Reefster vs Mlkedave: Its go time ***** lol

[mlkedave]

Ok well reefster, hows it sound? You can set the theme, rounds and dimesions (if you perfer i can choose).

Mike

[REEF·]

Rules and Information
// It's go time b***h :opera:

Who: mlkedave and The Reefster
What: Photoshop Tennis Battle
Programs: Adobe Photoshop (as well as other graphic progs. i guess)
Dimension Limit: 1000 x 1000 max (the bigger the better lol)
Size Limit: None
Rounds: 3

The Idea: The idea is that we take a certain style we like (prefably from our personal websites whether created or to-be-created) and incorporate them into our serve/image/graphic that we create. So if a websites style is typography, we might (or probably will) mix that w/ our serve.

Theres no winner for this right? The purpose is to help us get ideas for our website am I correct?

Good Luck MlkeDave =) (I'll need my luck for hell)!

- ReEeF

[mlkedave]

yep no winner, just fun, (we all know who would be the winner lol jk)

whos going first?

[REEF·]

Yea I'm losing this one. I never battle. You go first, I have no idea how to start :P.

[mlkedave]

lol im just kdding wit u. alright ill try to have mine by tommorrow.

[mlkedave]

Here is my serve. I like to keep things simple in round 1, I went with the old-time, antique feel my portfolio is going to have. Here up reef.

[mlkedave]

Here is my serve. I like to keep things simple in round 1, I went with the old-time, antique feel my portfolio is going to have. your up reef.

http://www.ullmaneye.com/Round1.jpg

its go TIME ***** lol

[REEF·]

D*mn, thank you so much for this style. I love these types of graphics. I'll post mine tomorrow since I have homework :lol:.

(no psd needed)

[mlkedave]

so i guess u are going for the old-time look too? that should make for a cool battle. im pretty sure, if i was strapped for idea, i could use something like my serve as a header for a site... so i guess this battle for inspiration could work out.

[grinch]

Nice server dave, I like the simplicity. Good Luck Reef

[REEF·]

I'm not sure about my websites style mlkedave, it's just a style I like. I just restarted my website ( ;P ) because I found it wasn't working out, it looks much better now though.

Anyways, I'm working on the serve right now, I'll get back to you soon :thumb:.

[REEF·]

Ah, I need hosting :(. Lol.

[REEF·]

I tried :(. Ran out of ideas.

http://img263.echo.cx/img263/8851/return7gi.jpg

[mlkedave]

nice serve! thats pro reef

[REEF·]

Dont lie to me :a:. Lol, thanks mlke. Theres a whole bunch of hidden garbage in my serve :puzzled:.

[mlkedave]

lol na u really kicked some *** wit that one, now its my turn :)

*edit* you could use ur serve for a potential theme for your portfolio... right? I think it could make a pimp site. can you send psd to mullman@gmail.com

[REEF·]

I don't see what I can make into a header, so I made it into a footer :lol:.

*Edit: I don't have anything to make a portfolio with, even if this was the website, there would be no content in it*

*Edit 2: Oh crap, I thought it was a non-psd exchange battle. I flattened my image :d:. D*mn it man sorry I'll try to get the psd for you on the next one. I had no idea, I thought we were just taking the serves and cutting/editing out for ourselves. D*mn it so sorry!*

[mlkedave]

dont worry bout it, doesn't matter. i got some stuff in mind

[REEF·]

dont worry bout it, doesn't matter. i got some stuff in mindK cool :beam:. I await your next serve. Make it classy!

:thumb:

[mlkedave]

reef, for your portfolio, u can point ps battles, but without the little 'Round' and 'Versus' text and just call them experiments. I see a lot of people do just to buff their portfolio and show their potential.

[Tommy_S]

D*mn thing! How did you make it, Reefster? Argh! I want to know how to do such grunge things (I'm not so experinced, as you're, in this question). :trout:

e.g. How did you make the paper or was it already a ready-made paper? What effect you used for the text? How did you make the bg? lol, the whole image is a secret to me I must know. ;)

[UNFLUX]

very clever entry reefster, I really dig that a lot. I especially like the 'slice-n-shift' part on the bottle. ;)

[REEF·]

: Mlk - Yea that's a good idea. I just hope it doesn't piss of people and make people say "oh yea he's a wannabe, he doesn't have anything but a bunch of battles." You think it'll be a good idea to show off some images from battles (without the vs/round)?

