Battle #31 - Voting is open! | All Winners | Hall of Fame | Battle SROTD

OP posts a pic then submitters in the thread take OP's photo and modify it and resubmit. This goes back and forth until something amazing happens.

Weekly battles where one picture is uploaded/selected and people modify the picture and submit it. Entry with the highest upvotes ratio gets to pick the photo for next weeks battle.

This is definitely a great way to increase your skills and have a great time.

  1. Pic requests Please leave the self pic style "Please photoshop me" stuff to /r/picrequests. Mods will remove these posts. If you see a pic request please report it.

  2. Image content When submitting an image please make sure it:

    • Isn't too small. A [500x500] image barely gives room to work with.
    • Isn't low in quality. Example of a "low quality" image.
    • Isn't uploaded to Facebook. You may try re-hosting the image to another site.
    • Is labeled NSFW if necessary (use this tag generously).
  3. Titles
    Your title must be descriptive. No more "this has potential" or "lets see what you guys can do". Some people browse reddit in compact mode(no thumbnails) so they need the titles to be descriptive not boring.

    • If the title sounds like a pic request it will be subject to removal.
    • If the title sounds cliched or unoriginal it will be subject to removal.
    • If the title is made as a question it will be subject to removal.
  4. Voting
    Please vote by quality. 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. Downvoting constructively is also recommended. We like to play nice here so please keep that in mind. If you believe something is inappropriate please report it.

Holy shit, that's good

[–]RicanFx 18 points19 points ago

Thank you =]

[–]TheLegitMidgit 27 points28 points ago

This is way to incredible... You just made the majority or /r/photoshopbattles look like /r/mspaintbattles. Wow.

[–]RicanFx 5 points6 points ago

Thank you <3

[–]althius1 9 points10 points ago

This seriously needs X-Posted to a wider audience.

[–]RicanFx 3 points4 points ago

Spreading it around would help <33. Glad you like it =]

[–]BadAdvice101 3 points4 points ago

You should be in advertisement, the idea and the outcome are terrific.

[–]seancanada 1 point2 points ago

Why would you assume he's not?

[–]shoizy 0 points1 point ago

he doesn't know whether the guy is or not, he just said he should be in it

[–]seancanada 0 points1 point ago

That being the case, the real question why did I assume that he assumed he's not?

[–]shoizy 0 points1 point ago

that being said, your name is irrelevant

[–]Lord_of_Womba 3 points4 points ago

Off topic, but was that movie any good?

[–]RicanFx 1 point2 points ago

Yes! When you can go and see it. It's not a waste of time to see it, you get hooked on it.

[–]dickmcgirkin 4 points5 points ago

Probably one of the better shop's I've seen in a long while.

[–]pimpofpixels 85 points86 points ago

I'm not like the rest. Trust me.

[–]aint_it_the_truth 4 points5 points ago

Wow, this one really sends a message. Kudos.

[–]CookieMan0 1 point2 points ago

Animorphs?

[–]MrJuwi 21 points22 points ago

Gary Busey?

[–]TeethofBusey 3 points4 points ago

Even I'm impressed.

[–]Nookuler 7 points8 points ago

For some reason he looks like The Fonz to me.

[–]nagasgura 121 points122 points ago

[–]TheLegitMidgit 29 points30 points ago

This is scarier than any horror movie I have ever seen.

[–]neverve 16 points17 points ago

[–]colacube 52 points53 points ago

We don't need an election, just a skilled surgeon.

[–]incredible-ninja 25 points26 points ago

that could be an episode of southpark

[–]Cygnus_X1 8 points9 points ago

Romney kills Kenney thinking he's a terrorist. Obama has Romney detained under the NDA (or whatever it's called. the act that allows people to be detained indefinitely without question). Since they're all stuck together they start bickering in a prison cell. Cartman comes in representing Kenney to strike a deal, resulting in some loophole that makes his president.

[–]slablvr 1 point2 points ago

president plasty

[–]incredible-ninja 0 points1 point ago

mix it with some of the mission impossible/obama episode and you have got yourself a money machine

[–]ChrisSal 33 points34 points ago

There's a black guy with a mustache!

[–]AmboC 7 points8 points ago

I fell more inclined to trust them now that they have super sweet 'staches.

