BadFurDay Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey there. As I picked up TEW2010 after a year's break, lots of things have changed since then in the wrestling world. In the process of updating the stats of my own-and-private "real world" mod (where NOAH, CHIKARA, and ROH are the only major surviving promotions during a huge industry crash around 2012 caused by some ridiculously random cataclysm the mayans had suggested - stupid, but hey, I'm trying to give my database a story at least), I come over many wrestlers that have changed in look or attire. For some, I can find updated pics. For others, not so much. So I decided to learn cutting. Here you are, those are pics I made myself of wrestlers I couldn't find better and/or more recent pics of: Genba Hirayanagi (blurry due to lame source pic): http://i47.tinypic.com/50i9ld.jpg STIGMA: http://i48.tinypic.com/29y38up.jpg Ultramantis Black: http://i50.tinypic.com/264rtad.jpg Feedback would be extremely appreciated as, those being my first cuts, I have no clue what I'm doing right or wrong, and I'd rather fix the possible issues before I make any more.

SHaynes23 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The cuts themselves aren't bad at all for those being your first. If I could suggest something it would be better usage of the space you have. In those pictures there is a lot of blank space, and it makes it feel like they are missing something. Take a look at my thread to see what I mean. I try to take up a lot of the background and it seems to give the picture a much fuller feel, but maybe that's just me.

Hm, I see what you mean I'll try to take that in consideration, thanks a lot for the feedback! Cut a picture of Desmond Wolfe, before reading your post (as of such, couldn't yet take the advice into consideration): http://i46.tinypic.com/33nb2gh.jpg I feel like I messed it up. Though it might have been the way the source pic looked like, didn't help me much. Probably will end up doing a better cut of Desmond soon enough.

BadFurDay Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Did some experiments, and ended up realizing I just don't like wrestlers being so "zoomed in" as you do SHaynes23. After a quick look at my current ingame roster though, you were indeed right that I zommed the f- out quite a lot. Tried to compromise and go halfway for those cuts, they fit the others I have in my game so far like that Pelle Primeau: http://i46.tinypic.com/qyixl3.jpg Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno & Player Dos): http://i49.tinypic.com/2ug2lwy.jpghttp://i48.tinypic.com/24vvddt.jpg Hate the lightning on Uno there, but couldn't find a better looking source pic with his current ring attire.

BadFurDay Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Damn it, it's hard to find good quality pics for some of the NOAH roster... hence the many lame-source-pic-cuts below. Will do better if I find a better source. Atsushi Aoki (blurry? definitely not, you just need better glasses... or I need a better pic to work with) http://i46.tinypic.com/fuqbue.jpg Akitoshi Saito http://i45.tinypic.com/auaahh.jpg Taiji Ishimori http://i50.tinypic.com/et5q45.jpg Yoshihiro Takayama http://i47.tinypic.com/aeqkq8.jpg Shuhei Taniguchi with no head top (I wish NOAH had a updated roster page...) http://i49.tinypic.com/2gvttg7.jpg Mohammed Yone http://i49.tinypic.com/13z49sm.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadFurDay Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Gold mine found after a struggle with japanese and the google translator, NOAH cuts updated. They are still blurry or bad due to bad source pic, but mostly better than the previous batch. And I'm stuck with Shuhei Taniguchi's topless head. Ridiculously lame. Akihiko Ito: http://i48.tinypic.com/29ckzgl.jpg The one and only, Kenta Kobashi: http://i49.tinypic.com/28s0wte.jpg Ricky Marvin: http://i46.tinypic.com/op5rv4.jpg Takeshi Morishima: http://i47.tinypic.com/35bi4pk.jpg Go Shiozaki: http://i45.tinypic.com/xbijx4.jpg Kotaro Suzuki: http://i45.tinypic.com/ifmqrt.jpg Big friendly testicle-chopping giant Akira Taue: http://i46.tinypic.com/2cr6iyf.jpg Hopefully I'll be able to find and cut better pics of NOAH workers in the near future.

Tyler Gadzinski Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Not bad for first time cuts.. but when you get pictures like Shuhei Taniguchi then you should really align it so his head is at the top of the background so you can't tell the picture was ever missing the top of the head.

cappyboy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Did some experiments, and ended up realizing I just don't like wrestlers being so "zoomed in" as you do SHaynes23. You know, I'm not a big player of real world mods to where I usually needs these cuts. But I always wonder about this. On the one hand I understand the people's pictures are what matters here and the whole point is to get the pictures in such a way people can have a visual starting point with the wrestlers getting cut. But I've never understood why you have these splashy backgrounds if you're going to almost completely cover them up and kill their ability to add atmosphere to the cuts. It seems almost pointless to have all these other backgrounds if you're going to be able see so little of them in a completed product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that at first, but it looked even worse. And yes, it can look worse than cut-head-Shuhei. I'll just wait for a better picture of him (which realistically will take a while to be found, but hey...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadFurDay Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 A couple lame "placeholder" cuts I did in a hurry until I find the time to make better ones. Taylor has the weirdest haircut ever.

Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadFurDay Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 More pictures in the "damn it, how hard is it to find a good source pic nowadays?" category. Crap, but better than nothing.
