Something for the weekend - Part 43 - Halloween

Hi

Is it just me getting old , or does Friday come around faster these days?

As we approach the end of October, we are coming up to Halloween. It is an ancient festival enjoyed by many around the world and a great excuse for children to dress up and scare each other, and for adults to join in. So this weeks challenge is to make a scary, spooky image using the scene below which is a 3D render.

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.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy - come and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have, spooky, fun !

Dave

Well what a week !

Jane - love the reference to Snoopy & Charlie Brown

Jerry - I like the idea of everything being sucked up and leaving the transparent background for next week - clever.

Of course "next week" is here now so I'll post the new challenge.

Thanks to everyone who part

Hi

Jerry A Halloween bowling alley - I like it!

Jacob - eye's in every object. That should see us through the week.

Trevor - I should have known that since we had a conversation about that record. Fail on my part

Thanks to all who have taken part so far - there's still time for more !

Dave,

I did wonder whether the eighteenth (and largest (it was made last)) set was too indistinct.

And I, for one, am dancing on Kodachrome's grave. Good riddance.

Hi

Very atmospheric Ged. I wonder if she knows the girl in Rista's image - one of her neighbours perhaps?

Jane - it's the famous mountain lion !

Dag - a bit harsh on Kodachrome , but I like the image and the movement in it. The lighting is right also.

Keep them coming. If you just stumbled across this thread - don't just sit there - join in !

“Mama don't take my Kodachrome away!”

The mountain lion is a proxy for me, Dave, because that tree just had to be climbed.

Welcome Todd Shaner.  I ran straight to the kitchen to fetch some garlic after seeing your image!

I struggled to keep the file size down with this, so it might take a moment to animate.

Hi

Some great images this weekend.

Todd welcome to SFTW. I would not want to come across him while walking through the graveyard.

UssNorway, that's a nice job with the lighting on the character matching the candle light.

Trevor, I love the animation particularly the piper, and I just noticed the message on the stone - funny .

If anyone is wondering what that large number is in Trevor's post, it was from a side conversation about how many operations a fast 2500 core GPU was doing when rendering for several hours. It was the mist that bumped up the render times.
