Re: Attn Photoshop/Art Gods: Help me design new wrestling gear!

Wow.

Difficult: drawing/designing wrestling gear.

Extra Difficult: Making it not look like something Napoleon Dynamite might wear.

Insane Difficulty: Limited to the theme of Perfect Creation??

That's gonna take some brainstorming.

I was just going to draw dicks all over something, but then I thought that would be infantile. So I did, and I laughed heartily. Change your stage name to the DaggerBird.

If there is one I am not aware. The Perfect was meant to look "Royal" formal print, the Creation is in cursive.

After reloading my machine not too long ago, my font library is full of fail, I have like nothing in it. I had the idea of extending the strike and have some sparks kinda splashing about from the impact. The impact of course should be right near the frontal-crotchal area, chicks dig that. Anyhow... It's not much...

That font isn't working for me, and I don't like mostly white face of it....

I was thinking the little cloud on the butt could be a little greenish...

Realistically making a decent lightning suit will be difficult. Any chance you could electrify it? Weave in some fiber-optics and LEDs or something, though I would hate to think where you would need to store the batteries. Maybe an overcoat/robe would be electrified or robe with a normal black/violet outfit woven with sparkly fabric in the shape of lightning.

I am thinking a cyclone and eye on the font and back with reflective lightning streaking out from within it (in a perfect circle so to speak) and would wrap to the other side of the shirt and join up again. Keeping it symmetrical would keep in-line with your stage name.

pete: set the lightning layer blending mode to Overlay/Screen (can't remember off the top of my head which one). Also try this with the cloud layer: dark blue, but stretch it horizontally so that it resembles clouds more closely.

I was just mocking it up for him to see it, but thanks for the tips. Anyone can google "photoshop lightning" and get something like the above. He's just using it as a base for the designer to create :)

Ah, sorry, I was under the impression that it was supposed to be the final art.

Can I assume we have no more takers? Well I guess I am a little disappointed, though more TR folks would be into it. :( I need to submit something to the guy by the end of this week, so if no one else has anything I'll have to go with Pete's outline and see if he can work with it. Thanks for looking. :)


I've been thinking about it, i'll see if i can come up with anything nice within a couple days.
