Calling all photoshoppers..

anyone able to make all the lines in this image black for me?

are you asking for like everything colored to be black or you want a an outline of everything in black?

whatever you want to do man... basically i'm getting this tattooed on in under a week so i have that much time to decide on the color scheme.. i dont know what to do other than all black but like i feel it might loose too much of its essence and look flat ya know? feel free to change the color scheme a million different ways man..

Adobe Photoshop is the wrong tool for what you're asking for.

You'd have better luck asking for someone with Adobe Illustrator skills.

Overall, if you're getting it tattooed you should take it to your artist.
They are going to have to redraw it anyway, so you can save a step and just have your tattoo artist do it for you.

by it's already drawn i mean the stencil is already drawn to the size he's going to do. the stencil is drawn with all black outlines but he said he can easily go over any of the lines in any color, it's just a matter of deciding on what to do ya know

Do I get anything out of this?

Live trace is for suckers

What application did you use CR? Looks great.

YES! reps, lol, for what they're worth. if i could give you a high five i would do that as well but you'll have to settle for reps. Seriously though man that looks great, i dont know if i'll do it like that it kinda looses a little bit in the lips and grenade/flower dont ya think?

Sure I would like to see it in Grayscale.

I got bored and kind of redid it anyways.

fwiw, interesting tat choice.

Both modifications look nice.

It's a great picture you have chosen for your tattoo. full of meaning. have you then got it inked? how did it come out?


For CrimsonRequiem - beginner question: why di you need to use both application? was photoshop not enough?

Major Necro posting >_<".

I use both because it's a bad habit. Normally it would be all Illustrator, but I like the pen tool in Photoshop when I'm working with a Wacom Tablet.

The bad part with working in photoshop is that sometimes you get too many points. That's when the file size starts to get big on you. Plus vector artwork is about quality of line with the least amount of points.

When I bring it into Illustrator I can simplify the artwork further. Reducing the file size and making it look smoother.

I see you. I feel quite comfortable with photoshop but I haven't even started studying illustrator yet. Even if I know the meaning of vector artwork, pixels and the main differences between the two software, I still haven't got it completely. Thanks for spending time explaining to me

Here's another that has more of the background art.

I see this thread is from December of 08. Has anyone heard of the "artist" that does these OBEY drawings and merch?

There was a large thread on one forum debating his credibility since he's using other famous artists' artwork and adding a slogan and changing one or two little things, then selling the works for profit.

There is always controversy over artist when they do stuff that resembles someone else artwork. It's considered a homage to the original.
