Something for the Weekend - Part 249 - Poison Pen!

[davescm]

Thanks to all who took part in our previous 'What goes up' challenge. 

This week something a bit different. I heard the phrase 'Poison Pen' in a TV drama recently and my thoughts arrived at the image below. Made in 3D, the objects on the 'desk' are from Substance 3D assets, which I textured, along with the desk, in Substance Painter.  The background was AI generated in Photoshop, using Firefly, and blurred to match the image before taking into Blender prior to rendering. Finishing was in Photoshop.
 
So we have our starter image, what will you do with it? You could use any or all of the objects, or make something using the entire scene. 

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).

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!

Is it the one where that blond lady in a pink track suite flew about the UK in a helicopter improving people's gardens with Alan Titchmarsh?

Thanks for your comment! I appreciate!

For this challenge, I felt like "Poison Pen" sounded like a cool name for a distillery. So I took the starter image into Photoshop and used "Generative Fill" to begin removing elements such as the pen and the cap on the table, and added in shot glasses and a cap to the bottle. I also removed the branding on the bottle, generated a brand logo using Adobe Firefly, and then placed it on top of the bottle.

[Nick Gioia]

No shots for me, thanks. 😄

A bit late but hope this brings a smile to someone.

Note - do realise the book is quite small.

Notebook must really love the poison pen. 

[AlanGilbertson]

That's fun! The notebook gave me an idea. There's an opportunity for some forced perspective in the leather inlay because it defines the perspective, now that I look at it. Tweak the perspective with the leather, throw in a bit of Gaussian Blur, and you're there.
