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, January 30th.

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

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!!

Very cool idea! Love the water ripple reflections on the walls, it really pulls together the whole aquarium vibe. Great job!

I just realized you are the same person who made the awesome entry last week. I’ll remember your name now. I love your work. The details (like the watch), are great. I didn’t notice you made Homer and Lenny from scratch - I assumed those were found images, until you made the comment about Bruce Willis. Very impressive. I hope you get the win I thought you deserved last week.

Hey, much appreciated. Originally I pasted in cartoon heads but they didn't blend very well with the rest of the photo, so I started to 'humanise' them. What I really enjoy about the weekly battles is the extra time to add little details, on the daily ones I'm usually rushing to get an idea out before someone else thinks of it.

Damn, the watch is a beautiful detail. Thank you for pointing it out.

u/rasta-eyes Jan 27 '16

Thanks, that means a lot.

u/SillySurgeon Jan 27 '16

My personal favorite. Nice job!

u/rasta-eyes Jan 27 '16

Cheers. I didn't realise just how versatile Bruce Willis could be, until I pulled his skin into the shape of Homer.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '16

Haha! I've used Bruce's bald dome for 'shops on a few occasions myself. Well done with this mate!

u/rasta-eyes Jan 28 '16

Thanks man, with his range I'm sure I'll use him again at some point too. Good job on yours as well, great interpretation of the stock image.

For a while when I was zoomed in making Lenny, I got that weird 'looked at something bright for too long, now I can see it even when I close my eyes, I hope it's not imprinted onto my retina' feeling, from the plutonium / uranium rod. It's gone now though, glad you like the image.

I love it, but think it actually might have been better without Dr. Evil there.

2

u/MrFlopkins Jan 27 '16

I think it's because he's not looking at Mini Me. It could be better if he had shifting eyes, or the head was turned more... Still earned a laugh and vote from me though :)

Damn dude, this is badass! Super stylish, I could totally see this as the cover for a metal album. Really well done!

u/graphleek Jan 26 '16

Thanks! I stumbled upon that great source image, which helped inspire me. Much fun.

You and I had the same idea it seems. I like you're tube better though.

u/Shappie Jan 27 '16

Tony Stark: Dr. Banner, I think I shouldn't let you play with all of the green stuff. Now I really can't tell whether you're-

Hulk: ARRGGHHH!!

Tony Stark: Never mind.

Before the war John dreamed of attending MIT. After the war, who was going to say otherwise?
