It is just like Warhol's Marilyn but with this photo of malcolm X
May I ask What for?
>>13942991
If you don't find it I might be able to do something like that for you from scratch. I'll check back.
Before someone asks. I'm doing it for the love of art.
>>13943000
Thank you! Here's a better version of that photo.
I have been googling for quite a while and I doubt I am going to find it. I originally saw that image in some documentary maybe 10 years ago. I don't remember much about that documentary, not even its theme. The only thing I can remember about it is that at one point the narrator said "and then came the 60's" and random 60's themed colorful images were displayed for few secs. Fake Warhol Malcolm X was one of them.
bump for art
>>13943039
Yeah, no problem. I'm doing another shop right at the moment but I'll do this one next. It won't be pure Warhol...because, well, I'm not....but it will be that flavor or my interpretation of it.
Think you could dig up a source pic that's not in b&w in the meantime?
bump for black supremecy
>>13943039
Rousey fight over...wow. Finishing up another shop atm. Will start on this after that.
>>13942991
You still here op? No color pic??
>>13942991
Hey, if you bailed out I'm gonna do the same. Will check back in 5 or 10 minutes.
>>13943368
Not op but I don't think there exists a color pick of that image
>>13943389
Ok, I was thinking of using a different pic of him if not. Wasn't sure if that would meet his request. I might've been able to do it from b&w...not sure exactly.
But if he's not back in a few to let me know I'm gonna bail anyway.
>>13943196
That's the most iconic and funniest Malcolm X photo and I was not able to find a color version of it. I guess most photos from 60's are in b&w.
>>13943397
Are you the op? Funny? What's the deal with this request / whats your intent?
>>13943401
Yeah, I am the OP. I like that photo. When I say funny, I don't mean it disrespectfully. I find Malcolm X's story inspiring because of his courage and because of his life's last chapter. How he denounced the cult he had worked for and could finally see things clear.
>>13943425
Ok op, I'll give it a shot just to see if I can do it. I'm not really into a political statement myself one way or the other.
>>13943425
Update, there's a quick and lazy way i could do this. I'm doing it the other way. Still no guarantee it'll be a masterpiece but I know how I'm going to try and do it.
>>13943425
Still here op? I've had to kind of invent some techniques to make this happen. Invent as in they're new to me and I haven't read about them anywhere so they're new to me. This would be tile 1 in upper left corner. Is this along the lines of what you were looking for?
>>13943517
OP here. I think the treshold level should be adjusted so that color could also be applied to his face, hand and clothes.
>>13943535
frame 2. each of the 9 frames will have unique coloring. you have a coloring request?
>>13943517
Also, you have taken a big part of his head off. I think something like this would be more accurate?
Good job acknowledging that he is a redhead. Its often forgotten as most pics of him are b&w.
>>13943535
and the face/clothing is colored in frame 1. it's an orange/brown blend. only thing left black and white is the radio mic sign.
>>13943552
It was hard to see where the head ended. I'll go with yours and work from there.
>>13943546
I like the color themes in warhol's original marilyn monroe. Bright colors. Often almost opposite colors.
It's a bit like looking at neon lights.
>>13943571
Yeah, not sure I'm up to what you're looking for. This is fun but pretty painstaking too. I'm trying to apply myself but this is new ground for me.
And it occurs to me that I've very possibly run into you before here. You seem to have pretty good photoshop knowledge and some particular tastes in terms of quality.
>>13943571
You're the anon who did this, aren't you?
>>13943575
>>13943574
hmmmmm
>>13943595
I would've almost bet money on that one. Still might lol. Anyway, I did frame 2 over. In the ballpark?
>>13943574
Haven't been to 4chan in years. Quit being a nerd and became a "daygamer". Lol. Just came back because of this Malcolm X pic. Just installing photoshop to see what I can do. Just did this with paint. It's a beginning.
>>13943598
If this isn't close to what you're looking for let me know. I don't mind moving forward with this but there's no need for me to post if it's not what you're looking for. If not that's ok. I'm giving it my best effort.
