Kaybee's Emoji Workshop

[Kaybee]

Hey all, I've been creating some emojis - some static, some gifs - and figured to share them here as I make them. Some are new, some are old ones that have gone missing from Sherdog that I have recreated, and some are just remasters of current Sherdog emojis that I thought could use a touch up.

Feel free to request something if there is something out there that you think would make a cool emoji!

I'll be keeping an archive below for easy access

First one is the classic BJ Penn emoji that went missing, recreated.

Cabo Diaz

Actually kinda surprised (motherfucker) that this was never turned into one.

Karolina

I did one of Eddie Bravo, but I'm not sure whether or not to leave the mic in. I think it looks better sans mic, but the other thing in front of him does stand out more without the mic.

DeAndre Jordan

Steph Curry
**EDIT** Apparently another version of this got added recently or I just never noticed it?

Costanza

Nice work @Kazzy. No one ever appreciates this stuff.

Just curious, how do you remove the background? Its very clean and seems like it would take ages and be choppy on a multiple layered gif the way i would do it with path selection & eraser. Is there a trick/better method that saves time?

It depends on the source gif. For some of the more static gifs I will paint an outline of what I want to remove and then use either magic wand or quick select to select it, then delete said selection across multiple layers. Of course, any gif that is essentially shot in front of a solid background can be knocked out quickly with the magic wand as well.

For the more active ones like the BJ Penn and Platinum ones I did mostly have to use eraser and lasso, and it does take a bit more time, though I did still use the painted outline technique for certain parts like Mike's hair that I wanted to keep consistent but would be difficult to manually pick out from the background. I'm sure there are shortcuts if you have access to the full Adobe suite, but I'm just using Adobe Photoshop Elements and I don't know of any quicker ways to do it.

Thanks for the insight! I use gimp so i dont have the magic wand tool, but im going to try out your painted outline technique -i think i could make it work still. Keep up the good work! Cheers.

Nice one Kazzy, we need them in the official sherdog library!

Great work Kazzy!!

These are lots of fun!

 

[Valhoven]

Awesome, Kaz. Keep up the good work.

 

[Lethal]

Great work with these. We lost a lot of emojis because the previous Admin that was in charge of them had them uploaded on Photobucket, and they don't allow hotlinking anymore.

I will try and get some of these added tomorrow once I have access to my desktop.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Hey these are good.



Have they been added? I wanna use some of them.

They have not been added as official emojis. However, any of them can be copy and pasted into posts like other "unofficial" emojis.

I've been meaning to add some more but I've been slacking; maybe I'll hammer out a few this week!

 

[PurpleStorm]

Gotcha. Thanks.
