That's not what we do here. Mostly, we help people to make their 'chops better. Sometimes we make rude noises. On Friday we have a barbeque. For this image, try to make the "'s" look the same as the other "american idol" script. Maybe offset the "got talent" lower so the the "got" doesn't disappear into the "american idol" section (black on blue is tough to read). SirModusoperandiBoinc! 00:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, help make it better, redo it, same thing. OK, I guess not. Anyway, I did try to make it look like the original Idol script – the problem was, by hand it didn't look particularly convincing, so I just used GIMP's neon logo tool to kludge it. But yeah, thanks for your suggestions, so long as the concept's OK I can try a little harder with my chopping.

Try to find a pic of a Subway restaurant that was taken straight on, rather than on an angle, then reduce the number of colours and lower its resolution (there may be an effect to "pixelate"). This should make it look "in game", hopefully. Also, he's got no legs, which seems odd. Most people have them. I've got two myself. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 06:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I tried to pixelate the subway picture but couldn't find the right effect to make it look a 1991 video game.--Weri long wang 11:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I've never tried it, to be honest, but if you save the background at, say, 1/4 it's resolution, then put that lo-res version here and stretch it to fit the regular resolution, it should be "pixelated" (you'll need to mess with the resolution, probably. 1/4 is just a guess). Lowering the colour depth of the background should make it more EGA-like. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 11:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

It looks okay to me. You may want to clean up the edge around the hook. The clone brushing behind it is a bit suspect, though.

Wilbur thought he had won the coin toss to fly the Machine, and all went well for the first twenty seconds until the leather straps holding him to the damned thing snapped and his body was flung into the ocean.
After you get Gimp (or Microsoft Photodraw on ebay - its the graphics program for people who can't hack Gimp) then you need to start thinking satire and context. While I see what you are getting at, to me there are two issues with this image that don't work for me.
First is the builing on the left edge of the image - it needs to go.
The other issue is, even if the chop issue is resolved and cleaned up, all you have is a 747 and Kitty Hawk - that isn't enough to get more than an "eh" out of me - because there is an important element missing - Wilbur Wright. Where is he because he's suppossed to be on the plane flying it. So for comparision purposes, here's my rough take on what makes the joke work for me.

The sun is supposed to be exposing him; from about 10:00. I darkened the rear slightly to add depth. So rotate him a few degrees? Considering distance, I placed him to be about 75% from the peek of his bound. Does the diving board look a bit funky? --AmericanBastard 04:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
The board does look funky. It's got no texture (it looks more like you painted a board, which you did, methinks). It may work better if he's just at the "leap" point near the start of a dive. From his posture it looks like that'd be best. With his current position in the air he'd be in the "stretch" point of the dive (and stretched out, rather than crouched). These are pretty technical diving terms, I admit; I'm somewhat of an expert in these matters, having never seen any form of diving whatsoever. --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 20:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Personall I feel the board needs to be longer instead of the diver closer to the board - after all, the diving platform is out over the water in the real wolrd, so it would reason thatthe board should be further out and over the side of the building.

2nd Modification! --AmericanBastard 23:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Now it looks like he's about to fall over backwards. Try rotating both him and the board CCW until it looks like he's trying to go left. His shadow on the board is too "blobby"; try cutting it back a bit. Picture yourself as the sun looking down on him and make up his shadow from that. You look down on every one. You're the sun, damnit! --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 00:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
The length of the Board is good as is the edge that he's diving over. The thing with the light on the diver is that it seems to be coming from two different areas. I would 1) tone down the light on him. or crank up the light fill effect on the buildings around him, and shade the tops of his thighs. Then I would tip him ever so slightly forward on the board so that it looks as if he plans to tumble over the edge of the board. Dame GUNPotYWotM2xPotM17xVFHVFPPooPMS•YAP• 23:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The shadow on the ground is wierd. Removing it seems the painlessest way to go about things. -- BrigadierGeneralSirZombiebaron 00:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Right now this picture looks like it could be something you would see on Livejournal as a poor attempt at a funny.
The board should be going outward from the building, and should be flat. Right now it looks like the board is jutting out of the roof at an awkward angle.
The diver is at a strange angle, by the looks of his position, he should be just jumping off the board at about a 45 degree angle.
The diver's lighting does not match the lighting of the rest of the picture. Try to find sources that are similar enough in lighting that there is less editing necessary to correct it.
Overall: From the looks of your sources, this image may not be possible to pull off as an actual photo. In this situation I would develop a two dimensional black and white "sign-style" picture. It would still get the same message across without the problems with editing quality. --Kaizer the Bjorntakkun(nya nya)(1961 model!)Check out T61! 16:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
An actual diver will be waay funnier than just a sign. I get what you mean though
ATM
Please Help this Picture
A new Sperm Bank ATM with handy deposit slot and withdrawl pump.
Hmmmmmm...difficult one. One of the strengths of the image is its off the wallness, so I'm not sure that working to blend some of the elements into the base image will improve it. I hate the "logo" on the screen, the text looks awful, also the text that appears beneath the FleshLight gives the impression you've just copied and pasted straight onto it. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
I had to look up FleshLight...you're creeping me out, Mhaille. On a side note, Mhaille's right. And he's not wearing any pants. And the fuel pump (?) confuses and frightens me. Also, it's a pun that has been done to death. I never got it, myself. I mean a bank is a place you put money in, and a sperm bank is a place you put sper...ah. --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 18:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
In my defence someone DID post a link on IRC to a Crazy Frog FleshLight image a few hours before I responded here. Plaese excuse my tpying. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
Ummm...why does it contain the normal ATM bits? Why would my "baby making wand" need to use a Visa card? Or is legal to sell your "tadpoles" in places that aren't Canada, because if you can, can I have a list of some prices? -- BrigadierGeneralSirZombiebaron 20:10, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
"baby making wand". Now I understand. Gross. --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 20:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I really like this idea. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the gas pump. Have you though about working a turkey baster into this? Dame GUNPotYWotM2xPotM17xVFHVFPPooPMS•YAP• 00:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
The border around the beaver looks odd. The tinfoilishness is freaking me out. Try losing the tinfoil and just showing the beav'. Which, curiously, is the last thing I said at the peelers before they kicked me out. But now I've said too much. --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 17:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually I think that Modus might have hit the nail on the head - perhaps the plastic pussy is too bright and shiny looks nothing mine which has had a number of children pass through it as they were born - have you though about placing an image of a real beaver there?

It was better without out the Citi logo and rhinestone flesh-light deposite shield. The less complex your picture is, the more funny. --AmericanBastard 03:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
First of all, PP, eww. Now to business. First they tell me to spoof a bank logo, then to remove it. Grr. I may remove the metal thing. It is actually a metal picture frame turned upside down. I'll put something better there. As for the, err, deposits place, I think more sterile looking, more better. It couldn't make it as a *heavenly sounds* 'Featured Image' if it is too pornographic. Maybe a recolouring is in order? Maybe a darker skin tone, or how about green or blue? so sayeth Sliferjam ~ Talk*Sock*Jam*Gallery*Fearless Fosdick? 13:05, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Green or blue?! I think my testicles just retracted into my abdomen. Yup, they're hiding. Thanks a lot. Now my gonch feel all loose. Bastard. --SirModusoperandiBoinc! 13:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
