When your done and you want to try your hand at making more posters, I have several videos that go in depth on not only how to make a poster, but why certain things work the way they do.
@@melmonsmith9306 Actually, I've got a legit copy that I don't pay for. If you go into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\AMT , take out application.xml, edit it with notepad, look for key="TrialSerialNumber", replace the last number of the serial number and up it by 1 and baddabing baddaboom you got yourself a reset trail. You can do it forever.
+xXMcSeanenstonXx Well putting a picture on the internet of you isn't bad or anything, it's just that i don't think that putting a image that has real things happening or real people is necessary not that you have to never post these types of images i just don't recommend it. I would like to see something a bit different like a photoshop as a account picture not a photo that anyone can take with a phone or camera etc.
Which means I have to take a bit of a break from my tf2 video but what ever lol. I wanna try to get a small video out first and then make a bigger one soon after
You are my favorite TH-camr in the SFM community, i always enjoy your videos and they are very helpful, i can even apply some things in Gmod and that helps with my friends who wants to start doing posters and they don't have that much experience!
For the lazy: Add a little soften/blur. Add a little contrast. Add a little sepia. Won't look nearly as good, but some combination of the three can look decent at lower resolutions.
this is neat. tip for tablet users though, along the top bar when using brush there is a symbol that looks like a dartboard. this is pressure sensitive opacity and is much easier to use when mixing colours like within the eye for example. if your tablet supports pressure sensitivity it should work. Good video man, I do more digital art stuff now maybe I might come back and make more videos.
This was absolutely insane. Not only is it helpful, but you are just legendary for having that level of patience and getting a super accurate result! In short, awesome tutorial. How long did the picture in the video take?
Hey, just saw your channel and I really like your posters. I'm trying to get better at doing posters in SFM and your channel showed up. Thanks allot mate! Posters look awesome! ;)
I've always dreamed of having my own TF2 poster with my main and it's loadout. Like, mine is the Scout with the Flap Jack, Bonk Boy, and Caffiene Cooler. Now, thanks to this video, it's possible for me! Thanks, boi.
I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that the part about the eyes is unnecessary, if you create a keyframe for the eyes instead of using the slider, you can manually adjust the rotation by clicking the keyframe, and manually adjusting its value
Man this tutorial was cool, I mean there was nicely done editing. Very cool that it does have a bit of TF2 art style on the portrait. I would do one these on some of my artwork (sometimes multiple people) too. However, I don't have Photoshop , but I have Gimp and Paint.NET to use.
I think you could have gone a bit more into detail on some steps, for example 'match the lighting', I don't know how to properly light anything, so I have no clue how to match the lighting to the poster. I would imagine other people have had similar problems too with some other steps
Me: Yay! I can't wait to do this cool thing! Steg: You need Photosh(it)op Me: Goodbye! I painstakingly learned the "difficult" Source filmmaker, and my brain is not ready to learn photoshop! (and my wallet isn't quite ready to turn to antimatter)

I frickin love you dude, you've taught me all I know about sfm bro
You're*

SFM check

+Aelan it happens it happens
I am also kind of new to sfm (30h) and I bought photoshop 1 month ago so it is kinda harder for me but I really like your tutorials
me to i struggle
Photoshop Paid
Photopea FREE!
sfm, check
photoshop pirated
patience....foreign
I have no idea what he was doing the whole time but it looked cool.
I think I need to visit some of his tutorials
"Actual Patience" as if SFM hasn't already tested that
I would love to do this but:
1. Can't afford photoshop
2. Can't run sfm
1. get pirated ps
2. youre fucked sry...
are you seriously playing on a toaster with a screen how can you not run sfm im sorry im just intrigued
stop reading your macbook and sell it for a legit pc, best decision of your life.
1. There isn't one person on earth with a legit copy
2. Optimize your computer settings

@@dumbfluff2453 you still done with it bruv?
Knockout idk what made me so mad three years ago bro
That is so incredible I would definitely commission one of these if you do or did them
Akio If he does, I'd definitely be interested in the price for a commission

Akio Same here.
Ayy! I am not alone here, that's awesome at least. :D
Same here....not sure what class my weird horse character would be, probably the Scout....but whatever....
You sir, are a fucking wizard

How do I download patience can you put a link !!!!!!!
I don't know if you're joking or being serious judging by you're account picture and username.
BackAllyWayCunt joke and I know that my name is angsty as f but I don't see wats wrong with my pic it's me when I was younger doing archery ?

