How do I create pictures of pro wrestlers wearing championship belts?

Factual Questions
1

I’ve seen pictures online of professional wrestlers wearing belts that they’ve never won (like Chris Benoit holding the ECW Championship).

I’ve just started a WCW 1997 scenario in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020. I decided to use pictures of wrestlers holding their particular championships while they’re champion. I’ve just started, and the only title change I’ve had gave Chris Benoit the Television Championship, which he had in real life.

But I’m about to give Chris Jericho the WCW U.S. Championship, which he never held before. Is there an easy way to create pictures of wrestlers holding titles they’ve never held before? Is there a site where I can select wrestler pictures and championship belts, and it’ll do it for me? Or does it require a little PhotoShop on my part? I don’t have PhotoShop.

As big as the internet is, I would be suprised to find a site specializing in this.

You won’t need a little Photoshop–you will need a lot of Photoshop. You will need to find photographs of wrestlers with their hands in the right positions (do you mean literally holding the belts?) and photographs of the belts you want in the images with the belts at the correct angles to fit the image. (If you want it to look remotely realistic, you have to consider lighting conditions, too.) Then you have to cut out the belt (and only the belt) from the belt photo and paste it into the wrestler photo. It might be possible to find compatable photos if you look hard enough.

(If you are going under the impression that this sort of thing is easy and automated from things you have seen on TV and in movies, prepare for crushing disappointment.)

Did I dream that this thread was done a few days ago?

Checking the OP’s history, I see there is a version of the question (with no answers) in The Game Room.

Hire a real artist to do this, if you want it done right. That’s what they’re for, and they need the money. It’s amazing how many people think that art is something that anyone can do, all you need is the right software.

It is the “zoom and enhance” nature of computer portrayal on TV and movies that does it. Things like that are accomplished with magical fictional software with two clicks and a drag. (Okay, some frantic pounding on the keyboard like they are playing Flight of the Bumblebee on it might be involved.)
