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, October 1st.

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

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!!

This shoop is absolutely fantastic. Even a blurb that fits the theme & the shadow on the guy is pretty damn accurate. The idea is so left field, but works so perfectly! Great job!

Great idea, like the DOF, but a few more extra touches could've stepped this shop up a whole level.

I can't get over how brilliant the execution is on this. The string work alone, plus work it took to edit out the original balloon? Well done!

Love this just for subject matter alone, but you've also done a great job! His positioning seems very natural in this setting where most everything about Aeon Flux is wholly unnatural.

u/BoomerKeith Sep 28 '16

This is a good entry. I miss Aeon Flux.

Total Recall - Deleted Scene this is my first photoshop battle entry so any advice would be great to help me improve. Thanks guys. You can find the source I used here

u/Bittlegeuss Sep 27 '16

I like how you grained your subject to fit the scene, remember that same principle applies to light levels and colors (in this case a bit less exposure and less white luminescence) All in all, me likey!

u/AnGeL932 Oct 01 '16

Thanks for the tips, i'll remember them and hopefully improve on my next psbattles. :)

what software are you using? you need some work on your cutouts... If using photoshop, refine edge helps out but im not sure if its in every release, i just know its in CS6 and CC. If that doesnt help try using different tools. Magnetic Lasso is good, or if you want to be more precise, try the Pen tool or Polygonal Lasso (Pen is more precise than polygonal in my experience.)

If in gimp, zoom in a bit more and make sure you are being clean with your cuts. Try to lay down the path in the area where it starts to fade out, like this.