[–]masterdll7 7 points8 points ago

OP is suggesting Paul Ryan is Hitler. Would you trust Hitler?

[–]MrGstarRawr 8 points9 points ago

But Hitler did nothing wrong...

[–]Dinokknd 0 points1 point ago

Mountain dew agrees.

[–]AmboC 2 points3 points ago

We sometimes let the man behind the 'stache blur our judgement, but 'staches don't lie.

[–]rickstrada -2 points-1 points ago

I was looking for one of them being dead.

Just a little disappointed...

[–]ThisIsZach 71 points72 points ago

[–]spicy_jose 9 points10 points ago

The college years.

[–]Is_This_Democracy_ 65 points66 points ago

Faces of r/politics.

(looks oddly like Bush Jr.)

[–]SpikeThis 11 points12 points ago

That's cool. Can you try it resizing all heads to the same size? I'd try but I don't have/know how to use Photoshop.

[–]Is_This_Democracy_ 15 points16 points ago

I think the head size is not so much a problem as the fact that Romney doesn't look straight.

(for a change).

[–]FSMCA 1 point2 points ago

I had to check if that was a gif, almost looks like it moves

[–]valueproposition 0 points1 point ago

I see Steve Carell in all that mess.

[–]elevatorstairs 31 points32 points ago

[–]caglebagle 2 points3 points ago

nice background is that original? good type too.

[–]elevatorstairs 1 point2 points ago

No, the background is my current wallpaper that I found when I googled American Eagle wallpaper.

I just felt I needed something America-y to go in the back. I could give you the link if youy want but I don't know who made it.

[–]slddngwthtgrs 26 points27 points ago

My goal was to boil down the entire race into one picture http://i.imgur.com/Id9WT.jpg

[–]Win5get1free 10 points11 points ago

Wow, that is really unsettling.

[–]slddngwthtgrs 25 points26 points ago

[–]cameraguysteve 35 points36 points ago

[–]dickmcgirkin 13 points14 points ago

my submission

yes, I used a star trek image with a sith face. Why? Because this guy might just be that stupid :)

[–]chkchk 2 points3 points ago

Looks like a gummer to me.

[–]ZippyTWM 32 points33 points ago

I'll just leave this here... http://i.imgur.com/5xsE9.jpg

[–]ReeseLaserSpoon 25 points26 points ago

My first thought was this needs the obvious counterpart posted, but then I remembered that in 2008 Romney used a similar version on his campaign buttons in Utah.

[–]shoizy 3 points4 points ago

the irony of the rainbow on a republican's button..

[–]fortnight14 2 points3 points ago

I feel like he needs an ironic button on his lapel

[–]weeklyplanner 9 points10 points ago

Do you enjoy working in the laundry?

[–]CitizenTed 15 points16 points ago

Let's do the equivalencies again!

[–]Skwink 2 points3 points ago

Obama's should actually be a drone.

[–]CitizenTed 7 points8 points ago

Yeah, I thought about a drone but the stealth bomber is black, so... :0)

[–]seancanada 10 points11 points ago

Here's Mitt.

I tried a few things, but subtle seemed to work best. Yes, this was a subtle version.

As a Canadian, I suppose I also apologize here. Not for the Photoshopping, but for him being a presidential candidate.

[–]Ice_tail 7 points8 points ago

What did you change?

[–]seancanada 6 points7 points ago

That's the thing.. I just left the photo as I found it, hoping for karma.

I thought it was funny as it was.

[–]GuantanaMo 12 points13 points ago

Did you win?

[–]I3aisden 12 points13 points ago

No, but I didn't deserve too. The kid who won is going to take it a lot more seriously than I would have. I was just running so colleges would cum all over my applications. But I got a different position so it all worked out (:

[–]neverve 2 points3 points ago

You weasel.

Obama fell asleep first at the presidential candidates' sleepover.

[–]FSMCA 4 points5 points ago

[–]uncommonpanda 0 points1 point ago

You have a serious talent....the shading the reflections.....it's just fuckin gravy. Quit your job and start doing this soon. Damn your good at what you do.

[–]coconuuut 0 points1 point ago

Obama as Gustavo Fring would make my day!
