I posted this request awhile back, and far as I can tell it has not been picked up so I thought I would repost it. It is for a NPC character, an Half-orc Sumo (Hybrid Fighter/Monk)
.
Well, I'lll take a shot at it, although I might not be able to pull it off. That's a fairly large and very photorealistic image, so it's kind of a tough project and is going to take some time to finish. I'm reasonably sure my freehand skills are sufficient to redo his face, although I may or may not be able to find a suitable spiked glove. In any event, I won't be able to get around to starting it until probably next weekend, so if anyone else wants to take a shot at it before then, go for it...
Hello Mad_jack and company, now that the holiday madness is over i thought I would check back in to see if anyone had taken on my request. Mad_jack, I apologize for not responding to your responce sooner. the spiked guantlet is not super important, it would just be a little extra icing on the cake , if you could in addition to the nose job and tusk additions, would it be possible to give his eyes a slightly blood shot appearance.
Thanks in advancet o Mad_jack or whom ever takes this on.

Hello all. I was hoping to get an edit of this picture, namely removing the sword from it and filling in the missing parts. If there is something you think would look appropriate to be in his hands that'd be fine, but if not, empty would be great too. Thanks.

Hi all, one of my friends loaned me his lap top, with a copy of Photbie installed on so I thought I would give one of my past requests a go, and share it with you. This is for a Half-orc Hybrid Fighter/monk sumo flavered build I started with this as the base Spoiler:
Show
I then croped the snout and a bit of tusk from this Spoiler:
Show
I then played with the saturation levels, recololered a little, and a this is what I have ended up with so far. Spoiler:
Show
I am however having trouble putting a spiked gauntlet on his hand, and removing the text from the image, and I would like to give him a little of blood shot eye treatment, but have not figured out out to accopmlish that as yet, so if you guros could help me with those aspects I would greatly appreciat it. Thanks in advance

Here's the original full-sized pic with the text removed... I was actually working on this one when you posted your version, but after I removed the text I shrank it down to a smaller version because I was drawing it in freehand. Didn't have time to make the eyes bloodshot. You can cut-and-paste the bottom part of this image onto yours.

Never found a spiked glove for the hand. The best way to remove text from an image, assuming you can't just grab a piece (or multiple pieces) of the background from nearby and paste it over the text, is to use the clone tool - start from the outside at a corner and take off the outer edge of the text along that side. Carve off little slices. Work from the outside in, going around the outer edge. Do a little bit at a time, or else you'll be able to tell the area's been cloned since details will repeat themselves. The more complex the area under the text (words crossing over a sign on the wall behind a guy in a jacket, across his shirt which has a picture on it, and then over a bush, for example) the more often you'll need to change the position of the cloning target, so as to get the closest possible sample to match what should be in the area covered by the text - if you don't change the position of the target whenever you change the direction you're moving the clone tool, the details you're cloning won't like up right. If there's a detail in the picture that the text is covering (say, if the text crosses over the border between a jacket and the shirt underneath it), place the clone tool target over it and place the circle over the text, then trace the target along that detail towards the text. This will copy that detail over the text - basically drawing the edge of the jacket over the text. When using the surrounding area to cover text, it's important to alternate coming from one side of the text to the other and working each edge a bit at a time so that eventually they all meet in the middle, so that you can more accurately fill in the details that the text is passing over. When you do a bit of one side and then a bit of the other, not only do the colors tend to match up better but it's easier to see just where and how the two sides will meet in the middle. Whenever you clone something, set the transparency of the clone tool fairly high, otherwise when you overwrite something on the picture the edges of your pass will be extremely visible. I usually set the transparency to about 65% and make two passes over an area rather since it blends it better. The key to making it look like the text was never there is to make sure all the details you've filled in line up and flow smoothly from one edge of the area to the other. This takes practice, and there's definitely an art to it. Sometimes - either because the text is huge and covering a large area or because it crosses a number of different objects/people/background areas in complex ways - you will end up having to sketch in the underlying details by hand.

Thats awsome sauce, Mad_jack, and thanks for the editing tip, you wouldn't have any tips on how to give eyes a blood shot appearance would you?

Hey Mad_jack and fellow image editing guru's and fans I took what you did with the original image (thanks for removing the text), and made some modifications using the free downloadable Photobie image editing software. I Started with this Spoiler:
Show
took this set of spiked gauntlets and croped bits and pieses, Spoiler:
Show
and pasted them back together, to end up with this. o croped the snout and tusks from a wild boar photo and pasted them in for the nose job and dental treatment Spoiler:
Show
I am rather pleased with the end results, andthought that I would share them with all of you. I hope you like it.

Hello, I have been trying to find a picture for my character for days, without success. I'm playing a male elven archer cleric of Desna living in a desert-like country, and all I found are either Legolas clones or bikini-like elven babes, most of them with blond or white hairs...And poor Aegel is nothing like that. So if someone is able to find a picture of a chain-shirt clad elven archer with tanned skin, long black hair and orange eyes (think Rayek from elfquest for the colors  ) I would be particularly happy. Likewise, if one is able to equip him with an elven looking longsword and a starknife  in addition to his longbow, I would be even more happy. Using the symbol of his godess  either on him or somewhere in the picture (having stars, moon and butterfly in the background could do the trick) Valenar elves from Eberron could be a good starting point, but, most illustration were female (like here www.wizards.com/leaving.asp?url=/dnd/ima...) and were lacking a chain shirt, or have the character's face hidden beneath some clothing... I'm serioulsy considering using Elder Scroll IV Oblivion to model it, but it will be a pain just to reinstall the game and the mods and find all the stuff I need, and the video-game look is not that good.
