Real 2021 Draft: Evan Mobley Portrait Release

[bluejaybrandon]

Follow your gut and internal timeline and don't even bother to answer to those who try to force you to rush it. We greatly appreciate what you do for the game each year and will be patiently waiting for this amazing project. Stay safe blue

I appreciate the sentiment and the kind words. You more than anyone knows what goes into a good draft class with accurate faces. You do the same man!

[bluejaybrandon]

Cool! Can't wait to put this class into MyLeague

Only one little thing, if I can.
Nico Mannion to me seems a little unrealistic, here's an example:

Apart from that, respect and good work!

Reworked Nico Mannion. Not completely done but hopefully its more to your liking and more realistic.

Hey man, thanks so much for taking the time to write this. Means a lot to me to see stuff like this. Good things happen to good people and it’s clear you’re good people. All the best to you and yours.

I do want to point out that 95% of the faces in the class are not done directly by me. I might do some touch up but usually it’s the hard work of the cyberface creators. When this thing gets released best believe they will be showcased front and center for all they do. They’re the true artists that make this place special.

Thanks man, glad it’s an improvement. I already had the face texture from one of the talented creators. Just tried to find a base that people felt was closer.

Take your time, we know the effort and time that is necessary before release a huge project like this one. Good work man.

I appreciate it! Best of luck to your work this year, you’ve done amazing things.

Fantastic job

Just a quick update...

The final prospect previews before release are live! We are currently sitting at 65 prospects (not all were previewed, as some are still in development). All ratings, tendencies, accessories and pictures are done. I won't set a release date, but I'm very excited about this being the homestretch. The link below will take you to the first page with previews.

Your work is incredible and the #1 reason I stick to PC over console. I could not be more impressed, Thanks so much for the time and effort.

I appreciate the kind words, as I'm sure the creators do as well. Yeah mods and more specifically draft classes is what made me make the switch the PC, so I understand the appeal.

Holy shit this year is some of the best ever. Great work bluejay, and other creators involved.

[PettyPaulPierce]

Awesome job with the skin improvements! Everyone is looking brighter now and closer to their natural skin color! Amazing project!

Yeah you were spot on with your assessment. Something in the shaders I had was messing with the screenshot feature. Should be accurate, especially if people are just running base 2k without shaders.

Much appreciated. I think I agree with you, each year these guys do great but the level of detail that they had this year was above and beyond. A lot of the faces look like they could be face scans in my opinion.

[stache9835]

Nicely done

I agree. Edwards, Killian, McDaniels, Maxey, Precious, Melo too look spot on, and considering how poorly 2k usually makes their rookies it's safe to say it looks better than what they will release in 2k21. Much props to your crew!

Great job man. I know you said you don't want to give exact dates moving forward but about how far are you from releasing? Just curious. Thanks.

[big-shot-ROB]

Holy crap all those are awesome. I'm stunned. You're the best man, keep up the good work!!

[Yandes]

[dserras]

Looks amazing my guy, thank you for your work on it!

[bluejaybrandon]

Shooting for the month of May. Not a firm deadline because those don’t work out always. Basically I’ve got 75% of portraits done. A couple more prospects to finalize and then some minor adjustments so the ratings are in line with mocks. That’s why I was sad to miss the last deadline but this is definitely the homestretch.
