Big Triumphant Penis

Please Help this Picture He's just hanging out. Image credit: Big Duck Nominate - discuss this image

It looks fine to me. Except I don't have a beard. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:46, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Looks good to me. But maybe you could convert it over to a PNG? Also, link your sources. -- 17:02, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

This Classical statuary, discovered in ruins long since destroyed to make way for a strip mall, florist, and superstore hair-and-nail salon, reenact the hierarchy of the culture's sacred rites, which were commonly held by their men to be an allegory for entire fated course of man's life.

Impressive phallus, erm, I mean... picture. But if your aim is to wander about thrusting it about at passerby for their en masse adoration, you are sorely, spongily mistaken: if you conduct a probing Tineye search, your idol would present itself to be unoriginal. I expect that the submitter is already aware of this fascinating deception, and merely wanted to "flaunt what he's got". If this is the case as it stands hanging out - the throbbing, pulsating, heavily vascularised truth, as it were - there are other places for that. We could flog the offender before the mast, but then again he's already been beaten by centuries.

Rather than making fun of a serious medical condition, however, he could instead do something original, just as I have made a pathetic, unfunny - and ultimately, technically flaccid - attempt to do here, warts and all. --KUN VFH POTM VFP(IMAGES⇔TALK) 00:47, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

The situation room

Please Help this Picture The situation, seen here, situating with his situation in the situation room. Image credit: Magic man Nominate - discuss this image

I don't get it. That said, the plaque is shiny wrong - look at the door handles. Relative to them, it's backwards and too bright, so if you flip the background and tone it down to match the image, it should help. 1234 ~ 20:02, 22 May 2011

As for not getting it, have you ever herd of jersey shore, the TV show? The man in the room always called his abs "a situation", therefore, he adopted the nickname "The situation". As for the other things, I'll see what I can do. -- 22:51, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Nope! But that... ah, okay. Also, another thing - there's a reflection on one pane but not the other - if you put the reflection over the guy, it could look pretty cool, but you could also just remove it from the other one. Either way, consistency would help. 1234 ~ 22:59, 22 May 2011

Okay, I'll try to do the window pane thing. But I just got finished fixing the other stuff. How's it look? -- 23:20, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Here's a shock; looks like the file didn't update properly. >.< 1234 ~ 23:24, 22 May 2011

GODDAMN WIKIA! -- 23:44, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

It looks like the actual image updated, but the thumbs haven't. You might want to click on the actual image to see it. -- 23:54, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, so I added glass in front of him, and it even looks like the image updated properly, so you can see! Hooray! So, what do you think? -- 22:23, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, better... the plaque still really stands out a lot, though. 1234 ~ 23:37, 24 May 2011

How about now? Better? Worse? Cheese? You tell me. -- 00:23, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Now it has a weird border around it... *shifty eyes* 1234 ~ 00:27, 25 May 2011

Weird border gone! -- 00:39, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Wooo, better. 1234 ~ 00:50, 25 May 2011

Thanks! Anything else? -- 01:11, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe blur the sign? And possibly make it darker? I mean, what you did helped, but it still really stands out. Also, someone else's input on this whole thing would probably be of more use now. *glares around* 1234 ~ 03:05, 25 May 2011

Make it darker!? I was making it lighter this whole time! *Head explodes* -- 03:45, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Eh... unrelated, please don't use jpegs. Seriously. Every time you save this, it gets more distorted... use pngs. 1234 ~ 07:58, 25 May 2011

Jpegs are just fine. Some of my best friends are Jpegs. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 14:12, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, so I converted it to a png, BUT IT WON'T FUCKING UPDATE CORRECTLY! So it might not look that great. Anyway, so, Modus, what do you think of the image? -- 16:04, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

The left side of the dude (image left, not his left) has a thick black line that probably shouldn't be there, unless he actually has a border on one side. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:29, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

How's that? -- 15:31, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

• Not funny. Also, too small. -- The Zombiebaron 19:04, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Not funny as in you don't get the joke, or not funny as in, you get the joke, but it's just not funny? -- 15:30, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

