Olis Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ladies and gentlemen, I have an idea. Or rather, awfulawful has an idea: That fake cover is awful, but it makes me think that we should have a thread here in which people can make their own versions and we'll decide whose is the best/most awful. Has there ever been a photoshop contest here? So here it is, a photoshop contest for B&C, to see who can produce the Best (and Worst) Fake 6th Edition Rulebook Cover. Let's just get this out of the way - I have never photoshopped before. There. I said it. So I won't be entering (thus I cannot win my own contest). But the idea to hold a contest (brief or otherwise) stuck. Never done that before, either. This is going to go well. :P I figured I'd like to keep this relatively freeform, not putting any real limitations on the entries - There isn't anything to win, I'm afraid, as this is just for giggles really. So, the competition. There are two categories - Best, and Worst. Best In the Best category, the criteria are simply how good it looks and how realistically it could be the "real" 6th Edition rulebook cover. That's it. The more professional it looks, the better. Worst This category is literally just for giggles and is likely to be judged far more arbitrarily than Best. Suffice to say, unless it gets turned into a poll, the winner is the one who makes me laugh the most. Of course, if you enter, you'll have to say which category you're entering (you are allowed to enter both, once, with different entries). The date to aim for is the 30th of June, guys, if you're in. All you have to do to enter is post the entry in this thread. Simples. That's pretty much all I got at the moment. Are there any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I really like the idea, but I'm not really that skilled in that regard. Hope some of the talented folks on this forum have a go, as I think its only a few more weeks till the 6th pre-orders go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackalos Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm no photoshop whiz but I'd love to see what others can come up with, although I get a weird feeling there will be some entries aimed towards 'winning' the worst cover. Hell, I might even shoop a Space Marine with Arnie's head. EDIT: Nevermind, I just found this: http://www.extrahype.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Warhammer40kSpaceMarineVideoDumped.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm so all over this! Hopefully I can knock it out tonight and tomorrow morning. I already have most of it done. Now I just need to scratch build a war hammer for the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 [...] Hell, I might even shoop a Space Marine with Arnie's head.[...] Don't bother. They also did Pacino already. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Holy crap, I never realized what a blatant rip-off of Pacino that Dark Angel is. It's like Tony Montana in power armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I take it these are in the 'Worst' category, guys? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Horribly done but I think it gets the point across. All major xenos involved on the cover and the idea of the Imperium having to bring out its greatest heroes to combat the overwhemling horrors about to devour it. http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/MarineErrant/fake6thedcover.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Here we go. It's not perfect by any stretch, but I did what I could in an hour and a half. http://i47.tinypic.com/2ur719w.jpg For some reason the image quality isn't the best. I'll see what I can do.

Kassill Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Wow fortnight, that is awesome! Really love the use of that older piece of art work. Crimson Fist one right? Love that one. <_< If I could shoop at all, I'd give this ago, but I'm terrible. Lucky for me their is a "worst" category, so may have to give it a go.

Looks like that one's going in the 'Best' pile, then... :PLooks like it is going to win too (since it is the only serious entry so far). EDIT: Just realised I should've done Statham instead of Arnie.

Although I do have GIMP and know some of the basics (blur tool etc...), the one I did was done on Paint... because Paint is boss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
