http://vimeo.com/522237595 Very diverse and funny work from everyone this week. The first thing I 'saw' when I looked at this challenge was The Hulk. It's a bit of a rush job but still wanted to submit something.  _________________ Dorothy: "there's no place like home!" |

Lovely stuff all. I also didn't know what to do so I tried to get corny. Hope it works.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

From the debris in the pile of rubble on the road, I'd guess a cylinder crashed through it.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 847: The hole in the wall
First to plug the hole this week was DavidMac, with Desperate Dan reaching for his cow pie. I like the Dandy logo sprayed on the wall. The Superboy football in the second entry tells a clever story - subtle and perfectly formed. And the Dad’s Army reference in the third entry is most apt, especially as Dad’s Army was filmed just up the road from here. And a really fun fourth entry - but maybe the edge of the mouth should be unpainted to show the thickness of the wall? The fifth entry is beautifully constructed (unlike their wall). Brilliant. I enjoyed lwc's dinosaurs, with the hovering pterodactyl and the green boiling sky. A pity to use the same head from the same angle twice, though. A gloriously squirmy second entry, with truly disgusting tentacles. My only change here would be to make the one on the right come through the wall at the same angle as the others. But I really like this one. Serious flatulence from the dinosaur in the third entry! A perfect pose in the fourth entry, with a really chilled-out lizard. Cute. DougD's alien invasion is glorious in its scope and complexity - damn, Doug, I’d forgotten just how good you were. The detailing, from the satellite dish on the alien’s head to the smoke from the cottage on stilts, is amazing. A beautiful and charming second entry, with a great sense of texture. Excellent work. And I think DD to be a Detail Demon. It takes a lot to tempt Nick Curtain back to the Forum, and this image has clearly tickled his imagination: the Hole in the Wall Gang are the obvious choice for this location. Expertly done, apart from the tiny bit of cutout missed between the hats of the men on the right. But I’ll be generous and say you moved the hole behind them. Good to see you again, Nick. Elegant fencing from Mariner, with a finely constructed drystone wall and some beautiful ironwork. But I am going to have to take you to task on your perspective. The angle of the fence shows a horizon line just above the midpoint. Is the garden behind on a very steep slope? The second entry, however, is splendid, and tells a good story. Two things to watch out for: you have a tendency to oversaturate clothing - perhaps to make it match your avatar? And when you compress a truck, do make sure to keep the wheels round or they’d be in for a very bumpy ride. Frank's escape image is splendid - again, there’s a real story being told here. The barbed wire, and the subtlety of the just-glimpsed guardhouse, are excellent. Curious angle on the Harley, though. Looks like tooquilos has brought in the Hulk to demolish what remains of the wall… finely wrought, with good cracks. Pink Floyd makes the perfect soundtrack for the animated version. I like Hulk’s breathing, but why does he change colour half way through? A good story line from dwindt, the rocket making perfect sense of the hole. Personally, I’d have preferred it without the captions: I think the visuals tell the story on their own. A great background, with plenty of fine farmyard additions. Although it does make sense of the tremendous second entry, and the explanatory third entry - good to see a three-chapter story line! |

Re: Challenge 847: The hole in the wall
Thanks, Steve, for a tricky challenge
Well, maybe. 
I know, it's to make the figures stand out more from the background. The avatar? Didn't even think of it.
Oops! Will try and remember next time. |

Re: Challenge 847: The hole in the wall
Thanks Steve This one appealed to me as I'd just watched the old film again. The part between the hats is the hole in the wall and I have the layer mask to prove it! I had to enlarge and move the wall to make the perspective work. Glad to have taken part again. Nick |

Re: Challenge 847: The hole in the wall
You know I spotted that a day after I posted. Being of a lazy nature I convinced myself that the reveal was painted as well - rather than correct and re-post. Of course, if that were really so, it would be shadowed and visible in a change of pink. Should know better by now than to expect you to miss things like that! Funny, when I first saw this one it looked rather dull and I couldn't think of a damn thing and then suddenly the ideas popped up in quick succession. Thanks Steve. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
