I made this earlier but I'm not even sure you can tell that the mask is Frank Mir. I'll share anyway.

I could tell the mask was Mir straight away - well done.

If shoops were kettlebells Mike would make it look easy.

I did not know him but he gave me lots of laughs over the years and the one time i posted a stupid pitcture i made with an app he liked it. I felt a bit starstruck honestly. Dude was a stud.

To those who knew him i am sorry for your loss.

What's the point of life if humans don't even understand the reality of our own existence (one of the take-a-ways from the cave allegory)?

His answer:
The friendships you make along the way.

Bigwaverider was a mountain of a man when you hold him to Plato's standard and measure him by his friendships. Drink a beer with your buddies and share some laughs while your here. That's literally the point of life.

Well said my brother. It could be said that "The Dog" is our Cave... and if this is all we ever know of the world, then so be it... because we have each other.

I used Mike's video to make this. It still has his sig in the corner.

When it came to shoopping, Mike was like Thor with Stormbreaker. Unstoppable.

I'm downloading adobe on my slow 5m internet as we speak. Busy with work until Friday but I'm gonna try my hand at my first shoops before bed tonight. Hope I do BWR proud.

Give us a shout if you want some help.

PS has all the basic tools any cheapo/free editing program has... (paint brush, eraser, cut & paste, moving, resizing & colormatching) and they're fairly easy to use if you just stick to the basics. As you get used to the basics, then start dabbling with more advanced stuff as your time & interest allows. PS will go as deep as you could ever want & seems to go endlessly deep.

hey guys, I finally have a chance to contribute to this thread - but I want to go on a lengthy post here

Let me start with my shoop I made, it's not much but it's in the spirit of things

**** @Arqueto made JAwa Arq thing i just soved it in thats what she said

yeah I was never this great at this stuff but I always thought of @bigwaverider as like Obi Wan Kenobi, a caring teacher devoting his life to how work and helping others learn the ways, like clearly his best student @Arqueto - man that opening post wave shoop is touching and I can imagine it must have been roughh to spend what appears to be HOURS making it eh

~~~

So I felt inspired to look through my own private convos with BWR and found all kinds of gems here, sharing his work feels like a better contribution to this thread than my own crap

hold on I got a lot of things to explain

Whenever we would talk about anything he would turn it into a shoop, he always surprised me with random replies like this

haha look at that how cool is that

Because BWR likes to shoop with ppl avatars, I would of course have an annoying one that requires the middle be cut out. What a pain this must be to work with, but didn't stop him from making stuff like this:

lol now because me and @Myrddin Wild got into some healthy Star Wars debates, he contributed these things as well

I would like to think those previous things with @Myrddin Wild are water under the bridge - we sure did get carried away eh - life too short

so he made this too

How perfect is the above? Well not perfect enough for our perfectionist @bigwaverider who wrote me back shortly after saying it needed to be better

so he made this next one later, see the difference? I think you need super artist eyes:

These are just fucking fantasic man

Here is a few random ones lol:

This is private conversation shit, but regardless always went out of his way to put a smile on his face with artwork

One time the forums were broken and I asked him what happened and he said he missed it and work up like this lol

anywho - yeah I lack confidense and focus and probably have ADD and Im lazy and shit - but he would always inspire me - he told me I can soar as high as I want and made this for me lol

And when I was sick I would get surprise greeting cards, like this

What a spectacular human being man - completely selfless and cared for evveryone man - like I can't say enogh about how special and amazing this person was

I made a crappy shoop and he immediately gave me a tutorial on how to do it better, plus a few more unsolicited tuts for things - all just for me - this is just private messages - I will leave you with these vids - but it goes to show how much joy he had in these things and teaching ppl stuff - we are all better for this stuff

And I will miss him dearly
