Game 211: Charles Darwin

view profile

9brandon  Pro User  says:

Next Tuesday is Charles Darwin's 199th birthday -- and what better way to celebrate his relevance to the modern age than with an evolving game of Photoshop Tennis?

The rules: keep it safe for work, and play nice with intellectual property, since the results will be posted on the Wired Science blog.

Have fun!

Darwin

Just a little color correction and added some atmosphere to the background to add a little more photorealism, :)

I'm glad someone fixed the ship. I've fixed the sky and added a few other bits of colour plus shadows.

Unfortunately the shoulder mounted friend doesn't appear quite so photorealistic as in the original B&W. Might be to do with the transition with the sky - anyone want to fix it?

I've added some cross vine. Darwin studied the movement of climbing plants in his late career. If you don't like it, feel free to ignore. :)

Ops, I really don't know what to do, it appeared as I was posting my last contribution.

Adding Michelangelo's portrait of the creation of man might be a little over the top... Maybe we should also add Michael Behe xD

What do you think? :S

Oh, the tail is a nice touch.

I can combine the two pictures pretty easily.

I didn't add the Michelangelo bit, just the light. Someone else added it, but posted in the pool and not in the thread.

What does Christ crucified have to do with Darwin (apart from the circuitous notion of religion). Sorry if I'm being picky. Now, if Darwin had a copy of the bible tucked into his coat below the lizard then that would have been much more subtle (he was a Christian, after all, and his own theory didn't sit so well with what the Bible says - a fact which he had to contend with). Ta da! And the bible appeared...

Even more subtle?
I propose to add this sketch of Darwin himself, his first diagram of an evolutionary tree... (Wikimedia)

Mythopoeikon says:

It looks nice

On other hand, I was thinking about putting some Discovery Institute dude, using some kind of projector device, for that bit with Michelangelo's creation of man. It should have been a clear parody as to the intentions of some creationist to portray their attempts as to supress Evolution Theory being taught on schools. But maybe that should have been a violation of © in Disco Tute's standards,,,

I dare say that this is one of the best photoshop tennis I've ever seen :D Kudos to everyone!

Just an allusion to the discussion between Darwin & Lamarck about giraffe's neck... Please play with it.

gingi0 says:

I added a picture of William Paley. Darwin believed in Paley's teleological argument for the existence of God. Personally, I think the title "Holy Bible" should be put back in. I mean, what is a "Zoology Bible"? Together with the Paley's portrait I think it will convey that Darwin wasn't totally anti-Christian. Let's not make the joke too obvious.

I also added some leaves so the crossvines don't look like they're hanging in mid-air.

cbnewham [deleted] says:

I agree - the Bible should be as it was with the subtle irony that I meant. The point is that Darwin was a Christian and the irony is that he developed a theory that directly challenges what the Bible says and what he originally believed in. If nobody changes it on the next edit I'll revert the title. I like your Paley reference gingi0.

You convinced me... Let's go back to the original title (and what a title!). I didn't understand the point before. Like in evolution : please get rid of what doesn't succeed. May the giraffe stay?

Now our long necked friend has the correct lighting. I've corrected the bible and defocused the ship slightly too.

QwirkSilver: That's very true. Still, that area of the image references Darwin's religious evolution (wow, bad pun).

It's actually quite good - the Bible is in front, then the picture, and behind that the diagram. Evolutionary thinking indeed.

My favorite picture is the one by wlauber. I think the monkey face on Darwin doesn't look so good and goes overboard with the concept. Not a big fan of the giraffe either, seems out of place.
