count me in... if you wanna see if i'm up to scratch I have a thread here with a lot of my work or a flickr account... http://www.flickr.com/photos/brocknroll/

I'd induct Tito not for his fighting, but for being one of the two main guys, along with Liddell, that really helped cause the MMA boom. In my eyes, those were the two guys that really put it in the public eye. It's kinda like when the NFL inducts someone for 'contributions to the game' or whatever.

THIS (Y)

I cannot stand Tito Ortiz! every time he loses he has an excuse as to why.. just man up and say the better man won.. but he and liddell were really two of the big faces during the MMA boom.. The first MMA fight i saw was when Ortiz decimated Ken Shamrock and I was instantly hooked on the sport

That final scene was so hardcore that part of me actually wonders if Paquin and Moyer were fucking for real. Hey, they're together in real life, and if you're going to have a crew of people film you naked while thrusting on your significant other, you might as well do the real thing, right?

I think we should all just agree this is what happened

Oliver Kahn?

<br />

<br />Name the first black tennis player to win the US Open.<br />

<br />Bunch of chauvinistic pigs.<br /><br />Althea Gibson beat Ashe by about a decade.<br />

technically they weren't the US open til 1968.. before that they were the U.S Championships

The first guy to win it was black.... umm american fellow... arthur something bahhh damn my laziness for not looking it up

Pavlich will dominate and Dockers by 20 points ad thhts being you got me lions with fevola shot and a pure wanker and no j brown so you never know.

Nearly got the margin right :-p

Richmond are one of the most in form teams in the comp... yet are still second last lol

Yeah he had a clen stright break which is good news not like the Nathan Brown one.

Yeah I haven't watched this one, the Nathan Brown one was shocking though, he was never the same player after that.

I hope it isn't the same for Barlow as he has been sensational in his first year. he does have age on his side, he is only 22 I think.

Legs breaking every where Barlow and Ziebell in the AFL and my local team has had 2 leg breaks (tib and fib) in the space of three weeks. One a 27 year old who won't ever play again and one an 17/18 year old who would have been pretty close to B&F in the colts.

To use a rugby league example The Sydney Roosters were in 4 grand finals over the 5 seasons spanning 2000 to 2004.

Only one one premiership at their second attempt in 2002 and then they followed that up with 2 straight grand final losses.

I'm a Dragons fan in the NRL and they seem to be just as frustrating. always up the top of the table but never turn it into a premiership.

I think I might be a curse only two of my teams through out the world have won their championship in the colts and devils but even they have choked a few times.

Back onto footy... who actually thinks Richmond can beat Fremantle.. all of a sudden they are coming the fan favourites of my work place in the tipping comp... I'm a supporter and can't see them winning this week especially with Cuz the human headline machine probably not playing

Fair post.

We shall see what the rest of the year holds.

Would be interesting to see the Hawks beat the Cats again I feel. Then both teams are equal on 2 grand final wins in the last 4 years but the Hawks would have a 2-0 grand final record against the Cats in that same time period. The Hawks would be at 100% winning record in grand final appearences over the 4 year period but the Cats would be at 50%.

You can't argue the Cats have been THE team over the last half decade but it's interesting to think of the above, assuming it does end up that way(and there are no guarantees it will).

If the cats don't win the GF this year one could argue that they are the new Essendon... after dominating so long for just 2 grand final wins... (yes i know the bombers only had one)

I think the battle for the spoon is now intensifying... Richmond look a shadow of themselves and West Coast really look like the worst team in the comp, next to Port Adelaide maybe

I'm not going to support this sport until Gold Coast starts... Then that'll be my team... I don't care if I live in Geelong...

Well Gold Coast will have Geelongs best player next year

might be something in there

Since there are a few new faces in here thought I would throw in a few of my updates

Tutorial inspired work

Giggs sig for a friend

NYR Fanfic poster for someone here

more tutorial inspired work

First typographic banner

Supernatural sig

Your definately not going the right way about getting comments on your work.

Asking will only get you a warning, then ban.

Scorpion one - Too high contrast for my liking, apart from that it isn't too bad for a beginner

Assassins Creed- Looks just as good as the Scorpion one, text is missing something IMO

Justin Gabriel/Otunga - Not a fan of using the same cuts over and over again, and in the otunga one the strip probably shouldn't go over his face.

They're both very good for a beginner. The Gabriel one is pretty impressive... Love what you did with the colours.

Thanks for your feedback. At least i'm getting good feedback in my early stages of using Photoshop.

But I have a question for you GFX veterans. What's the line brush used in this sig? The lines above the blue rising sun brush.

Looks more likr a pattern overlay to me.. the white ones that is.

Not sure what overlay, but for my taste it is far too busy

If it is just for use online then the resolution shouldn't be more than 72.. because that's what a computer screen sees it as.

so yeah drop the resolution to 72 and save it at about 8-10 quality

I like Hayley Williams, I like the cuts, but the background doesn't sit well with me.. looks to dirty for my liking.

But each one has got better in my opinion

Top stuff Kirkland your leading the charge in saving the GFX board :-p

The cuts are good, I would have made just one sig using all three cuts.. have the main one in the middle in front and then set the other two behind faded or blending into the background.

Also the text just looks tacked on there. 'Daffney' should be the largest part and 'Zombie Hot' should have been smaller and maybe in a more plain text.

That is just my opinion though

There is this website out there, not sure if it is big or not... the address is www.google.com you can search things on the aforementioned website such as 'photoshop text effects'

One of the better tutorial sites i have found though is psdtuts.com. spoonfed graphics is another good one as is psdfan.com

Ahhh the NRL season, time for the Dragons to give me so much hope again only for them to do nothing come finals. They are the Colts of the NRL

A day to remember have the hardcore sound with a bit of singing as do Escape the Fate but they are probably considered emo

that looks amazing mate. I only wish I could draw like that.

I have wanted to get some ink done for quite sometime but can't decide what to get done and when I have an idea I can't put it on paper.

Well done, if you get it done, make sure you post pics of it

not that anyone looks here these days but I've been busy working on another Silva poster

you need more scantily clad women on your cover idol :-p

theres some hot snow boarder girls out there right... torah bright springs to mind...except she is morman and straight edge so probably no pics of her in a bikini on a snow board... *checks google* nope ... FUCK

I like the first one the best, the second one is kinda hard to read, would go well with the young crowd I thin as it reminds me of the electric visual logo. the final logo is good but doesn't suit the snowboarding scene.

very nice work tho Idol
