I only just got photoshop back onto my laptop, but I was bored so I thought I'd experiment with some of my older photos. I'm planning to make some spare cheerfuls just in case I attend an event and the team doesn't have one

This is the first attempt.

It's 1204x768 (although the real copy is basic A4 because that's the size of a normal cheerful.) I love graffiti, but I need to stop using it for all my motifs. Originally it had Midas too, but it looked too crowded.

Random Skyhigh manip used for Pony Express is along the same lines only with some 'battle damage' added;

I'm working on others in colour, but that one only comes in BW so far - I'm practising mainly in B/W because I find it a bit easier to work with.

Those are great ! bi-box are my background atm!
Btw if you want to color some random parts as the uniform, make a new layer on top, change the blending options to soft light and color the object with a simple brush, it will dodge any white areas so you dont need to be worry about being very precise ! good work once again <3

Thanks for the advice. I haven't really studied photoshop at all so I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything the long and hard way!

By me is the same, I read tutorials only when I'm completely helpless and I have no idea how to do what I want, but basically doing everything the long way is so much fun, otherwise is just like beating a computer game with a walkthru

The top one is excellent, if Midas had been it too, it would have started to look like a sea of heads, it would be going as my background right now if only it was a little bigger.
