Battle #40 - Open for Voting! | New Rule, Oct 15

Battle 40

About Photoshop Battles

A subreddit for people to use photo manipulation software to create new images.

Official weekly battles are held where entries are removed for the first 24-hours to give an opportunity for more detailed submissions.

Battle winners pick the photo for the next battle (only upvotes are counted) and all entrants are given subreddit flair.


Rules for Submissions:

I. No Requests or Questions

  • Requests, such as "Please photoshop me or my friend", can be posted to /r/picrequests.

  • Questions, such as "Where else could he be?", or "What else could she be sticking in her mouth?" are not permitted.

II. Titles

  • Your title must be descriptive. Please accurately describe the subject of the photo.

  • No cliches such as "this has potential", "lets see what you guys can do", or "make this epic".

III. Image content

  • Images should be at least 500x500 pixels.
  • No technically low-quality images. Focus, framing, lighting, etc. are important.
  • No links to facebook.
  • NSFW tags must be used generously.
  • No albums or web pages, submissions must be a single image.

Submissions that do not follow the rules will be subject to removal by the moderators.

If you notice a submission that violates the rules, please report it to the mods, and send us a message letting us know why it was reported.


Commenting

Junk comments distract from this subreddit a lot more than in other subreddits that are not based on original content.

Comments that are cliché, text-only, not an original work, image macros, memes, reaction gifs, or off-topic are subject to removal by the moderators without notification.

reddiquette

Comments should be fully compliant with RFC 2119


Voting

  • Please vote based on quality of work. Lazy shops shouldn't win just because they made you laugh. You can still vote funny stuff (we can't control you) but keep in mind that people spend lots of time making some really good submissions and deserve as much recognition as the next guy.

  • Please do not downvote submissions because they do not have obvious potential. An image that does not have an easy punchline may be the most creatively inspiring to others.

Please report inappropriate content to the mods.

Barack Edition only $9,001 on Origin

[–]CharredOldOakCask 30 points31 points ago

Fuckit. I'm using this one as my background.

[–]NDBeans929 25 points26 points ago

I'm not a big fan of Obama, but this is pretty cool

[–]Waffles81 86 points87 points ago

I'm not a big fan of Obama

SO BRAVE

[–]NDBeans929 19 points20 points ago

To be fair, I think Romney is as much of a shitbird

[–]Doctor_Loggins 12 points13 points ago

This really needs the limes replaced with the face of Merida from Brave.

[–]LeeENTfield 5 points6 points ago

They're all fuckin' snakes.

[–]Tself 2 points3 points ago

I really hope people can at least admit Romney is way more of a shitbird than Obama. I didn't vote for either, but cmon, comparing Obama as an equal to Romney is a low blow.

[–]NDBeans929 1 point2 points ago

I disagree with Obama's policies, and I think Romney is a puppet of a disillusioned Republican party. If however if I were to agree with Obama I would understand where you're coming from, and I respect that.

[–]silianat89 0 points1 point ago

Don't vote? Dont talk.

[–]Tself 1 point2 points ago

I did vote. I voted for Stein.

And no I didn't "throw my vote away" because I live in a Blue State; so Obama is going to win the electoral vote here anyways no matter who I vote for. If I lived in a Purple State, I would most definitely be voting Obama.

[–]lurkingallday 1 point2 points ago

Shit hawks, Randy. Shit hawks.

[–]AlextheGerman 3 points4 points ago

Really? What isn't brave anymore...

[–]Masculine_Penguin 6 points7 points ago

Saying you love Obama.

[–]AlextheGerman 8 points9 points ago

Fuck Obama..

[–]Waffles81 1 point2 points ago

Once you go Barack you can never go back.

[–]theryanmoore 3 points4 points ago

Using some variation of "so brave" as a comeback is no longer brave.

[–]jlettuce07 2 points3 points ago

Quite courageous!

[–]lawvol98 0 points1 point ago

Absolutely awesome. Much better than the whole "Hope" campaign poster

[–]HowdItGetBurnd 512 points513 points ago

waiting for inevitable final torn suit fist-fight to the death finale

[–]SeeOtter 16 points17 points ago

[–]the_inevitable 7 points8 points ago

I'm here, you can stop waiting.

[–]teusz16 1 point2 points ago

I hate Putin and love Obama, but I'd laugh at anyone who thinks Obama would have a chance.

[–]chain_chomp 2 points3 points ago

Exactly. Except in this case they use an American flag to shield them from the blast instead of a coke machine.

[–]terrible_name 0 points1 point ago

false, Putin never dies

[–]Aceous 3 points4 points ago

Needs moar orange-blue contrast.

[–]notromanbellic 7 points8 points ago

I would watch the shit outta that movie, all day every day.

[–]HowdItGetBurnd 226 points227 points ago

Found another angle, from farther away: http://imgur.com/qk9D7

[–]GorgeouslyHumbl 7 points8 points ago

Just... yes.

[–]palonious 271 points272 points ago

[–]Vurz 43 points44 points ago

Needs more lens flare.

