Gabe was foolhardy enough to post these to the General Discussion forum earlier.

Make him regret it.

Please use bits of the above images to make an image. If the resulting picture is unpleasant for Gabe, all the better. If you find that the above pictures are not inspiring enough, you can use other pics of Gabe if you wish. Anything else you wish to use in your pic[s] is just fine by me.

Oh, and please don't post any old ones. Well, post old ones if you like, but they will not be considered valid entries and will not be in the runnin to win this contest. Judging will occur approximately 54 hours from this message (two days, plus about six hours because I'm not usually on in the late afternoon, unlike today).

Go ahead - spoil Gabe's day.

PS. Special rule for Gabe: If you want to do a pic that does not depict yourself in an unpleasant situation, that's cool. You are free to do as you wish, as long as it has you in there somewhere.

For those of you who haven't found it yet, Google's Image search is an invaluable resource for photo editing sessions. That is how I found both the young Michael Jackson face in the previous contest, and the older face for the "mask" (the face in the original pic had too many shadows on it to be useful).

If you lose the link, just remember that you go to http://www.google.com/ and click on Images up the top. Simple.

Or just go to:

images.google.com

If I could use it then my entry would be using his "credit card" falling in his head and slicing it somehow, wouldn't mind someone clever throwing that up for me if they want.

"FIRE!"

Just to bring it over from the other thread. This is rich material - I'll get to another later.

I spent the better part of half an hour this evening trying to find suitable pics from the old TV series Land of the Giants to stick Mr Billings into, but I just couldn't find anything from the right angle.

*sigh*

I wish I could find the over-the-shoulder shot I was looking for - and had more time to work shadows and masks.

Hey Hey... First entry into any SC competition.
*cheers loudly*
Umm... not fully sure how to work this...

and if that doesn't work just go to http://mids.student.utwente.nl/~tool/gaborcist.jpg

Yeah... and if you don't know what the original background pic is, you are a philestine.

^TooL^

Shit, guys, you're making it hard for me to judge, and we're only halfway through the alloted time.

man, some of these photoshopped images would make excellent caption fodder

"it was the best day of out lives"

Ha ha ha!

Ohrighty, judging will be in about eight hours. I'm currently stumped - so many good ones, I can't pick a winner yet. If you have any ideas you are considering, do them really soon.

yeah, i've got an idea DexX...
Your birthday is coming up very soon, and if you want a good present, you'd do well to declare me the winner.
lol :)

^TooL^

The first banner ad.

Dang. No matter how many times I click on it, I can't punch that damn bald-headed monkey.

(Nice job, though, Sir Spanks)

It makes my pupils clank together.

Nooooo! I can't decide! You are all too bloody funny!

Okay, since I can't simply pick the strip I like best, I am going to do it by the book - three marks from 1-5 will be given to each strip, for edit-quality, originality, and hilarity. The winner will be the one with the highest score out of fifteen. Okay, let's play... Note that titles are my own...

itsclark - Gift from the Sky
quality[3] - - originality[5] - - hilarity[4] - - total [12]

itsclark - RoboSuck
quality[3] - - originality[4] - - hilarity[3] - - total [10]

TheElPaso - Vengeance, thy name is goatse.cx
quality[2] - - originality[3] - - hilarity[2] - - total [08]

Spankling - New Toy (oh wey oh)
quality[4] - - originality[4] - - hilarity[3] - - total [11]

Kajun Firefly - I Knew the Bride When She Sucked
quality[5] - - originality[3] - - hilarity[5] - - total [13]

^TooL^ - The Sucksorcist
quality[2] - - originality[4] - - hilarity[3] - - total [09]

Skabby Firefly - Still Life With Birthday Greeting, Bowling Pins, and Cake
quality[1] - - originality[5] - - hilarity[1] - - total [07]

skagg - Catch of the Day
quality[3] - - originality[5] - - hilarity[4] - - total [12]

skagg - Cutting the Cake... Wedding or Bris?
quality[3] - - originality[4] - - hilarity[4] - - total [11]

Spankling - Punch the Monkey!
quality[4] - - originality[5] - - hilarity[4] - - total [13]

...which makes it a tie between Kajun Firefly and Spankling, both of whom submitted brilliant pictures. I honestly can't decide which I like best, so I am going to lean toward giving it to the one who has not had a turn yet - congratulations Kajun Firefly.

Well done, everyone who entered. I hated to be so formal about the judging, but the field was so excellent, I simply couldn't decide. The possible exception is Skabby_Firefly... uh, sorry, I don't get it. Care to explain?

Oops, I defied convention and forgot to repost the winning pic. Here is the happy couple again for your viewing pleasure...

That is beautifully done. *laugh* A worthy winner, Kajun. :)

VICTORY IS MINE!!

Thanks DexX, I was worried that Wirthling's glowing face would lose me points, it was impossible to get a matching skin colour, plus I was rushing to get it finished before someone else posted the joke.

A new contest will begin when I've finished work, so, in about 4 or 5 hours!

That is a winner all right! A much tougher edit and hilarious.

Nicely done K-Fly!

... hey! No rating for "FIRE!"? I know it wouldn't win, but I want my 6 points!

No way, man. The face looks great (especially considering what you had to work with).

---

It looks like his neck snaped if you look closely.

But it's fine overall.

I just want you all to know that you made my wife cry.

I hope you're happy.

Bastards.

DexX.. i don't think i deserved a whole 2 points for quality of photoshop-work...
It took me about 5mins, and i didn't do shit :)
I'm hoping to one day be able to win a competition on originality and hilarity alone.
With a quality score of 0 or lower :)

^TooL^

Spanks - The rules clearly state "nothing old". "FIRE!" was made before I wrote the rules, hence it was old. Don't worry, though - you can take the credit for inspiring the contest in the first place. I don't know if you actually did, but you may have.

What are you all doing still posting in here? Go and take part in my contest, it's looking pretty lame over there!

This Wirthling woman that this Gabe fellow married is quite unattractive. She would be much more attractive in a burqua.

Meus cheiros do scrotum gostam de sapatas velhas. Beije-o por favor.

All praise me.

For a second, I thought it said "punk the monkey."
