<div class="IPBDescription">US currency photochop</div> This is the result of 6 hours of work last night. If I feel like it I may make more of them with other HL, NS or whatnot characters, but a couple of those numbers were a huge pain to make. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I changed everything except the serial numbers and "The United States of America".

For those of you who have not seen US currency I shall explain what some of the things are on the real stuff.
-The two logos/seals are actually the Federal Reserve and the Department of the Treasury.
-Below the upper left number is "Federal Reserve Note".
-The two signitures are the US Treasurer and the Secretary of the Treasury.
-The statement on the left side is "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private".

edit: updated version!

    Good idea, perhaps I will after a bit more tweaking of things I've noticed now that I'm not half asleep <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    VERY NICE. make it a sig or avatar something, this thing deserves it <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    ONe thing tho, the background on the freeman pic needs to be a diff shade of green IMO. other than that, perfect.

    Too large for a sig here, and its very difficult to shrink it without loosing clarity of all the small lines <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The background behind Freeman is actually gray. I'm currently working on tweaking it and making it look better. (the real thing has a whole bunch of very small and close together curved black lines, looking like gray)

    Gordon now matches better and I added some lines behind him along with various other tweaks. Thanks to local art-goddess Sheena Yanai for helping me some of that.

    I am pondering the idea of making more HL/NS currency aswell <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Very awesome, is there a filter to give Gordon that "Line-ish Art" that the presidents have?

  • CMF_FatalCMF_Fatal Join Date: 2003-12-27 Member: 24792Members
    mmm, much better! tho, you could overlay a linish thing like the background over gordon to make it look more sketched...

    I tried all kinds of things to make him look more like the real thing, and in the end I felt looked better to just leave it looking like a photo printed on the bill.
