I like the effects you added to the rocks and steps... did you do anything special to make it stand out?

[Colin]

Did a Garnett request sig.

[twolvesguy]

Thanks Colin!

[Ruff Ryder]

Tim Thomas sig looks like a 5 minute job, not to mention you used probably the most overused font ever. But the KG sig is good, that's a nice picture.

[Colin]

Yeah it's a 5 minute job, but I'm going to be making a new one after every Suns playoff game. Notice the 1.1 in the top left. And it is an overused font, but it is by far the best for the handwriting look. Scriptina and Base02, they may be overused, but at least they're good.

And thanks for the compliment on the KG.

[R.J.]

Don't really like red font, but if it's ok for you then use it.

BTW, I hate Tim Thomas. He's a dick IMO.

Quote explaining from my deviantart submission

Named for the first track on The Roots first album, I was going for a clean look. Along the sides are their albums in clockwise order from the lower left (Organix is the first.)

By the way, cutting an afro is tedious. The version I downloaded just had ?uestlove's hair faded out into the white by a lazy person.

[cklitsie]

everyone <3 The Roots.

Anyway, the afro is cut really good, wayyy better than the bucket hat.
Very nice work overall.

[Colin]

I think the guy who first cut this waaaay over-did it on the bucket hat, so now trying to smooth up the lines and stuff just makes it look way to small. I could make it bigger, but I didn't want to. I'd had enough cutting.

[Blasphemy]

I think the cutting just isnt very good. But 8/10. I like the roots too

[Colin]

I just went ahead and smoothed out everything. Now I've basically cut the entire picture myself. No thanks to .psd sites.

[KIG1]

Its too boring in my opinion.

[Jhade`]

Can I have a LeBron James sig?

[Colin]

Get the fuck out of my thread...

[Jhade`]

3 words. As you wish.

[Colin]

It says it can be enlarged, but it can't. It's just an even 600 pixels.

Anyways,

Simple stuff, a heavily (yet still subtlely) filtered photo of Mos witha good old black background.

[Axel]

What filters did you use?

[Colin]

Don't even remember, there were loads of them.

[J@3]

I like it, pretty much blended in perfectly.

[peaches]

I like it, i love text like that. Simple.

^ That is sick though. Awesome.

[Colin]

Made the background by using the pic of VC and a whole wack of filters (4-5 I think.) I thought it turned out quite well.

But the text still ain't great. Trying to make it the same look as the background just makes it un-readable. I have a few ideas I'll try out later, but I'm very open to suggestions.

[peaches]

Backgrounds very interesting & abstract. Though i think the VC pic is a bit too bright, is ok. A suggestion would be find a new text and put it on the left side, maybe top left corner? The total piece is interesting though

[Axel]

I agree with Peachy. It's too bright.

I'm not really sure about it... I dont think there is enough defintion to it. I can't tell if he's supposed to be coming out of the flames, or be consumed by them.
