do you actually zoom right in and delete/add a few pixels at a time? cos they are coming out brilliant mate.

[RedRush]

thats brilliant.. mate!!

Fantastic Mate!

Thanks.
 

Pepe Please

I'm trying to finish the 9s first. 9 of spades= Ian Rush, 9 of clubs= ?? (Not feeling like doing Owen you understand)

Yes. Zoom in and do it few pixels at a time, zoom out, check it out, zoom back in, repeat and rinse - a process which takes about 12-15 hrs including finding the right photo to use. Backbreaking, eye-killing work!

[God 9]

Thanks.

How about Sir Roger?
I know that on his time, the player numbers arent fixed....
but we all know that he is really a number 9 type, isn't he?
Anyway, superb work mate!

[Nick Hope]

Steve Heighway is another possibility for number 9.

RedRush, these cards are really first class work. I love the little not-obvious touches like "Toxteth deity...". What's the Chinese writing next to his name?

These could really sell. You can put me down for a couple of decks when you've done the whole pack. I'm looking forward to your jokers

The Chinese character is 'shen', meaning God or a deity. Classly little touch!

Absolutely love these cards. Would buy a pack no question. Can't think of a better stocking fillers for a red.

[Macphisto80]

I wonder who the two Jokers of the pack would be...

[Finn Solomon]

I nominate Luis Garcia and John Barnes.

Gerrard, ace of spades?

[John C]

Good thinking, and it could be in different contexts. Given that it takes his so long to do I wouldn't recommend him spending time on a joke of a signing like Paul Stewart but a true joker could be Dean Saunders.

Then of course there's King Kenny, but who who be an Ace (could be Pepe but he'd suit number 1) or even a Queen (Steve McMannaman).

Shankly, Paisley, Fagan and Benitez?

[red_til_i_die]

Carra would have to be the king of hearts

[John C]

Shankly, Paisley, Fagan and Benitez?

There's the answers, so at 15 hours work per card that's gonna keep him busy all fucking week eh!

[Xabinator]

Carra would have to be the king of hearts

Bellamy would have been the jack of clubs it's fair to assume

Good one mate.

Sir Roger then, quite possibly the best #9 from what I've read of him!

tax_man has answered on the Chinese character. Good shout on Stevie, I'll need to figure out where to put him.

Thanks for the feedback.

Like John C says, it'll probably take me a year to make a full deck, and that's if I quit me fulltime work completely!   
 
But I'm really, really interested to find out where to place the players. For example, I've Gary Mac down as one of the jokers (which I've reserved for cheap/free signings/wildcards who make a great impact/full value for money), while Aces are for the likes of Ray Clemence, Reina, Grobelaar. 
 
Steve McManaman as a Queen - you've read my mind!

Words simply cannot describe the joy I'm feeling looking at this jubilant portrait of Fowler. Didn't quite catch the comic part of it until I caught sight of 'Slartibartfast' partially occluded in the background text.

Liverpool's 9s of Diamonds and Hearts. Just the tonic for depression resulting from reading the post Brum match thread!

I think he'd already done King of Hearts Kenny sometime back. Can't quite find it.

[Nick Hope]

RedRush, it would be cool if you got a public album somewhere that people can see the full pack grow as (if) you complete them. They get buried quickly in here. Photobucket? Deviantart? By they way I really think these cards could be a commercial proposition, and copyright may well not be an issue as they are substantially changed from the original photos. May be worth a punt!

p.s. Joey Jones and Igor for a joker!

[Dam]

Good work RedRush! Looking forward to seeing Rushie. David Fairclough for Joker surely?

[tommy LFC]

And who said these two weren't close?

Steve Highway, a winger but a great number 9.

[buchigo!]

probably lifted it off the club shop as well.

"sir that would be 3 pounds!"
"get it from the xabi sale!" (sneaks away)

from the champions league thread mate, was a hit in there so thought I'd put it up here aswell.

[silver 5 star]

I have just nearly had a thrombo laughing at that!

Fucking brilliant!

[silver 5 star]

Now that the heart rate has come down a bit - wouldn't it be lovely if we could get two of these actually made?

One with Hicks' face on, the other Gillet.....

[buchigo!]

hahaha so wrong.
