Something for the Weekend - Part 253 - One hundred and eighty!

Community Expert ,
Nov 07, 2025 Nov 07, 2025

Thanks to all who participated in our previous, Halloween based, challenge. There were some great ideas and images shared. This week we have something different.

'One hundred and eighty', the highest score with three darts, became famous for the way it was called out by Russ Bray, a professional referee with a unique style to his declaration of the score. So this week, I bring you three darts (actually a 3D render). What will you make with them, 180 or something else entirely?

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 rendered with a transparent background so no need to create an initial mask.

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

You are not wrong Ged.  And it's not like there are no dart boards to be found with Google Images.

I used Frame Animation in the Timeline Window. Background was generated with Gemini from a quick sketch and prompt.

The twist of the dart tail as he bounces is a great touch. An excellent idea, very nicely put together.

I seem to have convinced myself that if I keep watching that little stickman diver, it will eventually stop for a rest.  I've been sitting here for hours waiting for it to happen.  If it doesn't stop soon, I'll have to send out for some Uber Eats!
