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 12th.

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

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!

u/CIANNAH Sep 09 '15

I tried shortly after the competition started, but deleted my post from embarrassment. I still don't know how r/workingat7 pulled it off. Must be really good.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '15

There's no need to feel embarrassed mate, my first ever battle entry was a shoddy cut and paste job. It's all about practice so keep on doing your thing and soon you will see your 'shops improving more each week.

Your work is amazing, how long have you been "shopping".

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '15

Cheers for the compliment :) I've probably been doing this for about a year now.

are you from rotterdam?

1

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/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

it is, it was completely ruined by the germans. im from Nijmegen, wich has also a big history with bommings and the river crossing. but your photoshop is great! is the spickles at the headlight beam a filter?

1

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 ;)

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

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

1

u/feith Sep 09 '15

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.

u/TheHongKongBong Sep 09 '15

Nice, Eindhoven represent! Great shoop.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '15

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.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

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.

Haha thanks. I'd like to imagine that Don's drunk again while presenting the wrong board.

u/realfootballer007 Sep 09 '15

Nice colour effects! They really match the theme.

u/FullNoodleFrontity Sep 08 '15 edited Sep 09 '15

Restoration really complete!

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

Your link says "image removed". Check again?

u/alexbring Sep 09 '15

Thanks for letting me know! It was up there earlier, i don't know what happened.

u/FueledByCoffee Sep 11 '15

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.

2

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!
