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, November 16th.

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

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!!

So awesome Cman! Love it. (Not sure if intended but coincides very well with a recent announcement at BlizzCon ;-)

Insanely well done! Also love the old used vinyl style you put in the cover.

u/Cmatthewman Nov 13 '19

Thank you. The 'old' texture was made simply by overlaying this old paper texture and this old LP texture I found online. Both were set to blend mode 'lighten' with a slightly lowered opacity :)

A break from battle

I had a lot of fun making this and learned a bunch of new things. At some moments I was erasing with a 1 pixel brush! I am Super proud of this :)

how did you achieve such wizardry?

3

u/DeanoMcfly Nov 14 '19

patch tool w/ content aware turned on mixed with just using the pen tool to mask out some spots, copy paste, a little spot heal, erase some edges..go over each spot a few times w/ at least one of those and done.
