rentz Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hello everyone! I was sick today and needed a project to occupy myself... I decided to try something I haven't done before in Inkscape, an action template. I realize I may be a bit late, as Fraser Davidson's photorealistic template seems to be the future, but this was pretty fun and I'm pretty proud of it. It is certainly a work in progress... He is headless, and the shading needs work, and I need to make the cleats into something more than a black shape. But here they are; if you guys want to use it I could release it.And I chose the most beautiful uniform in the world to model the template All C+C appreciated!

HarperK Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Nice work on this, looks pretty good. Btw, I really like the new personal logo. Pretty sweet.I like it..id add a reflective visor or something..i think it looks creepy with no head:)...and, is your logo supposed to mimic the windows logo? that's the first thing i thought of when i saw it. ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah I'm going to add a head so he isn't so stormtrooper-esque.And yeah, it does look like the windows logo. Not intentional, I just like the shape and when the lines were all straight it began to look a little swastikaish. So it's kind of precautionary too haha.

The Fixer Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Awesome! I think a visor would look cool insted of a whole face. Also maybe add a helmet of the side so u can see the logo on the helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Wow, very nice Nole. I would also add a visor, and maybe a neck just so it would look more like a person. Very good template otherwise. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 looks awesome!!however, the helmet needs a little bit of work. the shell is too small...or something. Reminds me of an Adams-Riddell Revo hybrid. Make the helmet distinct and accurate and this is ballin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 @Brave_Bird: Yeah, you're right about the helmet... I realize now my reference image was a bit distorted, so the proportions are a bit off. I'll try to fix them.I decided to try the visor like some suggested.

gingerbreadmann Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It's rendered very well. But his arm is covering a lot of it, so maybe that wasn't the best pose for an action template. It's very hard to show off the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 I've made a new action template I've been using it in the Nike NFL thread some, but I figured I'd post it for some C+C.This was based off of a Nike Pro-Combat photo, which I found incredibly helpful due to the high resolution and excellent poses. The player is flat black because I wanted the focus to be the uniform. This template works a bit better because it doesn't obscure the numbers. The helmet is andrewharrington's, I just removed the stroke and shading to make it fit more with the aesthetic of my template.Here's a generic view of my template.I still need to work on it to optimize it for use, but if anyone wants it I'll send it to you as soon as possible.C+C welcome.

Shumway Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The shadows look a little too dark on the latest template, but all-in-all, it looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Looks great, but as Shumway mentioned, town down the shadowing to a minumum, and you've got a winner! For the record, I liked the storm trooper look.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