: Tommy - I can't explain. I'll try my best. For the paper on the border? You can just simply make the shape and fill it in. You can also take photos from around the net and edit them. It's almost impossible to make this stuff without photos. I cant explain grunge, I didn't know this was grunge anyways. I thought it was a bunch of image editing. Theres only 1 brush in this whole graphic, and it's the 2 little circles at the bottom right due to sheer lazyness. The text was just blend modes. I forgot where to get the font, search around I guess. The little see though orange glaze was the blend modes and lighting effects. The bg? That's a image/texture lol. I can't tell you how I did it. You shoulda seen my psd before flattening it, man talk about 50 layers of sloppiness (i don't name them either haha). I sort of just put it together with a bunch of images, 99% images, 1% creativity. All I can say is go to a texture site and download some and apply it to what you create. This serve blows anyways. I hate the way it came out.

: Unflux - Thanks. Yea I remembered some website had scotch tape on it, and it just gave me the idea to slice the bottle up like tape shapes and shift em around. Wierd eh?

Nice serve Reef... but why would you ever flatten a PSD and save it... it sorta negates the fact of it being a PSD.

[REEF·]

Nice serve Reef... but why would you ever flatten a PSD and save it... it sorta negates the fact of it being a PSD.I know I feel dumb. I just didn't think either me or mlkdave would need the psd :puzzled:.

[simplistik]

I know I feel dumb. I just didn't think either me or mlkdave would need the psd :puzzled:.
True... you could always just send him the bottle, and paper... since those are the main elements. I'm sure he can do the circle texture... but he's already got his idea so he's all good.

[REEF·]

I cut the gold part of his clock out. I thought it was nice for some blingityblingbling and I put them at the bottom inside of the card image :lol: I had no where else to use em.

Anyways - If you want mlke, I can send you the bottle image. It's up on the same place where you took the clock image from :).

You mind to PM me the info too? I'd like to put this on a trend board that we do at work of different techniques and things of that nature, I'd like to show sorta just the base to the final :D

[REEF·]

PM you what?

[simplistik]

Oh... LoL... just the bottle link, I can drum up some paper... it'll be like a progressive scan of basically paper+bottle+grungy crap = beauty type of dealio.

[REEF·]

Lol no problem. It's a public place. I just hope you have an account!

http://sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=288850

Just a question, what the hell are you talking about with the progressive scan and your work and trend board, etc?

[simplistik]

What a trend board is... is a board of different styles from across the world type of deal. So we have like retro examples, tech examples, grunge examples... that type of deal. Now the difference between your grunge and say Tommy's is his is more common and easier to find on the web, as to where yours is more unique, and not as "trendy". By progressive scan I mean I'll just have small pics of the paper and the whiskey bottle, layed next to the final project to show how they were incorporated. It's an internal inspirational thingy we do, and I just think this would be a nice addition... of course at your disgression.

[REEF·]

Ah thanks that clears a lot up :D. Am I confused or are you saying you'll be posting up my serve on a board or something? Or does my serve have nothing to do with this (except the bottle)?

"Of course at your disgression"

- My disgression is yours :huh: lol. But I can't show you anything else as to I don't know where I found them :worried:. What paper are you talking about?

[simplistik]

Don't need to... see any more... the paper I was talkin about is like the newspaper clipping I can find something similar and the paper it's all on. As in a board... I just mean like cork board, not a web forum/board

[REEF·]

Ooo I gotcha now. Okay :).

[mlkedave]

i thought u were talking bout a web board that whole time. lol

[REEF·]

i thought u were talking bout a web board that whole time. lol:lol: Me too. Hows the serve coming?

http://www.ullmaneye.com/Round2.png

sorry for the wait

Mike

[grinch]

Lol! Nice dave, it's funny ;)

But hey, whenever you try to hard to find a good design, you wont get anywhere at all. I'd just sit back and listen to music, go for a walk, and don't think about it. And before you know it, you'll see a paper clip laying on the ground, and shout, "OMG! Thats it!" ;)

[mlkedave]

lol yea but reefsters been waiting for about a week, i couldn't do that to him! i would be pissed at me lol. i thought i worked out pretty good though.