>>13943599
I'm looking for a more Andy Warhol type color themes. I'm making my own versions (if I'm capable) and am probably going to just copy his color themes.
>>13943612
Looking forward to seeing what you're going to make.
>>13943609
Nice work. You're probably going to be able to knock this out for him better that I would've been able to. I'm still going to do this offline just for the learning but am going to get off here for now and get some sleep.
Also, you can think I'm crazy if you want but despite anything said here I'm inclined to think that you.....
>>13943571
and you....
>>13943575
and you...
>>13943609
and (for the record) you...
>>13942021
...are all the same guy. If I'm right there's no way in hell I'm gonna get an admission on that. But if I'm right, it was an honor to have gotten the opportunity to do some work for you. Yes, even if you're pranking me. As you know, I'm a fan. Good night.
>>13943623
See that last post from me. I wasn't going for an exact replica of Warhol's color schemes from that Monroe piece btw. Warhol used lots of different color schemes. I was going for colors that, to me, seemed to fit the subject. Or, to put it another way, I was going wherever my creativity wanted to take me. Not that "my creativity" is that spectacular of course. Unlike certain other shoppers who'll remain nameless at this point. Again, good night. I enjoyed working on this for you.
>>13943632
Lol, I am:

Other than that, haven't been to 4chan in years
OP Here,
Adjusted the treshold level.
Trying to work with this image.
Anyone can feel free to use it.
>>13943642
So you're the alpha anon who showed me and Berger how to do bounce gifs about a week ago. The guy I beefed with last night after the bjf debacle. Right?
If so will you please let me be a fucking fan? I know, I know. You're humble. But I don't want anything more than to acknowledge your talent and say thanks. That's al.
>>13943653
Lol. He maybe writes like me because he also is not a native speaker.
I'm a total noob at editing images. I just saw some video on youtube that gave me couple of useful tips.
>Other than that, haven't been to 4chan in years
>Just installing photoshop to see what I can do. Just did this with paint. It's a beginning.
Sure. ;)
>>13943659
Haha, ok man. Ok. Enough already. You're killing me!
I might not be as clever as you but come on.
Listen alpha anon, I'd LOVE to do this project for you. I really would. You're without a doubt the most cryptic, mysterious and enigmatic fucker on 4chan...if not on the internet. And I dig that too. I don't wanna blow it for you. That's not my goal. But, puhleasse, don't insult my intelligence that badly. I don't even mind you yanking my chain for whatever reason. But I have a feeling you can play this "I'm a noob / just in staling photoshop / haven't been to 4chan in years / got tips from youtube" thing all night and all day long. I'm not gonna be THAT much fun for you this time. But if you want me to do the malcom x thing for you offline I will. Even though you could do it a thousand times better for me. You only need be straight enough to admit the general truth of who I'm talking to...that you're the guy I think you are. No more than that. Ball's in your court.
And I'm just a 5 year old kid. Couldn't sleep so got up for some warm milk. Saw this post on 4 chan...first time here in months...and was intrigued by the malcom x thing. Made the bg transparent in case any of you ops want to use it. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go piss the bed........
>>13943668
I'll bookmark this thread and come back to it. If you want me to work on this offline for you, you know the deal. But if the conditions are right I'll do the project offline and post it in a new thread when I'm done. I have no doubt you'll find it with ease.
And nice work 5-yr old kid.....
>>13943672
Oh, btw that "did this with Paint" bit? That was classic! Hope Photoshop installed ok for you. lol
>>13943668
I am not entirely sure whether you're being sarcastic or not.
If you aren't, then, you should consider the possibility of me being someone who's even a bigger "alpha anon" (whatever the fuck it means), than whoever you think I am.
I will appreciate if you keep working on this project.
(I used to draw as a teen. Maybe that gives me superhuman ability to erase pixels in ms paint.)
>>13943688
paint is more awesome you think,
>>13943690
>>13943693
Ok, fair enough. Whatever the scenario here you're elite. I don't want to be so rude as to be persistent my claim, whatever my intuition tells me. Besides, an elite who wants to be as anon as the invisible man will have their way anyway and it's probably best not to poke that person with a stick. So I won't.
