Josephine, glad you found a site.
FYI: it might be just me, but the version I see upload does not have any gif animation. (I haven't signed in)

Great animation, Josephine!

Michael Sinclair - Hope you feel better soon. Getting things to rotate smoothly is deceptively hard. Good job!

Very funny, Ant!

Trevor, I loved this last one.

Anna, what a great story. I wish I had your talent.

Re: Challenge 680: St Dominic's finger
Fuse clothing is what I call "coder chic" with some military gear thrown in. The suit options don't come with ties. But, I suppose someone giving out such an award would probably not be a stickler to social conventions. I hope I haven't pushed the boundaries of good taste too far with this one.

Juli Briskman got sacked from her job for this. Unfortunately, Virginia is an "at-will" state which means that employers can give employees the boot for any reason, or no reason at all. And, because this counts as "for cause" she can't claim Unemployment benefits. There is a GoFundMe page set up for her.

Love it Sarah!

Since when did employers get a say over the expression of our political beliefs in our own time when it has no bearing on how we do our job smh

Just a small variant,
DANGER
To destroy special radio press both buttons symultaneously

You might imagine what that is used for.

Thanks Sara. You have an interesting entry, feel sorry for Juli Briskman. Tough "justice" it seems.

Like it lwc, I was going to try something similar, only the subject was different, related to above, but was distasteful subject in my case.

Thanks Gordon - I admit it was a bit of an homage

Re: Challenge 680: St Dominic's finger
First to flip the finger (as it were) was GKB, who has turned it into a rather striking oil lamp neatly illuminating a bust of St Dominic. Very nicely done, and I'm glad you resisted the temptation to give your halo a shadow.

A funny entry from Ben Mills, featuring an ad for Cadbury's chocolate fingers. Simply done, but very effective.

The finger is brought to life by DavidMac, with a cute cartoon face. I like how the knuckle has been turned into a mouth, and the two spherized portions for the eyes. Funny.

A buttock-clenchingly funny entry from Frank, with the finger as the urologist's tool of choice - nicely assembled, with the urologist and his two patients all very well chosen. Perspective, though! That man in the foreground is far too short... and do you perhaps mean proctologist, rather than urologist?

A clever merger of the finger with a champagne bottle from Linda Eckert, where it fits remarkably well. I'd save the champagne for after you've mastered that fearsomely difficult piano piece. Don't recognise it - Liszt?

A tantalisingly teasing image from Josephine Harvatt, with the finger just starting to emerge on the right. Very interested to see what damage it might inflict. Ah, there's the animated version - I love the wiggle as it goes in and out!

A subtle entry from Jota120, with the finger grafted onto the hand of Jimi Hendrix. A neat fit, although I'm not sure about retaining Hendrix's original fingernail. I did enjoy the second entry, even if I feel slightly battered by all the imagery. The buttons in the third entry are cute.

The moving finger points... and in Deborah Morley's entry it points at Trump, who for some reason is sporting a couple of diamond earrings. He looks like he's about to swallow it!

A simple but engaging animation from michael sinclair - in which you get away with the minimum number of frames. Hope you get over the flu soon.

A somewhat grisly entry from tooquilos, featuring the rest of St Dominic's mummified hand inside, rather bizarrely, a fortune telling box. I like the way the moving finger writes in the animated version, and the sequence of the finger being stolen is splendid. Very atmospheric.

I like how Emy has turned the finger into a giant climbing wall, with five people valiantly scaling it: they're remarkably well positioned, making full use of all the decorations. I'm going to question your perspective again, though. Look at the crown right in the middle: we're looking down on it, so it must be below the horizon. It's easily fixed, and it makes the composition that much more convincing:



I was very amused by Ant Snell's entry, with a nodding dog in the back of a car accompanied the wagging finger of suburban disapproval. Ingenious idea, perfectly realised. Nice work.

"Just a candle," says Mariner disingenuously. What he's airily dismissing here is the hours of work needed to imagine the finger from another angle, which has involved completely redrawing it. Did you use 3D modelling techniques here? I suspect not - in which case the perspective view is all the more astonishing. Amazing work, Michael. Hugely impressed.

A really funny entry from lwc, with the finger boldly going where no finger has been before. I like how you've retained the knuckle creases of the original finger, and the rest of the reliquary clutched in the other hand. And, indeed, the fact that you've made the second hand from the first. Very good.

A splendid awards scene from srawland - a beautifully composed setting. I like the fact that you've moved the shadow on the right further away to fall on the curtain behind, but of course it should be straight rather than angled, as the curtain is parallel to the reliquary. Great choice of music for the animated version, and a great choice of recipient. You're getting some good voice actors on these!

Thank you Steve for the huge appreciation.

No, Steve. I am still using (and learning from) CS3, which has no 3D, so it was all done by hand.
