[Contest] Photo Manip Challenge

[Sneakylemons]

Felt like it might be time for another contest to spice things up a bit.

The rules are simple, download the predesignated stock image, and work with it. The only restrictions I have as of now are that it must be a fresh piece, and it can not be a signature (the entry, at least), try and keep it as a Large Art.

Reflection (if he accepts) and I will judge the submissions based on the ideas and the execution.

Prize will be whatever rep I can muster, as well as whatever Reflection/whoever wants to give.

Try and have as much fun with this one as you can, and don't be afraid to try it out even if you feel your abilities are not up to par with other members. Remember, the idea is the most important.

The contest will run for about 2 weeks (May be extended if necessary, or may also be cut short as well)

Although I will be participating, I am not going to count my entry towards the vote.

Good luck everyone, have fun with it

Edit: The rules have been changed, everyone is going to be using a predesignated stock as of now to level out the playing field. Sorry if you had already started to work on something, just save it as a side project.

(The very first dancer in the display picture.)

I'm in the process of rendering it at the moment, when I'm done I'll post it in case anyone wants.
Here you go:

Does Photo Manip mean that I can add weird, random, kinda-cool-but-actually-just-stupid-looking light effects around a cut out picture of a jumping dancer?

[Sneakylemons]

Photo manip means a freestyle of your choice as long as the original piece is somewhere in the final piece (must be visible =P)

Go nuts.

*closes ps*

haha.

i will try to do this next weekend prolly

[Remus]

Bloop... I may do something.

[Reflection]

Sure I'll judge. Hit me up on msn once you're close to the end date.

[Sneakylemons]

Alright nice, if you want to add anything to the prizes feel free. Gunna start working on mine now.

I think it would make more sense to give us a stock to manipulate, so everyone is on a level playing field.

[Sneakylemons]

Your ability to find a stock and idea is your own, not going to choose it for you. Everyone is already on a level playing field, everyone has the same access to the stocks as anyone else does

That's not entirely true. One with funds may be able to purchase higher quality stock photos from royalty free websites while another person is stuck with free images. Though, that shouldn't matter that much but I agree with m0rbidang3l, a set image (or at least something at all to work with) to use is in general better since it will be hard to judge otherwise.

[Sneakylemons]

Alright, but honestly I don't feel like looking for a stock lol, so if you want to choose a designated stock Reflection, go ahead.

how about the one in the green sweater?

[Sneakylemons]

Damn, I've never seen THAT one before! =P
Fine by me I guess, have at it then. Guess I'll just save the one I was already working on for a side project

FALCON KICK!

That is all I could come up with...I'm not that great but I happen to like it.

[Sneakylemons]

I have a feeling that is the path most people are going to take idea wise tbh. It's not bad, just needs to look more real.
