Thanks Larry !

That was my 1st attempt at a Christmas custom What a Face

by Guest Sun Dec 13, 2015 3:12 am

James, I don't think I have seen that Santa 3po before. That turned out fantastic. For some reason I seem to recall the green one (also great) but not the red Santa one. I need t go back and look closer in this thread now to see what other goodies I may have missed.

Thank You Bryan Very Happy

I posted them somewhere at TIG back when I made them but I can't remember where . This was the 1st time I showed them here but I may have posted some stuff in this thread that you haven't seen What a Face

Love it james, I have a few of your customs. Very proud to own them. One of these days I'll have you make me a walking dead set...

by **ourchickenshack** Wed Dec 16, 2015 2:18 am

Thanks Kelly !!

I think you own every one of my Fett customs except Darth Baracus What a Face

In fact making them for you was really what got me into customs rockon

I have recently learning some very basic photo shop techniques . My skill level is the equivalent of a 1st grade student so I know there are tons of guys here that could do much better What a Face

I still had fun doing this ...

BTW - I have also went back and edited all the figure pics in this thread so they would look a little better and show the colors of the customs a little more accurately Very Happy

Now you can print those in movie poster size and hang them around your house. lol!

by **chris.75** Tue Feb 16, 2016 7:47 pm

Haha those are awesome, nice photoshoppery skills Jim clapping

I reckon a walking dead poster of your Hammerhead paint error would look very cool too afro

Very cool poster mock ups man. Very Happy

by **ourchickenshack** Wed Feb 17, 2016 4:27 am

Thanks guys What a Face

I will put some thought into a Walking Dead poster Chris Twisted Evil

I know you like the Universal Monsters Bryan so I made this one for you ...

Right now all I have to manipulate the photos are a couple programs my computer came with (Photo Gallery and maybe paint ?) . I would like to actually be able to cut outlines / crop the figures themselves but I can only do square stuff st00pid

I probably need to upgrade to actual photo shop to be able to do more I guess scratch

by **cantina_patron** Wed Feb 17, 2016 10:52 am

Nice work James. You'll have to give me a master class. clapping

by **ourchickenshack** Wed Feb 17, 2016 4:14 pm

Thanks Steve but I am farrrrr from a master Embarassed

Just having a little fun What a Face

Here's another one I played with late last night ...

Very cool. You going to insert the Alex custom into a poster?

by Guest Wed Feb 17, 2016 6:31 pm

Found a poster with an appropriate title, given how much he likes to strip down and run around (streaking). lol!

Or this one given his general lack of clothing (stripping).

That's what I'm talking about James cheers

Nice one brother, you have a talent for this Very Happy

by **chris.75** Thu Feb 18, 2016 11:14 pm

very cool James,........... very cool brother afro

by **ourchickenshack** Thu Feb 18, 2016 11:26 pm

Thanks guys cheers

I don't actually have photo shop and have been making do with a couple programs already on my computer . It would be so much easier if there was a way to outline and crop just the figure pics themselves . I did find a reverse way (sort of) - since I can only crop square photos , I have to paste that on the poster I am working on and then use paint to blend it in , cover images that were in the background , etc .

Kind of a pain in the ass doing it with a mouse , bad eyes and the coffee jitters lol!

What would you recommend me getting Chris ? I am really enjoying being able to make these but I think I could do a little better if I had more tools to work with scratch

by **chris.75** Thu Feb 18, 2016 11:38 pm

Pm sent James Wink
