Official Che-lives photoshop contest

[Exploited Class]

Okay this is for a custom title on the board this week.

The description is "Socialists leaders in capitalist situations"

It would fit nicely in the category, "Humor".

We already had one entry for a good example.

Multiple entries are welcomed. These will appear on the main page of che-lives. YOU WILL BE FAMOUS ON THE INTERNET!

Please post images, questions, image help questions here.

Entries should be no later than March 27th 2004, I don't know what the specs are yet on size, I will post those in here in a bit.

I've got to go now and try to beat Ortega...

[(*]

I'm going to do something else also. Maybe one where the size of the people match a little more :lol:

[(*]

I'll try some more tomorrow :P

[commie kg]

How do you crop that stuff in there so perfect? I always have these big ugly borders around my little additions that I can't make go away.

[(*]

Whatever you crop would be on a different layer than the background image. After you position your cropped image, you can use the erase tool to clean it up (it will erase the excess from the cropped image, and the background image will appear in its place).

Does that make any sense, I'm not sure how to better explain it. Basically, it has to do with layers, and masking I think.

*Edit* I also zoom in close to get rid of stuff.

There might be a better way, but I'm still an amateur

[(*]

I'm not too happy with this one. I originally wanted to take the "famous" pic of Che and replace the beret with a nike cap. However, I couldn't find the right pics.

[BuyOurEverything]

Hey nice fidel condoms one there (*

Fuck, I was on a lot of drugs when I did this

edit: fixed up a bit, will do more later

Thanks. I'll try that.

I really just have horrible motor skills, and erasing it that perfectly with a mouse is challenging for me.

[commie kg]

I'm not expecting to win here... I absolutely suck at this.

[SittingBull47]

the first one i like the best so far

[Xvall]

This message has been endorsed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I like Drake's better. :lol:
Sorry, ortega.

[commieboy]

in no way better than the others....but i had to try

sorry the colors fucked up

[canikickit]

Very impressive Drake.

[commieboy]

okay....i spent more than five minutes on this one....its gotta be good.


this is my first time doing this too...

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I like Trotsky better than Fidel

[commieboy]

what ever floats your boat man

[FatFreeMilk]

Lenscrafters :lol: .
The first one is hard to beat.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I like Drake's the most, I just don't understand why he puy only Tussin in large red letters instead of the entire name.

It floated my boat.

Can we say, sails up and ready to go?

[commie kg]

Drake is a genius. My Stalin in the Mercedes idea pales in comparison.

[commie kg]

Ho Chi Minh: The Marlboro Man

[commie kg]

Don't be like the Chairman, halt hair loss before it starts. Rogaine.

...

[Danton]

My excuse is I only got photoshop on saturday... It's fun..

"Joe & Mick were constantly at each others throats, so much so that Joe replaced Mick on the Carribean leg of their world tour with a mysterious guitarist known only as "El"

[Zanzibar]

lol

[commieboy]

another ghetto paint picture.....fails in comparison to drakes...

[Ortega]

Noo! Not Drake!

I think I'll just surrender right now.

[Droes lee]

here's a sabotage of the Cia that never came into the news....
they changed el che's sigars with exploding cigars.....

[Droes lee]

ah damn the photo wasn't in the post....

[Exploited Class]

Little something I did.

[Xvall]

I actually like ortega's better than mine, as I thought it was more humorous and creative. These are all good. Keep em' coming!

[RedCeltic]

ok... I have like 0% experience doing this... and obviously like 0% talent... but I thought this would be funny...

[RedCeltic]

Here's another try.. haha... This is Kathleen CLeaver of the Black Pather Party doing a Coca Cola ad.

[SittingBull47]

exploited class had a good one. I like the mini Marx.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I like Ortega's SUBWAY, Drake's Robitussin, (*'s Charmin, and Danton's The Clash best.
I think Drake takes it, but it was a really close call for me.

[Xvall]

Quick. Someone make an ad with Trostky holding a pickaxe.

[(*]

My apologies...to the chan chan man.
There is a new friend on tha block!

