In this thread you can post your entries for the Picture of the Month contest.

N.B.
-You can post one and only one entry here
-Once it's submitted, that one will be judged. So be sure your work is completed before posting it here.
-Don't post anything else, such as comments or questions. The other thread should be used for that.

For the ocean themed contest. MSPaint.

Is that a parody from Hitchhiker?
:D

I like the whales, are they jumping?

PS - The long and narrow approach to the picture makes it seem very stylistic.

EDIT - Wait a sec, I'm trying to upload my entry.

I believe this topic is for entries only, so idle chit chat sort of breaks the rules, BUT, they are flying I believe, swimming across the sky, parodying the seagulls, and less Douglas Adams masterpiece.

Well, I'm trying to upload my entry, but it's not agreeing with me.

Imageshack doesn't like the filetype of the image, and PNG screws up the colors.

cool one GiantMidgit ... :ok: :ok: :ok:

My entry for this is (once again) a photogaphy I did during my last holiday with adjusted looks, contrasts and colors.

(I will edit this and submit my entry once ts done, I promise)
Ok, just to clear some stuff up in case some people are confused, you are allowed to use text in your picture, and you can use photographs and such, like Swiss', you don't need to entirely make it from scratch.

Ok, this is my artwork:

I hope that all the Monkey Island fans will be happy with this!

Enjoy :ok:

The ocean was a photograph I took of a local beach and filtered it several times to change colours and smoothness to get a fantasy effect. The mermaid I created using a laptop scroll pad. And the sparkles were good ol' PSP tubes.


Coming....thanks, Swiss :)
