The doll's head please, that was one that I would have loved to have done

not to get off of the topic all the way, but my style has changed lately. so ,is that outside of the box e-nuff 4 ya? i know its weird and all but this topic just kinda struck me as ironic. hell i'm down with some funness is that a word? must not be it's underlined in red uhh yeah should i go to sleep now?

I like the idea 2rey, may get me chopping again...but once a week is a little much, once a month would be cool and if this is being considered seriously, lets get it done thru the mods and stuff so we can have a good set of rules and the source could be random like it is now, just a different pool of images?

force people uh ?bad spirit here :)
good idea otherwise

Force is just another word for: Giving the opportunity to think outside the box, Ledirlo

You are not forced to do anything, nobody makes you chop...

I think it's a great idea, lets do it.

ok anna I'll force you to dive into the Seine so you have an opportunity to learn to swim ;)

great Idea I said it will show the improvements or opposite

Excellent idea!
er... except I still don't have any ideas for chopping.... yet.

O.K., I changed it to Let's "help" people. How's that?
The word force was not meant like we were going too hold someone down and make them do it. It just meant we were going too eliminate all the simple ideas so that they have no other choice but to come up with something different. In other words...........? Forced
I think once a month is enough. We don't want to make anyones brain explode.
Hey Mods.. How can we set this up?? Can ya help us out? Proc?? Billtvshow? Bueller?? Bueller?? anyone?? anyone?? Bueller?? Mcfly??

In other words, people are starting to get really bored with the majority of idea's lately? ~ this is true! ~ let's start thinking outside the box and try to be more original with idea's. but don't forget sometimes the quality of a chop is important too"

Do you think Bluefist might still have all the originals from 5 years ago? That would be cool, a real revival of things, because hardly anything of those days is left to look at these days.

Good idea for a topic Rey2!

As far as ideas go, I agree that the chops now are not quite as ingenious as some have been in the past.

Here's is a prime example:

I'd love to see some great ideas like YerPalAl's get thrown around in this thread! w00t! Bring on the creativity!

This one could be fun, it is from september 2004

Let's get it done
Your going to hate me when you are pulling out your hair trying to think of something new. But it should be very interesting.
By the way, Out of the box does not mean to just do something different than you normally do. It means to come up with an idea that makes people say, "how does he/she come up with these ideas?". A real clever twist on the source image. Not just turning it into a painting or a beautiful piece of art. That is ok for contests but this contest should be clever idea or twists that are the strong point of the image. Does that make sense to everyone???
