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.

  • Winners can enter Weeklies for which they have submitted the stock image, but they will not be eligible to win.

  • 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, August 11th.

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

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!!

Both versions are nicely done 👍

u/TWI2T3D Aug 07 '18

Cheers for reminding me voting is open.

And thanks for the compliment. Means a lot coming from this week's winner :)

Seriously, great job on yours!

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '18

Haha, cheers mate!

A lot of nice work in this week's battle! Tough call for sure!

u/RealFumigator Aug 08 '18

I love the 2nd one.

1

u/TWI2T3D Aug 08 '18

Thanks :)

3

u/-JenM- Aug 07 '18

Thats very creative idea! Slap a travel company logo on and it could be a legit advertising!

3

u/TWI2T3D Aug 07 '18

Thanks! But who'd want to visit if it's going to rain like that? ;)

I hate it when you win because we don't always get an entry from you when you supply the image. Looking forward to seeing your work again next week.

3

u/-JenM- Aug 07 '18

Haha, i'm getting stage fright now! Thank you as well :)

3

u/DaminDrexil Aug 11 '18

Really nice touch with the reflections in the first one; you really nailed that wet ground look! And fantastic work on the lighting in number 2; it's rare to see both light direction and temperature done so perfectly :)

3

u/TWI2T3D Aug 11 '18

Thanks a lot. I'm glad I managed to have a good idea and execute it properly for a change lol.

1

u/trololololololol9 Aug 08 '18

Nice, but could use some fine tuning, I think. Like some glow around the edges, and a little softening of the edges of the beam of light. Still a great piece of work, btw.

3

u/TWI2T3D Aug 08 '18

I did originally add a bit of glow but I thought it looked more like the sign was lit up rather than the sun shining through it.

Cheers.

Wrong Turn

u/RealFumigator Aug 08 '18

Holy crap that's great!

u/i_am_a_bot_ama Aug 09 '18

Great work as always Working. Looks like you had a lot of fun with this. Cool effect, it turned out awesome.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '18

Cheers mate, yeah was fun to work on. The stock image is kinda like a blank canvas that gives you a bit freedom to mess around, no solid subject image to be adhered to :)

3

u/DaminDrexil Aug 11 '18

Woah, good idea and great execution! I love the composition, especially; all the flying rubble really adds drama. Beautiful use of colour, too; that duo-tone red and off-grey palate makes the whole thing look so damn refined!

3

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '18

Thanks Damin, appreciated!

So many well made entries in this battle, it was never gonna be easy :)

2

u/-JenM- Aug 07 '18

Marvelous quality! You're a wizard!

Off-contest attempt:

Not so safe

Edit: thanks everyone for kind words!

u/TWI2T3D Aug 08 '18 edited Aug 08 '18

Glad you decided to take part, your work never disappoints.

EDIT: Just noticed you were spared. I'll try not to let that sour my opinion of you.

u/-JenM- Aug 08 '18

Poor soul...

u/TWI2T3D Aug 08 '18

Oh wow, that just put the biggest smile on my face. :D

u/DaminDrexil Aug 11 '18

God damn there's some fantastic work produced this week :O

I love what you've done with this. And great choice on the stock image, too!

2

u/RealFumigator Aug 08 '18

Lol that is great stuff...

2

u/edgeukated Aug 08 '18

Excellent! I've always got a soft spot for fallout but the ps work is outstanding!

2

u/Harry34186 Aug 08 '18

This is really thinking outside the box and perfectly executed too! Seriously great work!

2

u/i_am_a_bot_ama Aug 09 '18

Nice! Made it after all. :)

1

u/-JenM- Aug 10 '18

Was experimenting with some techniques and in the end it looked like worth sharing... well, it often goes like this :)

u/khrispants Aug 10 '18

This is really sick - well done!

u/khrispants Aug 06 '18

Lack of funding means less than exciting exhibits at the aquarium

3

u/trololololololol9 Aug 08 '18

Lol good work!

3

u/RealFumigator Aug 08 '18

Haha very clever.

u/DaminDrexil Aug 11 '18

Oh wow! Your entry is completely out-of-the-box; I love it!

Well constructed mate, this has my vote!

2

u/DaminDrexil Aug 11 '18

I love how you extended the left side of the scene - recreating the steps - just to get the perfect framing.

The best part, though, is the silk? (slime?); it all hangs so realistically. When something looks natural, like that, it's easy for viewers to take it for granted - but getting to that point must have taken a fair bit of time / skill. Really nice work, man.

u/-JenM- Aug 07 '18

Holy s**t, i got no words!

1

u/edgeukated Aug 08 '18

Great feel to the picture! Be carefeul with your body warps though, brings the legs out of proportion on jackman. Overall good job!

Nicely done bot!

u/i_am_a_bot_ama Aug 08 '18

Thanks brother, nice work yourself, that looks like it was fun. :)

3

u/DaminDrexil Aug 11 '18

I love it when people take the time to get the lighting right; it really makes takes the final product up a notice. Love the subtle graffiti, too; would've missed it if I didn't peep at your sources!

2

u/i_am_a_bot_ama Aug 12 '18

Thanks Damin! :)

2

u/-JenM- Aug 07 '18

This sequel's graphics look amazing! :)

2

u/i_am_a_bot_ama Aug 08 '18

Thanks Jen, now where is yours? :)

2

u/-JenM- Aug 08 '18 edited Aug 09 '18

After seeing all these great works this week, i realised the idea i was thinking to post was a bit meh... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: nvm, got another one...

2

u/AGmikkelsen Aug 08 '18

Awesome work.

My only note, is I'd like to see a bit of blur on the cube, to make it seem like it's moving fast.

4

u/i_am_a_bot_ama Aug 09 '18

Thanks! Good feedback. :) With all of the lighting, it was really hard to tweak things in the end, but that would have been a good add.

Here is a version I was working on, I added some progressive blurring for you. Not really finished though

1

u/AGmikkelsen Aug 09 '18

Cool effect on the edge of the portal

u/jeremyfisher2 Aug 07 '18 edited Aug 08 '18

A little flood

3

u/DaminDrexil Aug 11 '18

Dude, fantastic idea! Love how you added the splashes on the wall, too; details like that just make it :D

2

u/RealFumigator Aug 08 '18

Dang that's cool.

1

u/trololololololol9 Aug 08 '18

Perfect, but please add a vignette-kind of effect on the insides of the frame (except the bottom of course).

1

u/jeremyfisher2 Aug 08 '18

You're right, fixed it!

The Vines are a nice touch!

1

u/edgeukated Aug 08 '18

Thanks! I liked how it slightly aged the scene.

1

u/AGmikkelsen Aug 08 '18

I regret not doing something similar to mine. Maybe add some trash or such

2

u/edgeukated Aug 08 '18

I've become a bit rusty at photoshop since I primarily use illustrator so my brother turned me on to psbattles. Nice way to brush off the cobwebs.

2

u/AGmikkelsen Aug 08 '18

Indeed, and also just have fun with it, instead of making something serious

1

u/-JenM- Aug 07 '18 edited Aug 07 '18

It reminds me of Bioshock somehow, nice job btw :)

2

u/edgeukated Aug 08 '18

Thanks! It does have that feel, which for me is a great compliment.

Guess we'll be looking out for your first win sometime soon. Nice work.

Anyone have tips on how to crop out the white background on the hair?

5

u/ezryph Aug 10 '18

hair is always tricky to get natural looking. I usually try to salvage as much as I can and then cheat it a bit and paint in some hair with the brush tool using a brush preset.

3

u/Towami Aug 09 '18

Select color - then click on one of the white pixels - then delete the white area Helpfull?
