Just For Fun - My Toy Manips

[Darth Sheba]

Sometimes I like to get a liitle dramatic with some of the toy pics I find online. A few I've done:

SS Qui-Gon (http://www.darthsheba.com/misc/master_jedi2.jpg)
Hasbro Barriss & Shaak Ti (http://www.darthsheba.com/bb/bb051.jpg)
Koto Maul (http://www.darthsheba.com/obb/obb002.jpg)
Medicom Luke (http://www.darthsheba.com/bb/bb048.jpg)

Looks awesome to me. I like the effects you've added to those.

[Batty]

Very nice looking! I'm not going to tell you what I thought Manips were.

[Darth Sheba]

:lol

Maybe I should have been clear. It's photoshopping (though I'm using Photoshop Elements).

I might have to go through the hi-res pic thread for more SS stuff. :D

[lcummins]

Excellent job! I can't wait to see more! :emperor

Greats stuff man, but how are you making the lightsaber effects?

[carbo-fation]

Looks really awesome! What software are using for the effects?

[darthviper107]

It's Photoshop.

Really it's quite easy to do lightsabers, most people don't realize it.

Here's a tutorial on how to do it with After Effects (a video editing program) and Photoshop (image editing).

You can cut out the characters from the image by using the Polygonal Lasso tool in photoshop or by using the Extract tool availible in versions CS (8.0) and CS2.

I use Photoshop Elements 1.0, so my technique is somewhat different. I guess I'll do my own tutorial some day. :)

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought "manips" was a new contraction that had been invented:

If not, then maybe it is now... :google

Deke: very nice! Luke seems to think so, too. :p :lol

Ahhh, but he didn't have his cloak on the Death Star!

Continuity, Continuity:nono

I thought the same thing. Weird.

[Darth Sheba]

*sigh*

Do I need to change the title, or can I do that this late?

EDIT: Can't change it. Oh well...

I really like this one. I made it my wallpaper :D

[Darth Sheba]

I don't think it's big enough for wallpaper by itself, but if you figured out a way to use it, that's cool. :D

what i did was right click and set it as my background and *puff* there it is. :D

[Darth Sheba]

I keep forgetting people might want them as wallpaper, so they're all strange sizes. I might redo some of the most viewed as wallpapers someday.
