marble21 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 *** NOW AVAILABLE HERE ***So I have created this .psd soccer template using a number of different images taken from different players.What I am after is some help from the CCSLC community. Basically, I would like some constructive C+C on the overall quality of the template. The concept itself I am not bothered about. I just want to create the best template I am capable of and then release it for everyone when (and only when) it is at that stage.The general areas I am looking for critique are on any areas where the texturing is weak, things don't line up etc. The lines I have drawn on to test a concept with are weak as I did them in a rush, so do not count them in your feedback.There are some things I know need improving but I would love a second opinion on everything.Thanks in advance!marble21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas1787 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Great job! Glad to see a soccer model coming together. I think the texture is a little hard to make out in the shorts (but this may be because of the dark blue colour you used here).Also, just some general cleaning up of the lines, especially down the left hand side of the shorts.Great job though, I'd definitely be interested in working with it.

marble21 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the comments!I will play around with the contrast on the texture layers to try and improve things. They are not too consistent over the three aspects of the full kit.There is a lot of cleaning up around the edges which needs doing. As this will take some time I thought it best to check for other issues first.In general, does the scaling and skin tones look OK? The upper body is Gareth Bale, the shorts and knees are Scott Parker, the socks are Michael Dawson and I think the boots came from Neymar, so I don't want it to look too mismatched.

marble21 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Minor update. I am in need of some more critique due to my woefully short attention span often making me miss minor details.I cleaned it up a little and changed the way the colours show through. Here are the individual RGB:...and here it is using the official LA Galaxy colours (thanks Colorwerx!) to show what some actual colours that would be used in real life may look like:If there is literally anything that looks off with this then I would like to know, no matter how big or small.

MJWalker45 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 You may want to color the shoes. Save a select few, not many pros wear black. It gives you something else to design as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 The plan was to keep them subtle to not distract from the team's design elements on the shirt, shorts and socks. That is why they are the way they are now.I can (and probably will) update that though for use with the finished template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarSlamEagle Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'd really be interested in this template when it comes out officially. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Do the shorts look like there is too much of a contrast?Mainly looking at the dark parts on right hand side of each leg as we look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marble21 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I have messed around a bit with the contrasts on the texture layes and think I am finally happy with it.I will do some work on making the boots customisable, some final cleaning up and finalise a proper background and then I will make it available.I know this isn't coming along all that quickly for how much is getting done but this kind of work doesn't come naturally to me so I just have to slog away at it.

mcrosby Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The template is so great I almost didn't notice Bale's giant ears. COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks for the comments.I think it is a shame Bale had those ears pinned back last summer. It was sort of a defining feature in his look, but he obviously wasn't comfortable with them so its understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