[canikickit]

hahaha, I like your's a lot RedCeltic. Nice one.

I want someone to do the picture (* used and replace all six heads and change the heading to "Communists", but in the same writing.

[(*]

Here is a sneak peek at the upcoming TV lineup from NBC...

FIDEL-FELD

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Nice, (*, very nice! :lol:

[FatFreeMilk]

:lol: that last one is brilliant!

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

FFM, who is the ugly-ass dude on your avatar?

[Exploited Class]

Oh man, after the black panthers sponsoring coke, Sienfeld being replaced with Fidel, I am literally crying with laughter.

I had to wait and wipe my eyes before typing this.

Rushed this a bit, can't find any color photos of Che and Ho. Instead of adding female socialists, I thought I'd just keep 3 males, plus the original friends girls. I have a thing for Jennifer, can't cut her out of the picture :P:

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

How did you do that font, it looks...... great. :unsure:

Ho looks like he's really sipping that!
LOL

[SittingBull47]

you mean he's not? (':0')

that's a really good pic, that last one.

I did it myself...not.

I found the font online. Credit should go to this (http://www.geocities.com/friendstvlovers6/friendsfont.html) dudes site

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Well, actualy itsn't (it is not) so bad now that I see the font of the original FRIENDS thing. Kind of ugly font, really.
Good job, though.
I still love the Ho.

[Rastafari]

I had one based on a dirty pun (The Average Che-Liver), but it involved using that disgusting image (in that it makes me very sad) of Che spread out on the table, so I scrapped it.

I feel so fucking dirty even talking about it.

[Danton]

Let's not speak of this again..

[Danton]

Photoshop is too much fun..

[Danton]

Again my enthusiasm is'nt quite matched by my aptitude..

[Danton]

They're all too big sorry..

[SittingBull47]

haha, the Che mate ones are the best in my opinion. Well done :lol:

[Danton]

Cheers man, I still think Drakes & Exploited's are the most proffessional but they should be barred for .. I dunno, being too good at it :lol:

[FatFreeMilk]

FFM, who is the ugly-ass dude on your avatar?
:lol: Hello it's Amadeo Avogadro, you know the guy that came up with the mole. (6.02x10 to the 23rd).
He was a very important man you know.
Not to mention one sexy beast ;)

[dopediana]

i hate moles! i want to kill that guy, erika, i really really do.

[FatFreeMilk]

moles are the bombay! What are you talkin bout?!
Well, I guess you'll be happy to hear that amadeo died a long time ago.

[(*]

Did everyone forget about this thread ? :lol:
How do we go about voting for a winner?

[Guest1]

Woops... uhh... I meant to say... congrats Drake! :P

Seems that EC has already gone off and picked one on her own. Congratulations, Drake!

[Individual]

This one really has no overall significance. Though it was my first try, and came across this picture on Yahoo. Nothing against Hawking himself, hell he was a genius in AstroPhysics. Just look past the fact that it is Stephen Hawking. ;)

[BuyOurEverything]

Congrats Drake, nice job.

Anways, I was bored so I did this.

[(*]

That's really good. Nice touch with the arm patch :cool:

I'd join :lol:

[Individual]

Ok, so here is my second attempt...

[(*]

Nice work :cool:

[SittingBull47]

indeed. nice touch with the swastika helmets.

[Individual]

Yes, I am exploiting myself twice. :P

Leftist advertisements we would all like to see:

[Individual]

So what happened the the contest?

Guess that means I win! :P

Drake won, but isn't it bi-weekly? As in every other week?

[BuyOurEverything]

Thank (*!

Anyways, I guess we should pick a new topic

[Individual]

Though I'd drag this up with all of the newer (more picture inclined) members. :P

Even without the contest, I thought this was a great idea.

Anyone willing to come up with some good propoganda/funny political et cetera pictures?

:)

[gaf]

my contribution to this topic

[Individual]

That is very good!

When is it coming out? Should I expect it in theaters this summer? :)

[rahul]

hows it?
