Okay, Blood and I will post a nice tutorial here on how to make a 'GTA-style' photo of yourself. If all of you create such a photo of yourself, we can add them all together and make a very cool RAFS poster! I'll post my image to begin with so that you can see what the final result should look like (more or less). You need photoshop to make this. Example pictures:   THE TUTORIAL: 1) Take a good looking 'GTA-style' photo of yourself 2) Open photoshop and open your photo (file --> open) 3) Aply the 'photocopy' filter (filter --> sketch --> photocopy) 4) Slide the bars a bit until you get clear black lines with as few grey in between as possible (I believe I used detail: 7, darkness: 8) 5) Now remove all the grey dots so that you only have the black lines left and thicken the black lines where needed, or draw them yourself when they are missing. EDIT: also remove the background  6) You now have a white picture with black countour lines of your photo, the only thing you have to do now is give it some colour. Use colors from your photo by using the sample tool, and use darker colors to add shading. The best way to see how and where to add shading is by either looking at the example pictures, or by looking at official GTA art. 7) If needed you can add some extra black lines afterwards to add a little more detail or to make things look better and then you're done! If anything is not clear, or you don't know how to do something, please post your question here and we'll try to give a useful answer. |

if we want to create a RaFS poster, we should consider a few things first:

Well, to add color: select the area you wish to color (you can use the lasso tool, or the polygonal lasso tool, which you can select by right-clicking on the lasso tool icon (can be found on the toolpanel on the left)). When the area is selected, and you have selected the right color with the sample tool (by left-clicking somewhere on the original photo you can select the color at that spot) you use the 'fill' option to fill your selected area with the selected color (edit --> fill, or shift+F5) To make the lines thicker: do the same as with the coloring, you select the area where your line is going to be using the lasso tool, and then you fill the selected area, but this time you make it black instead of a color. I recommend using the poligonal lasso tool, because it creates straight lines that are commonly found in GTA art. |

when you resize the pictures some lines might look thicker or thinner, we'll see in the end
if it's gonna look like the cover art that won't matter indeed