I got in on this project without any notion of it being a request from a random anon. Since my own skills aren't that impressive, I put a pretty fair amount of effort into coming up with what I did. I will go ahead and do the project. If this thread is dead I'll post it in a new thread. I've been up for a couple of nights in a row and a crash is imminent. But I will do this for you and do my best.
>>13943712
...without it being "anything other than" a request from a random anon...
>>13943693
Thanks for the tip on paint too. You're right. I was thinking of it as a basic tool without too much function. I'll have to try and dig up some info and learn about that.
4 am f.am. I gave up after the first 30 seconds.
Found a few pics I'll use for color/style influence along with the Marilyn at top of page.
OP here, This is where I got with it.
Used photoshop to readjust treshold level
Other than that, just used paint.
>>13943746
Man, I need to just stop and go learn about paint. If you wanna point me in a direction that'd be great. I need to go back to school. Great work OP. I don't think you need my version.
>>13943746
Seriously, OP, your version looks like it was actually done by Warhol. No bs. It's absolutely impressive. Since I'm dropping that part about you being this guy....
>>13943575
I'll just say my encounter with you has been almost exactly like the ones with him. It starts with me thinking I know a tiny bit. It ends with me realizing I know nothing. But I learned.
So thank you. It's always a pleasure to be in the presence of someone with your level of skill. I hope that eventually I can do the things you do. I'm picking up a little every day. I usually find the most painful way possible to do it, but it's still worth it. I can't believe I took so much time to deliver so little...and visa versa for you. Again,truly impressive.
>>13943774
OK.
I showed you how I used paint to remove the background.
This was the youtube video I mentioned:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48_YWccD3Z4
Didn't do adobe illustrator part
and after that it was just about coloring the white spots
>>13943825
Thanks. You have very impressive and distinct skills. I'll study the video as well as the work you did in this thread. I respect you Anon. I'll leave it at that.
>>13943774
And you asked me the purpose of this project. I just wanted a cool start screen for my phone. Didn't tell you because that wasn't very inspiring or ambitious.
>>13943828
Well you've got to have the most inspiring and ambitions start screen out there. It was totally worth it for me to spend half my night trying to come up with that....and I'm being genuine here...it was worth it for me to spend an inordinate amount of time to produce a product absolutely inferior to yours because....
It gave me the opportunity to ask you how it was you did it. And that's how I learn.
I swear, sometimes when I brush up against the likes of you here on /r/ it feels almost like some kind of test. Like if I could just get good enough then there's something more. Like a tryout or something.
I'd say it's driving me crazy but, technically, I was probably there before I ever came to 4chan. Am I in the matrix or what?
fixed his teeth and now its complete
>>13943836
Indeed. Indeed.

>>13943836
Anything else in general you'd recommend I check out? I always stay in the learning mode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D7cPH7DHgA
>>13943840
its easy to add detail (I.e. teeth & eyes) in paint when you zoom the image to biggest possible size
when you don't know how to go about doing something, just google/youtube search
when I started this post this morning i had no idea i could so easily recreate fake warhol malcolm x
it was all thanks to that Indian dude.
>>13943859
Really? Whoa. I swear that tonight's been such a trip to me. There's another guy on 4chan with just superior skills and it's like he's always one step ahead or one step behind me...whichever he feels like. Once he told me to apply myself after I'd posted a "pretty good" xray. He's dropped bits and pieces of info here and there that have moved me to the next level. He chastised me for taking a name and said I should be humble....and that I could have been part of something great if I didn't want praise. I mean, it's a real trip. I would say it's been several different people but, I'm sorry, the skillset that guy has is like a fingerprint. And if that's really not you...hat's off. You're the first I've encountered here who's pulled that off. Or if you are him...I get it, you want to stay anonymous. And my head is about to explode.

Wasn't happy with the first one.

OP here,
Made these into high fidelity photos with illustrator
