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.

  • 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, January 30th.

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

 

Best of luck, everyone, and have fun!!

Great style! I'd be interested in how you did this :)

Cheers mate, it's a pretty sloppy technique (completely made up along the way), there are probably other ways to achieve the effect, and I don't know how well it would translate to PS, but basically;

u/staffell Jan 28 '21

Thanks! I'm a huge fan of brute forcing technique along the way in PS.

I think this has inspired me to try some more 'artsy' style submissions in the weeklies, moving forward. I'm too stuck in my ways.

Wholesome, I love it!

u/neigesdantan Jan 27 '21

this is great on many levels. I'm particularly fond of edited pictures that don't look edited. this could easily trick anyone if presented out of context.

pictures that don't look edited

Other than the violin player which is a dead giveaway ;)

I wondered if anyone would attempt something like this! I was going to do a full face swap between the two (with matching colourisation on both), but then quickly realised it was way out of my skill range. This is super cool.

1

u/neigesdantan Jan 27 '21

Thanks! in hindsight a face swap would have made this funnier... even just giving the sculptor the same teeth as the sculpture. I assure this is well inside your skill range! it's just colorization plus liquify/morphing, try it sometime! šŸ˜‰

Uh, I'm like, blown away, or somehing heh heh heh

u/staffell Jan 26 '21

This is hilarious, what made you think of it?

2

u/xprmntng Jan 26 '21

The teeth reminded me of Butt-Head. I was thinking about how to mix the sculpture with him and thought that an explosion might do it. It's a combination of this and this
