Already had yours Jeeber, and I actually only need about 13 more now. The people I don't have anything from are as follows:

Marmel
StKelly
Havok
Heavy Reign
The Afoci
Schmidty
Bbor
WSUCougars
TLK
JHandley
Fido
Taco
Coffee Warlord

If you don't have anything yet let me know and I (and I'm sure cuervo will be willing to help) will look at getting something together for you.

Is there someone here who can convert the following image into my team colors (Black, Silver, Dark Blue) and put this on a helmet so I can see what it looks like?

I have to images in my head, first the "C" being silver and pasted on the blue helmet Cuervo posted above.

And the second of the C being in dark blue with a silver helmet (Detroit Lionsesque).

I'll get on it.

My helmet is somewhere in this thread and on all my posts on the other board...... If you need me to post it here say the word.....

Hmm... No need, I'd already had yours on file. My mistake.

samifan24 · 10-26-2003, 03:47 AM

This might be rediculously ignorant of me, but how do you guys make those helmets? I could have hours of fun making fantasy helmets if I could only figure out how.....

3ric · 10-26-2003, 04:44 AM

I think cuervo gives a few hints on how he does it ~~on page 7~~ of this thread...

Edit: correction, I found it on the bottom of page 9...

I'll take the gray one (Durham Bulldogs) shown above.

Schmidty · 10-26-2003, 01:41 PM

Can I just use the helmet that Render altered for me on page 9? I'd like to spiffy it up even more, but I have no graphics skill at all.

cuervo72 · 10-26-2003, 10:18 PM

Neuqua, I didn't get exactly what you described, but I think this might be pretty close for the second helmet you described (the "C" is gray, because blue didn't quite work with the blue border the letter had once I changed some colors).

Neuqua · 10-27-2003, 12:01 AM

Looks just fine, thanks a lot Cuervo!

cuervo72 · 10-27-2003, 07:48 AM

You're welcome Neuqua.

Here's one for CW, request by way of mckerney.

Coffee Warlord · 10-27-2003, 08:53 AM

CW likeys. Lovely bit 'o work.

cuervo72 · 10-27-2003, 09:00 AM

Thanks, though it was pretty well set up already with an existing logo and helmet. The only thing was making the skull blueish.

Coffee Warlord · 10-27-2003, 09:31 AM

How the hell you do the shadowing effects, anyway? That's the only thing I could not get to work in Photoshop.

The Afoci · 10-27-2003, 09:36 AM

Here is my new helmet thanks to Eilim!

Fear the Crawfish!

cuervo72 · 10-27-2003, 09:44 AM

Well, the shadowing on the bottom is taken from the base image used on the Helmet Project site, it serves as the background in photoshop (enlarged and blurred a little). The shadowing on the helmet itself was done by making a black to transparent gradient (had to play with this a bit), and then cutting it to first be an overlap on the helmet (like a silhouette), and then using an oval to cut the rest of it and make a curve. Depending on how dark the helmet is, play with the opacity of the layer. The spotlight was just a white circle that was radial blurred or something like that.

Anyway, I posted a template in another thread, but here it is again. Should make things pretty easy.

Wolfpack · 10-27-2003, 11:43 AM

Tasan: In a fictitious league I had one time I had the San Antonio Lone Stars. The logo I had developed had the Texas state flag with a script "Lone" and "Stars" in the red and white sections, respectively. Not quite Alamo-related, but it was what came out of the Battle of the Alamo after a time, if you think about it.

cuervo72 · 10-29-2003, 09:42 AM

MrBug - if you're still looking for a helmet/logo, the San Diego Surge of the WSFL (don't know if they actually existed though) had a wave on theirs.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have Photoshop but will be purchasing Elements very soon so I can look forward to that.

Woohoo!! Post #500!! Halfway to the strippers, eh?

Tasan · 10-30-2003, 01:11 AM

A great, free alternative to Photoshop is The Gimp, an opensource pic editor. It has tons of functions, and gets updated all the time. Find it here:

http://www.gimp.org/

You'll see a lot of Linux references there, but there is a windows port as well. You can find a link for the download there, or try this:

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

I like trying to show the opensource alternative whenever I can.
