In tonight's photoshop matchup we have a 5-Way contest featuring Onanymous, Citania, cameon, Johnrmcconnell and solipsism. They have chosen ' FANTASY VII: EGYPT and Ancients 2' as the theme for their match and the stakes are bragging rights only.

The rules for this contest are thus:

We are going old school for this one, this contest will have the flavour of what the Victorians called "Orientalism", from the french: Moyen Orient...Middle East. From Egypt to Damascus, Sumeria to the Etruscan League, or anywhere in between, the art of that part of the world has influenced artists since time immemorial. Go to it. You can mix old and new, but it must have some kind of iconography from the area. (note: you can slip mayan-esque stuff in here too if need be, but save the the chinese/asian type far east for later)

Entrants should build any fantasy elements of their entry from scratch using non-fantasy sources (ie. DO NOT USE multimedia created by another artist like:
Paintings, CGI, Renderings, Fantasy Sculpture, Photomontages, Movie/TV images or Toys). Entrants MAY USE photos of scientifica, antiquities and renaissance-faire-like costumes. VOTERS should knock extra points off of entries in violation and particularly obvious abuses should be flagged for disqualification.
See upcoming contests page for further clarification.

As fantasy art is rarely photographic in nature all images are "to be judged on consistent style not necessarily photorealism", the goal of the contest is to create cool art, not a hoax. See the other fantasy H2H's for style hints.

Other regular photoshop rules apply with some wiggle
room for fabulous pictures containing images of strong willed women with questionable fashion sense.

All normal Worth photoshop rules apply unless otherwise stated above.

The players will have until 11:59 pm Worth time on Monday, August 31st to submit their entries, followed by a voting period of 3 days.

Competitors are reminded to maintain anonymity during the contest.

Good luck!