I get the joke but I don't find it funny. It's a terrible pun involving a character from a terrible TV show. -- The Zombiebaron 19:43, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

I agree completely (with the part about the show being terrible). God do I hate that show... -- 19:45, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Stupid Cats

The chopsticks are awfully pixelly. The edge of the bowl, too. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:10, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Perspective of the... er, broth is a little off, too - since we're viewing from an angle, the apparent distance between the edge of the liquid and the rim of the bowl should be a fair bit less on the near side. 1234 ~ 02:22, 17 May 2011

Also, it's painfully obvious that the chopsticks are chopped to look distorted as they go into the water. You might want to do something about that... -- 00:43, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Aye, and again, consider the perspective - are they really going into the liquid directly at the edge of the container? If the edge of the liquid on the chopsticks is further down the chopsticks, that would also make them look more realistic. 1234 ~ 02:11, 18 May 2011

Actually, I was just looking at the image, and I would go one step further and say that it's actually bleedingly obvious that the chopsticks were chopped into the photo. What I mean is, the chopsticks look two dimensional, while the rest of the image looks three dimensional. -- 04:34, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

If you tried to pass it off as an ancient painting (or basically any form of non-photographic art) then it'd be a hell of a lot more convincing, methinks. Because I can't see this picture becoming convincing looking as a photo.~~ Sir Ljlego, GUN  [talk] 04:44, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Wait. Those are chopsticks? They don't look like chopsticks. Maybe a spoon next to the soup bowl would be more appropriate. -- The Zombiebaron 08:15, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, what a great idea, Zombiebaron! A spoon, or maybe a fork? Either way, do chop sticks really make sense for whole cats? -- 14:23, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

For the love of god...why can't I get this much attention and critique and feedback with my articles!?!?!!?!? Okay...thanks a lot for the comments so far (more are welcome). I was very aware of the flaws...I lost the original versions so I can only begin with the first uploaded version. I was considering making the water muddier (to look like broth). The chopsticks I thought gave a cool effect with the distortion in the water, and I did consider a spoon. If three people have a problem with the chopsticks then Ill take them out and add a spoon and a couple side dish bowls, Korean style. Ill depixilate the edges of the bowl, make the water level symetrical, then apply the filter to the water, readd the laurier, chives, oil bubbles and then readd the shadows. I wont go so far as to turn it into a painting. Thanks again guy for all the ideas. Now...ehm...go give me ideas for Democracy is not permanent, Mahjong, Stupid Cats and Cool beans!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?? --ShabiDOO 17:28, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

But reading and thinking about articles takes more effort than just looking at an image... and people are so lazy. 1234 ~ 22:34, 18 May 2011

The liquid is awfully watery. I'd want some tomato or something with my cat soup... (catsup?) Could there be a few more bits of chopped veg and a cheeky liquid effect? And a tablecloth background would really add to the impact. If it's to my satisfaction I shall tip 25%, waiter. -- Hindleyite Converse • ?pedia 18:51, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Moses with Ipad

Please Help this Picture When Moses finally reached the top of Mount Sinai he was surprised to find God had left him the holy Ipad; complete with the ten commandments, the angry birds app, and all! Image credit: Magic man Nominate - discuss this image

Me and my friend made this. What does anyone think? -- 01:06, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Can you make the ipad look like it's painted? (Also, 2,000 × 2,708 is unnecessarily big. It's 2 1/2 meg, and bigger than monitors) Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:11, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Er... I actually did make it look like it was painted; you can't really tell, but I did. It was either make it look too painted, or make it look... Not so much painted; I chose the latter. But I'll see what I can do. -- 04:15, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I agree with Modus. At full-size the iPad totally doesn't fit in with the rest of the image. -- The Zombiebaron 04:20, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

You're right... -- 04:50, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I made it smaller. Now I'm working on making the Ipad look more painted. -- 13:53, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

