Something for the Weekend - Part 242 - Smörgåsbord

[Trevor.Dennis]

Hi,

Thanks to all who took part in our last, 'Time and Tide', challenge.  We had lots of imaginative ideas and fun interpretations of Dave's photo of a North Yorkshire coastal town.

This week I'm helping Dave out, and I'm going to do something a bit different — mainly because I can't do the amazing photorealistic renders that Dave has started so many SFTW threads with.  This Smörgåsbord is an image buffet, many of which I have collected in my travels, and others that I have found online. 

The Rules:

• Use as many of my image elements as makes sense for your upload.  You can choose your own backgrounds.

• 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!  Bonus points if you create something quirky (like my pen/rubber).  Minus points if you resort to a Mr Potato Head 😉
• We usually provide starter images to use only for the challenges — they do have a habbit of reappearing in later challenges.  As this is a different kind of starter, you are welcome to keep and use my images as you like.  Just note that they are not all my images.

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 important to save the image to a local drive (rather than right click and copy) in order to retain transparency.

Excelent fb.  The perspective is spot on, and the shading for things like the strap is really good.  I love that you included all the extras like press studs and that little chrome button.   I'm convinced that really exists!

BTW, Just to say sorry, but the Like button is broken again (for me).

Very cool and creative.

Thanks Nate! I appreciate!

That's awesome! The worm is a brilliant little detail that makes the whole thing extra special.

[fbeaume]

Thanks Alan! I added the worm to bring life to the picture...Happy you noted and liked this detail!

[Christelle RD]

I love it, and the little earthworm is the icing on the cake!

[fbeaume]

Thanks Christelle!

This is all constructed other than the hands and the tree, because I was getting bored with it by the end.

[PaintedKitty]

I agree with this one as I have been having a lack of that these days. 😴😌

adding a bit of an extra bounce??

🙂  I did think about animating it into position, but that would realy need a video animation, and I am only comfortable with frame animations.  I bet it is not too hard with Adobe Express or Animate.

Zebedee! I can hear the "boing" now!

A very clever idea, Trevor. Nicely done!
