I seem to be having problems uploading an image. When I select choose file, nothing happens. _________________ Wicked Witch of the West:I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog, too! |

Thank you Michael. I was rather stumped for ideas this week but came up with the tv images after some head scratching. Can’t say they were the best I have ever created. When the Trump image popped into my head I just had to drop everything and fire up Photoshop. It looks like your character might not have a head to scratch shortly 😱 _________________  |

"Hi!”........
This reminds me of a waiter I once had in Los Angeles. ’"Hi!! Welcome to the Canterbury Gatehouse. My name is Ashley. I will be your executioner tonight. We want to make your evening truly memorable. I hope you're ready for a real treat! Let me tell you about the exciting specials we have waiting for you this evening ............." _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

David, that's almost exactly the reaction I was hoping to trigger. |

Re: Challenge 990: Landed in gaol
First to go to gaol this week was Ant Snell, with an artfully extended room – I like the broken bench seat especially. I like the executioner, but the angle of the chopping block jars: we need to be looking down on it, not up at it. I like the way DavidMac's tay of light catches the prisoner’s toes, and that’s a much more appropriate head. The rats are better too. The only thing that confuses me is that the view through the window is so dark, which seems rather at odds with the bright sunlight streaming through it. I see I make a guest appearance in the Indiana Caplin entry, with its well-lit skeleton. You lose points for two spelling mistakes in “archaeologist”, though. A spectacular lighting entry, with multiple light sources that would give mere lighting mortals a major headache. I like the fact that you’ve used other entries as decorations. That does look like a much cosier place to stay. It’s the Man in the Iron Mask from lwc, with its multiple creepy crawlies. The ants on the bread are fun. I found the gorilla entry rather moving; I don’t know where the idea came from, but his gentle slumbering movement is very appealing. A cell upgrade from GKB, with a lit fire, a nicely placed new window and a curiously boxy TV. I like the moody lighting. Did we need the poster image, do you think? I imagine we’d have got the movie from a suitable still from the film. The same probably wouldn’t hold for Chicken Run, although anyone living in the UK in the 70s would have got Porridge. (And of course DavidMac’s Papillon completes the set.) I was amused by the canary entry – very cute! A spot of wishful thinking in the Trump entry I like all the extras you’ve squeezed in here. The aftermath of an escape from tooquilos, with busted bars and a rebuilt bench. I like the slight bevel on the crossed numbers that makes them look carved into the wall. Plenty of rats in the animation, with the bearded prisoner busting out of his cell. I like the glimpse of him swimming to freedom. Maybe you should take a tip from lwc and make his head wiggle a bit when he’s in the cell? I’d been wondering how Mariner would approach this week’s topic, and I haven’t been disappointed: recreated clothes and legs for the prisoner, and a gloriously camp executioner who’s too cosplay to be truly frightening. It could explain why the prisoner doesn’t look too bothered. What’s the man on the left going to do with that stick? There’s a real chiaroscuro quality to Frank's entry, with its array of new characters. I like the added window, and that’s a much better face for the prisoner. A curious composition, though: so much seems to be happening just out of shot. Resurrection time for michael sinclair, with a curiously prone monk arising to what we assume is heavenly splendour. That cell has the look of a 1990s video game – Wolfenstein or early Tomb Raider spring to mind. |
