Photoshop Contest: Engines

PhotoshopPosted by Staaan

Just like in the previous photoshop contest, you are given a source photo to work with.

Your goal is to manipulate the photo in any way you want and turn it into a work of art. You can use Photoshop or any other digital image manipulation software.

This source photo is one of a plane engine. It was suggested by 'rturnbow' on Pxleyes almost 5 years ago:

— source photo —

You can find a high resolution version of the photo HERE

Be creative, and let's do some old school photo manipulations!

PS: It's very important to vote on every entry, the more votes we get, the more accurate the rankings will be. Also, when you see something on someone's entry that can be improved, let them know. That way, we can learn new skills from each other!

Good luck

This contest has finished!

Nice entry... well use of the images... I bet the butt of the raccoon is taking a hot hit.... I wonder if his fur is immune to fire... I think it is.... Looks great... Probably Wonder Woman should hire Him... I love the ornament over his forehead... good luck....

Thanks for the comment George! His face doesn’t seem to be worried so I guess his fur must have super powers. Thanks for taking the time to look.

Great job rebuilding the raccoon's far arm. Nice touch with the neon on the building. The smoke shows awareness of details. Hope the raccoon doesn't burn its butt.

Thanks Rubber-Ray! You really noticed the details, it means a lot. I was worried for this little guys tail, mostly. I tucked it between his legs so it wouldn’t catch fire.

Rubber-Ray replied to Chalty669 :

I thought it was a great idea. Making a Rocket Jet pack out of source, and then putting it on a racoon? Who the heck does that? WE DO!! We are Photoshoppers and we make Racoons, with a jet pack, flying over a city. 🤪

I looked at your sources vs your entry and saw the source racoon didn't have a far arm. I appreciated that you had the creativity and knowledge to rebuild the arm. One can't always find the perfect sources to use, and you made a creative solution with what you had.

Corn-girdle-ations on the deserved win. I do admire the fact that you had the imagination to make such a scene. I would have loved to been inside your head during the process of you deciding to make Rocket Racoon. I would have been taking notes. 🧐
