Challenge 910: Going Platinum
This weekend the UK celebrates 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Personally I’m leaving the country to avoid the street parties. HM the Q has, to my eye, always had atrocious taste in clothes. Can you use this image and give her a more modern makeover? Something more fit for the 21st Century?

Here's an animated one I did earlier (10 years ago) entitled "We are not amused". I think it's dignified and respectful, and I think it's interesting to see a race change: a sort of "what if?"

When I'm at the osteopath's, tomorrow, I'll be screaming ow, ouch, and the osteopath will say "Where does it hurt Mr Sinclair" and I'll reply: "In my wallet!

Re: Challenge 910: Going Platinum
Pity the image is degraded so much. The original is 3000 by 2000 so it was difficult to get it small enough and still fairly presentable. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Wonderful idea, have you thought of posting through Flickr, then you can post as large as you like. _________________ Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize. |

Thanks Vibeke. I joined once before but forgot my password. During the time I had changed my e-mail address so the rest goes through to my old e-mail..  I do post full images in my gallery at Daz, Linkedin etc when and if they pass the grade...lol

Re: Challenge 910: Going Platinum
First to liven up HM the Q was Josephine Harvatt, with a dig at the fact that Prince Charles is still waiting for his crack at the throne. A cute idea - but that hat really clashes with the black and white coat! It’s full metal jacket from GKB, with a platinum monarch: good and shiny she is, too. I wonder if a big dollop of Median filter would smooth out that texture? Interesting to see michael sinclair’s image from the previous jubilee - subtle and thoughtfully done. I’m intrigued by how recognisable she is in the Taliban-approved version, just from those eyes. A good fit. And I do like the version with the hat. A racy new costume from Vibeke, which actually suits her remarkably well. That’s a seriously textured jacket! And I do like the added corgis. The transformation into the Red Queen from dwindt is splendid, with a grotesque set of Alice in Wonderland characters and a surprisingly racy Alice. I like how you’ve distorted the Queen’s features. An ingeniously wrought second entry, with the platinum Queen and frame: separating the elements has really made a difference to the metallic result. A fun anniversary doll from tooquilos, wearing a curious haircut. Is this based on a real doll? The gloved hands are very cute. I like the merchandise in the animated version, with her image plastered on a range of household objects. The different treatments for different surfaces work really well, and that animated corgi at the end is fun. A fine steampunk makeover from Ant Snell, with great makeup and eye patch. Looks like she’s been going to Anna’s hairdresser. I like those buttons! A decidedly avant-garde costume from Frank, her head fitting neatly onto the new body. Maybe consider tinting the face so it matches the colour of the hand? A spinning commemorative medal from lwc - and I like the way the lighting changes as it turns. That’s a very curious way to do text around a circle, though: Text Warp produces a most unusual effect. A charming image from Mariner, with a slimmed-down monarch in part shadow. I stared at this for a while trying to work out what was wrong with the bench, and I think it’s the angle of the sides compared to the angle of the girls’ feet. This is what I mean:  |
