The White House Challenge!

Right before our next election, a perfect time for this challenge. The White House is home and office to one of the most powerful and influential families in the world. It's no wonder it's become a well known landmark.

Where: Washington, D.C., United States
What: The official home and primary workplace of the President of the United States.

Interesting facts:

  • The White house has been the residence of every President since the second John Adams, meaning only George Washington did not live in the White house during his Presidential term.
  • It was burned in the war of 1812 in 1814 and had to be reconstructed. James Madison resided in the Octagon House and the Seven buildings during it’s reconstruction.
  • Theodore Roosevelt created the West Wing and moved work offices to it to deal with overcrowding. William taft Then expanded The wing and added the Oval Office. | Page on that
  • The East Wing, as it exists today, was added to the White House in 1942 primarily to cover the construction of an underground bunker, now known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC). The East Wing is typically where visitors will go, and acts a office space for the President’s spouse. | Article on the East Wing
  • In 2007, it was ranked second on the American Institute of Architects list of "America's Favorite Architecture," behind the Empire State Building.
  • You would assume a building host to so many important people would have tight security, but there has been at least 91 breaches in security since 1980. | Another Article | Wikipedia List

Here is an Interactive Tour.

GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking masterpieces of the White House for some awesome GA wins!

Cool pics of landmark:

I see a square with a text written three times in different languages (english, chineese and klingon) that says "I really love it, it's one of the greatest masterpiececes I've ever seen. To appreciate your work I created a fund with $100 000 just for you to use it at any time. Feel free to ask for more if it runs out. This is what I really mean and this is exactly what I wrote here, not just a blank square or an emoji".

My submission-- "White House Snow Fall!"

Again went manual:

Materials:
Toilet Paper for bushes
20 Cottonballs for snow
4 Cotton Swabs Q-tips for curtain rods
4 Medical Gauze for curtains
3 White binder clip holders for building details
40 white craft beads for building details between binder clips
20 popsicle sticks
White metallic cardstock for snowflakes

When I got all the materials and content I wanted I realized coloring required would be next to NIL! ;)

It's the same as milk, but when you drink it, there's an "f" instead of "k" in the end.

So you must be talking about a person with a lisp drinking milk that some one asks, "Hey, what you drinking?" And they reply....

"milf!" As the milf dribbles down the side of their mouth...

Want to learn how you do that lighting effect... you did it with castle too right? (Disney)

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

It's pretty simple actually. I made a separate layer on photoshop, picked a light yellow color, a round soft (hardness 0%) extremely big brush and pressed once centering where i wanted my light source to be. Then I erased out all the parts where i didn't want the light to be and played a little with the layer mode & opacity til I found something i was satisfied with. There's better ways to do it but I was lazy.
