Photoshop Contest: Reggie’s Birthday Adventure
Posted on March 27 2015 by Rod Lloyd
It is time, once again, for Zelda Informer’s weekly Photoshop contest!
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé celebrated his 54th birthday this week, so he no doubt went on some amazing adventures in celebration. We may never know exactly what he did for his big day, but we can guess using the magic of Photoshop. And while we get our bodies ready for this week’s challenge, we’ll look at last week’s contest: Zelda: The Mobile Game.
Last Week’s Contest
In lieu of Nintendo’s smart device news, fans were asked to pitch ideas for a Zelda mobile game.
Best Submissions
Artist: Pedro Vasconcelos
Artist: coffee
Artist: RyGuy
Artist: Peter Scholey
Artist: SyncZ
Challenge Mode
After much deliberation in our staff room, we’ve decided to award Kyle Ian Thomas as this week’s winner. Using only the images in our gallery he made a beautiful Zelda-Candy Crush game. This marks Kyle’s third Challenge Mode win in a row, making him a true champion.
While Kyle’s entry was ultimately the winner, artist SyncZ deserves some recognition for his entry, which came about an hour before Kyle’s and features a noticeably angrier Loftwing. We look forward to these two amazing ‘shoppers going head-to-head in this week’s contest.
This Week’s Contest: Reggie’s Birthday Adventure
Speaking of which: did you know it was Reggie Fils-Aimé’s birthday this Wednesday? It’s true! And in honor of the big man’s big day, we’re going to imagine up his magical birthday adventure. Where did he go? What did he do? It’s all up to you!
Take a look at the images in our gallery to find inspiration, and then give Reggie the best birthday he could have ever hoped to have. Maybe he spent a nice, relaxing day with friends? Or maybe he did something amazingly epic, as is his custom? Whatever the case, we know you fans have what it takes to give Reggie the best Nintendo COO birthday.
Deadline: Submit entries no later than next Monday at midnight: 11:59 p.m. PST on March 30. Entries submitted after this Deadline will not be considered.
Challenge Mode
For those that want to test their skills with something more challenging, we have a Challenge Rule for you to follow:
1. Your entry must include Link as Reggie’s adventure companion.
If you think you’re up to the challenge, include the phrase Challenge Accepted with your submission. Remember, Challenge Mode submissions follow the same rules and guidelines of the base Photoshop Contest in addition to the Challenge Rules.
Good luck!
