All I'm saying (besides the picture) is that you basically showed no talent at all in your entry. Almost anyone can take a bunch of stocks, cut them out, rotate and resize them, and then make em fade out of something. I was hoping more from you. And I wouldn't be talking; your entry sucks anyways. It was completely boring and stupid. The items didn't go together either. I'm not sure what a piece of paper with a stick figure on it represents color in every sence.

No one cares whether he used stocks or not. (Other than you) I still think it's the nicest, it's clean, it's well done, it's colorful, and it's his interpretation of the theme. He can interpret the theme any way he likes. There is no need to be a jerk about it.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

All I said was that I was kinda disappointed with the entries so far. You guys are just getting really defensive. I'm gunu see if i can close this thread cuz obviously you guys can't be mature.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

No they aren't being defensive, and you're the one being immature, they're standing up for their images they worked hard on after you bashed them. If I said something bad about an image you created, you would do they same

I don't believe that's bashing. Of coarse I did say things more harshly as the argument went on, but I didn't want to start an argument. You guys started this. But whatever. I'm just going to be the mature one here and drop it.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Yes, please do.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

/Offtopic Wow. There were 666 posts now. That's kind of ironic because a fight just ended on the 666th post. mini/shifty

That whole discussion went too far though. I'm glad it's over. I think I'm going to start entering some of these soon, once a theme is chosen that I like.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

I'm going to try to come up with another entry. But I'm having trouble coming up with ideas.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Here is my colorful entry: a metro map.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mcoov/Random/map1.jpg
Here's some things about my map.
*The red line is missing its "C" branch because it closed down in the early '70's due to low ridership and a fatal accident.
*The orange line is a streetcar line, much like the MBTA's green line. There are dozens of other streetcar lines, but because the orange line operates underground near Metro Center, that's why it's on the map.
*Many of the stations' names are taken from the MBTA, and from the mansions in Newport, RI.
*For example, both Ochre Court, and Wakehurst are the names of mansions in Newport, and Belcourt Square is taken from Belcourt Castle.
*City Point, Brickbottom, Broadway, Silver Hill, and Kendell Ave. (in Cambridge, it's Kendell Sq.) are directly from the MBTA. Columbia Sq. was renamed JFK/UMass in the mid-80's.
*Metro Center is taken directly from the Washington Metro.
*The extension of the yellow line to Ford's Green is in the late stages of development, the building permits have been approved, and they're currently waiting for the TBM machine to arrive from S. Korea.

If you wish to use this map in one of your brickfilms, you are free to do so, as long as you credit me in the credits.

EDIT: I forgot to name the junction between the yellow and purple lines. It's Quebec Sq..

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Did you make that?

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Nice job, mcoov, so far you're the only one who has really done something creative.

@mcoov You must really like underground trains.
It looks very professional, did you make it in the Gimp?

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Indeed I did. All I used was the paintbrush and text tools.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Very cool mcoov
