The "Photoshop Trek" thread is back!

[AJBryant]

Dammit, guys, they're not bobble heads. Can't you do better than that? And match the tones in the face to the rest of the picture? Jeez.

Nah. You see, I'm very new at this kind of thing, and I take pride in it, even if it's nowhere near the level of a professional. While there are professionals on this board, most of us are just fans who love a television show and honor it any way we can, whether it is with humor or genuine skill. Please, please stop with the harsh criticisms in a thread designed for fun, and where no one has intentionally bothered you in any way before you decided to become master art critic.

I like my little picture. I did it with Paint Shop Pro, something that's not near the high quality of Adobe Photoshop (although I do like it and it does have some good features), and like I said, I'm learning. The more I practice, the better I get. Then again, I don't look at this as an art house showcase. It's just a fun thread. That is all this is, and your criticisms are doing nothing more than insulting those, like myself, who just want to have fun and contribute. If you want high art, go to a website that offers it or start a thread of your own. Otherwise, enjoy this thread as it is. Either way, stop with the scathing criticisms toward people who aren't asking for a professional critique.

I like the Jib-Jab feel of some of these.

Your stuff looks like some of the animation from SouthPark. Learn to deal with criticism or don't post in a public forum.

And here's me thinking that this thread was supposed to be a bit of fun....

Anyhoo, I dug this one out from the recesses of my hard drive. I made it a couple of years ago:

Meh. I'm no professional and I don't pretend to be. Right now, you and AJ are the equivalent of seriously hardcore trek nerds crashing a casual trek gathering and deeming everyone unfit to watch Star Trek because they don't take it seriously enough. You are the ones crashing the party here. This thread is supposed to be a fun thread. You're making it "un" fun for a lot of people, including myself.

Anyhoo, enough of this, and back to the thread.


I just did this one today. It's my first attempt at putting myself in a trek uniform.

Actually, the Bill Murray thing looks halfway believable!

My only real issue with it was that I couldn't get the color down right. I pulled his image from the cover of a Stripes VHS box and then tied it in with ST:6's Captain Sulu. I just couldn't get the lighting right.

A few new ones with Pegg as Scotty.

To add, I wanna thank all the posters who were so kind to complement the work I'm doing here. It's the fuel that keeps me going.

BTW, all the faces are completely Pegg; no part of it is Doohan.

 

[Amaris]

I love the middle pic. He looks exactly like Jimmy Doohan's Scotty when the Enterprise was called a garbage scow.

Great job!

^Very nice. Both the Pegg Scotty ones, and the ones below them. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I have this in the Caption contest in another thread, but I wanted to drop it in here, too.

Plus, everyone likes snacks.

[John Picard]

That look is just HYSTERICAL.

This is a CLASSIC.

OK, you've jumped on me for busting your balls, but this garnered a hearty chuckle from me. :thumbsup:

Y'know, I had *exactly that same face* after a particuarly challenging bowl of chili once.
