Prizes

The winner of this week’s Operation will:

  • Receive one month of Reddit Gold! Woohoo!

  • Get a number added to their contributor flair.

    If you this is your first win, your standard flair will be replaced by this winners' flair. On your second win, you'll get this winners' flair, etc.

  • Get to keep the trophy for a week, after which it's handed on to the next winner.

    (more information on flair here)

 

The Rules

  • Submit your entry as a comment to this thread.

  • You can post as many as you want.

  • All entries must be an original image (or GIF when appropriate) created by the submitter. Images unaltered by the submitter or not created by the submitter will be burned at the steak.

  • Please be sure to tag NSFW entries appropriately.

  • 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.

    Upvotes should be based on quality of entry, creativity, and accurately reflecting the assignment. Of course, we cannot control how you choose to vote yet, as our mind control device is still early in its beta phase.

  • 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.

The Schedule

  • All entries will be hidden for the next 72 hours (+/-, until late Saturday, September 6th ) Around that time, voting will open and 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 Monday.

    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).

  • This mission will end on Wednesday, September 10th.

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

 

If you have any suggestions for future Special Operations, please send a message to the moderators. All suggestions will be given consideration.

Best of luck, everyone.

Thanks! This is easily the most time consuming photoshop I have ever made. But it was so great to see the result at the end!

Once she has chosen her prey, a female T-Rex is nigh on irresistible.

Edit: Added sources in a comment reply for those interested.

u/Suckassloser Sep 07 '14

Definitely someone's fetish...

Well done though! What was your source material if you don't mind my asking?

u/lumm0x Sep 07 '14

What was your source material if you don't mind my asking?

No problem. I found this rigged T-Rex model on BlendSwap. I lit and posed it to create this. I found the accessories online then layered everything in Photoshop and 'painted' it.

Oh, I didn't create the background. It's from an old pinup I found on Google Images.

I'd never worked in this style before; it took a lot longer than I expected.

Can you share your sources images? This is so well done!

u/ULTDbreadsticks Sep 07 '14

Thanks! Edited above.

u/dhpii Sep 07 '14

Holy cow, nice texture! Did you use it to remove the blur on the nose?

3

u/ULTDbreadsticks Sep 07 '14

Exactly! I used a wooden texture to help even it out, hard-erased the edges, then canvas texture to give it the painted look.
