Its Ben..Bitch.:
I'm so jealous! These look so good, I'm serious, its like everyone has a college degree in Photoshop. I'm probably never going to enter this competition because I'm not super good. Mine would never even compare.
Good job everyone!
Awww, c'mon.
You'll do fine. (:



Anyhow, it would be cool to break five entries for the next competition. x)

Ackkk, I'm so behind this week.
FAIL.

Sorry. ><
So, so far, there is one clear winner and three tied for second, so I need more votes. *nod*

But prom is tonight, so I kind of will be away soon. ><

Well, still a tie.
four, the Master's, is the winner.
two, by tripping eyes, comes in second.
one and three, respectively by dusted memories and Desperate Laughter, tie for third.
I'll go make the banners now. ><

Next competition is to make something obviously using the liquify/warp/smudge tool or tools. It's liquify on PS, on GIMP it's warp, dunno what it is for other things. And smudge is valid too. But just make it clear that that was there.

first, awesome. thanks everyone who votedd (y)
i thought number two would have won because usually images with paramore in them get all the votes just because paramore are in the image.

Yeah, pretty much.
Truth is, I'm just not good enough at keeping it up. x__________x
I'd love to keep it going, but I just run out of ideas, and end up posting it late, and all. D:

Would you mind if someone else tried to run it for you? Cause I wouldn't mind. I'd be crap at the banners though, but I would really try as I procrastinate so much..

No, I wouldn't. This is going to sound nasty, but what I WOULD mind is if it turns into something pretty much the same as the other competitions, without encouraging people to try out stuff, since that's the point. But as long as you keep with the idea, I'm cool with you taking over and running it. =]

I think both the image creativity comp and this comp were started with similar concepts (only the image creativity changed later, but The Master tried to reinforce creativity lately) and both of them are kind of dead now.
I think we should only keep one of those, and keep that creative, and run that regularly.

Well, maybe I'll try to run it for a week and see if people actually enter?
There's no harm in trying if there's nothing to lose. Tehe

I do think it's substantially different to the image creativity comp to be run in parallel to it. I just hate seeing it die.

I think the concept of this competition is similar as to how the image creativity competition was supposed to be...
but of course, that competition is rather dead and boring now.
It'd be great to get some more creativity into this section of the message board.
I'm tired of seeing the same thing over and over again,
so I think it would be awesome to keep this thread up and going.
I just really don't want to see it become just like the other competitions.
So we should definitely try this out.

Okay so...


Experiment Competition #3
Liquify/Warp/Smudge


So...basically, take whatever picture you have and do whatever you want with it, just have liquify/warp/smudge as the main theme. And make it look as creative as you can. The point of this competition is to experiment, needless to say XD

It doesn't matter whether you're a photoshop veteran or n00b, just please have a go! Every one of you are makes a competition possible, so let's try and get this back up in da hood. Smile

Rules
-Do not share your entry with anyone else before the awards have been given.
-Only one entry per contest
-Keep the size sensible.
-Any effects can be used on your entries.
-PM your entry to me by Friday, 20th of June. Hope you guys don't mind not submitting using tinypic.com; imageshack or anything else would be good. (My school blocks tinypic, sorry Finger and I'm in a boarding school so it's pretty much permanantly blocked for me.)

I might change the due day to something else for later on, so that not all contests have the same deadline. But for this contest it's definitely next Friday, well as long as we have enough entries. xD

Okay. gooo!
If anyone has any suggestions on what improvements could be made, feel free to you know.. tell me. Shifty2
