    ???

    No Pippen photo was used at all in this one. I take it as a compliment though that you think it's a photo. [​IMG]

    This is the original photo:

    [​IMG]

    Literally, the uniform drawn on Mo is about 30-40 different layers in photoshop. Piece here, piece there, rotated pieces, a lot of blending pieces together as well as a lot of pixel-by-pixel drawing. The bottom of the uniform is hand-drawn as well as above the Rocket logo to below the tops of the uniform.

    Most of the pieces came from 3 different Francis photos -- one of Barkley I think.

    Clutch, how long did it take you to do that?

    Don't you have anything better to do?

    well then, I'm going to have to go find the Pippen photo, and put Mo's head on it and tatoos in under 5 minutes with 3 layers...hehe.

    if I can just find it again. Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure Cherokee was guarding Pippen as well.

    'Pimp -- about 3-4 hours for the bulk of it with other things on the site pulling me here and there... after that a few hours of brushing up small elements of it and then running it by a few people for first impressions, etc.

    heypartner -- I'd love to see the 5-minute rendition [​IMG]

    gascon - thanks.

    I invented Post-It notes, so basically I just sit on my ass all day and draw Mo Taylor pics [​IMG]

    J/K. Web programmer and designer. I have the site to thank for that too -- I was studying Mechanical Engineering when I started the site in '96. Completely changed my life.

    Clutch I have a question to ask. Do you know what # mo is going to wear or did he not say anything?

    Pippen would have been a jerk no matter what number he wore.

    That's alot to read out of a photo. I thought that the color of the outline was symbolic of how ClutchCity has grown. The empty seats... the missing posters like Barzilla that aren't with us today. The tilt of Cherokee's ankle a slight of hand... that the Rockets rebuilding has come at the detriment of the Grizzlies organization.

    Cool. I was studying Electrical Engineering and went to programming/QA in a similar manner. That was the biggest and best decision I think I ever made. I'm having a lot more fun doing this and making a lot more money. Can't beat that. [​IMG]