I hope it looks better now. What we did was we did a free select of a section the exact same shape as the Ipad, and we copied it. Then we pasted that over the Ipad but we switched the blend mode of the layer to lumosity, so it wouldn't effect the colors. Then we lowered that layer's opacity so it would be faint. We did this in the hopes that we could get the right texture. What do you guys think? -- 02:09, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hey! We didn't come here for your life story! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:27, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry. But what do you think? -- 03:28, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I still don't think it looks right. I do, however, think that it's a minor quibble. So minor, in fact, that only a bastard would've brought it up in the first place. I think you can see where I'm going here. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:36, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Do you think it needs to look more painted? -- 03:41, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I think it would look better more brush strokey, yes. Alternately, make Moses more iPad. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:52, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I hate to keep saying this, but we did that too. We tried to make him look more life like, and the Ipad look more painted. We wanted it do be somewhere in the middle. Anyway, gotta get off now. Bye! -- 03:58, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Actually I tried to do a quick fix before getting off; I added a canvas texture. Does that help or just make it worse? -- 04:05, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

The iPad is very crisp and shiny, the guy not so much. You've toned it down, but perhaps even more? Add some actual brush strokes, perhaps - make it less straight and even. The canvas could be good as it helps tie the entire thing together, but it really shouldn't need that, either, you know? Meh, worry about the strokes first; that'd be a final effect. 1234 ~ 04:40, 29 March 2011

Okay, we added brush strokes. Is it better now? -- 02:41, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Can't tell, unfortunately. Wikia's servers are crap and have been refusing to display new versions of files today. 1234 ~ 09:41, 30 March 2011

So it's still the last version? -- 14:50, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Mhm. May take a few months for the thing to update, too. May never update... 1234 ~ 01:42, 31 March 2011

GODDAMN WIKIA! -- 01:53, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Exactly. 1234 ~ 02:36, 31 March 2011

Well, if it ever does update, tell me what you thing. -- 02:59, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Or you could reupload it under a different filename. 1234 ~ 03:01, 31 March 2011

It's here. -- 03:08, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Mmm, different, yes... better... maybe. The edges are still strangely sharp and straight. 1234 ~ 03:16, 31 March 2011

You think so? I thought we'd done a good job... -- 03:19, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

You have. It could be better. And honestly, the canvas really shouldn't be necessary, but... eh. 1234 ~ 03:30, 31 March 2011

I know the canvas shouldn't be necessary, but I like it. So... Fuck off. -- 04:08, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

How rude. And when we're trying to help you and all, too... 1234 ~ 04:40, 31 March 2011

To be fair, I've just been leading Magic Man terribly astray, down, down, trapping him in a shame spiral; a well of neurotic despair. Also, Moses is too small compared to the ipad. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 06:22, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

You're not supposed to let him know that, mon! Suspicion is bad enough, but now he'll know for next time! 1234 ~ 06:51, 31 March 2011

Oh... not really sure how that's funny, but anyhow, if you want to add text to the end, it might look better if it was a little less wide, no more than what was already there, and also perhaps move the whole text thing up so it's more vertically centred. 1234 ~ 15:17, 19 February 2011

Yeah, it's the fonts. Generally, if you can't match the additional type to the original exactly, it's good to mask out the original text and do both the new and original in one typeface. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:13, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

The changed text isn't the chunky "stamped" text of the, um, original. I don't know how much of a difference that really makes. On the other hand, besides the changed text, there's nothing Thanksgivingish on the 'chop. Swap the beret for a Puritan-style hat, rr the hammer/sickle for a turkey, maybe?

That aside, this image... um. It's supposed to be a lady swinging a lichen-encrusted frying pan, if you can't tell, but the swing just looks odd and the lichen doesn't even look like lichen on this monitor, although this monitor sucks, so... eh, anyhow, any ideas? And anything else terribly wrong, or not so terribly wrong, for that matter? Thanks in advances. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) (stalk) -- 20101028 - 21:16 (UTC)

Get used to things "not looking quite right". Alignment is one of those things that will rarely match up perfectly with found imaging. In this case, it's pretty close. Closer than your discomfitingly lopsided eyebrows, but that can't be helped here. That's between you and your forehead. But I digress. It's the lichen that stick out. Or, in this case, don't. It's not reaching in to my heart and pulling "lichen", y'know? Also, why lichen? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 06:37, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Silly imaging. Foo.

