SFM Making Your Own Valve Portrait

[@steg3823]

When your done and you want to try your hand at making more posters, I have several videos that go in depth on not only how to make a poster, but why certain things work the way they do.

[@powerpunki3858]

I frickin love you dude, you've taught me all I know about sfm bro

[@demekrii]

You're* lol all jokes aside this really helped thanks for the good work

[@laal6794]

SFM check Photoshop check Patience ... fuck

[@steg3823]

+Aelan it happens it happens

[@laal6794]

I am also kind of new to sfm (30h) and I bought photoshop 1 month ago so it is kinda harder for me but I really like your tutorials

[@tubagus.a2159]

me to i struggle

[@zhaohuangsfm]

Photoshop Paid Photopea FREE!

[@zekyral]

sfm, check photoshop pirated patience....foreign

[@thenot-socoolkid1014]

I have no idea what he was doing the whole time but it looked cool.

[@thenot-socoolkid1014]

I think I need to visit some of his tutorials

[@Degela65]

Dude this was lit

[@dumbfluff2453]

LammieLlama WHY DO PEOPLE SAY LIT WHEN YOU CAN SAY ITS COOL LIKE HOLY SHIT

[@FoxFriedRice]

^ triggered

[@dumbfluff2453]

Phawks not only am I triggered, I'm just simply done with it.

[@theobsidianshvl]

@@dumbfluff2453 you still done with it bruv?

[@dumbfluff2453]

Knockout idk what made me so mad three years ago bro

[@Akio_Kuno]

That is so incredible I would definitely commission one of these if you do or did them

[@plasticwalnut7650]

Akio If he does, I'd definitely be interested in the price for a commission

[@neorej7863]

same

[@teztezi]

Akio Same here.

[@Akio_Kuno]

Ayy! I am not alone here, that's awesome at least. :D

[@skaldicmusings]

Same here....not sure what class my weird horse character would be, probably the Scout....but whatever....

[@jackoshaughnessy1116]

I would love to do this but: 1. Can't afford photoshop 2. Can't run sfm

[@dunke6348]

1. get pirated ps 2. youre fucked sry...

[@LoniTheFricc]

are you seriously playing on a toaster with a screen how can you not run sfm im sorry im just intrigued

[@corntaI]

stop reading your macbook and sell it for a legit pc, best decision of your life.

[@melmonsmith9306]

1. There isn't one person on earth with a legit copy 2. Optimize your computer settings

[@lincolnpervertproject1776]

@@melmonsmith9306 Actually, I've got a legit copy that I don't pay for. If you go into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\AMT , take out application.xml, edit it with notepad, look for key="TrialSerialNumber", replace the last number of the serial number and up it by 1 and baddabing baddaboom you got yourself a reset trail. You can do it forever.

[@Sinstarclair]

"Actual Patience" as if SFM hasn't already tested that

[@luminite2569]

You sir, are a fucking wizard

[@heyjastin718]

I thought Muselk was the wizard, get it? Hahaha.. ha.. okay. :I

[@SammOBracketBracketBracket]

HeyJastin .....

[@nuclearfilms9754]

It's not magic, It's technology!

[@relic5975]

How do I download patience can you put a link !!!!!!!

[@Sn0wLeopard]

I don't know if you're joking or being serious judging by you're account picture and username.

[@relic5975]

BackAllyWayCunt joke and I know that my name is angsty as f but I don't see wats wrong with my pic it's me when I was younger doing archery ?

[@Sn0wLeopard]

+xXMcSeanenstonXx Well putting a picture on the internet of you isn't bad or anything, it's just that i don't think that putting a image that has real things happening or real people is necessary not that you have to never post these types of images i just don't recommend it. I would like to see something a bit different like a photoshop as a account picture not a photo that anyone can take with a phone or camera etc.

[@FlawlessRemix]

You're really stupid if you thought that was serious, and now you're literally having a rant on his profile picture, lmao

[@Sn0wLeopard]

+FlawlessRemix Wow you've hurt my feelings, that's not very nice.

[@Shizilol]

Looks like you've been working with Valve for the posters

[@zyibesixdouze4863]

Luckily, I play Pyro so I have no need for eyes. Not so lucky, Pyro has a lot of shadows.

[@spartanspaceman5876]

Pyro has the most shadows so then it gives him a more scary and inhuman look.

[@higps]

Great tutorial, I don't know anything about PS but this was a really interesting watch. Good stuff!

[@jordanfryman9597]

Found you from that reddit post, and i have to say, this is fucking awesome!

[@steg3823]

Thanks man

[@MerinoMaraschino]

amazing as usual

[@Doomsdayexe]

Shot's fired at me within the first 20s, love you dude

[@steg3823]

+Doomsday.exe heh, I considered it a compliment. No idea how you can handle mixing with a mouse

[@jdprofanitybatman5212]

Congrats on making it to 1,000 subs. Hope the best for the future :)

[@steg3823]

JD The Cranberry thanks, you to man. Keep in contact >:)

[@jdprofanitybatman5212]

Alright my friend >:)

[@steg3823]

I'm working on a tf2 video I promise. I'm really sorry that it's taking so long tho :/. Hopefully it'll be Wack

[@kushine_]

Welp, a thousand subs. Do something big about that.

