Poor old bird, looks like gramps needs a good old fashioned arse whoopin'

If does she think of it as a secret wish of her lovely son-in-law?...

great effort! but it looks a little fake. if it were more realistic i would be 100%

Maybe it's because I didn't use any special brush for blood, I did it myself. I also think something is lacking, but I don't know what it's... anybody help!

Don´t have so much bewel/emboss. Put some opacity on the blood.

He looks like he put iodine on skin, it's too yellow IMO because he has white-pink skin tone.

Erikuri. If you've ever had a shiner, you'd know that this is what it looks like after a few days...that's what I was going for. Thanks for your comments!
Jawsh, thanks for the image..thanks for the nice compliments. I didn't want to overdo it...just wanted to keep it as simple as possible. Like the title says...he asked for a shot...LOL

My entry will be removed because of the "not directed at any pxl member" rule. Thanks to all for the comments. Fact is that I didn't know that the pic was an image of a member until all was said and done. It's not like we all hang out together....what a drag! On the bright side, there are some very good chops out there so I probably wouldn't have won anyway. Thanks for the fav Jawsh!

Thanks for the kind words Jawsh...To think this was the only theme that attracted me...LOL. Maybe I have a real dark side ad don't even know it. Just so you know, your approval on this work means everything. After all, I did bust you up...LOL Thanks again!

switched source image...go to "source 2" for the kid's pic

just because you could does not mean you should, the attempt at making it look like a black eye looks more like an ink stained eye

Obviously Loyd, my photoshopping skills are not as good as yours. To be perfectly honest, I'm not in it for the money or the glory. I do it because I enjoy it and this is a good place to get ideas and practice. I also have been playing guitar for forty years but you probably do that better than I do also. Thanks for your comments and criticisms though. They are greatly appreciated!!!

There is no one in for the money or glory here author. I find your second choice for a subject/source to be in poor taste portraying a small child with a black like you have. No I have never had any desire to play a guitar.

Strange that you say that. You didn't like the first choice and you don't like the second choice. Too bad you don't see the humor in it. I hope you don't think that I condone this type of thing. You went as far (indirectly) to mention, in your comments of another disqualified image, about "how quickly your image has been pulled and yet others haven't been dealt with yet" or something to that effect. Do you think I don't know who that was directed at. I know you'll say that I'm paranoid because you are that predictable. But to be perfectly honest, I really don't care what you think. I just know that my instincts are usually right. And if you can prove that the comment was not directed at me, I will be glad to apologize publicly with the same intensity that I used to accuse you. Fair enough? In the meantime, I hope you have a nice life up there on your high horse. Just remember, the higher you rise, the greater the fall

Hey man This is not directed at you. The statement I made pertaining to other rule violations in the entry that ultimately got yanked had nothing to do with you. As a matter of fact the entry I was referring to is still posted, it is still in violation. As for the issue of taste well I personally find no humor in it what so ever. You just keep practicing and beware of comments posted because I am sure you will see more critique and not just from me. BTW welcome to the site have fun.

Well there was no reason to leave the comments for they no longer apply to this entry. It's a shame they couldn't just realize the only reason to impose that rule was not to offend anyone. This is, sadly is not as convincing as the first of me.

The color of the shiner is off, and I don't think a little kid with a black eye would be smiling.

wow! It's Sloth's sister I think you need to work on the perspectives of the eye and nose. Even the most violent of arse whoopins wouldn't make a person look physically retarded. GL!

LMAO

Maybe she got hit by a mac truck bumper..........."Jaws"........since this a photoshop contest and not photography, I'm fine with it.......besides
I'm trying to get familiar to CS5

Not convincing...

try the content aware for dissolving the light bulbs.. (its a BLAST.. and you could use the Puppet Warp to move the eye down a bit) it's a little tricky but OH SO MUCH FUN!!!.. good luck author (though I do know it feels like you are starting from scratch)... hehehe

Thanks for the tips Drivenslush......I did make a few changes

excellent.. boy do I understand learning the ropes on a new program.. I bought a drawing tablet and I finally got it hooked up.. and it still scares me to death LOL.. much improved author..

I like the bloodshot eye, but the cut on the lip could use a little work. Good job, though.

Getting hit by a Mack truck bumper works for me...in that case I can believe it...a cool addition might be to wrap her head like in a zombie wrap.

Hit by a truck? Only the face?

Everything else is clean, makes it not so convincing, but it´s better now than before the changes.

The rest of his face is way to clean to have been through a such loss.

If he got punched in the eye, the rest of his face wouldn't necessarily be messed up. Good job!
