Underwater Houses pictures -
Australian Geographic magazine sponsored an unusual project - the construction of an underwater house where aquanauts may stay for weeks without leaving. The first underwater mission was successfully completed by a trained aquanaut and lasted for 13 days. The 8 by 10 foot under-sea home is constructed from the metal parts and maintains healthy air pressure and oxygen levels to recreate living conditions in the atmosphere. The special chambers supply oxygen to the room, and filter out the carbon dioxide produced from breathing. Last but not least, this sea house has a supply of food in the fridge and is equipped with a bathroom.
Photoshop underwater houses one way or another. Show how humans would live underwater, but your entry must include the underwater house somewhere in it. What housing construction elements will be needed to maintain a good life style underwater? We will also accept partially submerged houses in this contest.
Scary Houses pictures - Photoshop scary houses and create images of things that might surprise or even scare the owners of a new house.
Airplane Houses? pictures - Create images of houses with plane parts integrated into them. The houses can be in flight or on the ground.
Houses pictures -
South Korea has built the only toilet shaped house in the world.
The house has two floors and several luxury toilets inside, which have motion sensors and activate classical music when guests enter to do their business.
Photoshop houses with unusual forms, sizes or built with unusual materials. Some examples are: houses built with cheese, boots, household items, or even mushrooms, as in this beautiful entry.
Houses images - Show how houses can be protected against flood and hurricane. Make them flood-proof or hurricane-proof. Images showing part of houses are also allowed, as well as images of mobile homes.
Democrats win "Full House" pictures -
[ The 2006 election results are in. Democrats win control of the house.]
The Republicans have been to blame for everything from the economy to the war over the past 8 years by the Democrats. Well, now they have their chance to change all of this. I expect them to put an end to poverty, hunger, war, unemployment, global warming and high gas prices by January 1st. I have no reason not to believe this either. I mean, every 5 or 10 minutes for the past couple months I have been receiving recorded phone messages from the candidates promising these very things if I would only vote for them.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop magazine covers related to the election results. Create magazine covers showing possible cheating methods, dirty voting, or other election surprises and how America will change after these elections.

Farmhouse pictures - I had only just completed the renovation - and they moved in. / I like it, but those damn Amish people stole that porch chair from the house five doors down. They should give it back. / What I love about this entry, is that it looks closer to original house than any other entries in this contest. This is truly a renovation of the house we see on the source picture. Brilliantly done work, one of my favorites in this contest. My only criticism is the trees/leaves - which fit perfectly, but use low resolution source. Still I love this. Many small details added which take this from great entry to being an outstanding entry. / Ditto What Newsmaster said, this is a great entry.... / This is JUST EXCELLENT, a definate winner in my eyes, congrats... / good adding of trees and landscaping. But i think if you just put a new doors and windows and roofs as what the theme said this will standout more. (just my own opinion). still nice concept. / Looks like my grandma and her crew moved in to your place. Lovely work. / The lighting on the tree doesn't quite match up...but it's a great effort otherwise. / This is really wonderful, excellent renovation, I love your trees and the soft colors. Here is my (minor) crit: Looking at direction of the strong sunlight on the trees, I think they should be casting a big shadow over the roof and front of house, and the house itself should have stronger shadows. A way around that would have been to use a less brightly lit tree source. / Hey ya know the Amish like doors and windows too. Ha Ha... just kidding. Actually, your composition is really good. I only have a small handful of things that I would say need changed; The bushes are distinctly more vibrant than the grass. The lower roof has lost all of its texture (it looks like plywood painted over with house paint). There are no doors or windows (with the exception of the one in the front). The perspective of the steps in front of the porch is all wrong. I'm not bashing your work at all - I'm just pointing out issues to help you grow as an artist. / YO. Thank you all so much for your comments - and help. This is far from perfect I know.. coulda used another 3 days actual. Do appreciate all your generous remarks tho - this was a real learning experience.. but one I really enjoyed. Honestly - I never nicked that chair.. found it on Google... So sorry there are not more entries on this challenge.. but can understand why. I was a bit bemused too - thought I would skip it.. but started playing around... and heyyyy... it's all fun after all. Thanks again... this was a magic challenge.... / You're a phenomenal artist, and people like you push me to become a better artist myself. This isn't a competition about winning... it's a competition about learning. I've learned so much about design and photoshop techniques since I joined this site three days ago simply by watching what you do. Thanks for the inspiration. PS. If you don't give me back my chair I'm gonna steal yo horse. / good job on landscaping and coloring. but i agree with Kibuyu minor critic. / Congrats on the win, and especially on your first gold at FN. / Bless you NewsMaster. Much appreciated. .... and Versago - I am very humbled by your comments. There are far better artists here.. and I am still learning.. but you sure give me a glow. ... PS.. ok then the horse is yours.
