This isn't exactly a jersey thread, or a request thread but I will be posting all of my graphical creations in here, whether it is a sig, jersey, avatar or something else.
I will not take requests (for right now anyways) and plus you dont want my jerseys  But I will take all "recommendations" into account, but nothing is guaranteed.
So below you can see some of my work

Nice to see you open a thread. I really like the look of all your sigs. I have to ask, how do you get that kinda 3D effect near the border of your Ryder sig?
Plus the jersey is nice.

Thanks. I know the name of the font in your sig, found it the other day
And to get the 3D effect, just put white inner glow, choke 100% and then size 3-6 and make the opacity lower to your preference. (You have Photoshop, right?) Then save the image, and open it up again (so its one layer) make the width and length when opening the image 2 pixels larger for both and then just give it a 1 pixel black stroke on the outside.
Hopefully you can follow all of that. Its a lot of writing, but its so easy.

Read it over a couple times but I got it. And yeah I have Photoshop, what else?

You know what, I'm already doing a few things for Alakagom tonight, so here goes:
I will take one sig request, first come, only served. (I made that sentence up myself).
Just tell me which rider, and what general colour you want the sig to be. I can find pics of the rider, unless you want it to be a specific shot.

I shotgun. I would like a Fabio Duarte sig in the colours of the Colombian flag. No words, I want it like your Hesjedal one.
Here are some pics you can use if you'd like:

Good luck!

Just a quick hint which can save you some time. You can make it one layer by merging the inner glow-layer down onto an empty new layer.

While that is a useful hint, I actually do it, because my overall image is 420x100 f.e. and I use up the whole image, leaving me no room for an outside border to be seen, so I flatten it or save it and then make a new canvas and make the border there
And Teddy, expect it in a few hours.
Johannes, maybe I can make something for you still, but later

Valv,
to spare you the formal list of 25 wanted 80's/90's team shirts, can you tell me how the formats for the files work in 2012? Is the process for creating/importing shirts the same as with 2010? If so, I can do it myself.
It was eleven more than necessary.

They work the same as 2010 and 2011, which means that they need to be .tga files. However not sure if you know, but the rider model for PCM 11 was changed, so you have to change the actual jersey a bit, by skewing the shoulders and pants and such. Its fairly easy if you use the cyclist viewer that comes with the game, and it is not necessary, only if you want 100% accuracy in-game instead of about 90%.

@ RMCF - I am not taking request anymore, sorry.
@ johannes - Well yours looks pretty good actually, I like the shadow, and I always think theres more sense of accomplishment when you do something like this yourself. I might be free in a few days, to make you one though.
