reference pictures manipulation challenge

The goal of this competition is to create your own works of art using any photo or photos of your choice from Reference Pictures. We will add them to Reference Pictures Creations in order to both advertise and inspire Elftown members and general web-browsers to use Reference Pictures and spread the word!

Images that you submit here will be not be considered public domain, as with the Elftown Photo Reference Marathon and Reference Pictures. They will, however, be used to create a library of art to inspire others to use Reference Pictures and to advertise Elftown to other artists.

2010-10-02 [The Dizzy Raven]: Looks like fun! :D

2010-10-02 [Mrs Vicious.]: Im not a photographer really.

2010-10-02 [Chimes]: This is photomanipulation, rather than photography. :) You grab photos from Reference Pictures and then you edit(manipulate) them so that they fit the theme. Essentially it's making art out of already existing photos.

2010-10-02 [ZeoOfFire]: Hmm, not really a big user of Photoshop, but I suppose this is one way of learning! I'm in!

2010-10-02 [Mrs Vicious.]: I dont have photoshop.

2010-10-02 [Chimes]: If you want to take part but don't have photoshop, there's a program called Gimp which is free to download at http://gimp.org. :) It's what I started manipping on.

2010-10-02 [Mrs Vicious.]: I think Id rather not to be honest, it looks like a nice page and all but Im just not really interested.

2010-10-02 [Jadala*(Once upon a moment)]: I like fotoflexer myself. I may try this.

2010-10-09 [sequeena_rae]: Like the new badge :) I won't be entering though x

2010-10-09 [Lothuriel]: *glares at [sequeena_rae]* and why not?

2010-10-10 [sequeena_rae]: Because I don't want to :P
And because I'm not mentally able to at this moment in time.

2010-10-10 [Lothuriel]: Oh, I suppose that's a good enough reason :p Sorry you are having such a rough time *hugs*

2010-10-10 [sequeena_rae]: Pfft what were you going to do anyway, beat me? :O xx

2010-10-10 [Lothuriel]: Ya never know...

2010-10-10 [Nioniel]: No beatings for Squee! >:/

2010-10-10 [Lothuriel]: :p

2010-10-10 [Nioniel]: :)

2010-10-10 [sequeena_rae]: I have protection pmsl

2010-10-10 [Lothuriel]: Well that changes everything! :p

2011-01-28 [Skydancer]: Hmmm are we that far behind? The deadlines are 2010.... and here it is 2011

2011-01-28 [Lothuriel]: OMG!! I did not even realize that I put 2010!!! Thanks for pointing that out!

2011-01-29 [hanhepi]: i was very sad for the steampunk one, i thought "almost a year ago it closed, and still no entries?" i'm not quite as sad for it now. lol

2011-01-29 [hanhepi]: halloween still says november 2010, if it's still open, you should probably mess with the deadline, if it ain't, should it be in the current section?

2011-02-01 [Lothuriel]: The Halloween one is closed. I need to open the poll and give out badges ASAP. I was under the impression that my assistant was going to do it but, guess not :P

2011-02-01 [Flisky]: Sorry. That was my bad. I was trying to take care of the Halloween and Christmas contests. :P

2011-05-03 [Lothuriel]: Thanks for fixing that :P