The lichen was just... because... well, why not? Okay, terrible reason, but how do you think the lichen could be made to stand out more, actually definitely be lichen? It's important to me. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) (stalk) -- 20101029 - 13:45 (UTC)

I dunno. Maybe try bigger or denser lichen...lichens...lichi. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:26, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Bigger or... er... hmm. *wanders off* Thanks, I think. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) (stalk) -- 20101029 - 17:39 (UTC)

Since I don't know why the pan has lichen on it, my lichen or lichen-to-pan related 'chopping advice, by definition, will be limited. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:01, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

It is better, than before. I don't think lichen, I think, "stuff fried for so long it evaporated and is permanently burned to the surface." Which, I, think is better anyway-- lets the imagination run wild.

Greetings fellow choppers if anyone is still watching this page that is. I made this pic to help a dodgy article get saved from VFD but I'm not entirely happy with it.

Slide "Abe Vigoda" to the left a fraction. Italics make it look farther to the right than it is. Maybe think about replacing the rose-shot-with-a-bullet with, say, a dead or black rose (it took a while to see what the pic was supposed to be, while a more gothic image is simpler). Also, consider spelling "mortality" the...conventional...way. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:17, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe even just a B&W filter would do wonders for making the image look deathly. Just a thought. Sir MacMania GUN—[02:20 23 Jul 2010]

Yes the image does lose something in the scale. also i thought of the whole b/w thing but look at the stuff for life its all about the HD. picked the rose because of the color. But yes the bullet is sort of hidden. Lordarcadian 02:32, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Modus. The rose-shot-with-bullet really doesn't do it for me and I don't really understand why it's upside down. Skulls are a universal symbol of death. Perhaps a cattle skull, those are cool. Or maybe something dead. With maggots and flies on it. Because if this were a real show it would primarily be about dead animals I assume. Also I thought the fact that Abe Vigoda was the narrator to be funny; that part could be a bit bigger. -- The Zombiebaron 05:01, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

• Kurt had had enough of his toothache, and he decided to do something about it.
• "LOL, we tricked Kurt into shooting himself... Oh no, he's shooting himself!"

I came up with all of these captions; I didn't plagarise! Please tell me how I can make this picture as funny as possible.

Too many people. Try less. I hope that makes sense. It just looks cluttered for a campaign poster. That they're out-of scale (with yokel being both bigger and farther away than beerdouche) and use a mix of formats (B&W and colour) doesn't help. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:46, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

As Modus said, the people are too cluttered and random, the white trash chaps don't really fit in and poor Edward is way too dark especially in front of the Union Jack. I would pick one or two of the major extremists and look for images of them that have a 'campaign poster vibe' and which look good together. The scale and colouring should then also be adjusted to match. --^Dame 00:42, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Brilliant -do not change a thing -the heads fit around the letters well and as a mock straight BNP poster the mix of colour and scale and slight scruffiness sets the perfect tone.-- ⦿⨦⨀ Phrage (talk) 14:22, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

The water is blue and blurry, yet the lumberjacks are red and not. Plus they're standing up underwater, which is just silly. And they're identical triplets, which I'm pretty sure doesn't happen. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:54, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Well, if you wanted realism, why not point out that there was no such thing as the Tragic Lumberjack Drownings of Ought Nine? Will try to blur up the lumberjacks tho. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Tuesday, 05:14, Oct 27 2009

I was there, man, and they looked like they were underwater. Which they were. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:25, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

I'm kind of wary of using blur, actually. Is there a different tool you would suggest using to achieve that rarefied "underwater" look I'm so desperately craving? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Tuesday, 06:10, Oct 27 2009

Photoshop might have an effect of some sort that simulates it. Alternately, use the water that's "behind" the lumberjacks, paste it as a layer "in front" of them, then fiddle with it. Sorry if I got too technical there. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 06:46, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Will do tomorrow (it's 1 am here). Thanks MO. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Tuesday, 06:50, Oct 27 2009

OK, I blurred the outer edges of the lumberjacks. Is that what you were talking about? I also think the color contrast between the lumberjacks and the water is off a bit. How would I fix that? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Tuesday, 23:35, Oct 27 2009

Take the water behind them, copy it as a new layer and put it in front of them. Then play with that layers transparency, or mess with the lumberjacks' colour balance, or put a layer in front of them, make it blue, then play with its transparency.

