Shoop SHOOP Dat BIGWAVERIDER R.I.P. Brother

[AleYeah]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BWR retires as the undisputed champ of shooping.

[Arqueto]

The Champ

Haha, nice. I missed this and I don't think I ever saw you shoop before bud. Awesome.

 

[Mittens]

I quite suck at this, but I think the Swayze quote fit so nicely and even a superbly half-assed novice shoop attempt is part of keeping the spirit of @bigwaverider alive in the world...

EDIT:


Redit it. Works better with the characters reversed - both in the pic and also with the concept that BWR would have been Bodhi to Mir's Johnny Utah surfwingwise, no doubt.

I'm going to run out of likes within 2 pages of this thread so I want to say I appreciate everyone's responses to this thread! Amazing. RIP BWR

You won the thread. Nothing can top this one .

Thanks bud. I've dabbled over the years but its a stretch to call what I do "shooping". I basically copy/paste. Every now and then I might feather the edges to try for a smoother blend or something, but beyond that, I really don't know what I'm doing.

And the truth is I wouldn't be doing it at all if it weren't for BWR. He definitely encouraged me to join in despite my lack of skills. And I'm forever grateful that he did.

Here's a few of mine from over the years

Nice, those are awesome bud and I do remember the leather jacket one and the Rebelfett one. You should definitely do more bro.

He should have won 2020 SOTY too. I'm a fraud and only won because he pulled out.

He's also won every contest at least once and nobody has done that. GOAT stuff.

I'm new to shooping after all these years of just observing, so it takes me a little while. Might try to use actual photo editing software at some point as well.

That's awesome bro. The shoop community is here for you if you want some help with anything, so let us know.

We lost the greatest shooper of all time my fellow sherbro's. It's our duty and our honour to give him the greatest send-off we possibly can by honouring our fallen brother Michael @bigwaverider Simmons and shooping him.

Mike's family has gone above and beyond for us to make this happen and have given us permission to use Mike's image. They have spent days communicating with me and @Myrddin Wild and sending us images that we can use for this thread. So let's keep it classy his family will be watching this and the last thing I want to do is let them down in any way.

Please keep it about the art and I know everyone would like to contribute but let's keep these first few pages for shoops. Let's bring our A-game here my fellow shoopers this is @bigwaverider we're talking about here don't just spam shoops for the sake of it. Let's make them all count and mean something.

​

I've remade bigwaveriders original Mir bone break AV so if anyone wants to use it please download it. We did something similar for Mike when his father passed away and most of Sherdog was wearing his Papa Mir AV to support our brother during that difficult time. Let's do that again and show our love for Mike by rocking his legendary AV but now we get to see the man himself in it.

I'm going to add Mike's images into a spoiler as well as some of his Mir images that he used so you guys can use both. Let's get shooping!!! and make this the biggest and best shoop thread we have ever seen.

Edit: it may take a while for the first page to load as it's going to be gif heavy so be patient and make sure to check out everyone's art.

The tribute's off to a great start, Arq. Thanks a ton for putting it together.

 

[MacGregor]

If anyone wants to add one we can string them all together. Someone, myself included, would be more than happy to add family if they wish, or others who can't gif.
