urbandork Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I need someone to photo shop a TM hicapa with a black slide that has ONLY the side walls polished (leters and serations in the rear left black) AND also has wood inplace of the textred part of the grip. Rose wood or walnut would be fine some dark but not to light. Im trying to decide to ditch the chrome and go pure black and the OD grip when it comes out OR go with a half polished slide and custom wood intergration into the polymer grip. Much thanks in advanced to any one who comes through. Link to post Share on other sites

phishphansj3151 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 How do you make a pic look like it was a pencil drawing in photoshop? Link to post Share on other sites
McMadkat Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 like that? Link to post Share on other sites
phishphansj3151 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 ya except black and white. Just white and then a pencil outline of the gun. (How do you do that** Just a black and white pencil outline I mean So basically there's no picture left except a pencil outline of the gun.) EDIT: Like this. Link to post Share on other sites

Marcus Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 phishphansj3151, For pencil-sketching, Corel Painter is your friend I find it difficult to render pencil/charcoal-realistic drawings in Photoshop, I guess a combination of chalk/charcoal and photocopy can somewhat achieve the desired result: Glock, drawn in Illustrator and filtered with chalk/charcoal in Photoshop 1911, same. Notice how bad it looks with the detail? For the astute, this is the Arnie's Commemorative Colt, posted in some other thread: Above is the Illustrator final output. Not exactly pencil, more like ink. Unfortunately, I don't have Corel Painter installed currently, so I can't sketch something up, but if you want to do realistic pencil, it's the application to use. M.

deepsix Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Lol, SilentScope beat me to the punch.... same image too! Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yeah there arent too many good pictures of it. You did a good job on yours. I just changed the grips because I dont think you can get ones like what the Marui replica comes with that are made out of wood. Link to post Share on other sites
McMadkat Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 lol all better attempts than mine Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 How do you plan on getting the wood grips on there? The lower frame and grip is molded into one. Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 better then my attempt lol. But i think i get the idea. As for how i plan on getting the wood grip on to the plastic. I plan on busting out the dremel and sander. Sekeletonizing the grip area. Sand it down a bit lower. Sand wood grips down to fit flush with grip. Figured on not only screwing the wood part on with stock grip screws but also to hot glue grips on. I also plan on running either a kimber or a springfeild slide and polishing just the wall. Im leaning toward a springfeild over the kimber because i like the way the serations are set up. Its either this or a all black barrel/hammer/guide rod and an OD grip when it comes out. Thanks goes out to all who helped and actually took the time to mess around with photoshop. It reminds me of the days of the first forums when i had thought about doing a p90/psg1 hybrid before all those rails thingys came out for it. Gosh im glad i kept my p90tr as stock as possible.

urbandork Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 just out of the blue how do you guys feel about this. Do you think it looks good? Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Deepsix...how'd you do that? Looks REALLY smooth, better than what I used to do. (forgot all my photoshop stuff :-s) And whats this Arnies Airsoft 1911? Link to post Share on other sites
Siciro Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I really like the look of the one deepsix did. can the grip panels come off the 5.1? Link to post Share on other sites
deepsix Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Lol, thanks guys. Whipped that up in about 10 min. It's what I do for a living. Last 7 years, 8 hours a day... nothin' but photoshop, retouching studio photography. (gets real boring) Too bad the shots of guns I post of my own always suck... never have got around to picking up a decent camera for myself! ...now, if you want to see the chicks in my personal portfolio... Actually, if you've ever been into a Home Depot, or used DeWalt or Black and Decker tools... chances are you've seen my work. Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 i was also thinking of fake wood laminations lol with some clear texture on top. And yeah man that job was really good the gun looks like it could be a product and out of a catolog. Link to post Share on other sites