You're really stupid if you thought that was serious, and now you're literally having a rant on his profile picture, lmao
+FlawlessRemix Wow you've hurt my feelings, that's not very nice.
Looks like you've been working with Valve for the posters
Luckily, I play Pyro so I have no need for eyes.
Not so lucky, Pyro has a lot of shadows.
Pyro has the most shadows so then it gives him a more scary and inhuman look.
Great tutorial, I don't know anything about PS but this was a really interesting watch.
Good stuff!
Found you from that reddit post, and i have to say, this is fucking awesome!
Thanks man
you need _patience_
I'm working on a tf2 video I promise. I'm really sorry that it's taking so long tho :/. Hopefully it'll be Wack
Welp, a thousand subs. Do something big about that.
Which means I have to take a bit of a break from my tf2 video but what ever lol. I wanna try to get a small video out first and then make a bigger one soon after
can u do 1 soldier with honcho's headgear the classifed coif and the Cuban Bristle Crisis same art like this plsss?
"be careful to not make a mistake" i thought CTRL + Z was a thing
Steg can you make a poster for me? I use the ya olde paper boy, the 3d glasses and cool cat. (all in pink) thanks in advance ;)
amazing as usual
I love how he's still in t pose it looks silly behind the scenes
This tutorial was amazing! It also helped me learn how SFM works in the process. It took my whole day up but it was worth it!
Congrats on making it to 1,000 subs. Hope the best for the future :)
JD The Cranberry thanks, you to man. Keep in contact >:)
Alright my friend >:)

Shot's fired at me within the first 20s, love you dude
+Doomsday.exe heh, I considered it a compliment. No idea how you can handle mixing with a mouse
This is incredible, I'm definitely gonna try this style on something else I'm making.
Wicked, wonderd how they got them looking so nice, along with the touch ups to the regular update artwork.
Great job with the quality and explanation!
this is so cool! I love your work, keep it up my dude!
Found this in my reccomended and it was really helpful. Thanks, also you got a new sub. ;)
Holy Mary, mother of Joseph! This is some top-quality stuff!
For the lazy:
Add a little soften/blur.
Add a little contrast.
Add a little sepia.
Won't look nearly as good, but some combination of the three can look decent at lower resolutions.
Photoshop: Yep
Art Skills: Yep
SFM: Yep
Patience:
oh no
I love Moby Francke's art style so. Damn. Much. This is great, btw!!
"to make a valve portrait, you will need Source Filmmaker, Photoshop and _actual patience_" .... darn
Looks easy try's it one year later... I'm done
heh. Its definitely rewarding tho
this is neat. tip for tablet users though, along the top bar when using brush there is a symbol that looks like a dartboard. this is pressure sensitive opacity and is much easier to use when mixing colours like within the eye for example. if your tablet supports pressure sensitivity it should work.

Insane...this is amazing dude!!
Hey, just saw your channel and I really like your posters. I'm trying to get better at doing posters in SFM and your channel showed up. Thanks allot mate! Posters look awesome! ;)
theonlinedemon I'm glad I can help
easy and straight to the point. even though I quit tf2 after 5 years, it was still enjoyable to watch :)
that was really cool! despite me having mediocre knowledge in PS i still found this video very entertaining, thank you!
this is actually pretty good mate

