I get really bored at night, and enjoy playing in Photoshop as a hobby.

If anyone wants a one-of-a-kind, totally collectible kickass Avatar or Signature, post the pic here with a description of what you want.

I can offer my services as well on a part time basis to back Tony up. (you know, in case you start selling some cars :D ) I just dont have as much free time as Tony.

I actually sold two cars today while posting. It's amazing how much down time there is while the customer is in Finance signing paperwork. :)

of course, to take advantage of TTS's kind gesture one needs to be a supporter, as in the sticky :)

But of course.....thanks for reminding me.

Tony,

Can you take this pic and erase everthing in the backround except the truck. I want the pic to be only the truck. No border nothing but truck.

Here you go. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to it, like insert a background or resize it (it looks so naked!).

Is that primer paint all over it?

No, I think it's shadows from the trees. I should probably take that out, no?

*edit* Taking that out will be impossible on my work laptop with a touchpad. I'll try at home tonight, but I'm afraid it'll look too shopped. Any other pics?

I have tried removing shadows, it winds up looking very composite.

Yea I will post another pic. I don't want the square box around the truck. I want the pic to be the shape of the truck. If that is possible. I couldn't figure it out.

I want this as my avatar,it needs shrunk.The absolute minimum please,I can stare at this for hours

This is smaller, but I think your original is within the signature size requirements. Now whether Urb, Sal, and others let it go is another story.

However:

http://cooleywire.com/jimmyh/new/shake.gif

smaller res, fewer colors, 50% dither 129 kb --> 22 kb

I see nothing wrong with it,and thank you!!!!Keeps telling me I can't upload animated images,gonna have to get uber helpidge

No animated gifs as Avatars (unless you're Urby).

wow.
keep it nice guys :)
i dont even have an av

You did have that bitchin' animated skull for a while.....

By "keep it nice", are you saying we're being mean, or "Keep it work safe"? :D

WORK :p

No animated gifs as Avatars (unless you're Urby).

what about Florian

Come on Urb,hook me up please.

My 10 good reasons why I need this as my avatar.

1.If you do this for me i'll sign up for another year.
2.I never cause trouble in here.
3.I very rarely post in the general public forums.
4.I will be in here 3 years very soon.
5.And I have come to realize you are some kind of an administrative god.
6.I worship you URBY.
7.The girl in the jif is my sister,and she says it's ok.
8.You like it too.
9.Everybody else will like it too.
10.We need to do this Urb for the sake of the entire forum community.

haha she's your sister indeed :bouncy:

I'll throw another 6 months at the faq too,and i'll say (no towel)lol

tony needs a hobby

Hey either Tony or Jimmy

Can i get something like a hotpocket driving a redline V

something sig-like?

a hotpocket :rofl:

that one is all TTS

maybe a bottle of tobasco to go with the Chalupa theme:thumbsup:

for a long time all the guys called me hot pockets

or HP for short... thats what the flavor of the week thing started out as

Any particular flavor?

hmmmm....pepperoni pizza

hmmmm....pepperoni pizza.... my favorite! i'm hungry:~fridge:

I spent a good hour last night farting around with your request, man. I couldn't come up with anything that didn't look like a turd sitting inside a Redline V.

How about Bubb Rubb and Lil' Sis sitting in a CTS-V with lambo doors?

If it looks good I'll ditch my "Old Man Cadillac" avatar.

Here ya go:

Thank you so much! You the man!

Lol- I actually started doing that last night as an alternative. I'll finish it when I get home.


Silver Dollar: Here you go!

Omg Ahahha

also chop in that one guys idiotically mismatched STS fogs that cover his brake ducts :p

Thanks Tony!

You didn't even break a sweat on that one.

"Das jus fo decorations"

Okay, I did two different versions- use whichever you prefer.

I know nothing about the Dutch culture, so I used your flag to give it a Dutch theme. Hope you enjoy!

Tony, I love it!!! Thank you so much!!!! :bouncy: :thumbsup: :highfive:

Thank god you don't know anything about the Dutch culture; I would've ended up with a sig with tulips, cheese, windmills, wooden shoes, bridges, weed and hookers... ;)

mmm.... weed and hookers....

