Ok, this will need a little background info so that y'all don't think I'm completely crazy :)

Last night I was on AIM with [livejournal.com profile] tresca, and we were discussing, among other things, who sucked more at photo manips and graphics in general. She showed me some of her work (including an awfully disturbing Bitney manip *shudder*), but really, they weren't half bad. Funny, maybe, but not bad :) So we came up with the "Suck At Graphics" award, and her first challenge to me was: Lex... with bunny slippers, a feather boa, a wet suit, and a tiara.

So see, it's all tresca's fault :)




You don't have to tell me it's bad... I already know. Besides, that was the point, wasn't it? :)

I wanted to put him in the castle, but I didn't find a nice image to use as background. Plus, his head's a little big, and the tiara's crooked (but you can just imagine that it's because it keeps slipping). It's actually a really pretty tiara, but it doesn't really stand out on Lex's head... Oh well. At least the 'dillo's there *g*


So, tresca said the prize was Lex. I want him. Now. Preferably in that outfit :) And now it's tresca's turn. Can't wait to see what she comes up with ;)

Extracted from AIM:

tresca: Poor Lex. I am *so* mean to him.
maricats: Hey, how do you know he wouldn't like it??
tresca: You're absolutely right! I don't! Maybe Clark likes it too...
maricats: Get him out of his routine... Make his life a little more interesting. What's the good of having money if you can't be, um, eccentric?
tresca: Oh yes! I forgot! He's the eccentric old man in the castle!
maricats: Little kids will make bets on who has the guts to knock on his door... They'll TP his castle...
tresca: And spread stories about his hump.
maricats: See? We're just giving him a hand... Giving the kids something to talk about.
maricats: We're mean :)

Glad to be of service :) If you need bad manips, I'm definitely the person to come to!

I showed you mine, now you have to show me yours! *bouncebouncebounce* Can't wait! Hee ;)

Heh. I'm working on it. I made the mistake of attempting it at about 3am last night. And well, the results fit in both the "Graphics that Suck" *and* the "Why God WHY" category.

Lex must hate me.

I'm offline for one day and you go all crazy with the Photoshop! Damn, girl!

But heh, you win the contest, hands down :) I'll be sure to send Lex over to you... As soon as I'm done with him, of course ;)

All crazy is the operative word.

I don't want to be declared winner yet. I just want the "fun" to continue!

Dude! I wanna play!

I can be mean to Lex, too! :)

I'm pretty sure none of you are as mean as me - The result of a hideous meteor rock induced merging of Lex and Lana. (http://uk.photos.yahoo.com/bc/elvichar/vwp?.dir=/&.src=ph&.dnm=lexlang.jpg&.view=t&.done=http%3a//uk.photos.yahoo.com/bc/elvichar/lst%3f%26.dir=/%26.src=ph%26.view=t)

Now that is just... *wrong*. Poor Lex... I wonder if that's what their kids would look like??

Should I consider this a submission to the "Suck At Graphics" award? ;)

Yeah. It took a lot of hard work - but I will be the first to admit it sucks in oh so many ways.

It doesn't have to suck to be nominated for the award! It just has to have, um, *interesting* results ;) I didn't mean that it sucked, really. It doesn't!

We really have to change the title of the award... ;)

May I suggest the 'Why - Dear God Why?' Award.

Good name! I see it's already being used :) You should check out [livejournal.com profile] tresca's entries. Fun fun fun!

Play! Play! The more the merrier :)

Hey, if we get enough submissions, maybe we could put up a website! Complete with really bad design (or at the very least tacky). We just have think of a cool name... "Dress Up Lex Luthor" is the only thing that I can think of, and I have a feeling that this will be anything *but* DULL. Hee :)

Oops! Sorry, Lexual... I should have put up a "might be hazardous to health" warning :) Here, this (http://www.smallvillenews.com/WBP/Season_2_Promo/images/SM02-010.jpg) should make your eyes better. A nice strong dose of The Sexy :)

Yay!

Wheee! He looks so proud of himself in that get-up. Excellent work. I think Lex enjoyed it, myself. Do it some more. Hee!

He does look proud, doesn't he? Staring off into the sky like that... "Superman thinks he's the only one who gets to dress up, thinks he's so *special* wearing his underwear over his pants... See this, Superman? *This* is what a super-outfit should look like!"

Um, your icon's suddenly giving me ideas... MickeyMouseEars!Lex should be fun! ;)

BWAH! This is Lex's "special" outfit.

Bwahahahaha. So what does he do? Fight crime by scaring people away??

Re: Yay!

No, hon, this is Lex's criminal mastermind outfit. The slippers make him extra quiet, and the wet suit helps him, um, slip easily into tight places ;) The feather boa and the tiara are just pretty... He never gets caught because crimefighters either a) run away scared; or b) hurt themselves laughing :)

Except for Superman. He kind of likes it... ;)

Heee heee hee. You're so right!

I thought criminal masterminds wore masks, though?

Glad you liked it :) Poor Lex, indeed!

Now see...

*I* think Lex should wear bunny slippers with Armani at all times. Oh no, I have a terrible desire to attempt to draw this now. What have you done!

Wheee! Draw it, draw it! *bouncebouncebounce* Hee, this seems to have started a tidal wave... Poor Lexy!
