rentz Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 My first try. Not a very good one.I've been really trying to simplify it. I'm afraid I've turned Clint into Abe Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think that looks very good Nole, lookin' badass. I attempted Johnny U but it turned out horribly. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Good call on the Abe Lincoln reference, but it looks like a fantastic start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilliesPhan1325 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I was doing a Charlie Manuel one. It didn't look much like him but i was happy with how I was actually coming along. And of course inkscape stops working and closes. I hadn't saved since almost the very beginning. I'm so disappointed right now. "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT!

CDixonDesign Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Getting into the habit of saving every couple of steps is an invaluable habit, you never know when something as silly as a power blip will give you the ultimate "hulk" moment...

But I just completely forgot about it. Learned my lesson though I guess. "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!"

Quillz Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Also, if you're "experimenting," do a Save As... instead of Save. (Or do "Save a Copy...") That way, you can basically have two versions, the one you're happy with and the one you're experimenting with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnygriswold Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nole, I liked your first (blue/blue) version the best. I don't see Abe Lincoln at all. Very nice work!

chestnutz Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Lookin good Nole.And spammy, seriously? I've always been on your side and all, but the first step is by far the easiest one. It's getting a little ridiculous. Get to something like what CDixon has, then post it.I'm workin' on a little something for a concept, using davidson's technique. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidson Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 My first try. Not a very good one.I've been really trying to simplify it. I'm afraid I've turned Clint into Abe Lincoln.i reckon you have completed stage 1. remember that stage 2 is about homogeneity and not keeping it looking like clint.the idea of simplifying him is to make him generic looking. great job so far tho.

bohob Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Update... still struggling to eliminate the resemblance to Abe.I think it has to do with the dark hair and the way the cheek shadows resemble facial hair. Maybe that's just me, though. Great start!

MDC Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 This is what I have. I think the body turned out great, which I wasnt going to do at first, but the face is tough, it doesnt really look too much like MJ. Maybe its just me. Any advice on how to start the next step? Right now, everything is a path, and im not sure if i should start turning them into objects. Im using inkscape btw.Any help is appreciated ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
