winning eleven cover

[o0oGedo0o]

stevie baby got me inspired i tell you, he made a paint contest with football as theme, out of boredom i tried something else: making my own winning eleven cover. So, i used photoshop and the results made me proud, take a look:

well tell me what do you think, and even post your own if you like, just remember it's my first try on doing a cover, plus it's my second photoshop job ever

hey o0oGedo0o check out my front cover thread

[Stevie Baby]

That's really good Gedo. Glad to be of inspiration. (You're missing a club badge btw ;) )

[Itachi-san]

That's excellent. Looks like CD cover rather than a DVD cover.

[Lorenzinho]

That's really good Gedo. If only you had elongated it. But well done nonetheless...

[o0oGedo0o]

it's a cd cover :), plus i'm not missing a badge cause these are the teams me and my friends play with, i meant it to look that way, like it's missing one badge but i'm open for suggestions, still got the .psd file

[Stevie Baby]

Yea, when I mentioned the badge and gave the wink you were supposed to go "Oh yes! How could I forget!? Crystal Palace!"

[o0oGedo0o]

lol, my bad well do you think i should make them smaller and add more badges? like make them 50% smaller and add about 2 lines of badges? i'll add crystal palace just for you, but promise me to use that cover ;)

[Stevie Baby]

I shall make it my wallpaper in your honour.

[Tom90]

Did you make the whole thing by yourself ?

[Lami]

Did you make the whole thing by yourself ?

[o0oGedo0o]

EDIT: btw lami helped me a lot in the second one, did 50% of the job

[Lami]

mate i didn't do much, all i did was search for badges and send 'em to you.

[o0oGedo0o]

ok LAST version thanks for your comments people :D

[Itachi-san]

cool, i like the transparent badges/logos. i hope you will include league logos too. ie:Barclaycard's English Premier League, Liga Espanola, Calcio Serie A, etc...

[Wu-Tang]

good but u gotta change the ball man, it looks kinda shit, compared to the surroundings which are amazing!!!!!!

[o0oGedo0o]

Ok, made some changes, hope you like it this time, please add comments :)

[Stevie Baby]

It's still great.

[o0oGedo0o]

Thanks, I was downloading sunjun patch so I thought I should have a decent cover, would be glad if I knew someone found it good and used it :)

[Lami]

I still want those players in the background faded, atleast a gk and 2 players.

Very Nice :cool:. I would like to see the new blue CL ball, if possible.

Great work gedo. I'm planning on using this for my reefur v1.0 WE8LE cover.

[o0oGedo0o]

oh about that you know when it's going to be released?

[Itachi-san]

I don't know, the thread over at evo-web concerning his patch was closed due to too many questions about the release date. I'm guessing it will be around in about 1-2 week.

Going on-topic, can you make another cover with the blue CL ball? please

[o0oGedo0o]

yes sure but can you give me a little time?? maybe tomorrow ok? i'm not sure if it will fit good with the colors of the cover but it's your call :)

[Itachi-san]

cool. thanks. take as long as you need.

[Lorenzinho]

Good work Gedo mate. I never knew you were good as this sort of thing. Top stuff!

[o0oGedo0o]

for you uchiha:

hope you're satisfied :)
Anyways i downloaded sunjun patch and the gameplay of liveware evolution is a lot different from the normal winning eleven 8, it's really hard: players take too much time stoping the ball, goals that always went in don't anymore, but the shooting is great, oh and dribbling is so hard
edit: thought the ball was too bright

[Itachi-san]

looks nice, but I don't think that is the NEW blue CL ball used in the 2005 CL final. still looks nice.

ps-i think you should edit the grass so that it looks like the ball is laying on the grass. its looks like the ball is floating on top of the grass.

still awesome stuff though. thanks

[o0oGedo0o]

I thought it was floating too and it drove me nuts, but didn't know how to do it, I think I did a decent job this time, btw thought this was the champions league final ball. got any screenshots for it?

anyways: try 6 or 7 (i lost count :D)

i still think this one looks better:

P.s: I edited the grass for that one too.

I'm not sure those are very good to use though.

[o0oGedo0o]

if you had one good resolution picture it will be better,or maybe some useful links, I think the problem with the first cover is that the ball's picture is real and the background is rendered, that's why i do't like it, the second one looks like it's all rendered

[Lami]

Nice. Real great job gedo. now, why arent you on msn, bitch?

[pbchillin]

look sweet, but, why in all of those great teams, do you have crystal palace?

[o0oGedo0o]

because stevie baby asked me to
