WINNER! ~ Machax Giveaway - Becker BK-4 Chopping Contest

[The Warrior]

Okay, it's a done deal. The Man himself judged this one, and your winner is:

E really liked the terrified look on her face. He mentioned that in the running were the Statue of Liberty (NCSlice) and the Beatles (Jonny1280). He also liked Ethan Bunyan and Trampus the Blue Ox (also The Warrior), though he said he'd never pick this one because it would be too self-serving.

Congrats, Dubz. Shoot me an address.

Alright! Shooting you a PM. Thanks KA-BAR! Thanks Ethan! Thanks Guyon! Very much appreciated.

BTW, in the rules, it said it was gonna be judged by several people. If I had known it was gonna be Ethan alone, I wouldn't have done the other one, haha. :thumbup:

Here's an animation showing the before and after. I did change the facial expressions. Her eyes were the hardest thing to do. I had to use an airbrush in GIMP, and hand paint the highlights.

Here's a before and after on the other one. A ton of work there. Probably the most work I've ever done on a manip:

Congratz warrior! And thanks for the fun contest, Guyon. Really liked this one and enjoyed everyone's entries.

 

[Aikiguy]

Good stuff Warrior. Didn't even notice the manipulation you did on the faces on the first one. Congrats!

 

[Bladite]

that's not a worried look on her face.

that's the look of "oh, you did not just buy another knife after we had our understanding"

 

[NCSlice]

Most deserving for sure!
Thanks for the before and after, that's just awesome!

Congrats, Warrior, on the win and some excellent manipulation skills.

I liked the "Spock-like" eyebrow change on the geezer. That and his smirk made him look kinda "evil-ish".

 

[The Warrior]

Congrats Dubz!

The Ethan Bunyan is my fav.

Thanks man. I favored that one as well, of the 2.

Honorable mention...I'll take it! Esp going against Dubz chopping skillz haha!

Congrats Dubz! All that photo chopping practice totally paid off!

Thanks everyone and Uncle Ethan for making this contest possible. It was fun and a lot of great entries!

Haha, thanks man.

Thank you sir.

Good stuff Warrior. Didn't even notice the manipulation you did on the faces on the first one. Congrats!

Thanks man. I didn't change the face initially. I took the pitchfork out, and added the 4. I did it early in the morning, right before we left for Vermont. I changed the faces later.

that's not a worried look on her face.

that's the look of "oh, you did not just buy another knife after we had our understanding"

Haha. Glad my wife don't do that.

Most deserving for sure!
Thanks for the before and after, that's just awesome!

Thanks man. It does give you more of an idea what went in to all that.

Congrats, Warrior, on the win and some excellent manipulation skills.

I liked the "Spock-like" eyebrow change on the geezer. That and his smirk made him look kinda "evil-ish".

Thanks man. I liked how the eyebrows turned out as well. I was going to change his eye shape too, but that would have taken ages. If I stretched his eyes slanty, the glasses would have also moved. I made the mouth square, to go with his square chin.

Man, before anyone had even made a single reply I thought to myself "just give it to Dubz". Nice work brother. Well deserved..

Got the BK4 prize in the mail a few days ago! Damn camera batteries were dead, so I took a few shots tonight. I hate using a flash, so bear with me:

Thanks again Guyon, very much appreciated. :thumbup:
