Subject: Mail Sack 21

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I would be asking for his.


It is the submission the mailsack deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

But, did you edit the holes out or was that just coincidence finding that picture? I can see the shape.

I overlayed the inkblot, turned down the opacity and blended it in a bit, nothing fancy.

I'm not sure whether you can win by submitting a slightly modified version of famous work (Caped Crusader, by Andy Jones), but that is a very cool concept nonetheless.
I don't know, its just what I saw - and I thought it fitted the Rorschach print perfectly.
Not sure how I missed your reply earlier-
I know you would not try and intentionally mislead anyone, but others might see it very differently. At first glance I was in awe at your submission as I thought it was your own artwork. Now I know you modified existing work I still think it is an impressive submission, but my judgment is much fairer.

I think it is always best to cite used source material, to avoid arguments later. If for example your submission won but then it was found to have been "stolen" we would have more needless drama.

I never do these because I am not really artistic. However I sketched out My Submission with pencil. That took me a very long time to do so I hope it is accepted :)

Based on Queen Gohma concept art it immediately popped in my head when I saw the blots.

I completely agree - I wasn't intending to mislead anyone in the slightest - and I take no credit whatsoever for the fantastic initial piece of artwork.
I don't know if it is within the boundaries of the competition - although personally I interpreted the stimulus given, as it would be feasible.

Halcy used to do a pretty good Walken impression. All the more reason to like and admire him if he can also do Freeman (even if it is hackneyed, that he attempts it makes him better than me).

Also, I never see shapes or patterns in Rorschach blots. I seem to completely lack that type of pattern recognition.

Loved the wedding advice answer, I chuckled. Yet part of me believes that's probably genuine advice too.

Oh, like I'd miss a design challenge on a Mail Sack. I opted for a photo-mash-up instead of drawing everything this time. Wasn't feeling like drawing with a hangover.

Yeah I use CS5, but I think all of the features I used for it are in as early as CS2. Mostly cutting, levels adjust (Ctrl+L), dodge/burn tools and blending styles.

I like using several background layers so the picture blends better and using filters.

Bye.

Some of these submissions are very elaborate. They make me wish I was born with a hand that could draw straight lines. :-(

I've been toying about with an idea that I might submit for the Mail Sack 22 contest, so keep an eye out for that.

I mash-up several layers with overlays and stuff (overlaying an image of tarmac onto something for easymode grunge effect, for example) quite a lot, it makes some nice effects.
I tend to avoid the premade filter effects (the ones in that filter gallery section). I'm still learning valid uses for all the other filters. I learned today that 'surface blur' is great for making the woman's skin look synthetic.

You could have filled the inkblot with text of the first things that come to mind, that would have been something way different to submissions so far. Originality means bonus points, most of the time.