Hey Tony or Jimmy or whoever else, can you make my sig into something cool/better. Its way too dark and i suck at photoshop. Any way you could brighten it up a bit? Maybe make it look a little cooler, change up the HT4100 POWER font or something?

Heres the original image:

How is this? this was a quickie

How is this? this was a quickie

Sick! You are a god among men. Wow. Thats pretty much eaxtly what i was looking for. Maybe make it a little bigger? I dont know. I love it. Play with it some more if you want.

Tony could probably do better. I made it that size, because I think smaller is better with sigs.

where's my microwave dinner racing team pic... lol...

we told you, hot pockets are illegal in signatures....

Nice one, Jimmy. :thumbsup:

I'm a sucker for the 3D button effect, however.

I need to finish that. It looks pretty hilarious so far.

Nice one, Jimmy. :thumbsup:

ya, that is better, like a frame, use that one Jonas

i am digging the chrome overlay for text these days...

what version you use Tony?

CS2.

As I've said before, totally self taught. There's probably 1,000 things I could do with it that I don't know how to do, but I get by.

CS2.



thats what im using, its a hog, but some of the stuff you can do is amazing

I really like image ready, awesome for anigifs

For you Troy, if you are interested. You said you wanted a new avatar.

http://www.cooleywire.com/jimmyh/pics/avatar/xavatar.jpg

still pining away for that hotpockets banner

ok Corey, here ya go:

http://www.cooleywire.com/jimmyh/pics/sig/igotmeav.gif

lucky for you, work is still REALLY slow (usually just July, but August aint looking too good either)

make sure you rehost it if you are gonna use it, and make sure to give credit where credit is due :thumbsup:

Okay, okay....this was actually a bitch to make anything that looks good. When you shrink it to banner size you lose all the text and it just looks jumbled and fake. It looks awesome in its native size, but this is the best I could make it look small.

At your request, the entire front of the car is a Pepperoni Hot Pocket.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v692/Firebomba/hotpocket.jpg

^ Haha Jimmy- that's awesome! :thumbsup:

Both you guys do great work.:thumbsup::highfive::alchi:

Don't want to thread jack but how do you get an animated .gif in the signature?

thats amazing... i LOVE it... rofl

now that i got a slightly more reliable connection, i will make myself available to assist in the creation of customized images...if i am welcome to that is.

i use photoshop cs2 and consider myself moderately skilled but sometimes slow. you can see some of my work on the forums

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v692/Firebomba/hotpocket.jpg


ok, i know mine is animated, but Tony, DAMN! that is awesome! like a NASCAR V!!! Points! It would take me forever and then some to blend the graphics like that. if I knew you were working on one for him, i would not spent an hour making a cheesy gif, ah well, not like i had anything better to do at work...


Both you guys do great work.:thumbsup::highfive::alchi:

thank you, thank you very much :elvis1:


thats amazing... i LOVE it... rofl

no problem, and i was just playin, you dont have to actually credit me in your sig! it is yours now!


now that i got a slightly more reliable connection, i will make myself available to assist in the creation of customized images...if i am welcome to that is.

any and all hands are welcome... i am only making sigs for people right now because my business is really slow. once it picks up (please god please) i wont have as much time during the day for this forum. i rarely get time at night (right now is one of the rarelys) then it will just be Tony's show (aha, get it?)

Troy
this is the best I can do with the photo you sent me

It looks like you had that car wrapped vinyl!
:thumbsup:

I would like my car opening his mouth like pacman. Eating a SRT8 symbol and a cloud of smoke coming out of the exhaust. Is that a challenge?

Can anyone photoshop some C6 Corvette wheels on my Brougham? It would be greatly appreciated. It doesnt have to be perfect. Thanks guys!

http://www.tomstrongman.com/RoadTests/05CorvetteKC/Images/23Vette.jpg



And maybe these if you have time.


http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/121405_1.jpg

Sorry it took so long.

Hell yes! Thanks for the new desktop!