[Vexir]

Awsome work guys, I just wish my battle was progressing as well... but nooo

[grinch]

Nice footer/avatar Vex!!! Love it

[REEF·]

After a week, how could you do that to me mlkedave!? I feel like more trash now that you put MY trash under that evil sign!

Edit: Disclaimer. Oops. I still feel like **** though ;P!

[mlkedave]

[Vexir]

Nice footer/avatar Vex!!! Love it

[REEF·]

Hey mlkedave, after I post my serve, do you want the psd this time?

[mlkedave]

[REEF·]

Nah it's cool man. I sent the .psd. Cartman rules :P.

http://img194.echo.cx/img194/3654/return20fp.jpg

[REEF·]

There wasn't much to use from your serve, so I took the wood frames, chopped em down really small and put them next to my photo polaroid. They are the brown lines/strips lol.

- Reef

[mlk]

excellent job Sharif on all your work, just what the hell are the weird looking pins for (diagonal brown lines) ?

[REEF·]

You mean on the left/right sides? Those 2 huge diagonal lines? I have no clue how the hell that happened, I can't find the layer which contains it to remove it. Hope it doesn't make it look bad :(.

-

Edit: Removed them :sen:.

[simplistik]

Edit: Removed them :sen:.

CHEATER! Nice serve again though...

[REEF·]

CHEATER! Nice serve again though...What? They were just 2 innocent black lines, which I thought was some sort of a bug because I never put them there. I can't cheat on something I can't win/lose on :beam:.

[mlkedave]

sorry about the wait guys but some really stupid **** has come up. It WILL be done by Saturday.

[grinch]

This is one of the slowest battles I've seen, (next to my 3d Robot one ;)) :P

[REEF·]

Slow battle we've done 2 rounds already. Vexirs one barely started with 2 :P. And you're robot one goes on and off ;P.

[Vexir]

That looks great mlkedave! Love the style, just have no idea how to comeback :P.

--

The f**k!?!?!? What are you talking about mlke? Aids? Delete your profile?

[mlkedave]

LOL, a friends over and he was ****ing around wit me. sorry about that lol

by the way, i realize with the tiles it would probably be hard to edit what i did so do u want the psd?

[REEF·]

Naw I'm good, a true photoshopper has and knows his power of...erasing!

Lol thanks anyways. Sorry if I serve a little late, I have to work on that steven_jd battle, but I'm just so busy right now.

[mlkedave]

lol take as much time as possible! after the wait i gave u, u deserve it.

wow this is depressing, no comments lol...

[REEF·]

Well I for one think it's great (you always have the best text blending/effects). I'm stoked on how to comeback.

:drool:

[mlkedave]

well thanks, u sure u dont want psd or the original image? Im sure ur return will burn me

[REEF·]

Nah man, I used your image just a tad bit to get a certain color. It's in there but it's blended so much you won't recognize it. Without your image I probably wouldn't get this color result. But d*mn, this is the weakest of all 3, you burned me i'd say. Couldn't think of anything! Weak weak weak.

(final serve on next post)

[mlkedave]

yea yea, lets see it, ull probably bust out something crazy. Yeah i barely used ur image, except the organge kinda overlay.

[REEF·]

Ok here it is then, it's called "Tru Beauty: Emerges In the Bedroom." Go ahead and laugh.

http://img8.echo.cx/img8/6898/serve9wn.jpg

[mlkedave]

thats nice, i dont know what ur talkin bout, i like this one more than serve 2. I think the typography is pimp

*edit* i DONT think Michael Jacksons true beuty though lol *edit*

[REEF·]

I couldn't think of anyone more beautiful than Michael Jackson (supposed to be humor/sarcasm lol, he looks like a woman). Finally we're done with my *** kicking thank god.

[mlkedave]

STFU lol, asskicking, ok well i know we said no polls or whatever, but we should at least organize the serves so people dont have to browse through 7 pages

[REEF·]

Okay should we set up a poll on a new thread? Or just the serves? Or what?

[mlkedave]

Whatever u want to do, im just not doing it, im too lazy lol


Okay should we set up a poll on a new thread? Or just the serves? Or what?

[REEF·]

Okie poll for kicks like you did with grinch.

[mlkedave]

sounds good, great battle.
