Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!!

Entr(ies):

I wanted to have the hands pull closer to the camera as a way of representing putting on the spectacles, rather than just simply zooming into the canvas (as it does in this version), but I accidentally saved over the original PSD having deleted the asset :(

u/Maymayfish Dec 18 '20

Super clever use of the source dude

3

u/staffell Dec 19 '20

Thanks pal! I was pretty happy with the idea, although I don't love the lighting on the hands. This was the original, so it was really really hard to work with!

2

u/TWI2T3D Dec 17 '20

That looks fantastic. I'd have really liked to see how it looked with the hands moving instead, but it looks great as it is.

3

u/staffell Dec 17 '20

Thanks mate, I can't tell you how gutted I was when I realised what I'd done. I tried masking and cutting out the hands again, but the pixellation looked bad when it came close. I could have redone the hands and glasses, but I had dodge/burned them so specifically it just wouldn't have been the same.

2

u/TWI2T3D Dec 19 '20

Yeah, I can imagine how frustrating that must have been.

u/texasfld57 Dec 15 '20

HaHa. looks to be a couple 100 watts to me...nice edit!

u/Cmatthewman Dec 16 '20

My favorite this week. Awesome work :)

2

u/TWI2T3D Dec 17 '20

I almost missed the pull cords. Nice addition.

2

u/Maymayfish Dec 18 '20

This is awesome, love the idea, and executed beautifully

2

u/xprmntng Dec 18 '20

Thanks. Oddly, I thought my best this week was Coffee, Tea and Sugar. We all have different tastes.

2

u/Maymayfish Dec 18 '20

Your coffee tea and sugar was also great, but I just love the way you played with the glass bulb idea from the source and gave it such a unique twist 👍

u/TWI2T3D Dec 13 '20

A quick and dirty return

2

u/staffell Dec 15 '20

Great editing on the expression

2

u/texasfld57 Dec 15 '20

u/TWI2T3D this is a good one to flip back and forth from the original and the edit, you get mesmerized to the eyes.

2

u/TWI2T3D Dec 17 '20

I found myself doing that as well haha.

2

u/staffell Dec 17 '20

....now I have to do it

2

u/Cmatthewman Dec 16 '20

Nice job. The work on her face is great :)

Cheers, thewoman.

u/neigesdantan Dec 18 '20

2

u/Maymayfish Dec 18 '20

Ah, quick and dirty, just how I like it :P

Welcome back man!! Great to see you around again

2

u/TWI2T3D Dec 19 '20

Cheers, Maymay. Hopefully I'll stick around for a while again.

No worries dear, we have our protective helmets on!

u/texasfld57 Dec 20 '20

This is a clean manipulation all the way around!

1

u/CptSasquatch Dec 20 '20

Thanks buddy! It’s got a few issues here and there, namely the focal range on the buildings on the left side is about 4 meters too far back. It’s bothering me enough that I may actually open the PSD later and fix it ;)

u/TWI2T3D Dec 17 '20

Very nicely done.

Really enjoyed this, everything fits in perfectly

u/Photobash101 Dec 18 '20

This is honestly the best idea anyone could have had with these two. Perfect.

u/Jaune_Padawan Dec 20 '20

u/texasfld57 Dec 15 '20

Haha this looks funnery good!

2

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '20

really good work on the pillows and table cloth!!!!

2

u/TWI2T3D Dec 17 '20

That looks great. I would have liked to have seen a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias in the background, though.

2

u/neigesdantan Dec 18 '20

I indulged my dark side with this. the result is not grim as the intent but petunias would be too much! :)

u/Maymayfish Dec 18 '20

"Not again"

u/staffell Dec 18 '20

I loved the end result of this...when I saw your cutout, I was absolutely racking my brain trying to understand what you were going to do!

Terraforming Mars

Challenged myself to stop watching videos of people photoshopping and give it a go myself, had fun with this quick attempt, and am looking forward to creating more in the future.
