Wonderful work! That's is exactly the kind of creative thinking this challenge is about. I think a lot of folks are going to take inspiration from these.

Fantastic, Tina! That's a great workflow, too. Thanks for the detailed breakdown. (I can totally see the final result as a sticker!)

That is so perfect, and such a rich story! I immediately want to know about the huge Adobe edifice, the Photoshop splash screen on the wall, the modern Photoshop rug, and how they all relate to whatever has the mollies so fascinated. Maybe he's reading an email from Pete Green?

Way to go! He definitely looks like he's expecting a royal kiss from a passing princess.

Perspective tends to be less accurate than I'd expect from a 3D app, and the generated scene can be quite odd. For a while, I was trying to get the rabbit's reflection in the camera lens. The closest I could get was bits of rabbit protruding from the lens and the self-timer, so I gave up.

Great! The reason this is a monthly challenge is so folks have the time to work on their creations. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

That is fantastic (in the literal and colloquial senses of the word). If they ever do a Sci-Fi steampunk version of "Finding Nemo," this dude is going to be one of the stars! 😊

I'd have a hard time picking a favorite, myself. These are all great.

Quokkas are awesome, but wombats... You don't mess with a wombat.

Thanks! That's why I asked. I recognized the convention, but I was only aware of it through working with Colin. (Incidentally, his translation from the classical Chinese into English is now, at the request of Beijing University, being translated into modern Chinese. Quite a guy.)

In my experience (and not just mine), experimenting and play, like noodling and improvising in music, are where skill and creativity flourish.

Awesome, Rosi! I love the giraffe leg making a cameo appearance. And is that a wily wombat in the middle distance, disguised as a brown bear?

Well, not totally plain sight. The scene and the hazmat fellow are both Adobe Stock images (non-AI). Blending everything together was the fun part.

A promising start! The challenge is: "Create an environment around it, using Photoshop or Illustrator or any other Adobe tools you prefer. Add other creatures or plants to tell a story and complete the scene."

Love the scaly submarine in monster costume. Now, if Nessie had a periscope you'd have a hard time telling them apart! (I have to say, I never saw Loch Ness that sunny and verdant. Firefly must have picked a good day. 😆)

A chop is Chinese rather than Japanese, but it's a seal that usually looks like the stamp in the lower left. I asked because one of my clients used his own chop in the first book I designed for him, his translation of Sun Tzu. This is his chop:

The lamps were serendipity. Even after desaturating and pulling down clarity and texture with the ACR filter, they still read perfectly as decorative luminaires against the dark building. Opaque surface transforms into textured glass, and the specular highlight becomes the lamp seen through the glass. It's 100% perceptual, like the famous chessboard shadow illusion. I love stuff like that!

What a delight! And it's as hypnotic as an old paddle-steamer engine, like the ones that were the "in-flight" entertainment between the island the mainland when I was a kid. Brought back fond memories.

I love that. Did the chop come from Firefly, or do you have your own?
