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 Tuesday, 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 Wednesday.
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 Saturday, November 8th.
Next week's battle will be posted early Sunday morning.
Best of luck, everyone, and don't forget to have fun!

The people were growing tired of magic, so they had to change up their act.
Edit: Thanks for the gold.

So much detail.
Well, if you're going to conjure Dalí, you'd better go all the way. ;)

Great attention to detail with the shadows!
Thanks! It's pretty neat how much nonsensical visual information the mind will accept if the shadows are right.
lumm0x: This painting has a mustache growing out of it.
brain: Shut up. That's stupid.
lumm0x: ... but it has shadows.
brain: ... whoa ...

So much class, so much fab.
What software did you use for the simulations? They look amazing.

I cut out all the elements and did the cloning in Photoshop, here is a gif of the separate layers I used. Then bring the layers into After effects for animation. The smoke explosion I found here