[–]ficaa1 32 points33 points ago

more blue

[–]EmLeingod 40 points41 points ago

more left chest being on fire

[–]nickyx98 17 points18 points ago

more cowbell

[–]Keksus_ 7 points8 points ago

No! The right hand holds the weapon, the left hand holds the orange!

[–]electriophile 1 point2 points ago

Presidency 2: The Presiding.

[–]filmguy100 0 points1 point ago

Obama walking away from an explosion without looking behind him is the most badass thing I've seen this week.

[–]palonious 1 point2 points ago

Credit goes to HowdItGetBurnd... I just masked the non explosion area and applied a blue saturated filter.

[–]Bluedit5 12 points13 points ago

When I saw this pic I just couldn't help but hear the music. I present: Ba-rack Ishiibama and the Crazy 88.

[–]ceezirr 18 points19 points ago

...through the eyes of Michael Bay.

[–]bigbangbilly 5 points6 points ago

What about the Uwe Boll version?

[–]domasin 9 points10 points ago

Lower quality explosions.

[–]MonkeeSage 8 points9 points ago

What about the Tommy Wiseau version?

[–]ApocaLiz 7 points8 points ago

Oh hai Barack.

[–]Clockwork757 24 points25 points ago

Cool presidents don't look at explosions

[–]Volopok 16 points17 points ago

Otherwise he would have to answer for drone strikes he authorizes.

[–]Pacalakin 14 points15 points ago

Die Hard 5: Death is an Executive Decision

[–]kloden112 1 point2 points ago

Was all i could think about - cool guys dont look at explosions!

[–]snuffl3s 1 point2 points ago

Came here for explosions. Was not disappoint.

[–]Imashinu 1 point2 points ago

Now someone put Putin in next to him.

[–]osellr 1 point2 points ago

Must be one of his drone strikes

[–]echoes_1992 0 points1 point ago

[–]markedanthony 0 points1 point ago

Cool guys

[–]zannyuk -2 points-1 points ago

i came here for this, thank you

[–]ReverendEnder 156 points157 points ago

My humble efforts. I hope it's ok that I don't have/didn't use photoshop. http://i.imgur.com/D1sG3.jpg

[–]youbbetchya 20 points21 points ago

YOU TELL EM BARACK IS COMING. AND I'M BRINGING HELL WITH ME!!

[–]OhTheTallOne 6 points7 points ago

My favourite here. Great job!

[–]HowieGaming 2 points3 points ago

I hope its ok that I don't have/didn't use photoshop.

But that is actually a pretty good edit! Nice work!

[–]Maskedcrusader94 0 points1 point ago

The guy on the far left actually looks more photoshopped in than Obama

[–]triplea20x 110 points111 points ago

BUUUUUUUUUURACK OBAMAAAA

[–]oliveskins 142 points143 points ago

With muuuuuusical guest, JOE AND THE BIIIIIDEEEEENS!

[–]thechaserx 39 points40 points ago

I would pay so much money to see that.

[–]benderunit9000 14 points15 points ago

It'd be a good show too. Biden is quite the musician.

[–]jakedfriesen 9 points10 points ago

I think you mean R-money playing his new single "Binders Fulla women"

[–]halmike 0 points1 point ago

how long did it take you to think of that one? about 3 inches?

[–]fooosh 10 points11 points ago

Actually maybe it's more like the title cards in between commercials, but you get the idea.

[–]theworldbystorm 2 points3 points ago

He was on SNL in 2007, actually. Just for one sketch.

[–]whatkindofasshole 79 points80 points ago

My favorite line from the movie: "How about this?"

[–]Zegeri 15 points16 points ago

Excelent work! If only it used the pink font...

[–]Dcoil1 1 point2 points ago

I hated that movie, but this is a really good shoop

[–]whatkindofasshole 0 points1 point ago

The movie definitely isn't for everyone, but I loved it. Also, thanks!

[–]krazykoo 397 points398 points ago

EPIC OBAMA took me quite a bit of time to create. You're welcome. (Take note to Romney in the flames)

[–]YUReadMyName 32 points33 points ago

The Romney in flames touch was nice. Good show.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Very good eye, I wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't point it out, but it still feels hard to tell if it's actually Romney or just another male face.

[–]Paclac 13 points14 points ago

Is he supposed to be Rick Grimes?

[–]Glennsguitar 6 points7 points ago

The Baracking Dead.

[–]Zombie_Feeder 5 points6 points ago

Yes

[–]isamri 5 points6 points ago

can you make one w/o the hat. i would love this as wallpaper

[–]dcastro9 6 points7 points ago

Overall good job but the hat. c'mon man.. at least fix the white trim.

[–]krazykoo 1 point2 points ago

yeah my apologies for that. That was created from an emboss filter I used to get the texture right from the background. I didn't notice till after I uploaded it.

[–]vulcanblight 18 points19 points ago

I just giggled very loudly, I'm sure everyone is awake now.

[–]OgodHOWdisGEThere 0 points1 point ago

I would play the fuck out of this. shame bf3 isn't really moddable.

