are you from rotterdam?

u/feith Sep 09 '15
Nope, from Eindhoven actually. Rotterdam was a convenient location due to the bombing in the first few days of the German invasion.

u/feith Sep 09 '15
Thanks! The dust particles are from something like this and a "screen" blend mode.
Great work on your entry as well by the way, makes me want to play DayZ ;)

ah yea i thought it was a pic like that one. thank you! what does the "best 9" behind your name stand for? i know the 3k means 3k upvotes and the ps means you've enterd in a ps contest

The silver "Best X" comes from the yearly "Best of" series, where "x" is the amount of nominations. The same flair in gold would means that you won in an "X" amount of categories.
The 9 in my case doesn't really mean anything though, since you could nominate both your own and other people's entries. I nominated 4 or 5 of my own, which is a bit silly in retrospect.

I'm shit at most things, including PS, but This is what I'd do if I could, minus the girl. Maybe I just don't understand the reference. I have a lighted picture similar to this where the headlight glows a bit and the fire shimmers while snow is falling. Very similar in appearance to yours.

its supposed to be in a post zombie apocalyptic environment, where the girl is trying to find shelter, she is all alone, she only has a couple of cans of food left, a couple of bullets, and to make matters worse, it is cold (hence the air cloud coming from her mouth) so she lights a fire, but it attracks the zombies, as the are approaching in the distance and in the treeline left.

Honest advertising, or why Don fired the new art director.
Edit: Larger version of the ad here.

Pretty bloody cheeky ;)

u/DrWankalot Sep 13 '15
Haha thanks. I'd like to imagine that Don's drunk again while presenting the wrong board.

I wasn't happy with the tires, wheels and those poles so I fixed them up. Here's the original submission

whoa. I like how you just captured the texture of the truck and went in a completely unexpected direction with it. And that picture frame looks familiar....I've used it before!
2
u/graphleek Sep 11 '15
I've used it before!
Wow, I'm trying to imagine what the original looked like on that one. What was that? The guy climbing the side of a mountain? Then where did the dough come from? That's crazy bizarre - I love it.
2
u/FueledByCoffee Sep 11 '15
Here's a link to the original thread. Seriously though, I like the direction you took with your entry. Good stuff.

u/graphleek Sep 11 '15
That was before my time. It took me a minute to figure out the dough, but I got it eventually. Thanks for the compliment!
