Hi

For this weekend's challenge I'm looking for a "Something for the weekend" mousetrap.

You can make it as simple or as complex as you like and you can choose to composite it from photographs, illustrate it, model it in 3D, or animate it. It's entirely up to you.

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

LOL. I wanted to come back and work on the shadows but ran out of time. But oh, the peer pressure.

Very nice, and two mice, Barb.

The concept of seeing things from the other side reminds me of the trap in the cavern in The Castle of Llyr.

"Squeaking" in at the end of the weekend...

Jane,

Obviously, you have been both roaring and squeaking in, just in time, but considerately avoiding skid marks on the fine floor.

A very convincing motor mouse.

Graham,

That sounds just as frightening as ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US, which was actually said by the CATS.

I had the same thought, but have not had a lot of time for the forum since Friday. I also found the perspective confusing. The floor's vanishing point is high and left...

...and the scene has a tiny front to back convergence. I'm sure Dave can tell us what the camera focal length was for the render, but I am guessing it was 'long'.

Hi Trevor

Camera lens is 50mm focal length but with the "film" aspect ratio of 2.5:2 rather than the usual 35mm 3:2.

The camera is 0.27m from the floor and the mouse hole is 2.27m along the floor from the camera. The skirting board is 16cm high.

Add words. if you like. I created this without any brushes using only selection tools, Gradient tool & Bucket fill. Took 5 minutes. A Stock accepted it as a Vector. NOT!
