haha funny chop. congrats.

Zizounai, I want to hear a french person say "ronron"

Wow!! 3rd too!!

Nice work and good job on 2nd.

Congrats George55. One of these days I will tell you a story on how you changed my life. Not kidding.

Hey, we both had Siamese Fighting Fish (Beta Fish - same thing) as external source images. What are the odds? Mine was accidental as it was part of the fish tank source I used. Congrats BTW.

Congrats on 2nd my friend.

I so gotta teach myself PS's 3D stuff.

Hahah. I like you. You are funny. party:

Oh you sound like a wild one haha.

Lazy SOB's can be the most efficient Photoshoppers. They will find the fastest way to do their best work so they can get back to the important stuff.. being lazy.

Sometimes when someone critiques my Chops they will say "You should do 'X'" and I reply "I have already tried 'X' and it looked worse." I think that is what is happening here.

I totally understand. Do what you think, is best. Glad you explained it to me. If you think it looks better with the two wrinkles then just leave it alone. I can only give you my impression, and in this case I am probably wrong.

This is cute. See the shadows from the chickens? There should be the same shadow from the left side fence. Also try to blend the chickens' feet with the ground just a bit more particularly the closest one.

This is cool but one thing bothers me. On the man, above both is eyes, are two semi-circular wrinkles. I know they are part of the source image but in my opinion they disrupt the "smoothness" of the blending between the egg and the man's head. Maybe just clone the out?

Congrats my seestah.

Congrats lchappell. good 3D work.

good chop. Good win. This was my fave.

^ I meant 1st Chop

Congrats on 3rd place on your 2nd chop. A great accomplishment.

Congrats Z. We made some art when everyone else didn't. We should be proud and get bonus points for meeting the challenge head on.

cute

I know this is old but I still would like to comment that I like it a lot. great idea.

Got some videos for ya for difficult selections like the hair. I watched the first one long ago and still use those techniques.

"Advanced Tutorial: How to Select Difficult Hair in Photoshop CC"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33tz2Xszil0

I watched this one but don't remember much about it but I do remember it was helpful.

"How to Cut Out ANYTHING in Photoshop (10 Tips and Tricks for Making Difficult Selections and Masks)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6off4PVn8E

Wow she really must think a lot of you George to thank you 5 times.

Go to your entries. You should be able to change it there up till the deadline. If this link doesn't work go to "Profile" tab at the top then click on "My Entries".

I meant "Labelled for reuse with modifications"

Here is a sample search from Google. notice how "Labelled for reuse with modifications" allowed is highlighted in blue under the search bar. It's a bit funky at first but then it doesn't bother you after a while.

https://www.google.com/search?q=galaxy&tbm=isch&source=lnt&tbs=sur:fmc&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjRy--anY7aAhVrk-AKHShRDhAQpwUIIA&biw=1536&bih=716&dpr=2.5

Also make sure your sources are non manipulated photos and not drawings or CGI.

You don't need to use any particular website but you do need to have source images that have had their copyright released. You can't just google an image and use it. The website you get it from must specifically say you can use it. The sites in the links we gave you are just some examples. You can also use Google but you have to make sure to do this:

1. Search for your image on Google images
2. Click on "tools" tab below the search box.
3. Go to the "Usage Rights" tab and make sure it is set to "Labelled for reuse with modifications"

Pretty easy huh? Now google isn't foolproof but most of the images you find this way will be fine as long as the page you get it from indicates that.

maybe try to blend the wings on the left girl a little better?

Wake up author! We're here to help.

(to the author) Oooh an overclocker!! I'm at 4.8 with a 7700K on air. Haven't tried 5GHZ. Just plopped it at 4.8, fired it up and it's been rock solid ever since. Only got 24GB and need more soooo bad but it's so damned expensive. I moaned when I had to spend $98 for 16GB, now it's like double that.

(hi George too)

I have a suggestion and it's just a minor detail. Since the source image you used only has two ants, maybe try to make them look more unique. You can convert each ant to a Smart Object and use Puppet Warp to move the legs around or tilt the head and rear end some. Also some brushing.. maybe put some shadows or highlights on different parts of the ants to make them look different. Even a little bit of color on their rear end may work. Also you may want to separate one of the "pairs" of ants so they don't look repetitive.

Good luck author. People here are pretty cool.. even the mods. If you need help then speak up, or you can personal message me and I will see what I can do. I think this link should work www.pxleyes.com/pm/BWR/

Oh you're hogging all the glory. 2nd and 3rd. How do you have the time?

Congrats on second Z. I didn't vote in this contest because I don't kno0w a lot about movies and their posters. I have seen Avatar (created by skyangel) and Kill Bill 1 & 2 but never heard of any of the others, so I thought it best not to vote.

Good work angel. Loved the SBS. Do you use timeline/frames to make them?

I think I see SkyAngel hiding under the bed from the snakes. This is the only snake in Hawaii. They look like worms. https://i1.wp.com/maalaea.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Brahminy-Blind-Snake.jpg

Congrats lolu. Just needed a surfer in the ocean. Aloha.

Good job eMatoma. Congrats on 2nd place. I was impressed by this Photoshop.

This is really good. Came across it while Google image searching.

Yea this was really good. I like how you made everything dirty. The cracks in the wood are excellent. The only thing I can't figure out is how you did the rip in the pillow. Can you tell me? Good extraction on the spider web. I had to download it just to see if I could do it.

.. and she needs to dance.

Nice job on the hair.

Maybe make the bat lighter since he is surrounded by red hell fire (I can tell he is a he for obvious reasons ). There should be reflected red/orange light. IMO the bat is lost in the darkness and doesn't stand out. Overall "Bat out of hell" is a great theme, imaginative chop, and it does look like a bat is coming out of hell.

That is like the best brain source. I gotta book mark that. Great idea for a chop.

Good work fruityfruit... I liked the way this came out.

Aww this was one of my faves...

Lovely chop.

Good job sandrine77
