The Rules

  • Submit your entry as a comment to this thread.

    You can post as many as you want.

  • To vote for an entry, just upvote the users comment.

    You can vote for as many different entries as you want, but please do not downvote. Downvotes will not be counted when deciding winners.

  • Every entrant gets a contributor flair.

    These will be handed out by a bot, but due to our comment hiding system, sometimes it misses people. If you entered but didn't get one, just send the mods a message, and we'll fix you up.

  • Please be sure to tag NSFW entries appropriately.

    If you see anything inappropriate that's not tagged, either report the comment or send a message to the moderators.

 

The Schedule

  • All entries will be hidden for the first 48 hours.

  • Voting will open on Thursday, after which all entries will be visible.

    Contest mode will be enabled for another 24 hours. This will sort comments randomly, obscure vote counts, and automatically minimize child comments.

  • Contest mode will be disabled on Thursday.

    From there on out, each comment's vote total will be visible, and entries can be sorted by karma (just like any other reddit thread).

  • The battle will end on Sunday, May 10th.

    Next week's battle will be posted the same day.

 

Best of luck, everyone, and don't forget to have fun!

u/ULTDbreadsticks May 10 '14

Not sure why this one hasn't gained more traction. Shading and coloring are great and the world/story you built (a futuristic sci-fi live-action Kingler hunt?) could be made into a hell of a movie. Great attention to detail, man. Love it.

5

u/ThrobinWigwams May 10 '14

Thanks, man! There's a lot of good entries this week, I'm surprised mine wasn't further down since I submitted it kinda late.

This looks rad.

u/[deleted] May 12 '14

I have to admit that I regretted submitting the pic a day or so afterward because it occurred to me that there would be a million Spongebob pics and I felt bad for making it so easy. But your entry was like a million times the spongebob pic I could have imagined. What I'm trying to say here is congrats on the win!

3

u/SoFuggnRad May 12 '14

Thank you! It was a fun shop. It was hard for me to choose this weeks photo, I think it will make people get creative though.

BONUS gif of a very, very quick *timelapse

u/PargS4rg May 08 '14

Nice work looks awesome.

u/RoyalPrinceSoldier May 08 '14

Thank you! I really worked hard on it so I appreciate your comment :)

3

u/[deleted] May 09 '14

How was the timelapse made?

8

u/RoyalPrinceSoldier May 09 '14

  • Hide all layers

  • use gifcam to record screen to gif

  • show layers frame by frame

That's it. Not really a time lapse because I didn't include all the process, just the finished layers.

u/Itchy_Rabbit May 10 '14

I think this should win. Looks like people appreciate Spongebob references more though.

Are ya ready, kids?

u/bluewit May 08 '14 edited May 08 '14

my earlier version included the squirrel in the foreground too (this isn't that, as it has her still in background, but i reproduced an old layer so, yea), but it felt like it was too busy so I shrunk her, blurred her, and tossed her in the doorway--i kinda like the look of yours contrasted against mine w/squirrel in foreground

--so much so, that I incorporated it into this GIF about an LSD-coated spatula at a beach... might be my new desktop...--though I'm sad we both forgot Gary...

While the edits are cool as single frames it's that GIF that really sells it; very nicely done!

You do know the name of that game is "craps", right?

But really, thank you for noticing, I was afraid this reference in the image would be too subtle. Also, not everyone knows about the game of craps or how a board would look like.

When their flesh turns pink they're cooked. Just peel off the outer shell and consume. Bon appetit.

u/beebs21 May 08 '14

Great job with the shadows on the carpet; why didn't you do the same on the floor? I'm pretty much a newb so this question is more so I can learn the limitations of PS, not a critique.

Nice. Your font makes it look like your name is 'Impooomlord' though. But why are you fighting it directly.. shouldn't you have a pokemon

I like to imagine he hasn't thrown the pokéball yet and my starter happens to be nicknamed impooomlord

This is easily as good as the Mr. Krabs one at the top. Great artists are always unnapreciated while they're still alive.