And the lumberjacks need to be blurry or distorted (with each on being a little moreso than the "closer" to you). They look like they're just sitting on top, rather than in, the water. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:19, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I transparentized (or transparentised, really, I don't care) the lumberjacks, used the "wave" option in the "Distort" menu (I'm using PSE 2) to "wobble" them, and used the burn tool to darken the lumberjacks some more. Did I do good/anything else? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Wednesday, 03:52, Oct 28 2009

Much better. They could use bubbles (who couldn't?), if you can do it without it looking dumb. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:05, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Please Help this Picture Electric bagpiperists are notorious for their wild on-stage antics. Image credit: Necropaxx Nominate - discuss this image

Well MO, I made this for my newest article that I might as well plug now and I'm wondering if you think 'tis funny enough for VFP. Thanks. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 05:43, Sep 7

He needs to cast a shadow on the speakers (and the bagpipes need to cast a shadow on him. Try duplicating the pipes, lean them over a bit, then make that the base for the shadow, if that makes any sense at all), play with the brightness/contrast of the speakers to match the rest of the pic (they're a bit bright), the kilt is too obviously mirrored (real things rarely end up exactly the same on both sides. See how one of your balls is bigger than the other? Everyone else noticed, but they were too polite to say anything, so the sad duty fell to me), he doesn't actually appear to be playing the bagpipes (one arm squeezes the bag while the other holds the note-thingy, right? So, perhaps a pic of someone playing a guitar would work better), and I don't give nods as to the odds on VFP (because I have no idea what other people will like. This is because they're all stupid and they smell and I hate them! Ooo! I hate them so much!) Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 06:44, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I can't do all that much because I forgot to save it as a .PSD (stupid Necropaxx! Stupid stupid sputid!) but I lowered the contrast on the speakers to -20 and tried adding some bagpipe shadow. I don't know what you mean by add some shadow to the speakers (they're black anyway, so what's the difference?). I can't do anything really about the kilt. Anyway, how do you feel about the concept/joke thing? Zany enough? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 07:07, Sep 7

So you brought a pic to reefer desk that you can't really change? Have you gone mad?

The not-black part of the speakers can have his shadow. See on the left how his shadow gets to the speaker then just stops?

It is zany. I've never been a fan of zany. Too zany. I prefer madcap. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 13:01, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I darkened the bottom orange part. Is that what you meant? Also: Madcap is good. Zany is better. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 18:36, Sep 7

Better. Oh, and I just noticed that the bagpipe's "black" isn't as black as the black in the rest of the image (it's also got whitish and jaggy edges). Of course, since you only have the image saved as a single layer, there is nothing you can do about that latter bit. Nothing! Moo ha-ha! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Can I make it betterer...? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 19:40, Sep 7

Yes. The bagpipe is still too bright (see how its tartan pattern looks faded compared to the kilt, and the dark parts of its drones aren't nearly as dark as the dark bits of the rest of the pic?) Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 19:43, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

The bagpipe or the kilt is too bright? Which one, 'cause to me it looks as though the kilt is brighter. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 19:48, Sep 7

The colours on the kilt are richer, but the brightness on his bag (*giggle*) is, um, brighter. That's what I meant by "faded". Darkening the entire bagpipe would've cleared that up. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:11, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I darkened the drones too. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 19:53, Sep 7

Yes. The amps are mirrored, but if you look at an amp and another identical amp, the only difference is their sameness (copy the face of the one that's right way around over the other one. You'll probably have to warp it a bit to put it back in perspective). And the file size is insane. Try uploading one that's 600px or so, to avoid clogging the tubes of the internet.

