Please give me some criticism. I do not use the pen tool and I'm too lazy to learn it. I did this with the polygonal lasso tool and using the elliptical tool on the helmet. I cut it with a dark and light background, some tips I got from here, and I must say this is probably my best cut ever. I also cut it in parts which kept me interested.

I already see my first mistake, fixing now

Nice cut man, most looks good. When the render is in front of a white background there seems to be a thin line of background on the shoulder pads. I'm not sure how the helmet is suppose to look, but maybe you cut a little too deep on the backside of the helmet? Arms, legs, top of helmet, and facemask all look great.

Actually I noticed that too on the helmet and that is how it is supposed to be. The DNA helmets are awkward at that angle. And the BG on the shoulder is just some of the jersey in the shadow, but I'll cut it later, this took me at least an hour and a half, I'm burnt.

lol, alright, you'll get faster with practice.

I doubt it with my method, maybe, who knows.

I use lasso tool, not pen. I, too am too lazy to learn.

thin line of bg on back of helmet where piece sticks out. also might be some bg between helmet and chinstrap (very small). only other thing I see is the transition from leg to towel

besides that -- really, really good. those things above actually took me a while to find

Nice cut. For future reference go to Image>Trim, to get rid of that extra blank space. It saves on file size for faster loading.

Thanks Cy, I always wondered how people got it perfect haha

 

[jarrod2323]

yeah, it also sometimes let's you know if you missed some bg along the edge

 

[BigDmo]

Alright, my hopefully final fix is now up

 

[jarrod2323]

much better.. keep at it.. you did well quickly
