BigDmo Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 What's up folks, I have received some comments in the past on this board showing interest in me posting my covers here, so I have decided to this year. Unfortunately I cannot take requests since I have a pretty busy life at the moment, but I will take suggestions. My focus this year is to do a current player and a past player like the real cover, and hopefully they will be related some way (same award, same position, same playing style, etc.). I will also be doing single covers of a few guys. Anyway, enough talk, here my first cover of the year, hot off the presses.RB Bobby Rainey - Western Kentucky Comments and criticism are always welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I'm the least busy in the summer so I'm able to crank out a good amount of NCAA FB covers vs. the winter with basketball ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyStroke Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 A Sean Taylor tribute cover would be awesome (this November is the 5th anniversary of his death). If you wanted to make it a double-cover putting current Hurricanes safety Ray Ray Armstrong would be cool. He wears Taylor's #26, and was touted as the next Sean Taylor when he came to Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wloowarrior22 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 a double cover of James Vandenberg and Chuck Long would be cool. Both qb's, wear #16, and last season Vandenberg tied Long for passing yards in school history at Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The year I don't have photoshop is the year these covers are the easiest to make. Smh.

TornadoGTS Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The year I don't have photoshop is the year these covers are the easiest to make. Smh. Not loving this years template.Hardly. 09 will always be the easiest, plus this year's version is a little more complicated than it appears. Facebook: CustomSportsCovers Twitter: CSCovers Quote No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

shaydre1019 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Haha yeah you're right, 09s is like nothing. But still I could be way wrong but this years appears fairly simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDmo Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 It's definitely simple if you don't do the brushing. I have chosen not to since I don't really like it. But the cover I posted is a bad example of "easy" since it took me about 5 hours total to do it all. The background I used is WKU's stadium however I had to do massive edits to it to blend it with the field off the original template, plus the clouds are my own addition too since the WKU stadium pic is actually a night picture.Here is the original pic for comparison:http://www.wkusports.com/pics32/0/UT/UTOCBBFSZDKTYQU.20110912044423.jpgPlus if you do effects like I do that'll take you at least an hour and a half itself.