At the top of the pipes there are some pieces that used to be white but are transparent now. That wire that's coming from the speaker on the right looks, and obviously is, drawn on. I don't think you need it. The part of the kilt between the legs looks weird. I can see you did some special effects with it, but the result is that this red and yellow line at the bottom appears to disappear in some invisible dimension. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 13:48, 9 September 2009

At first I thought it was cheese. Hmm, I have the mental image of potatoes being all dark and dusty with spots and bits sprouting out - maybe make the domes a bit less geometrically correct by using the top half of some really out of shape unpeeled potatoes. Also, try having some full potatoes skewered on top of the spires for extra potatoeyness. Alternative: make the turrets crinkle cut crisps! Just a few suggestions, it's coming along pretty nicely. -- Hindleyite Converse • ?pedia 21:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I got cheese from the spires as well. It might just be that I need to get a new potato or two for this one. And thanks for the suggestions. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 17:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, you might consider changing the whole building into brownish yellowish colors. If you want to make the potatoishness more obvious, you could change the dome to more accurately show the image of an authentic potato. You don't have to limit yourself to the boundaries of the real building, for instance the dome could reach higher and be slightly irregular. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 13:37, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid I too am not feeling the essence of potato. And at first glance I also thought it was cheese. Perhaps if you use an actual potato for the roof. Everything is too smooth and sculpted, potatoes are... not. The others have pretty much covered it. Find your inner potato. --^Dame 13:35, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

lahlz @ "white at last". Jacko's got an uneven grayish halo around him, though, especially 'round the face area. The black could use a bit of touchup too, there's like bits of something else there, something mysterious and purple. Also, the bottom of the face doesn't blend quite as well as the top. The light comes from below Jacko (as best I can tell; I guess light properties work differently on ghosts) so I think the top-right of his face needs a little more gray. In general... I think it needs a bit of touchup around boundaries, both light boundaries and the boundaries between the ghost itself and the black background. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 19:42 Jun 28, 2009

Thanks Dr S. With your comments and those on IRC, I've given him a whole new face, the possibly looks more like him. (And tidyed up a bit) -- sannse (talk) 10:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

This face is definitely much better, you couldn't really see that it was MJ in the previous one. The contrast between the shadow on the left side of his face still needs a bit of work. It goes from light to shadow too quickly if you get what I mean. If you fade it a bit more gradually to make that side look a bit rounder it will be perfect. --^Dame 10:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I made this for Sycamore's article on Propaganda. Would appreciate any constructive criticism and opinions on whether is has feature potential. I'm worried that it may be a bit texty O_O the horror! --^Dame 21:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

If possible, you're better off starting with a pic of him looking off in the direction you want, rather than warping a pic to make it look like he's at the right angle (unless he's just lumpy. Normally, he turns off the light when we snuggle. I've said too much). Warped pics tend to look, um, warped. Sorry if I got technical there. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 21:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I love it when you talk technical to me Modus =P I have been a bit heavy on the warp tool lately, as you mentioned before, I still have to fix Kermit. Thanx, I'll get to it then. --^Dame 21:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The problem with warp is that your brain thinks in 3D, but the pics are just 2D representations of 3D objects, so warping them never quite looks right. It's a tool of last resort. On a side note, I was in Tool of Last Resort. It was a buddy comedy with Dane Cook. I played a well-meaning but naive employee at a rundown hotel. He was the tool. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 21:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

My brain barely manages thoughts in 2 1/2D. Anyway, I fixed the warp, but I have this recurring problem when I re-upload stuff. The new file doesnt seem to show. Is this merely because I am impatient? Or is it something more sinister? --^Dame 22:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't show the new version here yet, but it does show it there. It's better. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Now that you mention it Modus, he does... Alas, my unskilled use of the perspective tool. I'll try to fix it. I'm worried that I may not be able to accomplish the bin feat without ruining it but I'll try. If I can't, can we pretend there is a bin just out of frame? --^Dame 14:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Please Help this Picture It's a Conspiracy! Image credit: ScottBurnan Nominate - discuss this image