Although i think i'd go with the standard C6 rims. If you have time, maybe you could throw a set of those on there?

You do good work. Thanks.

Nice. He upraded you to rear discs too. :thumbsup:

if your gonna have c6 wheels, might as well have the brakes too eh?

the pictures you posted are too small, wrong angle, the ones I did were the best I could find simple searching.

I'll see if i can find a good candidate. That is really what i think im gonna do, get C6 wheels for my '85. Do a rear disk conversion too, so they look good. Only exterior mod i can see myself doing.

Anyone know if they will bolt right on or if its more complicated?

Those are the standard C6 wheels. New standard wheels on the 08s, Jonas :thumbsup:.

Tony, can you make the Vette move through the picture like you did Corey's?

Jimmy did Corey's, not me. I'll see what I can do tonight if Jimmy doesn't beat me to it.

all you tony, Jimmy is babysitting this weekend

O.K. Here's a challenge for you guys. I want a sig that morphs from my car to an XLR. Strip all the backgrounds, resize to fit, fluid morph back and forth -- whatever it takes. (OBTW, if you could 'shop in the lower grille screen that would help - I got the screen just haven't installed it yet, maybe next week)

there is software that does that, which I do not have

After seeing some of the really cool sigs you guys have done, I've come with one I'd like.

This can go to Jimmy or Tony, whoever wants to do it and has the time. Hope it's not too complicated (can't be harder than the V and the Hot Pockets can it?). If it is, let me know, and I'll simplify.

Basically, what I'd like are the backgrounds around the profiles of my Impala and my Cadillac knocked out (I posted two pictures of the Impala; use the one that works better) so all you see are the cars.

Then, put Hoover in both cars. I've uploaded a few pictures that kind of show his profile. Use whichever picture looks best. Or, if you have a better image of a yellow Lab, use that. Animate it so one car rolls in, then the next one, then they both roll out.

If you need any of these pictures larger so it's easier to trim them or whatever, let me know via PM and I'll e-mail them to you.

Thanks guys!

Ok, i have a project for you guys. I would even be willing to throw you a couple dollars for it.

I want to make a couple shirts up. And i need a nice design. I know basically what i want, but i welcome your creativity.


I want the back to read " TEAM SLUT, but in a very slutty looking script, in a bright red. Then i want the image below(beer pong dude) to be below it, and under that say "Sluttin it up since '07". I dont know, use your imagination. I would really appreciate it. :drool:

I uploaded to my photobucket account no problem, but when I try to put it in my signature here I get a message "Remote file is too large".

It is a rather large at 1.22mb

dont upload it here, just take the link from your photobucket account, and put IMG tags around it.

Thats exactly what I did.

CF is rejecting it saying the "Remote File Is To Large".

Well, now it took it.

Only thing I did different was refresh my control panel page.

I think something was goofy because when I hit "preview" it got a message saying I wasnt subscribed to any threads?????


Weird, but it seems to be working now.

Looks like you got it. In the future, follow instructions below:

http://www.cooleywire.com/jimmyh/pics/sig/sighowto.jpg

I got one for somebody if they're willing:

Bill Callahan standing there (head bigger like a bobblehead)


Have a black CTS-V run him over with Tom Osborne driving it (front windows down so you can see driver)
Followed by the Huskers logo

Kind of the idea I want. Feel free to run with it, make it better or whatever.
I'll look for pictures later if you need them.

Thanks.

I must know - what software do you use to make these? Once I get some original ideas together, I might be asking for one.

photoshop CS2 with imageready

Anything yet?...

what do you want, other than posting a pic, you didnt say what you want

Jimmy,

Well, I was gonna leave it up to you guys to get creative.. But since you asked, I guess the picture with the caddy crest for that year along with "1997 Cadillac Seville STS somewhere in the sig. Just be creative...

for gearhead

Jimmy,

I like the layout... Could you take out the busy background? (MaYBE USE A BLACK or DK GRAY BACKGROUND) so the crest and the name of the car stand out? ..Also could you add STS to the Seville at the bottom? I love the way it "SHINES" Haha

thats bad ass Jimmy
you do great work
