Sorry about the delay!
What is the Photoshoppin' Contest?
See this link:
http://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop/
And for other examples, see here:
http://www.worth1000.com/
The two above websites should give a fair idea of what is involved. Also you can check out the earlier Photoshop contests in this forum.
Note: Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images.
Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, Gimp or any other ~equally good programs can be used.
This fortnight's topic!!
Video Game Board Games!
Inspired partly by the plethora of Board Game photoshops on SomethingAwful.com, I've decided that the topic of this Photoshop shall be board games! The goal is to convert the video game of your choice into a semi-plausible board game.
Example: The Game of Death You and your friends play through the game board as different coloured Manny Caleveras on a four year journey! Be the first to reach the end of the afterlife to win!
NOTE: The games in this photoshop don't specifically have to be adventure games, but considering this is an adventure game board... But don't think you can't submit "Monopoly: City 17 edition" or something.
Risk <---> Discworld

Imagine sitting down and playing this with your friends, one person being Tsort or Ephebe or maybe even Djelibebi?

The link doesn't work :(
Crazy! It works for me! Checked right now... I'll flush my internet cache and try again... BRB...
Edit: Nope! It works for me! Try googling for it, that's how I found it!
I see it
I'm thinking they don't allow linking. Try to copy and paste the URL.
Or try the link below. The image is the tenth one down in the right column.

Yarr, Me Mateys! Relive your favorite piratey battles from Curse of Monkey Island in this table top version for you to use your sharp wit to cut down your friends with all new rhyming retorts, so you can challenge others to finally become Captain of the Seven Seas!

;D
Esseb, I don't like posting small useless messages that include one or two words for example, but in this case I'll make an exception:
***ROFL!!!!***
Yeah, I felt the same way, I laughed way too hard. I was going to concede to Esseb's post.
Er... this is lame, but I don't get the joke. And judging from the reactions, I think I'd like to get it. Could someone explain? I know it's not as funny after explained, but I really just don't get it...
The game is very dark, you figure it out

Okay, after much debate (You guys make these too good, it's hard to pick a winner!), I have decided that...
ESSEB is teh winnar!!!11
What got me was the flashlight card. Truly a stroke of genius. Thanks everyone for entering (You were all lovely), and I can't wait to see the next topic!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Gah, totally forgot about mine. Never finished, but meh.

Hehe, superb, that actually made me laugh out loud. A lol, if you will. Evil, you can have my kids now, if you wish. I mean, it's not like I was doing much with 'em in the first place......
Thanks :D
Cheers Berserker.
I shall think of a new theme promptly.
