Very cool. And since you can't see his face you can use it after he moves on at whatever point in his career, especially since the # is 72, your undeffeated season.
yeah it is an awesome shot. i did some tricks to the helmet to make the sparkles come out a little bit.
do you have the original shot of carey too? Just curious as to the difference... also, its not a picture i ever recall seeing.
I just saw this. It was actually far less complicated than it looks. If you asked me the exact steps I can't quite remember them but it's just layer tricks... those who work with graphics programs will know what I'm talking about (edit: don't really know if you ever have or not, brandon). The sparkles must be in the helmet naturally because i didn't add them nor did I put any sparkle brush to effect..
i've played around in photoshop a bit, nowhere near enough to do anything cool with it. The sparkles are in the helmet to begin with. just because of the "white" coloring, its hard to see, its definitely there though.
