What is the Photoshop 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 week on Photoshop Pheromone:
In light of the new Looney Toons (see thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=19676.0) I started thinking. There are so many beloved characters that still haven't been ruined. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to destroy some more fond childhood memories. Thusly, your task is:
Create a new modernized version of a beloved character
(Notice I didn't specify you have to do this with adventure game characters. I don't want to be that restrictive, so go ahead and do anything you want.)
For example: Meet the new Indiana Jones.

I wanted Count Chocula, but damn it's hard to find a good picture of Count Chocula checking his mail...
Well, I wont have time to do the actual photoshopping, so do this in your head:
Find picture of Vin Diesel
Find picture of a deerstalker hat
Find picture of a pipe
Put deerstalker and pipe on Vin
Find photo of that female forensic pathologist from CSI (or Amanda Redman, if you prefer Silent Witness)
Find photo of Patrick Stewart looking sinister
Make Patrick Stewart fade so he's only just visible over a black background
Put Vin in foreground
Put forensic lady just behind Vin in foreground
Superimpose text: heading "Sherlock Holmes: Beverly Hills 90221b"
footer:
"Sherlock Holmes: Beverly Hills 90221b, a Jerry Bruckhiemer film, Vin Disesel, Amanda Redman as Doctor Watson, Patrick Stewart as Professor M, Chris O'Donnell as Inspector Lestrade. Directed by Uwe Boll"
And you have a recipe for a successful movie poster....
And an entry for the previous Photoshop Contest.
no, 'cause that was GOOD game adaptations, and I said Director Uwe Boll....
:P
Here's a sneak preview of the next Doctor Who...

I think that was kinda his point :P A mangaised version of Leela. Fits the profile.
Quoteisnt that just Leela from futurama in a manga style?
Wow, you're very observant. It's almost like I made the image for some kind of photoshopping competition. ;D
Originally it was a Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess but I purple-ised the hair, joined the eyes, and added Leela clothes to make OMG KAWAII LEELA!1
Only thing I left out was the gizmo on her arm.
It's not my best work though IMO, but not bad for a 2 hour job at 1am in the morning.
And if you really want to see me destory your fond memories, wait until I add a manga-style Horrible Gelatinous Blob to the mix.
Come on, guys, this is an AGS forum! Let's have some AGS-themed photoshops...

... like this one. This is what would happen if Grundislav had a marketing department.

Ben Jordan did not get paid well enough for what he solved in Ben Jordan: Case 2, so he became a very bitter man. He took a knife and cut his face, and dyed his hair black, and when he was called to go to Scotland for case 3, he travelled by sea. During the months he spent on the ship, he joined forces with a band of pirates who taught him how to use his killer instinct.
Hahaha!!!
Netmonkey, that is seriously the greatest thing I've ever seen on these forums. And I've been around for two and a half years now, haha!
Damn you Ubisoft!
Another series ruined!
Ah netmonkey, that gave me a right laugh! Thanks!
Noooooooooo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Ruined! Everything ruined! You bastards.
Ok then, the winner. It is a tie between DG's and Netmonkey's entries. I'll let this coin decide.
... the winner is... DGMacphee!
Obviously this coin likes boobies!
(I'll have that metal soundtrack ready in a week, Grundislav!)
