----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok guys please post in the below thread instead since this blog post is getting pretty old now.http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=304143-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Show Spoiler [Original Blog Post] +Hey everyone, Now that I finally have some time off work I thought it might be fun to do some messing around with Photoshop. Anyway since deltacraft did a Photoshop stream session I though it might be fun to do a Photoshop and graphics stream. I will mostly be streaming Starcraft related graphic requests but I might branch out into other areas as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPCOMING REQUESTSiloveoov (Bonjwa set) Flash (Bonjwa set) MMA for NationInArms Gordon Freeman leaping into air with crowbar in hand against a Combine Elite for GigaFlop (1920x1200) Sen for tsilaicos Prime Team for OKScottish (made by Insidia, here) Grubby for InsidiA NaDa for Kashll Savior for ArterialMC for MilAgro & Wumbo SlayersBoxer for MilAgro & NationInArms~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SAVIORMaking of video: coming soon ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IPqWH.jpg) Requested by Arterial I am trying to mix up the font treatment a bit now since I used the same ones quite a few times in the past. This one I did the text kind of like an old Godzilla poster. BOXERMaking of video: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/885pc.jpg) Requested by MilAgro & NationInArms The stream for this one is pretty long due to all the masking required (masking hair sucks  ). At the start of the stream I show where to get Korean fonts from. This was the hardest image to come up for so far, it wasn't until I decided to play off the emperor concept that it came together. NESTEAMaking of video: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vIy4C.jpg) Requested by MilAgro. This one is more of a joke so I didn't put much time into it Also Homestory Cup was starting so it got cut short a bit time-wise. MARINEKINGMaking of video: http://www.justin.tv/futurefive/b/304886676![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/b4IqU.jpg) Requested by MilAgro LIQUID`HEROMaking of video: Part 1, Part 2![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8K6Ll.jpg) Inspired by Street Fighter 4 JULYMaking of video: Part 1, Part 2![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QzdyT.jpg) I couldn't stream live this time since I didn't have the upload bandwidth available (blame Australian internet it is worse than many developing countries). Also the start of the video is a bit cut off since the first part got corrupted somehow  . Anyway this one is kind of based on a photo of The Notorious BIG. I couldn't find any high-res images of July (what's with Korean press and low-res images?) so I had to do something different to make it work. PUMAMaking of video: http://www.justin.tv/futurefive/b/304499397![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/OA986.jpg) Did something a little different this time.. kinda popart style for Puma. IDRAMaking of video: http://www.justin.tv/futurefive/b/303748582Version with alternate spelling GRAKEN -> GRACKEN http://i.imgur.com/dZ1rr.jpg HYDRALISKMaking of videos: Part 1, Part 2(full broadcast including 3D rendering in 3DSMax) ZEALOTMaking of video: http://www.justin.tv/futurefive/b/303482490 FIREBATMaking of video: http://www.justin.tv/futurefive/b/303411781![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/W36a8.jpg) I did a firebat wallpaper last night as a test although my brother was using Skype at the same time so the video quality wasn't the best it could be. Imgur Album: http://futurefive.imgur.com/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the following 3d models from the campaign which I can create scenes from in 3dsMax for wallpapers or whatever: Banshee Medivac Viking (Ground mode) Firebat Marauder Marine (attached to biped rig) Siege Tank Zergling Hydralisk Mutalisk Zeratul (Dark Templar) I don't have the time (or the interest) to create new models from scratch so keep that in mind. My plan is to do some wallpapers based on pro-gamers. Like a kraken idra themed one, and a puma one with puma's (the animal) in it. Maybe liquid`hero as a knight.If anyone has any ideas or requests let me know. I'll be streaming later on today sometime. I have been using Photoshop for about 14 years.

wow so goood!
i want a zealot wallpaper
|
This looks really good :O A Protoss wallpaper would be nice (DT, storming HT).
|
A hydra wallpaper would be so sick, man. Great, great work!!
|
I've been trying to learn photoshop over break ever since I got it free [love free stuff from college ] Its soo complicated at first glance
And that firebat pic looks pretty sick. Nice photoshop skills, hopefully one day...
|
Ok I'll do a Zealot based on the Zealot portrait model for AristaBang.
Then a hydra/zergy one for UmbraaeternuS
Anyone want anything progamer related?
I can do some silly photoshops too like head swaps etc if anyone wants something like that.
|
Just doing some renders now so I will start streaming soon. Rendering hogs cpu so I need to do it off stream.
|
Ok streaming now I will do the Zealot first...
|
|
Ok guys had to have a quick break. Setting up the hydra now so should be streaming in about 5-10 mins

It doesn't take that long to learn I have just been doing it for a long time. If you catch my stream live send me some questions in chat.

Yeah nice all those should be straight forward.
The only one I'm not getting is MC and Snoop. Do you mean Snoops dress style but with MC?
I have something special planned for Marineking 
Oh yeah follow me on JTV if you want to be notified when the stream comes online. That way we can discuss during the creation.
|
From wikipedia: "In hip hop music, rock music and electronic dance music, an MC is a music artist and/or performer who usually creates and performs vocals"
I mean oGsMC with some rapper outfit, i didnt find fitting pictures else than those 2, but I searched only for a few minutes so there are better ones to find i guess.

Quick Idra wallpaper 22mins which is the shortest yet. I might do a better one of Idra sometime later.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bT5jN.jpg)
Here is the video of the stream http://www.justin.tv/futurefive/b/303748582
Anyway I'll be away until next week. After that I will try to stream at least once per week
|
|
|
I'm using the PuMa background as my desktop background right now. I don't think I'll ever change it either unless you come out with a new one.
|
These are some really great images, I didn't know people liked photoshop streams, I've been streaming paintings I've been working on on justin.tv for a while now, must stream on TL :D

I don't think they do really since I get very few viewers (like 1 or 2) although I haven't put my stream on the TL stream list so that might be part of the reason. I still think its fun to do nonetheless. This type of photoshop work is really easy for me so I consider it more like relaxation.

