Connie's Ramblings

I’ve missed the past 4 battles due to various other activities… So today I decided to combine the images from Battles 111-115 all into one image which I’ve named “The Blue Fuzz Twins”…

The Blue Fuzz Twins are so happy that their parents got rid of that old junky car in their backyard… now they can sit at the table (w/ the odd spedometer tablecloth), eat grapes and try to figure out how to get their kite out of the palm tree…

I’ve been a NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) member for many years now… one of the most fun aspects of NAPP are their forums and the various photoshop battles that take place…

One of the ongoing battles is the “Randomizer”…

Here is the general idea…

1. We take turns going to sxc.hu, clicking Randomizer, grabbing the first random image that pops up without restrictions, and the next person in order has to add the new random image to the previous person’s image.
2. Create whatever you want based on the random image using at least part of the previous person’s image.
3. Upload JPG to the board and send PSD to opponent.
4. The next opponent goes to sxc.hu to get next random image to incorporate into the images and posts that link to the board.
5. Rinse, repeat as necessary.
6. No time limit. No themes. No holds barred.
7. The usual Battle Ground Rules apply. (this is in regards to copyright etc..)

To see the MANY battle images visit the NAPP Randomizer Battle page… or better yet, join NAPP!

My turn just recently came up again… below is the previous image, the random image served to me and my new image. Click on them for larger images.

Here is this weeks starting image:

Loved the smile on the childs face while out playing outside and wanted to do something about getting kids outside to play and off the tv’s and electronic games. Conviently it turns out that International Turn off Your TV Week is coming up April 21-27..

So here is mine..

Two NAPP Battles in the same day. I finished this one up last night. Here is the starting image…

Wasn’t terribly inspired with this one but this is what I came up with…
