Blazer Portraits

Hey fellow Blazers faithful. Much like most of you, I'm still riding a wave of anxious euphoria as our first playoff game in what seems like ages. One of the things I do is portrait painting (mostly glamor and fantasy style. You can take a look at my gallery, here if you're so inclined). To commemorate this incredible season (hopefully the beginning of a new tradition of post season glory) I want to paint a series of Blazer portraits.

Over at blazers.com they've put up some badass images of the starting lineup matchups (on the left side). These are the best shots I think I've seen of our guys, with excellent lighting that will play really well with my style. If anyone knows how to extract these from flash, or of another place I can download the same images, I'd be much obliged.

Thanks. :)

Now if only I knew anything about ripping images from Flash… I don’t think I can paint from thumbnails when they’re rotating every couple seconds. :D

Do you have Flash (the authoring suite I mean)?

It’s been a while, but with earlier versions you could import the SWF files and it would split the animation into single frames. As long as the file is not protected. In that case, there is more required. If you only need an image as an inspiration, make a screenshot.

If everything goes wrong, we can take comfort in the Rockets not having a single draft pick in 2009
