Image Editing Fun!

Okay, all you graphic guys and gals, here’s you chance to show off!

I’ve seen this done in other forums but thought that it would be fun to see what CivFinatic’s come up with.

So let’s get started!

Here’s your first Image Challenge! Your goal is to somehow edit the picture below, changing it somehow to make it as funny as possible.

You can do this by adding something to the picture, removing something from the picture, taking parts of the picture and putting them in a new picture, etc. It's pretty much up to you as long as some element of the picture below ends up in your final graphic.

While the goal of this is to have fun, remember it is a “pseudo-competition” and should be taken, at least somewhat, seriously.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE RULES / RECOMMENDATIONS:
-Use any graphic program(s) you like!
- This is an "image manipulation" contest, NOT a "caption" contest. If all you're doing is adding a plain text layer that is not in any way integrated into the graphic, you're not doing enough.
- Entries featuring multiple random anime references without any discernable point or objective are a “no-no”
- Entries that poke fun at other forum members are strongly discouraged. We do not want to poke fun at any of our forum friends! And while an “inside joke” is funny to you, other’s just won’t “get it” and thus miss out on the “fun” of this “competition”.
- Images where the joke doesn't require any text caption are usually better than images that have multiple distracting chat bubbles.
- Invest a decent amount of time thinking of an idea BEFORE you start editing the graphic, and spend a decent amount of time editing as well. We want to produce some “high quality” work, not just something thrown together in 2 minutes.
- Please try not to make the “edited” images too big! Anything above 1,000 pixels (width and/or height) is quickly approaching too big, and you should be able to keep WAY below that without much of a problem! (It would probably be best to keep within the “original” size of the image.)
- The “contest” will last no longer than a week! I will then see about adding a “new” image to work on.
(edit: Please note!)
-I will try to give at least a 3 hour "warning" as to when the current "contest" will end. Any entries after that will be considered...just "fun" additions
-Please give your "artwork" a title, this will make voting a bit easier as some "artists" like to submit more than one picture.
-Voting will take place as soon as the next image is posted
-YOU MAY VOTE EVEN IF YOU HAVENT SUBMITTED AN EDITED IMAGE!

It must be acceptable for CFC.

Be creative, but please keep it “clean”!

Feel free to comment on “entries” but please try not to “spam” the thread! Please remember that this is supposed to be comedy! If you can't "take" the jokes (political or otherwise) posted in this thread...please try not to turn this thread into a debate about any one edited image!

Also if you come across a picture you think would be a good "original" then send it onto me (PM's are good) and I will get it on the list of images to use!!!!!

I will post links to the original pictures and then to the 1st and 2nd places winners (choosen by viewers of this thread) right here!

Motorcycle Dude

I call it "Man Lands on Mars!"

Ahh, Phuket... I'm going to Thailand!

You might as well end this competition right now. Check it out.

The term is 'farking' by the way.

My first attempt to homoshop anything ever:

Ok, I took 4 minutes instead of the usual 2.

Is this legal, or did I change too much?

the cats hungary

DP, clean the wheels and make that "mission accomplished" sign fit in the picture and we might just have a winner

Too bad I am no good at photoshopping pictures, or I would give it a try. Some pretty funny one s though.

Thanks Heres a cleaner wheels version. Dont know what to do about the sign without making it worse though.

used Paint for this, so forgive the slightly dirty editing.

How do I insert a picture, cos I got one, but it isn't online?
Thanks.

when you reply to the thread (dont use the quick reply at the bottom, actualy click the "post reply" button), attach the file at the bottom of the reply screen (press the browse button and find your file).

or, upload the file to the cfc servers by clicking the "upload file" link at the bottom of this page (very bottom), then in your post put the link to it into

Thanks Roddyvr

Okay this took me about 10 minutes, cos I had to google for background. Also it is a bit cliched to be honest.

all the pictures here use the motorcicle dude, and get rid of the terrain. thought i'd do the opposite. except i cant get rid of the motorcicle guy and not have the space he's in look even sligtly clean (it looks just like i took squares of the empty sky and pasted it over the motorcicle, which is what i did).

so i'll just leave him in for now.

Yeppers! As long as some part of the original is in the "new version" you are good to go!

I'm lovin' all the entries so far! I knew CFCer's had great sense of humor!

As Eric Clapton would say, see if you can spot this one.
