The New Project

[Benjamin Grimm]

One thing that can be done in PhotoShop is we can draw (or paste) an orange interlocking NY on the blue cap.

Willie's in your inbox.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Is that what you say to all the girls?

[soupcan]

He'll be here all week folks.

[HahnSolo]

So where are you guys finding photos big enough? Any Gotay portrait I find I run through and it is too small.

Is there some obvious place I should be looking but am not?

[Guest Edgy DC]

The pictures don't seem to have as much to do with the transfer as your own editing. I'd take the biggest one you can find, download it, and then resize it.

m.e.t.b.o.t. is disappointed to see that, once again, robots are left out of the collective consciousness.

m.e.t.b.o.t. also notices that squids are not included in this activity. m.e.t.b.o.t. concludes that the cranepoolforum is unfairly biased against non-human participation. this will not, however, prevent m.e.t.b.o.t. from attempting to participate in this project, or other forum happenings.

I just found a head shot of Valentin in Google Images and then resized it by 600%.

If m.e.t.b.o.t. is unhappy, imagine how the Squid feels.

Getty Images is a good place to find the big versions of the spring training portrait shots. The watermark usually doesn't obscure the face.

[m.e.t.b.o.t.]

who should m.e.t.b.o.t. simpsonize?

[metsmarathon]

is there some sort of preferred attire? i just sent in a john maine, but i'm not thrilled with him...

[Benjamin Grimm]

There's a Simpsonized Mets uniform somewhere. (From the episode where Apu tried to Americanize himself.)

Maybe that can be photoshopped under the Mets heads. (Might have to remove the piping, though. I think it was a 1986-style uniform.)

Sounds like a job for Zvon.

="m.e.t.b.o.t."]who should m.e.t.b.o.t. simpsonize?

Someones gotta do Mr.Met..

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don't think it'll work, but other peripheral figures would, I imgaine.

[soupcan]

Check out Willie.

If you want I can do the same to the rest.

[m.e.t.b.o.t.]

m.e.t.b.o.t. has sent a mr. met to project coordinator edgydc. m.e.t.b.o.t. is not convinced that m.e.t.b.o.t.'s handywork is yet complete, nor does m.e.t.b.o.t. believe that the burger king simsponize me is optimized for mascot transformation. m.e.t.b.o.t. will endeavor to further modify simpsonized mr. met until simpsonized mr. met is deemed suitable. currently, simpsonized mr. met appears to be a pale bald guy, with stitches on his head, which is technically correct.

Sounds like Gary Cohen to me.

[metirish]

Will my Pete Flynn picture work?

Jay Horowitz should get done.

Is it true that Fred Wilpon looks like Mr.Burns when he's simpsonized?

[seawolf17]

Oliver Perez has been Simpsonized and sent.

[m.e.t.b.o.t.]

m.e.t.b.o.t. has a lot of work to do...

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'll try to post what I have tonight.

Soupus Cannus is kicking all your asses so far.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I think I got carried away with photoshop.

edited away

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Owned and b.o.t., great work, but let's reveal these all at once.

[m.e.t.b.o.t.]

the end product of m.e.t.b.o.t.'s labors will be kept secret.

[Willets Point]

Simpsonized Mr. Met is rather creepy. Almost as creepy as the Capital City Goofball:

[HahnSolo]

This is taking up a little too much work time for me. If Ruben Gotay can wait until tomorrow for me to figure out resizing images and such, I'll try again. If that's too late, someone else can have a go at it.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It took some searching, but I found a good shot of David Newhan without a hat on. Unfortunately, the picture is only 140 x 187 so I don't think it can be used.

I keep searching for a suitably sized shot of Newhan.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Again, their hattedness doesn't seem to matter much. You can also resize the photos with your desktop art thingies.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I tried five times, increasing the size of my photo, and it kept trying to
Simpsonize the same photo (at least from what it showed in the box).

After two times, I cleared cookies, etc.

While this was going on the freakin' Pirates scored way too much.

I'll try a different pic tomorrow ... maybe.
