I've had to do plenty of Curt Hennig sig requests in the past and he's rather hard to work with. Its harder to find quality images of older wrestlers, also FCW wrestlers usually.
That's sort of what doesn't sit well with me with this topic and why I fear many of you non-advanced GFXers may struggle. People in feds like to base their character off something obscure, or at least non-mainstream. So resources are limited.
Its not a bad topic, just difficult in practice.
That's a good solution, but you generally need to take a different approach when doing text-focused pieces. You kinda need to have a pretty good vision of exactly what you're going for.
Whereas when I play with renders I just throw shit at the wall until something sticks.
