By the way alethos, your image was on geocities and would harm you on getting votes so I hosted it on my server for voting purposes! =)

[telekinesis]

Hey, I'm winning, oh wait....that's my vote. Doh! :P

[alethos]

Thanks for the hosting, Dan!

Oh and you got my vote. I don't care what you say, but your submission r0x0rz my b0x0rz.

[telekinesis]

wow! Thank you for the compliment alethos, does anyone else want to host an image on my server in exchange for a vote lol. I got a vote from another competitor, I will instead vote for you alethos in apt to your honor!

[Marc]

My vote goes to electrongeek:

You get my vote totally for metalic 3d complexity. How on earth did you get the reflection effect so precise?

[DDD]

I could not see electrons so (unless he made that cute lil red x) my vote goes to dan.

[telekinesis]

all the links work perfect, i just tried each one out....try again

[DDD]

LOL!

I wasn't voting for you cuz of the hosting, dood. I really do like yours the best. Great work. To Kei and ElectronGeek too! This was my first ever abstract work. I found it a LOT harder to do (my mind it too literal to come up with abstract art) than I had originally thought.

-Al <:}

[ahmed]

pretty hard to vote:beam:..
i voted to kei anyways.. tho i can see that more effort was put into the others' ,i really liked the way his look =)...

[telekinesis]

Will all the participants in this battle post their programs used and time taken for their entry. I'll post mine below:

Programs: 3ds max 5 & Photoshop 7
Time: 60-80 minutes

[reverendflash]

I voted Alethos...

kinda tweaked... I like that...

Nice use of perspective.

[alethos]

Thanks reverendflash. Dunno what you mean by "tweaked", but I'll take it as a compliment. :)


Programs: Alias|Wavefront Maya 4 & Good Ol' Photoshop 7
Time Taken: ~6 hours

[reverendflash]

alethos:

by tweaked, I mean it as a compliment...

it just looks like something that has been squirming along the floors of some space derelict, waiting for an innocent victim to come on board, just looking for salvage...

wow, im trying to decide between dan and althelos the other 2 seemed too crowded out for me
decision decision decision

edit-->ima go with althelos on this one i love the complexity of it

[ILLology]

Nice electrongeek!:sigh:

[kei]

Hey u finally posted dan!! :P
and ur work is very nice!! :)

I think i took more time trying to render everything on my **** comp than actually working on it! hehe

anyways i used 3D Studio Max 3.1 and Adobe Photoshop 5

i dunno how long it took me to make this but def <5 hours..

thnx to those who voted for me :D

[eyeinfinitude]

Very nice work everyone, I used Cinema 4D and Photoshop for my entry and it took me about 2 hours to make. The longest part was to render it which took 30 min. :-\

[hojo]

i voted for alethos, great work!

[pom]

All 4 works are very good, bravo. But Al's "thing" looks really good. I love the perspective and the blur of it. Kinda reminds me of the field that the Prince has to cross to get to the castle in "The sleeping beauty" :beam: Hey, it's Christmas, folks. Time for Disney cartoons!

[mdipi]

lol! pom...anyway i voted dan...i loved the deep colors...blew my mind, especially for 1hr! good job.

[alethos]

Thanks for the compliments, guys!

This is turning out to be a pretty close battle. This is how all battles should be...nail-biters!

I like Dan's most because it is dynamic, yet reserved, and well balanced overall. Simply elegant, but with an undercurrent of action and complexity. To top it all off, it humbles me to think it was done in one-sixth of the time it took to do mine.

I like kei's cityball thing, but I think the snowboarder throws the whole composition off. Also, although as a wall paper the contrast is good because it doesn't interfere with icons on screen, I find it too washed out for my taste.

Electrongeek's is a wonder of reflections and simple geometry. I like the little details he's added in Photoshop like the little "+" signs and the white squares. I am not fond of the static nature of the piece, however. It is exactly what he calls it, an alien stone, and as such, it has no movement. While some may not find action as exciting as I, my feeling is that his piece would be much better if there was some movement or the anticipation of such.

Great work, all of you. I would be very much interested in more detailed explanations of all three, and another battle along the same lines, but with a subtle theme thrown in. Any takers? ;)

-Al

[kei]

wow.. its so close!

even if electron geek wins here i would like a rematch with all of u :bad:

next time with longer time and effort by all of u!

[Tazo]

wow all of them look really good, I wish I could do that kind of stuff. I voted for geek's since I like the composition and color. Good job! :P

[sintax321]

I voted alethos. Any thing made in 3d that is organic looking gets my vote before straight lines and metal. My second choice would have been kei. I have that image as my Desktop BG now. I loved the extruded sphere. Lokked like a ball of TV's or something

[Makaveli]

electon's does't load for me so i won't vote until i can actually see his

[reverendflash]

good to see you back Sintax...

[bcogswell11]

I voted for kei's. I really like his design, and I love the snowboarder going over the mountains and stuff. Great job to all though!

-brad-:evil:

[Kitiara]

That's one of the closest battles I've seen. Seriously all of those entries are absolutely fantastic. Me, I couldn't do a 3D image if I tried. :)

But, my vote has to go to someone... And I've gone for Alethos. There's just something alien about it, like you're inside a virus or something. Kinda like those DNA helixes you see, only this is more... I want to say something like "bacterial", but that doesn't really fit... Words escape me for now.

Hats off to all four of you though. The metal things are great, really sharp and soooo cool.

[Makaveli]

as a background i would go with dans.....

Definitely ElectronGeek for me. It's amazing. I know al put it a ton more time and I'm assuming more effort (AND wow it paid off), but geeks thing iis just too eye appealing for me.

[Didiusthegreat]

Allright, this is a hard one:

Who would I take Dan or Electrongeek??
Hard decision, but electrongeek made it.. Gongrats..

I have chosen electrongeek...
The reflections are very nice...
The light-effects...

Just great...

[h88]

50 votes....

[Guig0]

All of them were exellent. really!

but geek and alethos really outdone themselves here. Was very hard for me to choose one:-\

I voted for alethos cause the colors on his work are more appealing to me and the elements of his work seemed to me a bit more original and organic to me.


Congrats dan, kei, geek and alethos! really good job!:)

[Andy]

my vote is for electrongeek, victory is now 3 votes away.

[h88]

This is my favorite battle so far, 52 votes till now... :beam:

[eki]

Hi,

I don't get to see electrongeek's entry. Could you (electrongeek) fix it please? The image doesn't load.

Cheers

SHO

[eyeinfinitude]

Sorry eki, this battle is over so that's why I took it down, but I just put it back up so it should be working now. =)

[eki]

Hi,

Thank you electrongeek!

BTW, very nice! Not my cup of tea(I'm not into design trends) but it really shows your skills. Well done.

Cheers