[@steg3823]

Which means I have to take a bit of a break from my tf2 video but what ever lol. I wanna try to get a small video out first and then make a bigger one soon after

[@Gamers-em1ze]

can u do 1 soldier with honcho's headgear the classifed coif and the Cuban Bristle Crisis same art like this plsss?

[@YourBestBudd55]

"be careful to not make a mistake" i thought CTRL + Z was a thing

[@pompmaister2438]

Steg can you make a poster for me? I use the ya olde paper boy, the 3d glasses and cool cat. (all in pink) thanks in advance ;)

[@B.B.B]

you need _patience_

[@BeatCrazey]

Great job with the quality and explanation!

[@Xenoks01]

This is incredible, I'm definitely gonna try this style on something else I'm making.

[@dafloof9865]

Wicked, wonderd how they got them looking so nice, along with the touch ups to the regular update artwork.

[@stealthguy7249]

I love how he's still in t pose it looks silly behind the scenes

[@DemonicDevilDiran]

This tutorial was amazing! It also helped me learn how SFM works in the process. It took my whole day up but it was worth it!

[@ProfessorTurnipAlpha]

Holy Mary, mother of Joseph! This is some top-quality stuff!

[@ultrakillmustdie]

You are my favorite KZbinr in the SFM community, i always enjoy your videos and they are very helpful, i can even apply some things in Gmod and that helps with my friends who wants to start doing posters and they don't have that much experience!

[@somedecidueye7292]

This was absolutely insane. Not only is it helpful, but you are just legendary for having that level of patience and getting a super accurate result! In short, awesome tutorial. How long did the picture in the video take?

[@damsel_deere]

Found this in my reccomended and it was really helpful. Thanks, also you got a new sub. ;)

[@skarletblu3239]

this is so cool! I love your work, keep it up my dude!

[@yondertf2]

I love Moby Francke's art style so. Damn. Much. This is great, btw!!

[@zam9366]

this is actually pretty good mate

[@cleavervalley]

PersonalityDisorder Fui Tapeado!

[@theonlinedemon]

Hey, just saw your channel and I really like your posters. I'm trying to get better at doing posters in SFM and your channel showed up. Thanks allot mate! Posters look awesome! ;)

[@steg3823]

theonlinedemon I'm glad I can help

[@thevideocommenter3061]

When i first the thumbnail first i thought valve makes them lol this is really great nice effort

[@steg3823]

+TheVideo Commenter thank you

[@LiquidPixel__]

this is neat. tip for tablet users though, along the top bar when using brush there is a symbol that looks like a dartboard. this is pressure sensitive opacity and is much easier to use when mixing colours like within the eye for example. if your tablet supports pressure sensitivity it should work. Good video man, I do more digital art stuff now maybe I might come back and make more videos.

[@haydenots3019]

that was really cool! despite me having mediocre knowledge in PS i still found this video very entertaining, thank you!

[@sheam7e]

Steg, legit, I love your voice

[@annepandesal]

Insane...this is amazing dude!!

[@CRRNCRW]

Photoshop: Yep Art Skills: Yep SFM: Yep Patience: oh no

[@m9jacob583]

easy and straight to the point. even though I quit tf2 after 5 years, it was still enjoyable to watch :)

[@sam248]

This was really cool, now I need to find an sfm artist and commission one of these :D

[@briansoeters4951]

This is awesome, only if i knew how to use photoshop and sfm... :C

[@steg3823]

I made tutorials to help with that. If your interested in trying.

[@HeckinDarn]

"to make a valve portrait, you will need Source Filmmaker, Photoshop and _actual patience_" .... darn

[@KaptainCnucklz]

For the lazy: Add a little soften/blur. Add a little contrast. Add a little sepia. Won't look nearly as good, but some combination of the three can look decent at lower resolutions.

[@sirfailsalot3459]

suggestion: You should make a basic/beginner for this, because i think it would be really cool for a profile picture or something :)

[@icaruszx4993]

epic af. Amazing as always

[@nyshtar]

Congratulations For 2k Subs!

[@skipbleh795]

Just... Amazing, Keep up the good work

[@reeke3415]

Looks easy try's it one year later... I'm done

[@steg3823]

heh. Its definitely rewarding tho

[@PanKarmeleq]

Too bad I'm piss poor and can't afford Photoshop Great turotial nonetheless. You explained it really well.

[@brycefechner2802]

this is awesome you should be proud dude

[@Dazeencraft]

Will you make posters? If you do how much it would cost, too lazy to make one myself (+I suck) 😆

[@Nedoiko]

hmm! actually its a pretty neat tutorial, It must be my bad mood today but i came here expecting it to be bad, But its actually pretty good!

