Gotta Love the Foo

I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I, I'm a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

Gotta love the Foo Fighters! Dave Grohl is simply amazing, so musically talented. I admire him to far extents. =]

Hopefully he's recognizable, even though his eyes are closed. (Well, he mostly sings with his eyes closed anyway, lol). xD

So, this vexel almost got the best of me. Lol. Lineart, textures, gradients, tiny details. Ah! Finally happy it's done. I'm rather proud of it. ^__^ C&C appreciated as always. ;]

Adobe Photoshop CS2. Luckily, I found the photo on Google on a total whim. Yay, it had everything I wanted to vexel, from his headphones to the cd player and the cigarettes. Background is from sxc.hu.

Hope you enjoy; any Foo fans out there?

Christabel 21 Apr 06 - 03.25am	He is the sht man... this is absolutely fantastic, and instant fav :D Someone's gotta tell me how to get those gradients on the clothing ... heh ^_^ Reply from* Hurrah, thanks! =] Dave kicks a**! For gradients I just kinda make paths into selections and use the gradient tool...not sure if that's the right way though. Heh.
Sayuri 21 Apr 06 - 03.19am	i just LOVE your style. HOW DO YOU DO IT?!?! nudge nudge i'd say the only thing that you have left to master is hair. yep. and how'd you get that texture on his denim jacket? i'm supposing you overlayed a pattern on top, but what does the pattern look like? looks superb. Reply from Yay, thanks so much! =] Yeah, I agree on the hair. I kinda got lazy, heh. For the texture, I overlayed a pattern on top of the jacket and sharpened it a little. I used the displace filter too that kinda formed it to the original photo's jacket texture better. The actual pattern is the denim one that comes with Photoshop. ;] Hope that makes sense. Heh.
painfullyuncool 21 Apr 06 - 03.15am	wow the jacket looks amazing. it had to be hard! Reply from Heh, yea it was. I thought I was never going to finish it! Lol.
