They are difficult to see even when you know where they are... top rat wags his tail and the lower rat bobs his head.

Creative start this week, Gordon revolutionizing transport, David's juicer and vacuum cleaner would inspire Dyson, Loyd's garage image should be on every mechanic's wall, thank you David & Michael for your comments. |

it is a little known fact that, before he made the full-sized version, Professor Caractacus Potts made a smaller prototype called 'Chitty Chitty Pop Pop"  _________________  |

Re: Challenge 994: Pumping iron
Followed Loyds lead with a bit of steam punkery. No AI here unless you count Aged Intelligence of which there's quite a bit. I had a lot of fun doing it, but it was a lot harder than I anticipated for such a simple image. 
Loyd mentioned that he found his background on Google but suspected it was probably AI. I am not surprised. Steam punk seems to be a very popular subject. I did a search for Steam Punk woman, which I wanted for my rider. Such a search used to turn up photos of women at steam punk festivals and meets. Now it will turn up far, far more AI than photographs. In fact they are nigh on impossible to avoid. In the end I found what I wanted by searching for 'Victorian woman in long skirt riding horse'. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 994: Pumping iron
Yes I see that. I tried various ways to straighten it but none of them worked to my satisfaction. Then I had the brilliant idea of making a cup of tea with toasted crumpets ... that seemed to solve the problem

Toasted crumpets .............. one of the great British problem solvers that I really miss!  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

You're on a roll David, don't stop now! It's obvious that you spent more time than I did with the 'steampunk' version... well done! |

This is the last! Another one for the movie buffs. My apologies to Herr Lang.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 994: Pumping iron
I was really frustrated by this Ant. I kept looking at it over and over saying to myself "Come on David .... there's more to this than just a clever use of the image. It's so familiar. You know you recognise it but you just can't get there!" 
It took for ever for the penny to finally drop!  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Well well, David, haven't you been busy! Very good work, all of them. I only managed to do one. |

Re: Challenge 994: Pumping iron
Some weeks it works, some weeks it doesn't. The juicer was a lot of work and the steam punk more than I expected ..... the others were very quick and easy. Yours, as usual, has much more work hidden than is obvious at first glance. Is that Peter Brotherhood selling his wares? _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
