Ben, as far as I know only the site owner can delete an entry. What you can do is to edit your entry, delete all the stuff you want hidden, and add the word "deleted" or something like that. |

Re: Challenge 949: Drunch bears
Lots of fun stuff again this week. I created this many years ago. The wood blocks are created entirely in Photoshop, the bear and cup are photographed. So, although it's not a proper entry, it's certainly relevant as it contains a little bit of history. The first teddy bear was created in 1902 after Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear on a hunting trip. This became the subject of a political cartoon and from this the toy was born in 1902 in the USA by the Michton company and a year or two later in Germany by Steiff. My father was born in 1904 and this was his as a baby so it is a very early example. He's about 25cm (10") tall. He's not very soft and cuddly as he is stuffed with sawdust. His arms and legs are rigid but rotate where they join the body. In the late 'thirties he passed to my older sister and our grandmother made his little pyjamas at this time. He later passed to me and I have him to this day. By the time my children were born he was over eighty years old and we were worried that he might be getting too valuable to be a childish plaything any longer so I am afraid they did not have the enjoyment of playing with him. In point of fact it later turned out that he has been a bit too loved and repaired to be in the kind of condition required to make him a real collectors piece. So he is still in my possession. Although his exact age is not known, he is definitely close to a hundred and twenty. I think he is really cute!  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Loyd you must have gone to some trouble to get that old buggy right (better than mine) as you have put spinning far-side wheels in too. any way, great work al l around. 
Nice work everybody! Since the well-known Photoshop illustrator is going through his "soft toy" phase, I'm having difficulty using his original material.

Re: Challenge 949: Drunch bears
Michael, I really hadn't planed to use your car, but the doorway of the cabin called our for it. I made a new wheel from scratch for the car, animated it for rotation and then used it on four separate layers for each of the required four wheels... |

I thought I was finished for the week when this bit of silliness popped into my head today and the temptation was overwhelming...

Re: Challenge 949: Drunch bears
David, that's a lovely story about your father's teddy bear. He looks weathered but loved. It reminds me of a Simpson's episode http://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Bobo I didn't expect to see them on a quad bike, Loyd! That's hilarious. http://vimeo.com/814224316  _________________ Dorothy: "there's no place like home!" |

Yes well my history is a little less complicated than that but it does make you wonder what hidden histories may exist in things we acquire or inherit. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 949: Drunch bears
First to take on the bears this week was lwc, with a rather racy Goldilocks clearly entertaining Mama and Papa bear. Not sure dangling Baby bear by its neck is approved childminding procedure, though. This moose is, as you say, appropriate. And good to see Michael Sinclair’s car in the second entry, complete with new spinning wheels. And has Goldilocks been hitting the monkey glands? She seems to have de-aged. Bears-R-Us looks like a sad fate for unwanted teddies in the third entry – are those circling vultures? An entertaining fourth entry, although there’s a curious sliding shuffle on that passing bear. I like how it disappears behind the trees, though, even if it does seem to vanish rather abruptly. Is the fifth entry more than you can bear? Oh, apparently not – there’s a sixth entry, with a really sad-looking bear left all alone. Quite moving. A couple of drunken bears from DavidMac, the array of empty glasses explaining their ursine excess. Are they wearing German hats, though? Or is that Watford FC? Their slouch makes much more sense now. A well-crafted second entry, with its triple beds, and its “obscene old woman”. At least you didn’t put my face on her. I enjoyed the story and image from your father’s Steiff. An out of character entry from Mariner, who I assumed would remove the bears and rebuild the cafe. Instead, he’s followed the football theme set by DavidMac, and shown remarkable restraint in his punnage. Aha – there we go, in the second entry. And what an extraordinary rebuild: not only shuttering the cafe, but replacing the entire street. And adding the, er, Chinese embassy. Cor. A prize every time from Ant Snell, with a fine fairground view. I like the way the bear’s legs hug the child, although the shadow may be a bit too strong and regular. The tear on the face of the other bear is priceless. I laughed out loud at Frank’s entry, with a distinctly bossy Goldilocks and some truly disreputable bears. Beautifully done, Frank – the detail of the tongue is exceptional. And the second entry makes a very fine follow-up! I enjoyed Ben Boardman’s woodland entry, and the especially impressive way the bear on the left has been turned around to face the other way, and the middle bear constructed from the same base. Excellent. I think GKB's entry is the first time I’ve seen gingham text. A touch of smudging of the grass needed over the edges of the picnic rug, perhaps? Otherwise it seems to be floating. I was really hoping you wouldn’t play that song in the animated version – but the check bear with its good walking motion does make up for it. I like the addition of Paddington here, and the flashing neon sign. Oh, and of course the balloon that floats away. An interesting bear walk from michael sinclair, but I’m not sure what to make of it. It appears to be a GIF crafted from a video, but why the curious join between the top and bottom halves of the bear? A fun second entry, but don’t you think it was even worth trying to use the starting image? The bear as a claw machine prize? Why not, thinks tooquilos. And it’s certainly very neatly encased in that machine. The disappointment and frustration we all feel with such machines is neatly explored in the animated version. Not entirely sure about the live action people at the end. |

Re: Challenge 949: Drunch bears
Thanks Steve I had fun with this one. As for the football colours I thought, if was to blame drunken behaviour on anyone, that self mockery was best. They are befuddled, blotto, blitzed, boozed, bevvied, bladdered, Belgian bears. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
