What is a Photoshop Phriday?
At this point everyone should know already, but here goes, once again.
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. The contest usually lasts for a fortnight. Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, or any other programs can be used. Please make sure your image doesn't exceed the width of the screen.

This week: Cross Mojo-nation
Take a character (or characters) from one game (any type), and put them in a game from another genre. Then show us a screenshot, boxart, or other promotional goodies.
Monkey Planet, the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, Space Pirate!
DOOMQUEST3: The Pirates of Pestulon
Etc..
Entries to be judged on the quality of the shoppage, the quality the idea, and the ability to make me laugh 'til diet Coke shoots out of my nose.
(Yes, believe it or not, this did take me 2 days to come up with. If I was good at ideas, I'd have finished a game by now.)
Enjoy! You have TWO WEEKS to comply.
EDIT: Deadline extended!

Only one game? Dammit, i should read instructions more clearly :-[
I spent a good hour working on this one... (MSpaint, just before I installed photoshop :P)

Not an entry for obvious reasons. :=
'cause I'm sure no one's ever thought of this gem:

I don't get it... is that like a Sam & Max "in" joke?
Of course not, it's Max-Ribbon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vib-Ribbon)!
King_Nipper:
Multi-game entries are fine, so your first one can stand. Leave the econd one up as well, though - it makes it look like there're more entries!
And, I would say "No more non-entry posts", but since I didn't get DanClarke's either, I'll let it slide.

*sigh* the blinkered mainstream gamers of today. ;)

lame, i know.
I know it's not right to just comment, but really someone has to say something.
Honestly King_Nipper has to win on this one. He's made 6 different pics. I don't know which one is the official entry but, heck with all the trouble he's been through making these, he deserves to win. Or maybe his brother? ;D
No, that's all me. I figured I finally have photoshop, so I'll learn to use it. Pikastein 3d was my brother's idea, but I made it.
God, it feels good to do my own work... :)
Mordalles, what is that? I know the original photo is from Warcraft 3, that picture of arthas on the box cover but what did you splice the game with?
New rule - well, suggestion/request anyway:
From now on (assuming there are more entries), add a spoiler containing the source games to your entry, even if they seem obvious.
EDIT: Blimey, King_Nipper, that was quick. Cheers.

Guybrush.
thx, stevemccrea. ;D
I was looking through my old hard drive & I found this, which was an entry of mine for a Photoshop Phriday a couple of years ago I believe:

Not an entry.
Not an entry. Originally made for a PP in March 2003:
(http://www.esseb.com/images/pp/the_curse_within.jpg)
Edit: If you really have no idea what the games are: Exhibit A (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/beast-within-a-gabriel-knight-mystery), exhibit B (http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/curse-of-monkey-island).
Last couple of hours for anyone who still wants to enter.
EDIT: OK it's 11PM my time, so I'll give you 'till midnight (one hour from 'last edit' timestamp) and announce the winner.
Well, it's a tough call but the winner is...
Vince Twelve!!!!
Although King_Nipper deserves credit for the sheer volume (6 out of the 10, not counting the 'not an entry' entries) and diversity of his entries. Actually, everyone who entered deserves credit, if only for making this go better than I'd hoped.
Congratulations, Vince. Now get out there and start your own, you crazy kid.
Whoah, I forgot that I even entered this. Seeing my name in the thread title was a nice surprise in the morning!
I'll start one as soon as inspiration strikes!
Thanks, Ashen!
