Graphics Collection from CD's Ultra-Fine House of Style

You're going back to the Defenders from the Generals for Fort Benton? Or do you actually want to keep the Generals name for them, EC? I'm just curious, that's all. CD out.

CD, as you know, I am hard to please.

Don't feel bad because I don't use your jerseys and caps... I have been very spoiled over the last 15 years... my teams were done mostly by the best of the best here on the OOTP Mods Forum (knuckler, txranger, low and many other very good graphics guys)... it is like Babe Ruth did all my graphics.

You work is fine.

So, please don't feel bad that I don't use your work.... if you want to do them for your IPA, that is fine, but don't do them just for me.

Going back to Defenders... I like their colors better than the Generals... I like the Generals' jerseys and caps, but not the logos... so I am going back to the Defenders... I hope No Pepper can create some good new logos, jerseys and caps that will be better than what I have now for the Defenders... No Pepper will do me an Away Jersey for the Defenders... I never had a good Away Jersey for them... I used the White Home for both Home and Away.

Here's my take on the High Mesa Buckaroos. The name of the font used here for all of the items below here is Revengeance. Use them if you like them and want to use them, or not, if you don't want to use them and/or don't like them, EC and jg2977 and/or others. That is all. CD out.

Arizona Scorpions aren't done yet, at least not by me, as much as possible from my side of things. But when I get at least one cap done for them, they'll be posted along with at least two uniforms for them, for sure. Of course, someone might have to make the needed logos for them, if I can't find them or make them myself, you know, folks. I'll try to have what I'll have done for them posted later, as time warrants and all, in any case. But for now, you'll all just have to wait and see what they might look like here and/or elsewhere. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's my take so far on the Arizona Scorpions, even though I don't actually have any logos for them, as far as I can currently gather, if I'm not too mistaken here. Feel free to comment on these items as you like and can, within reason. The colors chosen basically, if not entirely, come from the now-defunct 1980's USFL and its Arizona Wranglers football team, for your information, folks. The font I used on these items is I AM A PLAYER, just so you know. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Here's my take on the Ozarka Naturals so far, pending the eventual creation and posting of at least one new logo by at least one other person on these forums here. The used font on these items is Decalotype, for your information, folks. That is all. CD out.

EC, don't forget to KEEP your old computer, even after you get your new one, for the reasons I stated before. Make sure that your new computer is as secure as possible, too, so that any potential security holes are less likely to exist, if at all.

As far as the home cap above for Ozarka, I'll probably need to work on it more here. Perhaps I need to omit the interior white trim for the N, and just go with the letter and a single bit of outline instead for it. I'll revisit it later, however, because I'm not quite satisfied with it yet, to be honest.

As far as your desktop screen, did you know you could align the icons on it on a grid, instead of having them all scattered about the screen? It might help your screen look neater when you're viewing your desktop icons, I think, EC.

Talk more later, as time allows and all, Lord willing, of course. I might try tackling a couple more of those teams later, even if I've tried doing things for them before in the past, for sure. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Some computers can last more than 6-10 years, I think, EC, if taken care of well enough. Maybe even decades, at that, if I'm not too mistaken here. While you may be nearly 82, however, that doesn't mean that you won't last at least another 8 or so years, of course. It's all up to the Lord how long you'll live, and how long each of the rest of us will, you know.

I don't know how much time we each have left in this world, of course, but I do know who holds our lives in His Hands, and that is God, for sure. We may last days or weeks or months before we leave this world, or we could live years yet. In any case, our King is coming. I don't know when He'll be here just yet, obviously, but the stage is currently being set for His return, although a lot more will have to happen before that occurs, for sure.

Come what may, I will still trust Him to watch over me and provide for me in the future, and not only me, but those around me, as He wills and all, for sure. I may ultimately end up getting called Home before His return, or killed, but I will still trust Him and love Him and all, most definitely. I am concerned for many people in this world, but they will have to make their own choices in life, if they haven't already, about many things and/or people, before they eventually leave this world themselves. Just as I will and you will, et cetera, you know.

As long as I am here, however, I intend to be about my Father's business as best as I can be, and as often as I can be, no matter what that is, or what it may entail. And once my time is over and done in this life, I hope to be at rest with our Lord and our King forever, one way or another, Lord willing and all, of course. And, obviously, see my dear Homegone brother again, for sure, you know, EC. CD out.

You did a fine job on the Ozarka Naturals, CD.
Don't take the white out of the Away Jersey lettering... it makes it stand out very well... removing it would not be an improvement in my opinion... good contrast is very important... it is one area you need to work on... sometimes you have poor contrast on your graphics work.

I would consider using Ozarka in my IPA.

You did well on the High Mesa Buckaroos, too... but they are a little bit too plain and simple for me... don't think you used shading and cotton texture on the original post.
Did you go back and change the original post and revise the set?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I meant on the home cap, EC. Not any other part of the set. The N doesn't look quite right on the home cap, at least as far as I can currently tell here, probably due to the color of the front panel for it or something. That's all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

As far as the Buckaroos, I may work on them more later. But what I have for them so far is above, in any case. Maybe once we get some new logos for those teams, I might be able to improve what I've got for them here, EC. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

Look at the texture and shading on the Ozarka set I created.

I like my shading better... light shading is my preference... you usually choose a darker shading, which I think is not good for the contrast between jersey and lettering.

I chose cotton texture on this set.

I no longer use "cotton"... I prefer "none" in the texture settings... but it really doesn't make much of a difference... cotton and none are almost identical.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I don't believe I used any textures for the uniforms or caps that I made for Ozarka's Naturals, for your information. I may have used shading on one cap, perhaps, but only one, if I'm not too mistaken here, too. Just so you know. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

The changes you made on the High Mesa Cowboys improved them.

They are much better than the first post.

I would use your High Mesa set in my IPA.

Yes, I noticed that the second time I looked at the Ozarka set... you need some shading on them in my opinion.

With shadings, I would use them in the IPA.

Plain jersey and caps don't look good in my opinion.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I made the High Mesa Buckaroos set above. I've only done and posted them once. I don't know if I'll make more items for them, but I've only made two uniforms and two caps for them so far. Just so you know this, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Well, you generally prefer more traditional looks and colors, with little to no shading and all for them, and that's what I was trying to do here for you, in relation to your teams, at least. I may have to revisit a few of the above teams, either ones from your leagues or not, I think, in any case, eventually. But not for a while yet, perhaps. CD out.

CD, I appreciate your help, but chances are I will not use your jerseys and caps... I will probably use No Pepper's when he updates 10 of my IPA teams... this does not mean your work is not good, it just means No Pepper is better skilled and experienced than you... it does not mean you work is not good.

Please use your time on creating graphics for your leagues.. don't spend any more time on my IPA teams.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Not even for my own personal versions of them to use in my non-public IPA or my public Eudageron Baseball Federation-related versions of them? jg2977 seems to like at least some of the work I've done for them as well, and all, you know. Just wondering, that's all. CD out.
