 What is a Photoshop ...Whensday?

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's topic: Historical Anachronisms

Take something and show it in a time where it doesn't belong.Ã,  It can be subtle or... not so subtle.Ã,  Hopefully it's funnier than this crap example that I whipped up:



One week... go!

For the character in my game, I decided to have a go at 3d.Ã,  Be gentle, beyond the tutorials, this is the first 3d anything I've produced.Ã,  I'd appreciate any comments or critiques.

The animation is slowed down a bit so you can see the movement better.


I like the black lines around the edges, it meshes well with the hand-drawn cartoony backgrounds that I'm producing, but I don't like the lines on the joints.Ã,  Those odd edge lines are caused by the cartoon renderer I used.Ã,  I can't seem to find a way to get rid of only those unwanted lines.Ã,  However, it renders the outlines to a separate layer, so I can go through and frame by frame erase the bits that I don't like once I'm happy with the animation.
