Something for the Weekend - Part 247 - The finest cut!

[davescm]

Hi,
Thanks to all who took part in our previous 'Holding Pattern' challenge.

For our new challenge we start with a simple object, a pizza cutter, which I quickly modelled in 3D and textured in Substance Painter. You could use it to make an image cutting a pizza or put it to a new use entirely. The only limitation is your imagination.

When you post your response can you add just a few words on how you went about it. It may help others see the potential of different approaches, software, and tools to such a challenge.

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”.
• The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. 
• 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). It is set against a transparent background so there is no initial cutting out required.

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

Dave

[Oh.N8]

Pizza, Pizza man, I am going to be your pizza man. 🙂

Even Donald Trump has bigger hands than that Jane. 😉

I like the style and colouring in this, Suzanne. The foreground illustration works well with the background.

It's hard to un-see it once given that mind picture Derek.  Hmmm... I have just noticed my unintentional pun. Oh well. Never mind.

[PaintedKitty]

They got-ta use that one a pizza box. It would look so classy and unique.

[davescm]

That is funny, mj. I like the creatures on the front. It looks like transport may be another theme this week. 🙂

Man, that is fun! Guillermo del Toro would go for this, 100 percent, but it's also brilliantly Cirque du Soleil. The winter weather is playing with your mind, bro. Weird stuff's coming out!

[Oh.N8]

Wow!

[@mj]

Tnx so much you beautiful people! Have a fabber than fab day!

[PaintedKitty]

Its like the classic Dodo bird from the Loony Toons universe.

It always has something to do with a wheel 😁

 

[AlanGilbertson]

Lovely polished product, as always.

Like a circle in a spiral, a wheel within a wheel., never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel . . .  (One of the best circle-of-fifths songs ever written, still awesome almost 60 years later, from the real Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, not the copycat remake.) (I'm slightly horrified to realize I saw that movie when it came out, and I wasn't underage for the rating.)
