Jedi Roll Call

Darth Cruel · Jul 3, 2007

Let's see your group shots everyone. My end intention is to take a shot of all of the Jedi (that we have recieved at the time) in a group shot with some kneeling and some standing. But not all in the same pose. Maybe then another with them fighting together (not against each other...maybe like back-to-back). But I also like the simple, neutral poses. They can send a message if they are done correctly.

This is a good idea. I think the best one so far was Maulfans controversial class picture.

I would like to see that...where is it?

Darth Madden · Jul 4, 2007

I know he posted a couple and I don't know for sure if this is the one BadMoon is talking about but its the one I saved.

MaulFan · Jul 4, 2007

That's the reinterpretation someone else made. I don't have the original anymore but this was the photo for it.

MaulFan · Jul 4, 2007

This is my reproduction of a ROTS Promo Image using the Sideshow figures.

BadMoon · Jul 4, 2007

Yep that's the class pic. I love that shot! Maul do you have any tutorials on PS the sabers?

Darth Sheba · Jul 4, 2007

What's so controversial about that pic, other than it's a canon-buster?

Darth Caedus · Jul 4, 2007

I like how Qui-Gon's arm is on Maul's shoulders. :lol

The content wasn't the controversy. Another artist took my original image and made the one Madden posted and I made a comment on it that blew up with few people who had no business getting involved, the artist and I cleared things up and it's over now.

The settings vary from image to image, but basically I do it in 4 layers.

Top to Bottom:

White Blade
Tint of saber color very close to white for small glow around the blade
Blade color with layer mode set to Screen
Blade color (larger than first blade color layer) with layer mode set to screen and opacity at about 50%

So thats what it was... I couldn't remember all the details either. Maybe I should save your version and ditch the other one.

On another note I wish to heck I had photoshop (and good photography skills) so I could do cool pictures like these.

MaulFan · Jul 4, 2007

Don't worry about it, it's water under the bridge at this point. Photoshop is nice, and fun, but certainly not cheap, it's like $500, I only have it cuz it's my profession but if i were just casually messing around I probably wouldn't invest in it. Same goes for my camera equipment and everything, it's for my career, I just use it on my collectibles and in turn it helps me improve skills and learn new things.

Captain Faramir · Jul 4, 2007

That's why I can't wait to more! Always the best dude.

Actually, it's more like $800 if you don't have an existing upgradable version.

Yeah, I remember the night that modified picture popped up. Quite a few insults and profanities thrown around. Peacemakers and agitators getting into the thick of it with mixed results.

Certainly wasn't pretty.

That's why I'm glad I watermark nearly everything...

I said that's what it goes for, I never said what I spend or don't

Darth Cruel · Jul 4, 2007

Just the same, MF...awesome work! I will very likely not get PS unless I can find an outdated version cheap. But I do like to take pics of the collection.
