Announcing the First Annual DU Graphics Competition

[DS1]

Make either Bush Jr or Rummy look as evil as possible, the contest ends in one week. Yes, you have an entire week to make something good. Don't bother showing up at the last minute with mspaint crap, this is about the best the artists the frequent DU can do. If you're reading this and wondering if I'm talking about you because you know you can make some sweet graphics, yes, I'm talking to you.

I won't directly link the originals here because they are huge, thanks Air Force!, you can find them here:

http://www.af.mil/photos/coc/

Click on the pictures to get a super hi-res version.

You have a week, use all of it. I doubt this will get kicked much, so I'll abandon it, what really matters is the work shown next Friday night.

Good luck.

[Wonk]

2. Here's one I did last night.

Took all of five minutes, fwiw...

[DS1]

3. looks good, do better

I know you can.
Eliminate the blur around where his left index finger should be, for example, add a cracked texture, you have 7 days, use them :)

4. You want us to only use the originals from the AF page?

Is that the deal?

[DS1]

7. You can use either Shrub or Rummy, from these pictures

Yes, that is the deal.

[joefree1]

5. Can I use what I've alread created?

[DS1]

8. If what you have created was done with the pictures

listed, then yes, you can use them. There are no prizes besides winning this competition, however the rules will be as strict as a prize-winning competition.

[SOteric]

6. Are you the

sole judge of excellence, - or will you assemble a panel of experts?

[DS1]

9. Excellent question, glad you asked

I will be competing in this, so I cannot be a judge. I am answering questions for the first night, hoping one night is all it will take.

When the time comes, all pictures will be displayed and a poll thread will be started.

[LincolnMcGrath]

11. Nevermind

:thumbsup:

[LincolnMcGrath]

10. Lets vote on a panel to judge the contest

[onebigbadwulf]

12. Mine

[imhotep]

13. what does the winner get

?

[Zomby Woof]

14. one problem

You can't improve on nature. There is NO WAY to make either look more evil than they already are.

[onebigbadwulf]

15. Did you see mine??

I thought I did a good job of bringing out Bush's inner beauty

[DS1]

16. if you had left the background colors alone

it would have been much better

/snob

[onebigbadwulf]

17. How can you not like burning flag???!!

[DS1]

18. Easy, blend in the fire

spend more than 30 minutes on your entry. You have some sort of manipulation software, use it, you're selling yourself short. Don't believe me?

Open up your picture, walk away for an hour, come back and take a good long look, and ask yourself if it's publishable.

[Cat Atomic]

19. BOO!

Still need to fix the blurred edges on the wounds and such, but.

[LastKnight]

20. damn

if it wouldnt scare my 5 year old brother so bad id probably set that as my background to my desktop. thats just freeeeeaky thats a nice one. if you can, try pointing the ears a bit (i dont do the graphics stuff so i dont know if its doable or not)

[onebigbadwulf]

45. Stone Golumsfeld

[LincolnMcGrath]

33. Questions?

Will all entries be voted on in final poll? (Or only ten)

How long will the poll left up?


If a prize was offered, would that boost participation?

[DS1]

34. The standard poll utility won't work

so we'll have to write in the votes. Gasp.

Prize? OK, so it's not an official contest, if someone has something they'd like to donate, then sure. This, IMHO, was more about seeing the DU artists flex their muscles with a huge source pic, something that's rarely provided in all the 'somebody make me a photoshop' threads.

[LincolnMcGrath]

39. Ping

[HamstersFromHell]

40. Maybe not evil, but accurate...and defines PNAC

Enjoy...

[Cronus Protagonist]

48. Good Job, but he still looks a little too smart for my taste :)

Just kidding, if I were a chimp I'd be insulted, but I'm not, so I just laughed.
