some faces instead of headshape, feel free to do so

I'll always be supporting you on whatever you do
