Graphics Challenge #12: Enter Here

[THE True Lara]

My apologies for keeping people waiting, but my brain is currently on hiatus, and all that remains is a deck of cards and a story about a penguin lost in a department store.

So, in the absence of any better ideas the new challenge is Magic & Illusion. I can think of three ways how you can interpret it; i) something drawn from the magic and illusion side of the entertainment industry, ii) something magical from the fantasy genre, iii) some kind of visual illusion. Or all 3!? But that's just off the top of my head, please, interpret it how you will, I'm hoping the challenge is broad enough for everyone to get an angle on.

The image below is less of an entry, and more something to clarify what I'm waffling on about.

-the elements here being, Derren Brown (all time fav psychological illusionist! ;) ), the vase illusion, 3 of diamonds trick, phrenology, etc, etc, ... you get the idea, right?

So, anyway, Good Luck all!
-And let the weirdness begin! :D

Don't allow yourself to "go stale" on your act. Keep up your enthusiasm! There is nothing more contagious than exuberant enthusiasm, and it's sure to "get" an audience.

Here's an optical illusion from nature. The tree shows a face but only if you look at it at a certain angle, so I took a picture of it.

I added some eyes just to make Catsuit freak out. :D

Here is my entry. It is entitled 'The Three Sisters'. It is a fantasy representation of the three Shakespearian witches from Macbeth and therefore comes into the magic category. :)

*a black and red streak screams past dhama's post, gets sparks in her 'tail at staticon's, and hisses as she bolts through the cobwebs of DEEKMAN's ; makes a running leap into AmO's safe lap*

*makes bread, purrrrurrrs, curls in a ball, goes to sleep with one eye slitted slightly,.....something about Deek's post makes her watchful*

[THE True Lara]

Great stuff so far all! :)
Some really inventive ideas going on here, too! ;)

[AmO]

AmO pets cat and gives her a bowl of cream to sooth her poor nerves...there there sweetie, everything will be alright..:)

Dhama ... the tree looks so sad and DEEKMAN I just love the eyeball!:D

As we haven't seen any new entries here for 5 days now, I'm going to give it one more week for people to enter, then I'm going to start the polling.
I don't want to let it drag on, but equally I'm hoping there are still a few people working on something they desperately want to submit :D
Sound fair?

So last entries must now be in by Monday 19th May.
Come on! -Any more want to flex their graphical muscles? ;)

[DaveJ]

Sorry to barge in...TTL - have you recieved 2 PM's from me this last weekend? They aren't showing up on my message tracking at all!

[THE True Lara]

Yes I have love, I just haven't been round long enough to reply to them yet
..I will though ;)

[dhama]

Might be time for voting then?

[THE True Lara]

Don't worry I hadn't forgotten, :p I've just been out all day.
I'm here now though, so I'll get the poll up and running.
