Nostradamus - Photoshop Contest [8 entries]

Alchemy Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
68.8%
Contest goal:

Michel de Nostredame a.k.a Nostradamus was a French apothecary from the 16th century, but is best known for his book Les Propheties (The Prophecies). In this book he compiled his collection of major, long-term cryptical written predictions about all kinds of disasters that in the near or further future could happen. (wiki)

If these predictions were really accurate will be something that likely never can be proven. For this contest it doesn't matter though. Because what you have to do is pick one of these predictions and create your own interpretation of what's written. You don't have to illustrate how other people had understood the prediction (though feel free to do some research), but mostly to show your view.

Please write in the description which prophecy you chose. If you'd like to see all the prophecies, you can check this page. Good luck!

Sitting alone at night in secret study; 
it is placed on the brass tripod.
 A slight flame comes out of the emptiness and 
makes successful that which should not be believed in vain. (5 years and 2836 days ago)

Artist's impression of an illustration in Vaticinia Nostradami:

A monstruous king above a sea of flames. He wears the phrygian cap (1) and the ears of an ass. According to the interpretation of the prophecies: when the sanculottes(2) took power during the french revolution, Pius VI was taken prisoner.

(1)the Phrygian cap is sometimes called a liberty cap; in artistic representations it signifies freedom and the pursuit of liberty.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygian_cap)

(2)In the French Revolution, the sans-culottes were the radical partisans of the lower classes; (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-culottes)

In this weird entry I simply mix the images and use burn and dodge (5 years and 2838 days ago)

Louis Pasteur

The lost thing is discovered, hidden for many centuries.
Pasteur will be celebrated almost as a God-like figure.
This is when the moon completes her great cycle,
But by other rumors he shall be dishonored.

Like many surnames, Louis Pasteur's probably once indicated a profession.

Pasteur, in French, could also mean pastor, so some argue that this bit of Nostradamian prose could just be about any old priest. Others call it a shout-out to the man who studied microbial decay, brought you spoilage-resistant milk and found a vaccine for rabies.

No one doubts he deserved the props. You be the judge. (5 years and 2836 days ago)

The Book of Nostradamus, Century VII, v.14:
He will come to expose the false topography,
the urns of the tombs will be opened.
Sect and holy philosophy to thrive,
black for white and the new for the old.

"Beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers,
The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister.
~Nostradamus

Always thought this was one of the silliest of Nostradamus's predictions used to explain Hitler (missspelling of Hitler).

We even had a class mate align his predictions with his grandmother spanking him with a switch. LOL.
