Thazer Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 so, 2 thoughts inspire this thingy could i 'paper doll' a line of NBA legends in illustrator & the weirdness of the 80-81 topps set. 3 players random players on a card and you were seriously meant to rip the cards apart! no rhyme or reason here. sometimes the year is a career highlight.... or maybe when i think they just looked the coolest. ill try to be as accurate as possible with the unis and dudes. part of the fun is sleuthing out references to making vector logos from scratch off of an memorabilia auction photo, to figuring out some dudes hairline, to making sure what color Dr.J's knee brace was in 1976.... shoutout to blase!

KittSmith_95 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Are we allowed to do requests? I wouldn't mind seeing newer players done in this style, but if we must do legends, why not John Havlicek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 1) These are a delight to look at. Very well executed. 2) Where'd you get that script you're using for the team names? Are you hand-lettering those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoOakland Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 As a Warriors fan, it will never not be weird for me to see Nate Thurmond in anything other than blue and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. and yep, but i might be biased towards groovy sideburns hondo over dynasty square-hair hondo. even though im a laker guy i actually own a havlicek jersey. true story.
