Need some help with prOn!

[Drozd]

Drozd,
Maybe a silver background.... I'm just thinking out loud here so bear with me.... I'm picturing a "target" shape background where the concentric rings are gray gradients (i.e. light silver->med dark silver, next ring would be med silver->dark silver). Make sense? Rings that are not solid but instead fade (either in or out) so that the background is primarily silver but yet the rings are subtly visible (but not distractingly so!). This might also allow for minimizing detail loss when the logo color closely matches the background color.

I'd take a stab at it but I've got to do some real work on this:
And I also have a couple other things to tackle first. If nobody else gets it done first (Houidini, 420, Waffle, Etc....???) I'll try to take a stab tomorrow.

That's cool..and I can picture what you're saying and that very well might work...that's kinda why I'm asking you all image guys..I just wanted to really get rid of the white without introducing too off point color..

Michaelle, keep in mind the Little Chuck is slightly taller than "wide" (while the regular Chuck is even taller!). Your image is a landscape orientation while the Chuck is portrait (almost square for little Chucks but still portrait). You'll probably need to consider cropping some of either side off the image (I'd personally crop the building and keep the flowers). Just my thoughts.

Thanks so much MastiffMike, I LOVE IT! I will crop the house off. You are so nice for doing this for everyone. It can be really difficult to visualize on a flat surface. Thanks again

 

[MastiffMike]

OK Drozd,

Here's some variations of what I was trying to describe yesterday. Your logo is portrait shaped and therefore would fit best on a regular Chuck (istead of the little Chuck). I also went with an oval background to better fit the logos shape.

Let me know if I'm on the right track?
They're in no particular order (I have my favorite but it might not be yours)

 

[MastiffMike]

Here's a more simplified background:

 

[Drozd]

I'm down with the second and fourth one (with a leaning toward the fourth)...maybe a CF background behind the target shape instead of the solid background and it'd be perfect..

Here's a cropped version if you need it. So the whisps of hair on the right didn't just end like that I added some on the left to make it look like it wraps around.

 

[MastiffMike]

maybe a CF background

CF? Carbon Fiber? Maybe I'm not awake yet!?!?

Oh and there is a slight oval gradient to the background but in order to make the seam less jarring I tried to keep the background fairly plain. I can play some more with it though...


Gosh darn quotes getting screwed up!!!!

Y'all are so talented!!!

I like the 4th version of the logo with the purple maybe being just a smidge lighter than it is. (Maybe closer to the color of the simplified version.)

And I love doctoring the hair on the other picture to make it look better when it wraps. Brilliant.

 

[MastiffMike]

Nice job Houdini (again!). The hair's a nice touch but the rest of the image isn't seamless. Get to work and make it truely seamless!!!

 

[MastiffMike]

Poeia,
Like this?

Houdini,
I really appreciate you doing this, I have it saved to my computer. Will be ordering hopefully Monday

Yeah CF = carbon fiber...
I dunno just trying to move away from a plain background..I think

 

[Houdini]

Well here's a little bit more seamless. The flowers and the background coloring should be close to seamless. Uh-Oh, is this gonna be a new request from everybody? Oh no, what have I done!

 

[MastiffMike]

Houdini, hope you don't mind, I took your image and tweaked the seams a little

From:

To:

Your's was great and probably just fine for a Chuck but I thought I'd take a stab at blending it a little more.

Here's the image alone:

Not perfect but should be fine for a Chuck.

 

[MastiffMike]

Drozd,

Here's just a quickie texture added. I'm going to watch Westminster and will re-look at it after (and will try out a CF look then too!)

 

[Drozd]

yeah I'm thinking the carbon fiber texture added to that night be right on..
something like one of the carbon fiber texture 2 from here:
FREE! Carbon Fiber Wallpaper ebin

EDit: and enjoy watching westminster

 

[MastiffMike]

Let me know what you think. Also, would it be ok if I did a slight fade on the thighs so she doesn't look so much like an amputee?

 

[Wafflestomper]

Anyone know how to create a metallic color in PS? Trying to get this in a metallic gold, I can get close but mine keeps coming out flat and has no pop.

 

[Drozd]

#3 definitely..
And fade out/away as you like...it's looking perfect..
What'd it look like wrapped on the chuck though..

 

[Belletrist]

i'll give it a go...
