Thank you to all who took part in our previous locomotive challenge. There were some great ideas and images.
This weekend we have a miner's safety lamp. There have been many variations since its invention by Humphrey Davy in 1815, but all work on the same principle and it has saved many lives.
What can you do with it?
The “rules”:
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). It is a png with transparency so you should not need to spend time creating a mask for it.
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

I like the lighting - the blue cold forest and the warm glow from the lamp.

Is that a Filter>Render>Flame? I couldn't make it work for me, and ended up using a genAI flame that I then messed about with.

I like it - it's a good use of the lamp. Which one is the magician though - the girl or the rabbit? 🙂
I embedded the image for you

Thanks for inserting the image Dave.
The rabbit definitely has control of part of this trick 🙂

The Genie looks innocuous in the lamp, but together with the rest of the image - scary!

Woah! That's one spooky doll. She'd make a good match for my Chucky. I didn't note what SFTW it was from, but I put this on flickr in September 2018. I remember doing the Chucky, but I had completely forgotten that I made it a frame animation.

Did you know that there is a lampghost? It took me some Photoshop work on my iPad to make him visible.
