Question

Something for the weekend - Part 225 - Fine-toothed comb!

Thanks to all who took part in our previous 'milestone' challenge.

 

This week we start with a simple comb. I have little use for one these days, but what can you make with it?

 

The “rules”:

  • Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
  • 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 your skills, or bring a bit of humor 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 starter image, 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). I've already put it on a transparent background, to save you time masking.

 

 

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun!

 

Dave

That's a great job bending the comb around the neck Trevor.

The way it worked out was I thought Polar Coordinates might be interesting, and after distorting the comb the ferocious dog idea came right at me.  It's funny how ideas are generated.  I find I can be dry of them for days, and then see someone else's upload and immediately think of another idea.  Other times I'll Google relevant words, and run them through a thesaurus, but there are times when absolutely nothing comes.  What I do find is that when I have an idea that makes me smile, I have to stop what I was doing and develop that idea.

 

I'd be interested in how other people generate SFTW ideas if nothing hits them right off the bat?

We should be safe with them behind there. At least until they realise they can walk around the ends! Nice job, Bob.

I saw your title after I saw your image, James. It works but I first saw a more positive image, opening up toward the green light. Either way, it's a nice one! 🙂

It is exquisite to at least one without knowledge of the reference, Brad.
