There is an inversion between dots 292 and 293! We can clearly see it on Aliaksei's picture.

Good catch... we are allowed to fix of course on our own...

Ah, perhaps Alexey can add a disclaimer to the main post under or over the image-links:
Note: 292 and 293 are in the wrong order and can be corrected freely.

Just looking at the finished one I have a feeling this is going to be a hard one. :)

I believe this little crocodile-monster lives in the Opera House sewers.
Comment has been collapsed.
In hindsight, when I look at this I keep getting reminded of Futurama, but I don't know why. Is it the colours or the style? Does anyone else get that feeling?
Comment has been collapsed.
Now that you mention it.
Might be the background lighting and the colours.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah yeah, of course the background comes into play a bit. Just did a zoom-blur with some tweaks and colour correction. Wasn't intentional. :P

Another fully done manual.
Materials:
About 200 popsicle sticks
30 large wooden craft sticks
About 15 pages of heavy metallic cardstock paper, 5 colors
4 pages of blue stationary paper for water
3 pages of leafy green stationery paper
5 pages of gold glittery sticker paper for city landscape
6 little wooden lighthouses and one big one
About 25 hours to make-- 3D relief picture
Turned out prettier than I imagined....
Real size 2 foot by 2 1/2 foot !!

Nobody would belive such stories. 4xmple, Jeff won't call my Kizi as 'spaceship landed on lake's island'.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wouldn't even have the patience to cut those buildings in the background that neatly. :O
Comment has been collapsed.
It required much more patience to cut all the wooden sticks to size and shape! And I have several filled with puss blisters on my fingers from burning myself from the glue gun!!
Comment has been collapsed.
That's what I mean, I wouldn't have the patience for even the easiest bit. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I admire your patience and of course the creativity!
Looks awesome, just waiting for the playdoh-aliens to walk around.....because it's a spaceship ofc, why does nobody see it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not even escollo saw it as a spaceship, and he looks for it everywhere. :P

Damn, have to post after Jeff again ;(

And how can I do better than Garfield?
Very, very nice!
Love how the colors and shape copy Garfield!! Ingenious!
Comment has been collapsed.
Very nice idea! You wouldn't even need to put the real Garfield there for reference. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I loooove Garfield. I can relate so much to him. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Aww, maan!
Why nobody submitted anything similar to what I have in mind?
I'd like to do this as it's the only landmark I've been to (of all the proposed up to now) but that would have lift the "burden" of doing it from me oh, somebody else did it already.. well, next time then! =P
Also, I've not finished organizing the next Let's Train yet, so I don't know if I'll materially have the time to join.. (either that or I have to postpone the event)
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, sometimes you want to be quick posting something, because you think others will have the same idea, and you don't want to look like a copy-cat, and I guess sometimes you want others to have the same idea so you can blame that on not doing it. ^^
But now I'm intrigued, what is your idea? :O
Comment has been collapsed.
Looking at the countdown I realized I still have 2 days! I may be able to finish something in time so I'm not telling you at the moment =P
Nothing comparable to your or other entries I've seen though D:
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow just hope everyone is waiting till last minute to submit... as we don't have many submissions!

