arsenal one is still by far the best for me, you just can't beat that fabregas face ( as much as i'd like too)

Great that, but is it just me or does Xabi turn into Gerrard?

[SpesRan]

It's Gerrard the whole time, my first gif animation

[ALRIGHTALDO]

Its Wengers face on the arsenal one that cracks me up.

[red chrissy]

liverbird head is fantastic can't wait to see your finished version

[diplomatique]

LOVIN' all of the zoolanders. Although I still think the Arsenal one is my fav; it's the combination of the Cesc face and Wenger's expression that does it for me. Although I swear in the Chelsea one that that is what Avram does all the time on the sidelines. The look on Ballack's face is hilarious. Also love Xabi's expression on the first Liverpool one.

Instead of Skrtel use Xabi....

ok, here's my attempt at 'poolander'. whilst doing it i learnt that 'ctrl + g' groups layers together, staring at images of fernando torres for too long is detrimental to a man's heterosexuality and, most importantly, it is a bad idea to continue photoshopping until half five in the morning (it is now light outside  ). hope it's worth it!

Nah, leave him be - he looks like Mini-Me
Kuyt is priceless too - he can really move

Sheer quality right there. Babel's face when he 'cheers's Stevie is amazing. If you want a little 'constructive criticism', Torres could do with a little work and Babel's second face is a little bland but Carra, Steve and one of Babel's is classic

This one as well

For me too, Cesc just cracks me up, and combined with Whinger's out-of-character smile, it makes pure comedy gold.

The last LFC isn't bad (Babel esp.) but you just can't leave out Rafa or Torres. The earlier quick attempt (quoted above this) has a perfect Rafa though

i think the original image is superior - simpler effect... where can i buy Macphisto?

Well, this actually isn't a proper effort. It was more of a sketch or practice to get the hang of Photoshop's tools, like I did this just to practice with color burn. Different technique from anything else I do.

There were several concept drawings of that bird in different poses. I just cut the head from one of them. I'll touch up the rest of this one and post it on here. It's the bird ready to take flight.

Though if you are talking about buying something, then I think it would be a better idea to actually have me commission something unique and either paint it on canvas or as digital work to be printed as a HQ poster.

Ah, just go spam a few topics. That's what most people do on here, right?

My first go at this. 

At Carlsberg, we don't do assasinations, but if we did, they would be the best assasinations in the world.

Thats brilliant mate! Babel looks hilarious!!!!!

Gerrard in that Poolander one is funny as fuck. Reminds me of Edward Norton in 'The Score'.

[kitster]

Heyy I would really love a classy Babel wallpaper, anybody know one?

[trigger]

does anyone know how i can enlarge this pic to wallpaper size without losing quality?

[gnaume]

don't think you can mate... try looking for a bigger one

[Jonny J]

Macphisto - would you have any issue if I tried to get your original Liver bird made into a massive flag? I've got a few mates who can somtimes get digi printing sorted out a bit cheaper than normal - but I'd try to get something sort of 5 or 6Metres wide by 9 or 10M tall 
First up - would you be ok with it if I can get it sorted? and then would your image be ok to get blown up to that level or would I need something with better resolution?

Cheers fella - it's beautiful.