[–]LochnessDigital 143 points144 points ago

[–]flowbiscuit 7 points8 points ago

this is the best one!

[–]triplea20x 40 points41 points ago

Lens Flare is J.J. Abrams, not Michael Bay, but I still like this.

[–]KellyCommaRoy 35 points36 points ago

Abrams.

(I was too lazy/incompetent to change the text)

[–]avenx 1 point2 points ago

But there's Optimus Prime in the background. I think he took the lens flare and made it into a light/weapon on Optimus Prime's shoulder or hand (maybe. There's also a helicopter, so I don't know.).

[–]UmiNotsuki 14 points15 points ago

That's actually not a bad ad. I mean, it's a shitty ad because it's just a picture of the guy with a word on it, but since that's what political ads usually are, pretty good ad.

[–]fantomvii 2 points3 points ago

If this is a michael bay pac, needs more robots and explosions but otherwise have an upvote!

[–]sourgrap3s 0 points1 point ago

ROLLOUT would be awesome here too =D

[–]mackmgg 118 points119 points ago

[–]towerofterror 23 points24 points ago

Biden is streets behind!

[–]zamsel 3 points4 points ago

That's not a thing

[–]Deathmask97 8 points9 points ago

This wasn't what I was expecting, but I think this is my favorite of them all.

[–]brianlouis 52 points53 points ago

[–]adouchebag 1 point2 points ago

This needs a Fox News caption about how Obama is destroying the Middle East.

[–]brianlouis 6 points7 points ago

Ok . . . Captions?

[–]dksprocket 66 points67 points ago

Might as well use the full resolution picture!

[–]vulcanblight 121 points122 points ago

[–]bigbangbilly 36 points37 points ago

Can you change the lighting a bit.

[–]dmxell 186 points187 points ago

Here.

The things I do for you people =D

[–]MaoThatHurt 40 points41 points ago

What do you mean "you people"?

[–]stinky_fudge 33 points34 points ago

What do YOU mean "you people"?

[–]Cilibinarii 5 points6 points ago

What do you people mean "you people"?

[–]imARidge 3 points4 points ago

What people do you mean?

[–]Their_Police 8 points9 points ago

That looks much better, very well done.

[–]Alot_Hunter 10 points11 points ago

you people

ಠ_ಠ

[–]dmxell 13 points14 points ago

Fine, I admit it, I did this as much for me as for you people.

[–]SpinachandSon 19 points20 points ago

Shhheeeeiiiittt

[–]lackofbrain 1 point2 points ago

I thought that was Prince Charles dancing for a second...

[–]briguy182182 26 points27 points ago

I feel like this one might violate Rule #3: No technically low-quality images. Focus, framing, lighting, etc. are important.

[–]weaselstomp[M] 37 points38 points ago

  • It's got 468 upvotes, mine included.
  • I think the lighting sets the mood nicely. It's of poor quality, but I did a TinEye and google image search, and all copies of this shot are low quality.

EDIT: Better quality, kinda.

[–]WhipIash -3 points-2 points ago

It's the damn grainyness that's the issue. Can't really do shit with it. The lens flare, although looking good in the original picture, makes it tough to work with as well.

[–]weaselstomp[M] 15 points16 points ago

It's the damn grainyness that's the issue. Can't really do shit with it.

There are 25 other photoshoppers who were able to "do shit with it"

[–]WhipIash -2 points-1 points ago

And they're all badly made explosions.

[–]weaselstomp 2 points3 points ago

Sorry, we can't really control what people create, we can just make sure it was a creation :)

[–]DredKno7 44 points45 points ago

Sometimes rules need to be broken when a picture is rare and awesome enough.

[–]CarbonFiberToast 6 points7 points ago

-in best Batman voice_

Today, we mods are going to break our one rule!

[–]Doctor_Loggins 0 points1 point ago

Bale's Batman sounds like Scooby Doo with a cold.

[–]Werv 15 points16 points ago

I feel that makes this picture.

[–]sixstring988 40 points41 points ago

[–]hero0fwar 21 points22 points ago

[–]Viscerae 0 points1 point ago

Needs a gun in his hand.

[–]tigranater 4 points5 points ago

Obama needs no gun.

[–]happygerbil 62 points63 points ago

President Obama shooting LASERS from his eyes.

[–]bossrabbit 23 points24 points ago

I thought that was a real subreddit and got excited. Are there any humorous mspaint related subreddits?

[–]Dobles_Puntos 60 points61 points ago

/r/mspaintbattles

Go forth, my son.

[–]nameless88 7 points8 points ago

there is /r/mspaint which is mostly just people's drawnings using that.

[–]StealthRevealed 2 points3 points ago

Why yes there are sir. /r/mspaintbattles

[–]Deathmask97 1 point2 points ago

What have you done?
I had to close out all 4 extra tabs, I would have been here till this afternoon.

[–]Cygnus_X1 0 points1 point ago

Why not just make a thread and specify MSPaint only?
