16 bit videogame style Cougar

[luminous]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could make a good pic of any cougar in any setting, and sort of cartoonize the photo to look like an older style videogame. I recently put up a page MySpace.com - Bald Andy - BELCHERTOWN, Massachusetts - Experimental - www.myspace.com/baldandy (http://myspace.com/baldandy) for some home recording projects. One song is a goofy oldschool techno style song called "pixelmobile", and It would be cool to use a Cougar for the little picture that goes with the song. I do not have very good photo editing program skills, so it would be much appreciated if someone could help me out. Thanks

I could give it a shot, but I need a good picture of your car to work with.

You can use any picture of any cougar that you think might work well. I do not really have a good pic of my car in any nice setting yet.

right, lemme hop on my desktop and I'll see what I can do...

Just to let you know, I am a PS newb, but I do have some ideas of what will probably look good.

Cool, then we will both benefit. Thank you.

No I found the word. Unfortunately it was chocked back by the rush of vomit.

I really like the last one.

[freednighthawk]

Hey noggs, I love both the second and last ones of the ones you made. How did you do them?

[evilkowz]

last one reminds me of when this forum was fastcougar.com

I'm pretty sure those are standard effects with the right PS program.

Thread starter is looking for something like this:

Takes a little while to do, and it's not something you can run through a filter in Photoshop. You gotta trace the car with the block pen and simplify it.

[RuiNaToR_QC]

Oh sorry then! ^^

Edit: i had fun doing it :)
LOL!

mine is better :tongue:

John had the right idea. I still like the one I pointed out earlier. I like how it is sort of an action shot, or perhaps it is the angle. It doesn't have to be 16 bit looking, but I would prefer something of older videogame quality. If there are a few different ones that I really like, I might choose one and put the others in an album. I appreciate all the help. Thanks

[noggs]

Ruinator, that is really good! I like it!

Thanks for the comments guys

To make the last one...
Motion Blur>Gaussian Blur>Crystilize>Smooth Edges>Glowing Edges>Adjust Hue/Saturation

And to be honest, I really have not idea how I made the second one, I had one started from awhile ago, and had applied filters to it, as well as retouched the colors a bit, so i just picked up with it and just messed around with it more :) Sorry


Personally I love the last one, and the 3rd one...and IDK why I even made the 4th, 5th, or 6th...there ugly lol...

But on a sidenote (not trying to tell you anything about your music) But I personally hate when techno songs have like those old school graphics, it just kinda makes good music look cheap. I think it would be amazing to have like some out of this world graphical orgazim as a cover, just my 2 cents tho :)

I guess I agree. While old graphics do go with bitbop, somrtimes something more surreal or even something real can be more fitting. I made the song with stuff from 1990. For some reason it reminded me of a racing game I played when I was a kid. I think it was the one that came with some of the origional nes sytems (can't remember the name). I chose the last picture that you did b/c although it wasn't what I was asking for, it was what I was looking for:) Thank you
