Something for the Weekend - Part 243 - Stoned!

[davescm]

Hi,
Thanks to Trevor for creating our last 'Smörgåsbord' challenge, and thanks to all who took part in it. There were some very clever, and imaginative, images.

For this week's starter image, we have these pebbles on a beach. You could use them as a background, a pattern, a texture, or cut them out and use them as indidividual objects. How far will your creativity take you?

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).

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

Thanks Dave.  I am having a wee bet with myself about who will be the first person person to interpret 'Stoned'?

I've just _got_ to share this NZ 'safety' video  featuring three Maori children, (so you might not know some of the jargon).   It's a serious subject, but still funy as. 🙂

The chuby lad 'Julian Dennison' is in a NZ classic movie with Sam Neil called Hunt for the Wilderpeople

It's one of those movies you can watch multiple times.  A very cool, very Kiwi movie.

Very funny Trevor!

A clever, and funny, way of getting across a serious message.  Thanks Trevor.

Exactly, Dave. One had a daughter, who is out playing on the beach.

This week's project rocks! 

I'll see myself out. lol. 

[RosaPerry]

Wow!!!! This is so impressive Kevin!

[Trevor.Dennis]

That's clever Kevin.  Even starting with a wooden manikin, it lloks like you still only used some of it, and mixed an matched rock textures. Nice shading as well. 

[davescm]

Exceptional Kevin! The stone man fits perfectly.

[Oh.N8]

I see what you are doing there.

[fbeaume]

We'll have to be careful where we step on the beach.

You know what they say about people who live in glass houses . . . 

[Trevor.Dennis]

You have me thinking of that scene in Life of Brian.

[davescm]

Nice one Greg.
