I have a challenge for anyone of the great artists willing to experiment with something fun. My wife and I are big Brian Dawkins fans. It is well known that Dawkins is a big Wolverine fan, as is my wife. What I would like is a wallpaper done with Dawkins' image with Wolverine's blades on his hands. There are some pictures out there of Dawkins flexing and I think it'd look great. I'm providing a picture below to possibly go on, but it's not my first choice so whatever you think would work is going to be fine with me. Also, could the words Weapon X be imposed somewhere in the picture?

If anyone could do this for us it'd be awesome. Thanks. ;-D

I came up with something random because I was bored:

It's not that good because I'm not very good at this (i'm still learning about graphics), but I like the blur look and feel.

Let me know if you want any changes.

Questions or Comments? PM me.

Thanks for doing this dan. I sent a copy to my wife, ultimately who it's for, so I'll let you know what she thinks.

Ok, I talked to the wife about it and she has some 'requests'. First of all, she'd really like one of the pictures where he's got both arms raised. If you can't find one, that's ok. Second, she doesn't like the black border very much, I guess. She'd like that colored up a bit. I tried to explain to her that icons will go on that, but she still doesn't care for it. My personal request would be to see if you could do something different with the 'X' in Weapon X. Something fancy and explosive maybe. Do what you can. I appreciate it and she does like it already....

Ok...

I've been under the weather these past few days (and still am actually) so it may take a little more time.

The new picture will be very hard to find. I searched google, and a few databases, and that was about the best picture I could find for what you want (unless you want me to use that pic which you provided, which is kind of small for a wall). I'll see what I can do... but let me know.

As far as color... does she want some sort of collage for color? Or a single flat color other than black. Like I said, I'm not very good, so it might take a while with experimentation and all, to do some sort of collage of color. (Thus my need for new brushes... :-/ )

As for the X, I can take care of that easily enough! ;-D

I really appreciate you doing this for us dan and hope you're feeling better.

As far as the picture goes, if you're unable to find exactly what I was thinking of, don't worry about it. I like the picture you have. I think it's one of his more signature 'poses' so it definitely works. I was wondering what you thought about a sunburst effect from behind him? Something that captures the idea of Dawkin's intensity.

Again, we appreciate it a ton and we're looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Also, she does like the first one, has it on the computer at home right now. But, she did say, depending on how it comes out, she wants to print it out and display it.

Hey, Omaha, I thought about taking this right when you posted it, but decided not to. Anyways, I gave it a shot since it didn't look like one ever got finished. This is my first wall, but let me know what you think. I think it turned out pretty freakin awesome. :-b
