86WARD's Steelers Art Studio

[86WARD]

Hey SteelerNation!!!

I'm a Mod over at GridironFans.com and K Train told me about this site. I usually frequent some of the other Steelers Message Boards but want to come check this site out and it's pretty sweet.

I just got into doing signatures and what not about 13 months ago...I've been using Photoshop since January...but I wanted to post some of the signatures I've done and see what you guys think...

Nice work man...I can't believe someone took the time to make a Bubby Brister Sig tho..lol.

[BlacknGold Bleeder]

Real nice work ya do there that wallpaper is sweet !!

[86WARD]

Thanks guys...

The Bubby Signature was one of my favorites to do...I'm thinking of doing a Merill Hoge one too. Some of my favorite games to watch are from that 1989 season...that Oilers/Steelers Playoff game...oh man...one of my favorites of all time.

[TampaSteelGirl]

Wow really nice work!! I love the one of Santonio and first one of Harrison the best...Keep up the great work!!

[lloydfan4life]

Nice work, 86! :yellowthumb:

[Scorp]

GREAT WORK!!! can't wait to see more. :cope: :yellowthumb:

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Excellent work, I love that style you use, the rough, textured, look with a lot of use of shadow and blending. the Harrison and Woodley sigs are my favorite. The bubby sig just needs a picture of his mom sitting the stands to make it complete :lol:

[JensK]

Nice work man! :) Do you take jobs? :P

[86WARD]

I can do something for you if you want...let me know what you are looking for...

--- Added 6/19/2009 at 11:14 PM ---

If you want I have more signatures posted at GridironFans.com. If you want to take a look and let me know what style you like best I can do something for you JensK...no problem.

yeah, my 46 posts...quite the whoring...:lol:

btw - glad to be one of your token 5 posts so you can use the arcade...lol. tear it up!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

We can load those wallpapers up on our Downloads page if you like as well, just let us know. If you can get us a couple dimensions of the usual screen resolutions that would be great..... and we'll be sure to always give you full credit too.

[86WARD]

What's the best way to get you those different sizes? I could convert them to the sizes you need...let me know what you think.

[Sir Blitzelot]

Great work 86WARD. :clap:

[86WARD]

Thanks Mike!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

If you can get us sizes in 1024x768 , 1440x900, and 1600x1200.. then we can load them up and have them available for the site goers to use.

[PsychoWard]

Great looking work man!!!!

Where's the best place to host a picture that big. Resizing shouldn't be a problem.

THanks Psycho.

[BR7]

Photobucket.

[86WARD]

I'll try to upload the sizes tonight and PM them to Top Gun.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Looking forward to them :yesnod:

I'll try to work on resizing some of these for the download page. I do most of mine in 1680x1050 for the widescreen monitors and then the photobucket resizes them to whatever they are now...1024x640...I think. I'll try to work on cropping and resizing to get them to the 3 sizes for the download page.

[86WARD]

Nicely done, lookin super sharp man!

Thanks!!

Hines Ward caught more passes for more yards and more touchdowns than anyone in Steelers history and he introduced the devastating wide receiver block -- almost always delivered with a smile on his face -- to the modern NFL. Wednesday, the Steelers delivered the toughest body-blow to Ward's 14-year career when they announced their plans to release him, without ever asking him to take a pay cut. Ward saw this possibility coming after the coaches demoted him from his 13-year run as a starter on Nov. 13 in Cincinnati, then used him sparingly over the final seven games. They did frantically and successfully manage to help him become only the eighth player in NFL history to catch 1,000 passes, targeting him enough times in the final two games for him to hit that number on the nose with five receptions in the finale at Cleveland.

[86WARD]

Cool!!