[@vapor404]

You earned another sub I hope your going to do more art tutorials in the future cause I really need to brush up on my art

[@EM-bf4hb]

Very nice tutorial, Steg!

[@jakestanger9216]

If I had those skills, I would love to make it any day, so, what i'm saying is great job, you're very talented with Photoshop

[@steg3823]

Thank you

[@Volnutt196]

I've always dreamed of having my own TF2 poster with my main and it's loadout. Like, mine is the Scout with the Flap Jack, Bonk Boy, and Caffiene Cooler. Now, thanks to this video, it's possible for me! Thanks, boi.

[@Unique-Stupidity]

Found you on ifunny, was not disappointed.

[@thecollegegrad]

Really helpful. Thanks, also great video.

[@martianfilms9902]

Man this tutorial was cool, I mean there was nicely done editing. Very cool that it does have a bit of TF2 art style on the portrait. I would do one these on some of my artwork (sometimes multiple people) too. However, I don't have Photoshop , but I have Gimp and Paint.NET to use.

[@momsspaghetti9251]

Awesome vid! Thanks a lot.

[@arisaka233]

Holy motherfucking god, is this perfection at its finest? I think it is

[@zerofox6844]

really nice, mate

[@henrikvarga5053]

God damn you deserve a lot more subs

[@zekeoric1204]

Top tier tutorial. Nice!

Amazing man! You could make money off of this

[@MrKekenny]

That's sick!

Noicely done love it

[@Ara-..]

ooo whenever i get my drawing tablet ill make some of these : )

[@miroslavvlodarcik6642]

fast, easy, simple. Great tutorial

[@pieniory9839]

I dont want to do this cuz its hard to me but ill leave my likes from my accounts here. Good job mate

[@srhotty]

People using sfm: Its so easy to use! Me, trying to figure out why i have so many issues:

[@Rajclaw]

That mouth made the scout look like a different person almost...

[@bannedfromig]

This is like nft art But 100x better

[@MindlessLight]

Well you're getting 1000 subs tonight pretty sure

[@user-ev8lv7ot1x]

Looks great

[@MrFunreal]

HAve you ever heard of "view target" in the rig of sfm? you can make the eyes look anywhere you want.

[@steg3823]

I think I tired it but it didn't work (prob because I messed a setting up) gave up and just did it in ps. I was slightly rushing that's why lol

[@TheTruestPug]

jesus, mine took like 5-6 hours from start to finish but id say it looks pretty good

[@luciusrex8604]

If I get hands on this technique, I'll be commisioning keys!

[@lux-fk9bd]

AWESOME I WOULD PROBABLEY DO THIS

[@deepsheep6673]

Aprendí más de Photoshop con este vídeo que cualquier otro video

[@joshualontoc4465]

"1000's coming up" *Looks at subbox* _BOI_

[@joshualontoc4465]

Too hard (Heheh, *Hard*( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) This is way too much effort for a poster, Would it be easier to find an artist to replicate the style?

[@OrisTV]

great video

[@steg3823]

Ty sir

[@LetoPartizan]

I will pay someone in unusuals if they can make a self portrait of the Engineer with a hotrod

[@galymkemali6082]

man, you are making very useful vids! I will scrubscribe to you!

[@squishy9090]

chad

[@laal6794]

2 things 1st of all "Thanks for 800 subs" next day 1.2k subs... 2nd of all I failed so bad I can't make engineer get that pose and when I kinda gave up I got the closest one went to photoshop and could not for hell get the background then I just gave up... but other then that good video you explained everything good I just suck at life

[@drbodacious1520]

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that the part about the eyes is unnecessary, if you create a keyframe for the eyes instead of using the slider, you can manually adjust the rotation by clicking the keyframe, and manually adjusting its value

[@sarjo2501]

Do you do commisions? This looks so sick dude

[@Marrhuggu]

sh*t, that's good. i need to try this out.

[@benbot0733]

Why am i watching this I don't even use SFM

[@pig2885]

1,000 subs!!! :D

[@TopEditorCoach]

Woah i did not know this was possible

[@someguystudios23]

Me: Yay! I can't wait to do this cool thing! Steg: You need Photosh(it)op Me: Goodbye! I painstakingly learned the "difficult" Source filmmaker, and my brain is not ready to learn photoshop! (and my wallet isn't quite ready to turn to antimatter)

[@HITHEREWINSTON]

Even a CG model gets airbrushing post production.

[@blazakin123]

subbing because I'm hoping you'll be doing commissions in the future lel :)

[@Tetratronic]

Bro, I am not doing any of this. Might as well paint the whole character from scratch. I thought this was gonna be some render setting in SFM.

[@8BitFinn03]

i don't have photoshop. and i have no idea how to use sfm. but i'll work something out.