When i first the thumbnail first i thought valve makes them lol this is really great nice effort
+TheVideo Commenter thank you
Too bad I'm piss poor and can't afford Photoshop
Great turotial nonetheless. You explained it really well.
Just... Amazing, Keep up the good work
Congratulations For 2k Subs!
this is awesome you should be proud dude
suggestion: You should make a basic/beginner for this, because i think it would be really cool for a profile picture or something :)
This is awesome, only if i knew how to use photoshop and sfm... :C
I made tutorials to help with that. If your interested in trying.
epic af. Amazing as always
HAve you ever heard of "view target" in the rig of sfm? you can make the eyes look anywhere you want.
I think I tired it but it didn't work (prob because I messed a setting up) gave up and just did it in ps. I was slightly rushing that's why lol
This was really cool, now I need to find an sfm artist and commission one of these :D
I've always dreamed of having my own TF2 poster with my main and it's loadout. Like, mine is the Scout with the Flap Jack, Bonk Boy, and Caffiene Cooler. Now, thanks to this video, it's possible for me! Thanks, boi.
Will you make posters? If you do how much it would cost, too lazy to make one myself (+I suck) 😆
hmm! actually its a pretty neat tutorial, It must be my bad mood today but i came here expecting it to be bad, But its actually pretty good!
You earned another sub I hope your going to do more art tutorials in the future cause I really need to brush up on my art
People using sfm: Its so easy to use!
Me, trying to figure out why i have so many issues:
Very nice tutorial, Steg!
daamn nice, good job on this tutorial
That mouth made the scout look like a different person almost...
Holy motherfucking god, is this perfection at its finest? I think it is
I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that the part about the eyes is unnecessary, if you create a keyframe for the eyes instead of using the slider, you can manually adjust the rotation by clicking the keyframe, and manually adjusting its value
If I had those skills, I would love to make it any day, so, what i'm saying is great job, you're very talented with Photoshop
Thank you
I will pay someone in unusuals if they can make a self portrait of the Engineer with a hotrod
jesus, mine took like 5-6 hours from start to finish but id say it looks pretty good
Steg, legit, I love your voice
Why am i watching this I don't even use SFM
Found you on ifunny, was not disappointed.
If I get hands on this technique, I'll be commisioning keys!
Awesome vid! Thanks a lot.
Really helpful. Thanks, also great video.
i don't have photoshop. and i have no idea how to use sfm. but i'll work something out.
Could i use gmod for this if i know how to do lighting?
Top tier tutorial. Nice!
Man this tutorial was cool, I mean there was nicely done editing. Very cool that it does have a bit of TF2 art style on the portrait. I would do one these on some of my artwork (sometimes multiple people) too. However, I don't have Photoshop , but I have Gimp and Paint.NET to use.
Its hard to do especialy is you want to add unusual effects
That's sick!
Amazing man! You could make money off of this
fast, easy, simple. Great tutorial
really nice, mate
This is like nft art
But 100x better
God damn you deserve a lot more subs
Looks great
I think you could have gone a bit more into detail on some steps, for example 'match the lighting', I don't know how to properly light anything, so I have no clue how to match the lighting to the poster. I would imagine other people have had similar problems too with some other steps
I believe you can replicate this in other photo editing programs and software but to a lesser effect
Even a CG model gets airbrushing post production.
I would spend the time, but i change my cosmetic loadouts so much it doesn't seem worth the effort.
Agent Orange Seems like I'm not the only one
"1000's coming up"
*Looks at subbox*
_BOI_
Too hard (Heheh, *Hard*( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) This is way too much effort for a poster, Would it be easier to find an artist to replicate the style?
I may have to do this
I dont want to do this cuz its hard to me but ill leave my likes from my accounts here. Good job mate
Amazing!
Thanks mate!

Aprendí más de Photoshop con este vídeo que cualquier otro video

Me: Yay! I can't wait to do this cool thing!
Steg: You need Photosh(it)op
Me: Goodbye!
I painstakingly learned the "difficult" Source filmmaker, and my brain is not ready to learn photoshop!
(and my wallet isn't quite ready to turn to antimatter)
For some reason is feel like scout looks like he could be in the gorrilaz
Well you're getting 1000 subs tonight pretty sure
ooo whenever i get my drawing tablet ill make some of these : )
Noicely done love it
Bro, I am not doing any of this. Might as well paint the whole character from scratch. I thought this was gonna be some render setting in SFM.
i want the sfm file you did , it will make my life easier on the first part
cool vid but he shadow on Scouts face would b different on urs cuz of the diff hat
Can you do this for a character from another game (e.g. Overwatch)? I really wonder if that would work and how it would look like.