9/11 - Worms Style! --ScottBurnan 17:29, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Start with a different pic of the Twin Towers (there are a few iconic, instantly recognizable ones around). Then add enough worms, rockets, etc, to make it also instantly recognizable as Worms. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 17:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Modus, use a pic in which the towers are clearer and use more characters from the worms games in it. I'm sure there was a worm with a turban somewhere. And the worms characters will have to be higher resolution cause the current solitary worm is very blurry. You will need a lot of detail to make the joke worthwhile. --^Dame 19:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

The possibilities are endless with the PS3. Just don't forget to use a USB keyboard. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 23:15, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I L♥VE the basic concept, not so much for the execution in my opinion. I think it needs to feel more like the cover of Dead Space if you know what I mean. And those "screenshots" on the back are so overused, I would try something completely original. I don't know if you are trying for a text adventure or a high-graphic survival game, but that needs to be better defined. Like I said, it would be better if their was less recycling.

I'm so wrong. -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 06:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be based on a crossing sign, rather than a yield sign? (bonus, the swastika will fit better). It should probably be either that or the picto-people, and if just the people, they should be goose-stepping and nazi-saluting. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 06:45, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

The swastika and the people kinda cancell one another out cause they are both black. Maybe mae the swastika a dark grey if you want both. And PNG format will make it clearer. --^Dame 22:35, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't the people be white? --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent 14:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

If not goose-stepping and nazi-saluting, how about a silhouette of a panzer tank? The caption could indicate that the signs are were commonly found on roads across Belgium. Rljenk 21:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that part. No, I think the puddle of water and the semi-melted logo is enough. I was referring to the text. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 17:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Experiment with the text's colour. Red is good ('cause it's hot, and melty), but blue might work better, as it's the water colour. Just an idea. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Colour racism is a crime. I did both, and now it can give you a headache- just what I wanted! :) How does it look now? Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 22:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Generally, when you say "and now it can give you a headache", it's bad. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, but if it's supposed to be annoying, would you not agree headaches are annoying? Besides, it's not that bad. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 23:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

You need to do a slight blur along the edges of the logo on the ice cube, so that it looks more like it's part of the ice cube. And maybe raise it a bit so that the "UN" is not on the crack. --^Dame 22:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Done... I think... Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 22:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about the red in the text. maybe replace the red with a light blue or grey. The red is too intense and it doesn't feature anywhere in the rest of the pic. --^Dame 23:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I doubt MS Paint could do a good tunneling effect. As for getting the joke, it's a play on this internet meme. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 22:24, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

It might work better for Hinduism (y'know, reincarnation). And you can afford Photoshop. My $200 Wacom came with a copy (and it came with a shitty mouse that I never, ever use). Ask Santa for one (tell him he can keep the mouse). Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I said you, "you" being the people who made this an internet meme, can't afford one, and instead try to get away with captioning. I know, confusing. Give it a minute. It'll sink in eventually.

If it's an Australian bill, shouldn't it...oh, I don't know, be based on an Australian bill?

Being a foreigner, I'm not too familiar with American currency (although I did find a US quarter mixed in with my change once. They interviewed me on the news and everything!), but why is the typeface for the two "1,000,000,000,000"s on the top different than for the one on the bottom?

Lose "goa tse". That joke is only funny in an alternate universe where things are the opposite of what they are here. The Earth is a cube there, I hear. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 07:52, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

(The creator of the original image depicting a regular $1,000,000,000-bill would like to note that on a regular $100 bill, the top two denominations are large and bold, meanwhile, the bottom is far thinner and of a noticably diffrent font, therefore, the original creator replicated this to the best of his abilities.)

1. Yellow on Space Ghost's power bands should look more like buttons. 2. Space Ghost's outfit should be whiter with darker shadowing, more rubbery, more photorealistic. 3. Cape should be more rubbery and photorealistic. 4. Space Ghost logo on chest should look rubbery, such as Batman's logo emblem on his chest in the Tim Burton/Keaton movies. 5.
