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, May 21st.

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

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!!

I don't get it either. Why is the hand disappearing to smoke?

3

u/Shvepsas May 21 '16

No particular reason for that; at first I was going for a smoldering cigarette smoke connecting to the photo, but in the end decided to do it with hand instead.

u/jbduryea May 22 '16

Oh. I thought it was a reference I missed. Nice picture though.

Guys I found a grammatical error by aazav .He made a thread saying " bigfoots" this is incorrect it's still Bigfoot just like the plural form of Sasquatch is Sasquatch .

2

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '16

Guys I've found a second grammatical error by aazav . He called a sapling a baby tree, he should learn these things . Incorrect grammar infuriates me .

3

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '16

A typo? No. Now you're making excuses. Pressing one key versus pressing three is not a typo. You spelled it that way on purpose because it was two keys less for you to press. Just 'fess up, own your mistake and try to do better next time. I see you another grammar police lol

u/jasothegr8 Jun 07 '16

Dude you re golden....... F*** the grammar police

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '16

view this guys Aazav post history , all he does is correct grammar on Reddit but now im stalking him and making him look like a fool Lol.

u/ArmanDoesStuff Jun 19 '16

A man after my own heart. Too bad he deleted his account.

u/i_am_a_bot_ama May 21 '16

I love the way you do this effect. I'm thinking we will need a video tutorial.

3

u/[deleted] May 23 '16

Cheers bot!

There's nothing to it really, once the clone stamping is done it's just a case of layering the PNGs over the outline. I would make a tutorial but I can barely string 2 frames together :P

u/puos_otatop Jun 16 '16

im still lost lol, idk if its just because im stupid. but yeah a video just demonstrating these steps would be cool

u/Cmatthewman May 18 '16

As a fan of cyberpunk and /r/outrun, I'm really impressed with your entry. Mind sharing the grid technique you did on people?

u/fatdonuthole May 17 '16

For the most part I just took a model of a human from online, then roughly posed it and put a wireframe modifier on it in blender—here's a pic. Then I repositioned the arms and stuff in photoshop to make it exactly match up the guy in the real photo.

While most of the wireframe was taken from the 3d model, I did have to manually create the face using only Photoshop. For that I just used the pen tool in photoshop and drew out the lines of where I thought the topology for the face would be. I tried to draw quads and not tris since videogames render models that have quads better (I think?). I had my pen tool set to create a shape layer for each line I drew and I set the subsequent shape layer to have no fill and a 1px thick white outline.

u/Shvepsas May 17 '16

Thanks for the info! I'm not that advanced in 3d modeling, but this stuff looks interesting.

u/DaminDrexil May 17 '16

Dude, that's amazing! I love it when you do something unique, and then knock it out of the park :D

Also, it's nice to see you back in the Weeklies :)

Fantastic work there mate, congrats on last week's win also :)

u/[deleted] May 17 '16

thanks! your 'eggar suit cicada' was completely underrated, could have easily won IMO

u/Cmatthewman May 18 '16

Very nice :)

u/davideverlong May 18 '16

They gotta use what they gotta use... lol This one is top 3 for sure.

u/MrFlopkins May 19 '16

Number 1 in my opinion, right above the retro VR. I'm always surprised when my pick gets half as many votes as the top entry. People must really like smoke effects...

u/i_am_a_bot_ama May 21 '16

Really cool. Some great entries this week.