I'm starting the white house later, then I have to find somthing for sydney...
Comment has been collapsed.
Im starting white house today... won't have the time I had that I put into Sydney...
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't connected the dots yet but definitely planning to try and submit something. I just didn't have time during the week :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, I'm still lazy ass. Besides Skyrim just can't play itself, somebody have to do it. And why did I even buy 'Day of the Dev' bundle?
Comment has been collapsed.
Everybody and their brother is playing Skyrim!
But nobody and their sister isn't doing this event...
Comment has been collapsed.
Reminds me a bit of what it can look like during one of the light shows.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow each time you zoom in the pattern changes! Neat effect!
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you draw it on lined paper? Looks great as always.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, there was just a paper left(which I did not know) in the printer from last weeks bridge. I used some old schoolpaper since I would be cutting most of it out.
There is a table on the back and that comes through ever so slightly. It just is more visible on the scanned image.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did as fast as I could..
colouring could have been done better, I know :\
Added the sentence right before the end but I'm not sure it fits.. *shrugs*
Hope nobody's offended by this, it was not my intention.. just a silly joke =P
Comment has been collapsed.
So funny ^^
Should have said "Greetings from Down under" perhaps, to really nail the joke. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, there won't be any because I didn't save the project file (don't know why, as I aways save it, or keep it open for hours.. I have lot of project saved which I won't be using ever again or total crap I don't even know why I've saved it)
..but not this time!
Comment has been collapsed.
Just download the pic from here and add at bottom. "in the land down under!"
Comment has been collapsed.
Like this?
Now I don't know which one submit =P
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I wouldn't have got the reason why it was upside down until you guys said it... but if the additional part at bottom was there I would have understood...
Thus I think it's better to put it... but it's up to you because it could be just that I'm just dumb..., lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey I just thought of an idea... maybe Nordhbane can make first pic be the one without it... then when click in gallery to see large pic have the one with extra sentence at bottom!
Edit: My bad, sorry...

Let's not make suggestions that require me to manually change files on the server, shall we? :P It's work enough as it is whenever someone does a gif-animation since the server can't handle animation-uploads. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Since you're in the mood of changing things, perhaps make the bottom text bend in the same manner as the top text, so it goes upwards in the botttom right corner the same way it goes downwards in the upper left. Makes it a bit more symmetrical (which is something I personally like).
When you've figured out which one to use, add it to your post here so I know which one you want to submit. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I do like it, very much so. I've lived Down Under for quite some years. Saw the Opera house and the "Coat Hanger" last Wednesday out of the plane on leaving.
Comment has been collapsed.
Been there for a bit more than a month.. loved it! I'd like to go there again someday :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess there's an opera going on. :)
I really like how the colours shift on the big "ventilation-shaft-thingies". Almost like how oil reflects light.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh wow, it's so pretty! I love the result, I'm curious how you achieved such a cool result :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Uh... I'm not sure :P It's a mishmash of filters & actions that turned out somewhat decent ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
This is very very nice :)
Love the whole Opera feel.
Comment has been collapsed.
Crap, I'm only finished contour and there is a hell lot of work left. >/<
So here is something different instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
Little known fact is that the Sydney Dishwasher House inspired the architect who won the competition to build the Opera House. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, fuck it. I shouldn't take this idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
Usually contour is easy part. And if I spent so much time on it I just don't know how much colours would take.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just opened photoshop. I hope I can wrap up something before the deadline :/
Comment has been collapsed.
A spaceship disguised as car O.o
Comment has been collapsed.
countdown says there are less than 3 hours left. So I'll post mine (no color)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup. To quote a great artist "If you feel that something is done lazily, that' because it's done lazily." ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I absolutely love your work. What progrm do you use? I fight with paint and some effect from FotoSketcher occasionally, apart from the few times I printed it out to do something manually. But I can never get the effect I would really like. You surprise me each week with your creations. Can't wait to see te next one. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the kind words. I only use photoshop, which is all I have, but I never really get the result I'd like either. I had never heard of fotosketcher but I googled it and wow it does some pretty cool stuff!
Comment has been collapsed.
But still in time. :)
Interestingly enough, what I like the most is how you created the city lights in the background, alternating horizontal and vertical "lines". Gives it a nice effect.

If you feel that something is done lazily, that' because it's done lazily.

Opera is unsymmetrical. If I've done it symmetrical you would complain again. I've already delete more than expected.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was more refering to the jagged one at the bottom. Not that there's one missing. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Had some ideas for both pictures but no time to do them :'(
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm curious about the ideas you had, perhaps you can post them when challenge is over?
Comment has been collapsed.
for the opera house i had the idea for some alien-spacesuit kind of thing,so the opera house is 3 helmets of some alien humanoids.
for the white house i wanted something like your idea where Clinton and Trump tear apart the white house or another idea is some kind of recreation of the independence day movie
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, cool. Thanks for sharing! :) And I like the sketches, it's kind of how I do it in my brain before I start.
