Baseball Something a bit different

[Beckster24]

Some more, bit narrow, will have to fix them, turned out great though.

 

[Beckster24]

Two more, I don't think these will be the last for a while now, I'm finding it hard to get descent quality photos of the players

 

[Beckster24]

Lucky last, happy with this one

 

[Beckster24]

Not quite the last one, still waiting on a few others of some other players

 

[Beckster24]

Last and final lot, can't ask this guy to keep doing these for me free of charge and he is busy, will give him a bit of a rest from doing these. Its hard finding high res photos to use

 

[Beckster24]

These will be the last final ones, the guy that makes them has informed me that he will no longer be making custom cards, really sad about this as I was hoping he would help me do a full set of the all the Aussies who have made it the Major Leagues

I am going to ask for a tutorial or step by step instructions how to make photos look like that. I would like to finish my set of these cards

 

[Beckster24]

I finally got some info on how to make the cards look like that painted effect its called The Dragan Effect, for those of you who have Adobe Photoshop and want to have a go at manipulating photos install this Draganizse action into photoshop, or simply load the action in photo, or if you find that a bit confusing follow these steps in the psd file, that shows exactly how to get the photos to look that way. I am going to give it a go, worth a shot, can't gaurantee it will look as good as the custom cards I had made, I want to try and finish my set of Aussie Custom Baseball cards with some photos I have saved to my comp

Will post my efforts as soon as I finish them, not sure when that will be though lol!

I'm not sure its going to let me upload the files so if your interested I will put them in my photobuckett

 

[Beckster24]

Scrap that idea I can't upload it to my photobuckett account, those interested just send me a pm and I can email it to you

 

[Beckster24]

Here is my first attempt at making a custom A & G Card of Travis Blackley its no where near the same as the other ones I had made but its similar style, what do you guys think? I'm pretty happy with it

 

[smc2910]

doesnt look to bad, hard thing to get perfect first time but with a few more goes you should do better

 

[Beckster24]

Thanks, alot of it is trial and error, I will endeavor to make some more, once I have done will post them here

 

[Beckster24]

A few more I did last night, they need a bit of tweaking, overall very surprised how they have turned out

 

[Beckster24]

One of of Huber I like this effect, needs more work though of course, I have aged him a bit lol!

 

[Beckster24]

Another I am working on

A few more I did last night, they need a bit of tweaking, overall very surprised how they have turned out

Really like the effect you are getting with these,

[Beckster24]

This is my fave one of Justin Huber

 

[Beckster24]

Had a go at making two of my all time fave Red Sox player the Tek, Jason Varitek

 

[hornebag]

Do you think you could do one each of George Brett and Jerry Terrell?

 

[Beckster24]

I could have a go for you, give me something to work on today, I will have to try and find some really good high res pics

 

[Beckster24]

My fave one of Tek, hoping to send this one off TTM to get signed
