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!!
Good Game Adaptions
Imagine, for a change, a good movie based on game.
Something very much like this:
(http://www.esseb.com/images/pp/commander_keen_the_movie.jpg)
(Although hopefully not as horribly rushed a Photoshop as this example.)
NOTE: As you can see in the example, the game doesn't have to be an adventure game, but some would make for great movies.
After the success of the games a movie was the obvious next move.

Ok, this one didn't come out so good, but I'd love to see THIS movie:

Oops wait... Whoopi Goldberg? Guess this wouldn't really be a good movie, but a movie nontheless.

I was originally going to do a movie poster for The Adventures of Bayou Billy, but couldn't find a picture where Paul Hogan looked menacing enough, so you get this instead. I think Pleurghburg would make a really cool movie.

I'm not too happy with the way Lollote ended up, but other than that I'm quite pleased with how this turned out.
edit: Just for kicks, here's the pictures I originally used.

Legge - a perfect example of one of our beloved AGSers who left in his prime.
Oh, I mourn him so.
These are all movies I would LOVE to see!

Actually, I'm not sure this would be a very good film...

Why not Codename 47?
Looking at Ghormak's poster, I mistakenly read "Gary Oldman" as "Gary Coleman" and was confused by the choice. ::)
And dare I say it... Best Photoshop Phriday EVAR!!!!11!11!
QuoteWhy not Codename 47?
Because that one's going to be made by Uwe Boll, and it's going to look something like this:

Simon The Sorcerer would make a great movie. If it was done the right way.
Orlando Bloom? God, no! Make Johhny Depp Simon instead! :D
Nah, it should be Chris Barrie.
12 entries? That must be the record!

Johnny Depp simply makes any movie better, IMO.
Edit:
In light of the current casting climate, my movie has recieved the following overhaul

Ok, here's a poor attempt:

My first entry at this competition ever. ;D

I said Simon the Sorcerer, not Monkey Island! I demand this affront is rectified!
Robert Zemeckis... john Williams... Stan Winston...
I want this Monkey island movie NOW! Hahaha. Stan Winston would make the BEST LeChuck makeup EVER.

Umm, actually...
Heh, good enough.
And the winner is...
Ghormak, for his wonderful Hitman poster which made me forget all about Uwe Boll. Even if just for short while.
Khaveen was a close winner, but I'm afraid the contest rules included the phrase "good movie" .
But I think I'll keep Dave Gilbert's entry in my hard drive. :)
I'll keep Vince Twelve's on mine!
I'm keeping mine on mine because I can't be arsed to delete it!
Now then. Victory. New activity will be up when I think of something clever.
...
It may take a while.
