Something for the weekend - Part 113 - Inkblots.

[davescm]

Over the months we have been running these challenges we have seen some great creative ideas. I wonder what our creative minds will make from these inkblots. 

The “rules”:

• 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!

To download the image below at 3000 x 2000 pixels, with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun, no doubt the amateur psychiatrists will have a field day with our results 🙂

Another inkblot character (with some extra blotting).

[davescm]

Another good one Dean ! Great use of the blots

Dave

[Dean_Utian]

Thanks Dave.

Like you, discovered the character by turning the image upside down. It did require joining the blots.

Off Topic:

Has this Adobe Forum recently disabled the Edit option??? The …  More leads to nothing.

Stupid question, where is the emoji icons insert button on a text reply???

Kathryn,

I am afraid the Edit option is gone for everyone but staff and ACPs/MVPs, owing to some bad cases with posters that have undone moderation, which makes it more difficult for the innocent; it is possible to ask a moderator, and most (other) ACPs/MVPs are also moderators.

I have never used and never looked for for emoji buttons, but until a while ago it was possible to use the emoji key combinations. I am afraid that option is also gone, and even more afraid that it is my fault: I joked about what happened when I came to the eighth step in an instruction starting with step 1), and then it sort of snowballed.

Jacob, Hi.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

There is always a backstory and history to everything.

OK, I’m alone here. >:-O

I recognise that door - I made it for SFTW58  🙂

Is it only me though that thinks it is winking at me after the addition of the inkblots ?

Dave,  HI

Yes, I strategically placed and scaled your inkblots to give you a wink back.

Glad you got that.

The very small dark mail opening on your door was the eye wink.

You did the very hard part with creating the doors image!!!

My starting point was working with your two symmetrical images.

Quick PS, I only slightly modified Inkblots using layers masking, Brushes, Opacity and multiply mode.

Actually, this seriously reminded us of a painter subtractor we regrettable once hired!!!!

Kathryn,

I wonder whether we are looking at a drive by shooting in a (neighbour)hood that is more playful than violent.

[chanaart]

Did not have lots of creativity in my head.....

I have COVID 19 brain!

[Ussnorway]

we all have days like that mate ☺

[davescm]

Hopefully , one day soon, that's all that will be left of Covid - a few blots in our memories.
