I wonder if he could do something with that Austin 3:16 in the back??? Make it say RVR 3:16 or something?

Knowing Rip, I have no doubt. Dude is great at that.

If he can't... I probably can.

(p.s. Rip I didn't forget about your other thing... I just haven't been home a lot... I'll look into it later tonight)

Glad you liked it man... haha! Was the head too big? LOL! I forgot if I told you or not that I sat on the plane ride over from Charlotte with WWE ref Charles Robinson, WWE ref! Great dude and fun conversation the whole ride. When Mrs. Rip walked past and saw she wasn't sitting next to hubby, Charles turned to me and said, "Hey, if I don't get to sit next to a hot girl, neither do you." Haha...

Oh, you are SOOOO my new best friend... haha! It's perfect now! I'm pretty weak and new to Photoshop, but am getting better. Believe it or not, I haven't even gotten to working with layers yet, I'm so far behind. The letters are awesome... those can be very tough for me to do. Maybe you can give me lessons!

Rock on!!!

I did the letters in MS Paint - if it's not something I need to look perfect, it's easier. Dirtier, but easier; just set the view to 200% or more, and use the 'eyedropper' function to match the colours.

Stu, you look awesome..

RIP, you did a great job...

Thanks Carol!! But you are going to give me a swollen head...WAIT...Rip already did that! ROFLMAO!

I think the sign should say "SCS" for Stone Cold Stu.

Changing 'SOB' to 'SCS' is actually pretty easy - but I'm leaving it until requested

It is a little out of porportion on the head, but at least he did not give you the "mullet"! Good work Rip! :lol:

I am telling you I look like I was hanging out with Bonds and Canseco!

It may be a tad large for the body, but I think it's just swollen from the huge pop you get from the crowd everytime you enter the ring... haha! A piledriver or two should fix that. But remember, I think Austin is shorter than you, so I think it looks pretty good... haha!

Whoa... I thought I was the only one who used MS Paint! Between Paint, IrfanView and Photoshop Elements, I've got a little routine going. With custom lettering, what I have difficulty with is when they are more complex, like if they have a border. I was especially proud of this one, where I literally made the extra letters using pieces/parts of others, and then touched them up pixel by pixel in Paint. This was done entirely in Paint:

I can now see how the Austin lettering might be easier than I thought, as worst case you could just create a background from that texture and sort of carve out the letters. Looks great!

I'm struggling with another one how that Bluejeangirl is helping me with -- it's along the same lines as above, but it's the custom letters that were hanging me up. If you'd like a shot at it, be happy to forward it over. I know she's been swamped.

I still have the scraps I used to make that one, and will fix the head tonight, but using the latest version of the pic for the base. Should be pretty quick and easy, but if anyone wants to take a shot before then, feel free. There is also a small area right beneath the neck that doesn't make sense that could be blended in a bit better -- not too noticeable, though -- just not perfecto.
