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, September 5th.

    Next week's battle will be posted early Sunday morning.

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!

Minor flaw is the desert eagle. Never used in combat, and first produced in the 80's

Edit: I just wanted to add that this is an astonishingly good source photo. Great find /u/workingat7

I thought it would be a good image to use and I'm impressed by the quality entries produced. I knew it wouldn't be an easy one to simply copy/paste in, due to the contrast of the light so it's great seeing how people use the colour/lighting in different ways.

I'm impressed by the quality entries produced.

Me too! A lot quality work here. I've never upvoted this many in a weekly before!

u/staffell Sep 02 '15

The lighting on the original is almost delicious.

u/graphleek Sep 02 '15

I'd like to see the real original, this is obviously heavily 'shopped. Which is kind of weird, since it's taken by a really good photographer.

Awesome image source for sure. I've seen lots of street art submissions in these weekly battles, but the good ones stand out. Great job!

Steampunk Fisherman

Edit: changed the lighting and color filter.

u/KicknGuitar Sep 06 '15

I think you unintentionally masked the filter on part of the image. Check to the right of the lantern.

You're right, good eye!

This was my initial idea too! You did a far better job than I could have as well.

u/DrWankalot Sep 03 '15

The excellent source photo does help inspire these ideas! Really fun working on it.
