Polish a turd

[zozman]

Sign up, sign up.  

In the spirit of UYA renaissance, anyone up for a bash at this?  It probably needs some tweaking, but we can give it a blast and maybe add one or two rules as we go on.  The speed that the sentence game happened, this should be finished by midnight.

Basically:

What about a game I've just invented in my head? I've even got a name for it - "Polish a Turd". Basically someone starts with one rubbish image, say of a peanut. They then pass it to the next person in a chain who has to do one thing to improve the image - for example, by giving the peanut a lovely little moustache. The last image should be tip-top (although it may well not be).

Sign up anyway, and I'll start something going, what? at the weekend?

[Purple Tentacle]

Sign me up, Art Nazis.

[imitationleather]

I'm there like E=mc².

Are we going to do it in the order people signed up, or will we randomise the names once everyone's said they're in?

[Cardinal Tit Storm]

I too would like to polish a turd.

[Deadman97]

I'll buff up a brownie.

[Suttonpubcrawl]

I'm in.

[Marv Orange]

Why not just have a free for all post the starter image in here and let the chaos commence. Althougth UYA is pretty sleepy i doubt there will be much chaos.

Fuck rules and signing up you SUIT!

[zozman]

Just do as you're told, you FUCK.

[imitationleather]

Fuck rules and signing up you SUIT!

You have been declared unmutual.


And also that's a shit idea. So ner!

I am sure the art Führer will permit a place near the back, but we will not be waiting long. The new Up Your Arts people are not a patient people.

[butnut]

Go on then.

EDIT - ooh ooh. I'm away for most of Wed/Turdsay, so the art Nazis may have to strike me out.

[fanny splendid]

Wax on, pinch off, yes please.

Is this thread limited to Photoshop maestros only? Because I don't own or know how to use Photoshop and am limited to cack handed MSpaint shitstorms. Are people allowed to pitch in with such limited resources? I mean my contribution will probably be to just draw a big pink cock on whatever the picture is of.

[Eight Taiwanese Teenagers]

That sounds fun. I'm in.

I imagine it's exactly the same as the sentence game, MSPaint stuff is absolutely fine, although the Photoshop Gestapo Jackass Lamers might laugh up their sleeves, before dabbing their cruel lips with swastika embroided hankerchiefs.

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

Purple Tentacle has confirmed that people with limited Photoshop skills are allowed to join in, but has suggest that they may be laughed at and ridiculed. What will Al think?




I'm in.

[Flook]

yeah me too - lets caress the dessicaed husk that used to be the heart of this forum back into some kind of life. Obviously laughing uncontrollably at the photoshopilly-challenged as we go...

Al Tha Funkee Homosapien has declared himself in, but how will other competitors who lack confidence in their photoshop skills react? Remember that under the rules of Up Your Arts, Purple Tentacle is allowed to criticise them as harshly as he desires.

[Suttonpubcrawl]

It's just occurred to me that the starter image should be fairly large so as to give everyone plenty of room to work without having to go over the top of things that other people have done. Obviously that's not to say that people shouldn't edit the image in any way that would affect what other people have already done, just to say that if it's a bit too small then we might have a situation where later edits would obliterate earlier edits completely because there would be too little room on the canvas and it wouldn't so much progress gradually as change completely. What would be a good resolution? 800x600?

I think this is going to be rather good.

[imitationleather]

When should we get going? I suggest Wednesday.

[hornshang]

I would like to participate please.

[imitationleather]

So Shoulders with funny eyes will be making an appearance at some point then.

[hornshang]

I am very insulted that you think I have such a limited artistic repertoire.

[Koant]

ahhh ok then, I'm in as well. I've never used photoshop before so I might as well use the opportunity.
On a more technical note, I'll actually be using Gimp.

[Purple Tentacle]

Part of me wants to start on Thursday, just so we can call it 'Turdsday', but Wednesday is probably best.

[sproggy]

It's not actually going to be a picture of a jobbie is it?

That wouldn't be very nice.

[butnut]

If it's taking place on Wed/Turds then I'mmmmmmm OUT [/kramer]
