Two featherless chickens peck around in some grass at the Hebrew University in Rehovot. Israeli scientists at the Agriculture department of the university have genetically engineered bare-skinned chickens as part of a research project to develop succulent, low fat poultry that is environmentally friendly. The naked chicken, as the bird has been dubbed, would also save poultry farmers large amounts of money on ventilation to prevent their chickens from overheating.

You can not make this stuff up. Create your masterpieces using elements from any of the pictures I posted above or below (I have included non-chicken pictures to make it interesting). You can also add your own photo to the mix, as long as you use something from these pictures.

Anything featuring Bush that makes me laugh at him more than usual may get special consideration, but do not let that stop you from doing something funnier.

Judging shall take place Wednesday night.

I dunno...

Is it me, or do all of Nate's pictures come up as Red "x." I couldn't see any of his entries into the last contest, either.

freeservers sucks as a host. If you look at the properties of the pic, you can go to that url and then when you come back it should show.

I'd be happy if anyone could sugest a free image host.

Never mind, found one myself.

Here's the image itself... this site's hosting should work better than freeservers since its designed that way, but if it doesn't work, don't sue me.

Dang promotion insert.

It's not just you, they're red x's to me too. But if I just copy the url of the image and open it in a new browser window, it works fine.

I can see your new image though Nate. Go villagephotos.com!

Did you steal that image from someone else or did your photoshopping skills suddenly improve a great deal?

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Photoshop 5 LE is much easier to use than PSP7. I understand the tools much better, and there's a "smudge" one that works well too. At any rate,
A) Skills have improved
B) I have better(actualy older) tools to use.
C) I didn't steal it! I drew the entire thing pixel by pixel, all myself! ;-)

I know the lens flare is an easy effect to do, but the adjusted lighting on Morpheus and the chicken is harder to do (well). Nice job.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Well there's another tool that will highlight adjust lighting tones in certain areas that works fairly well for lighting. I used it on the chickens back but Morpheus already had most of the proper lighting on him, and the flare finished the rest. Thanks for the complements!

BTW is there a technique for tracing objects other than a magic wand(which isn’t very magical and near useless) or freehand?

I finally get a night to photoshlock and there are naked chickens to work with!

I just wish I had been in time for B. E. Dave's contest too. That was rich.

I'm running out of ideas... I didn't have any to start with in this chicken contest...

Mr. Bush tries to sort out the confusion.

Sure to come if not already here...

That photo is actuly from an old press release about the guards at area 51 demanding better wages, in case you're interested. I forgot to insert the obligatory ufo.

I'm still using a few fark cliches because I havn't found any good b3ta ones so don't get on my case.

I'd better go to sleep.

wooyay I'm getting the hang of it.

The Loch Ness chicken, last seen devouring a certian Glaswegian.

I am yet to see an image that cannot be improved with a severed arm or two.

It lacks naked chickens, yes, but I thought these two images needed to be combined.

"Oh, look, a joke! How original! Thank you, but if I wanted my emotions stimulated pleasurably, I'd get a whore." - Donald B. Jones III

I was tempted to put in some speech bubbles, but I couldn't settle on just one. I may stick it in the caption forum.

For the original pic of Dubyah, as I was editing it, I kept hearing him saying, "...and then the second plane came in, like this, `Vrrroooommmm...'."

What the heck... my photos!

There appears to be an evil bandwidth cap on VillagePhotos... if you need to see the images once again for judging, tell me and I'll put a copy on freeservers.
