Something for the Weekend - Part 174 - Spooky Night!

[davescm]

Hi

Thanks to all who took part in the last challenge based on Ged's excellent rendering, there were some great ideas and images.

This weekend, with the end of October coming up, we have something a little different. Rather than a starter scene, the challenge is to create a Halloween based image in whatever format you like, but it should incorporate the text below somewhere within it.

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. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* 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!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the image below with transparency, 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

Dave

I have been watching to much Food Network lately. 😂

Ha! My wife likes watching that.

Nice job K and a bonus for finding the same font 🙂

Is this a photo of a cake you decorated or was it from the show? It's too pretty to eat!

Jane-e, Hi.

No, I did not create that Halloween themed gingerbread house.

It was a downloaded image.  

Food Network program was an inspiration.

Dave, yep. I think I spent more time finding your same font.

Had to do “degrunge” it first.

First time I have ever used Adobe’s Cloud fonts.

I have an ungodly amount fonts and I use Font Agent Pro to manage.

Great cake and decorations. Do you deliver to Australia? 🙂

I love that Leslie. A film poster in the making 🙂

Maybe 'Halloween 13' as the movie title.

And here's one I did years ago which ended up on the game Wizard's Choice:

I love your two images Leslie, and how fun to see a different aspect of your artwork!

Jane

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Thanks, Jane! These two are in my Adobe Stock portfolio (and they sell well at this time of year!). Stock lets me expand my horizons.

[Chuck Uebele]

Great image. Love the red swirls that match the lettering. 

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Thanks, Chuck!

A scene from a Stephen King book, Ged?

Jane

[Ged_Traynor]

It's just a scene from my crazy head Jane 🤣

[jane-e]

Stephen King got rich from his crazy head Ged! 😊 He was my brother-in-law's neighbor when they were kids.

[Chuck Uebele]

I was in a NH cemetery, and ran across two headstones: Stephen King and his wife Mary Blood.

[Leslie Moak Murray]

Stephen King once sent me one of my own Get Well cards because the nurse looked like Annie Wilkes in Misery haha. He signed it "Beast Wishes from Your Number One Fiend."

[Chuck Uebele]

That's hilarious, @Leslie Moak Murray 

[davescm]

Very spooky scene Ged. The tortured souls in teh windows look quite disturbing !

Dave

[Chuck Uebele]

Here's my version.

I love it - and the use of black and white enhances the mood
