Though now I do feel slightly guilty for not adding a forth figure somewhere in the middle of Torres in a Athletico shirt. Ah well.

What? if we paid 3M for him, you could feel a bit guilty, but for the money that's been paid, he's well and totally red now no need to paint his former club shirt.

Excellent work

I suppose you're right there, Sabre. Thanks!

How long does that take you to make?
How many layers do you use?
What pen tablet do you have? And how much is it?

I've always wanted to get one of those and have a go.

That picture there took around 9 hours to do, not non stop.

Layers? Depends. I've only just found out how to use them in photoshop, and when I did, I realised that you have to avoid underlying layers with opaque colours as it conflicts with the layer over the top. It was a pain in the :censored:

, but I figured it out. Before I just used one layer, but now I realise just how much more depth I can get when using them. For this image, I used 8 transparant layers and a background. 2 for each body, like the shirts and faces. You can see me turning some of them off during the video.

I use a Wacom Volito 2. It's probably the cheapest of that brand, but it's excellent value, and you really don't need much more than that as you can see the results from it. It cost me 27 quid on ebay. You can get them for about £30 or there abouts.

Emerald I just forked out for that Bamboo thing yesterday, I must have caught the impulsive buy thing off the misses but I was so wrapped up in what you produced I didnt think of anything else.

Then I realised you have to be a f.ucking top nothc artist to produce stuff like that ! Then when I downloaded Photoshop yesterday I also realised you have to be an aeronautical enginner to work the f.ucker out !

Kin ell I'm gonna have my hands full with this lot

so if you've got anymore tips regarding the use of tools from Photoshop they would fully be appreciated.

Again mate your work looks class, nice one fella !

OMG.
Not only is he sharing his work of art here, he unselfishly shared with us also his knowledge and tools of the trade, willingly.
This fella is Made in Heaven.

Thanks ER.

I spent about 15 minutes typing a description for this picture, but my Firefox crashed before I could post. B@llocks! :veryangry

I'll type it back up later, bamaga.

By the way, the initials on the picture is SR, not ER.