July for Macrobe
I am currently streaming the video. I couldn't stream live since I didn't have the upload bandwidth available at the time (blame Australian internet it is worse than many developing countries). Also the start of the video is a bit cut off since the first part got corrupted somehow . I will update the OP with the making of video link when it is done.
Anyway this one is kind of based on a photo of The Notorious BIG. I couldn't find any high-res images of July (what's with Korean press and low-res images?) so I had to do something different to make it work.

Personally, even when I only have 1 or 2 viewers on stream, I've found that streaming makes me stay productive as opposed to taking breaks all the time on the internet as I'm usually prone to doing Also, it's kind of fun to look at the recordings again later. Process work is cool!
And thanks! Btw, I have to ask - is your username an Azumanga Daioh reference?

Yep it is love that show. Although TL is the only place I have this username since it is really really old.

Hey man, I've lurked a bit on your blog and I really appreciate people who are dedicated to the cause  Don't let the viewership demotivate you. Work hard and you'll get rewarded eventually
Your stream doesn't seem to be online now but next time I'll to watch whenever I can/not working on my game

Just taking a quick break now will be online later. Don't worry I'm not demotivated at all I knew from the beginning I wouldn't get many viewers since its a niche stream. Thanks for the support

looking forward to seeing your stream you are talented keep it up!

Love the artwork, looks great.

I really want to do a boxer one but when I started playing around with ideas it didn't go very well I want to do the emperor proud so I am going to wait until I have an idea that will work.

Nestea for MilAgro.
This one is more of a joke so I didn't put much time into it. Also Homestory Cup was starting last night so it got cut short a bit time-wise.
What would happen if Nestea (the drink company) hired Nestea (the SC2 player) to be the mascot for a new flavor?
The making of broadcast videos are on my channel I will highlight the parts tomorrow some time and update the OP with links.

Thanks so much for the wallpaper, it's great!
|
Wow these are so sick! Waiting eagerly for the oGsMC for my new wallpaper >.<
|
MKP just became my background for my laptop, these are SOOOO good! keep it up man!

I'm right there with you, can't wait to see what he comes up W/ i just followed his stream.

Slayers`Boxer for MilAgro & NationInArms
The stream for this one is pretty long due to all the masking required (masking hair sucks ). At the start of the stream I show where to get Korean fonts from . This was the hardest image to come up with so far, it wasn't until I decided to play off the emperor concept that it came together.
For the next stream I will do either MC or Savior depending on what I get a good idea for first.

Pretty fucking sick! Do a NaDa one

Hey Neko i REALLY love your stuff, tbh your miles ahead of me so i'd love a wallpaper. Any chance you could make me a Grubby Wallpaper? I'll give you some creative freedom cause i'm not sure what i want on it but SC2 themed not WC3. Thanks a lot! EDIT: BTW, you could probably do a nicer looking watermark (bottom right corner)
|
Can you do one over the team Prime?
|
The MKP one is easily the best wallpaper in my opinion and I think something similar like that with a zerg theme and a player would be really awesome. I mean, not put a players head on a zergling but in that style. It's so fucking beautiful lol.
i hope someone can adopt my idea and evolve it. :p

Yeah that should be fine. You mean have the player all zergified kind of like this http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/019/3/2/sarah_kerrigan_for_melike_acar_by_ertacaltinoz-d2vl5ze.jpg? But I would do a different angle/composition than that.
The key part is what player? There are a lot to choose from so if you could narrow it down that would be good. DRG, Leenock, Stephano, Sen...
OgsMC will be up next I hope you guys will like what I have planned :D

Thanks for the PM ^^ copypasted from other thread:

I was thinking a picture of Gordon Freeman leaping into the air with his crowbar in hand against a Combine Elite would be cool, but wallbase.cc didn't have anything particularly to my interest :/ If you do this, 1680:1050? Thing is with something like this is. I have no 3D rendering skills I have no PS drawing skills. So if you don't have a picture of Gordon Freeman doing this, I cant really do it unfortunately. I found a few that might be helpful + Show Spoiler +if they would help at all? edit: they are wallpaper-sized, open in new tab to see them in full Images are broken for me here, here, here, here, and here.Should take to their respective pages

Boxer is pimp as f*ck!!

Ok Savior is done for Arterial
I am trying to mix up the fonts a bit now since I used the same ones quite a few times in the past. This one I did kind of like an old Godzilla poster.
As usual I will update the op with stream link when it is ready.
---------------
In other news I am still working on one for MC. His switch from oGs to SK has made it a bit trickier though

That looks really sick. I think a wallpaper with Sen zergified would be kick-ass. Also I think his taiwanese name should be in the picture too since it's really made all these wallpapers alot more badass to have the korean names included. Just an idea though. 
Also I guess it might be hard to use this picture but I think it's really cool and might suit for something... What do you think?

Edit: and oh just wanted to say you're really awesome for doing this. you should get somone kind of icon next to your name. :p

Ok I will do a Sen one for you. Using his Taiwanese name is a great idea BTW.
As a general rule I try not to use any pre-made graphics at all. Mainly because I don't feel comfortable just using another artists work, but it also means I can compose the image how I want, and I learn more from the process that way. That is why if you watch the stream I render most of the graphics myself (using models from the game).
I have a full-size hydra model so I can easily recreate the pose in that image...
