Here is my first Custom try

I have been wanting to try it for a while, and I've gotten lots of help from this board! Thanks for the help, and eventually I would like to try something harder, but I thought I should start easily. The biggest problem I am having is cutting out the player, and making it look smooth. So how should I do that? Also I couldn't really find a great picture to use for this player, so if you have any please let me know. Also would this look okay if I get it signed in blue?

Looks great to me! You did a nice job with the cutout.

That cut looks awesome! I was expecting to see a Detroit Tigers custom though....what program did you use?

Thanks! I used photoshop cs4, and cs5 for the cutting. My computer doesn't have enough ram for cs5, but I used my brother's for the cutting. It's a LOT easier with cs5 because it has refine edges and a smoothing tool after you make the selection. Once I figure out how to do some more complex things, I'm definately going to do some Tigers. Blair White is from here, so I should be able to get him sometime and that's why I went with him. If anyone has tips on how to make other designs I would appreciate it. I just used motion blur for this one on the advice of bigga.
