Hanshithispantz Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 What's the deal with The Simpsons artist? Has he reproduced signature moments in US sports history (nfl, nba etc) and made a killing? He's just some guy on Facebook who draws weird pictures mate, it was just really unique (albeit weird) pieces of memorabilia to start out and his images getting posted aroun Facebook, Twitter and message boards have spread his name about. Here's his website http://picturesthatigoneanddone.bigcartel.com/ And an example: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9fecoRKEZ1rp3ukfo1_500.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I like them but I reckon that there should be different lines for runs with and without theball . Maybe dots for one and dashes for the other Or have a ball at the feet of the player if he's dribbling. Was thinking about this last night when doing the Ben Arfa one, it didn't seem right using the same line for Hatems run as the Dembas Sets for famous hat tricks would be good. I really like this idea, thanks! If anyone has any experience of doing quality prints which can then be framed please get in touch via PM. If possible I would like to go down the home printing route rather than being fleeced by another company for one off prints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Chibas Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hmmm, the penny has finally dropped. Thanks Hans. When it comes to some of this internet pop culture i'm way behind the current trends, rags-to-riches facebook ventures. Cue for Stu to lose the bulk of a third cup of coffee today. I hope it was just the instant rubbish out of the jar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That's brilliant, but where's the ball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That's brilliant, but where's the ball? Bugger, i forgot that again EDIT - Added but im still working on exactly how the ball will be displayed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 May I suggest a 'greyed out' ball at the top of the arc over Hendry's head too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Could do Ketsbaia's too! I think you did it with the Ben Arfa goal, but I think the players in the previous time line should be greyed out a bit, or translucent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The demarcation of dotted line for off-the-ball movement and dashed line for running with the ball (and now, yellow for celebration) is a good system too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Got to do Tiote's vs Arsenal with celebration. Somehow add Pards and Harper's elbow dive, and you're golden. I'll buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 A few people have mentioned adding the score and game details to the images. In some versions of the game they showed the score when the ball went dead. http://www.xboxic.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/Amiga%20Sensible%20Soccer%20Screenshot%2002.gif Adding this was the plan but what do people think? Will it take too much focus away from the players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Could you add a couple of advertising hoardings on the side of the pitch and add that info in there? Doesn't have to be so prominent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not in that style. The same white text which you use for goalscorer and minute might be decent. [/iMO] Also would you do it as the final score, or the score when the goal was scored? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 How about.... http://www.pixelreplay.com/Samples/GazzaEnglandScotland2.png Also would the score reflect the score when the goal went in or the fulltime result? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
