It's only a matter of time., created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 11 out of 20 (final score: 51.6 %)
for contest: hanging stones

I used a technique found from the video "You Suck at Photoshop" (#5)
to get rid of the stones. I liked the humor of it :D

First I found an image of space and used a reddish gradient to change the
color of the planet and have the planet reflect on the shuttle. Then I used
layer masking and blending to import the stones to the scene. I erased the
strings and added a slight gradient to signify the heat of entry. After this I
used the patch tool to get ride of some of the more unnatural looking
"craters" for an edit. Thanks for the suggestion. This is what mars
would be like if we were having an asteroid storm after colonization. This is
what it would look like if a picture was taken from a satellite :D

Rolling Time, created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 28 out of 40 (final score: 50.7 %)
for contest: one past nine

First I changed the background of the clock to black. Then I changed it to
white. This ensured a small fuzzy dark outline. I used a filter (forgot which
one) to change the texture to a nice cartoon-like look. I then found a picture
of a car and applied the same filter. I pasted and warped and distorted the
clocks so they would like like the rims.

body to the dummy we had.

http://www.dphotojournal.com/photoshop-tutorial-creating-a-zombie/

Used that tutorial and got this effect; not what I'm aiming for but it was fun
making it.

Sunset, created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 27 out of 49 (final score: 50.1 %)
for contest: wine glasses

The butterfly was made entirely with the source. View the SBS. I know it looks
like the left wing is mixing with the trees but that's the texture of the wing.

The Golden Son, created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 16 out of 43 (final score: 49.9 %)
for contest: chick

*My first contest*

It's not a lack of skill, but a lack of imagination

I used the magnetic lasso tool to carefully select the chick from its natural
environment. Using the eraser tool I erased the edges to give the chick a more
naturally fuzzy look. Then I found a picture of some ducks and inserted the
chick in those pictures.

Make Every Moment Classic, created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 121 out of 131 (final score: 46.8 %)
for contest: face retouching

I'm pretty sure I lost my manhood while I was doing this (makeup, eyeliner...),
but the worst part was I had fun doing it ;)

SBS up. Basically I used a combination of a bunch of tutorials at the top of
PST's page. They work really well

Mufasa's Etching, created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 66 out of 75 (final score: 45.8 %)
for contest: dislocated animals 2

I knew I had to have an animal in a cliff. Used the lasso to remove the lion's
face, copied it to the source. Turned the opacity of the new layer way down.
Used two filters on both pictures to give it that look which is supposed to
represent the line between cartoons/animations and reality.

Ring of Fire, created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 27 out of 30 (final score: 42.1 %)
for contest: diamond ring

Only source used. Really simple and easy stuff (liquify and neon glow) for a
look I wasn't going for.

It would probably look better in full resolution.

Pengiun Sledding Gone Bad, created by airs0ft3r

final rank: 75 out of 75 (final score: 36.9 %)
for contest: dislocated animals 2

Edit 2: The Penguin is in the fireball... I guess you can't see that clearly
enough. I'm leaving this post up here just because I like it, but I'm hoping to
find some time to edit it again and have penguins in the water. AP week however
is a first priority

Simple enough. When in doubt, refer to an apocalypse.

Edit: Appreciate the suggestions. I really couldn't make the penguin more
obvious because it would make the image look less realistic so I did the exact
opposite and made it less obvious. Now its cartoony :)
