This was a theme guided battle, where the theme changes every round. Note, it's not a tennis. Good battle steve :).

Round 1: Theme: anything revolving sadness

(steven_jd: african boy)

http://img273.echo.cx/img273/2327/serve15jc.jpg

Round 2: Theme: anything revolving a movie

(steven_jd: to k-town)

(reefster: batman begins, yet again)
http://img17.echo.cx/img17/5770/serve20pd.jpg

Round 3: Directions: Create a header for a pretend portfolio, relating to the battle, with an element from at least one of your previous images, with buttons and anything to give it significance.

I voted for steve, so I can see the results lol.

[Jeff Wheeler]

Although Reefster's photoshopping was slightly better in my opinion, I thought Steve stuck to the themes better (especially to the first one). Steve got my vote.

You must not have payed attention to the last one then hu? Reefs 1st displays death... and death is sad. 2nd and 3rd are self explanitory. I'd have to say Reef was much more on track. And slightly is an understatement... but that's just IMO

[Jeff Wheeler]

Sorry... people are complaining about my decision. I'll delete my post, but obviously I cannot remove my vote.

[silent.gear]

voted for reef.

[mdipi]

Reefster

[RadioactveChimp]

i wonder is reef will win because his stuff was good, or because he's loved by kirupians?

[simplistik]

Complaining? Just commenting... that's all... you see it how you see it... I see it how I see it.


i wonder is reef will win because his stuff was good, or because he's loved by kirupians?
he is? I think he'll win cause his work is better in this battle... that's just me though... and well... I'm just silly like that.

[DDD]

reef brought this one home. And I particularly dont care for the guy :lol: but a win is a win. :beam:

[2nd day]

i voted for the reefster... but i was a hard disission to make...

props for both of you!

[Julio_Ivan]

Well...well.. check out our Mod at BB forum battling it out At KF...
verry nice son:)

[arifkamalzaidi]

I really loved the first n second post of steven .. sticking to the topic n making his skills count .. 3 one was a bit of .. reef did a better job in that .. but 2 out of 3 .. i think i m gonna vote for steven .. :) but sexy work by reef too .. gotta give that guy credit as well .. both u of can date me now :P

[REEF·]

i wonder is reef will win because his stuff was good, or because he's loved by kirupians?Thanks chimp. How come arif votes for steven? They are like best friends on bbf, and julio_ivan from bb has 7 posts here, so he justs another member from BBF who just voted for steve. Stewball has 2 posts, once again he voted for steve. So how can you hold me on account for getting votes just because kirupians love me, which I find hard to believe. Steven is on my home turf, so isn't it easy to say I should have a hometown advantage on the challenger?

You probably think I suck huh.

[DDD]

IMO, reef mopped the floor with him on this one. You can see that reef has a higher understanding of design and PS through his compositions.

[Vexir]

Reef got it, but that grungy style is getting old dude.

[REEF·]

Yea yea yea but for the first serve there was absolutely no grunge :P.

[Vexir]

Just because its got no grunge brushes doesn't mean its not grungy. Its got that old grainy style half wooden sort of look, argh, how do I explain it? Grungy describes it best!

[grinch]

Reef and I don't have the best chemistry together, but I still voted for him, great job guys.

[REEF·]

Reef and I don't have the best chemistry together, but I still voted for him, great job guys.Do you always have to mention that lol.

Vexir, I think you mean a vintage look?

[Steven_jd]

oh come on Reef you have 18 votes and i have 6 my work isn't that bad you know you have 5056 post and i have 72 post Michael told me that the guys over here would be fair but i guess he was wrong ! but anyways nice battle Reef

[simplistik]

Michael told me that the guys over here would be fair but i guess he was wrong ! but anyways nice battle ReefOMG don't blame us for liking Reef's work better... you got beat... if you think it's unfair put it on BBf see what they say. Why can't you just be humble... we didn't say your work was bad... we just liked someone else's better. WHen I was in WebAgeddeon vs BBf I crushed your BBf dude... so clearly it's not an unbalanced thing.

[unchew]

Posts don't make him better, you are judging us wrong dude. Why don't just admitt you lost instead of telling us we aren't fair judges.

[Vexir]

You can't use the ratio of the votes to judge how we think of you. I really liked your images. Reef's werent THAT much better than yours, but they were still slightly better.

[Steven_jd]

guys i don't want to start a fight i'm just saying ppl will vote for reef over me cuz he is there friend i won't lie i would if i had a friend that ask me to there is no problem in that and i know that you all did this at some point so don't come down on me for telling the truth and UNCHEW i did lost but 7 to 20 dosen't look right to me

so don't think i'm mad or fighting or any thing but i'm just being truthfully the world is like this so Reef i think i can say now that you have win but we should have a rematch at a next time in a unknow forum and let the real ppl that we don't know vote thats all i'm saying night

I don't know Reef and I voted for him... because he did it better... if you are going to get mad everytime you lose a battle you have a problem there...

[unchew]

ZING?

[deletedUser459]

from what i've seen, i don't really like reef, but i had to give my vote to him :P

[Steven_jd]

dude i'm not mad i said it 1000 time ppl misunderstand thing over the internet and i think this is just one of them but let me say it again is you missed it (me Jerome aka Steven_jd isn't mad)

[REEF·]

I don't understand what you're saying. You're saying that I'm winning because people on KF like me better here? If you want to battle at BBF, I'm cool with that, but let it be known to you that people over there want you banned, so make a smart choice about that. Like simplistik said, he crushed his BBF opponent on the logo battle. This has nothing to do with what forums you're from, it's more leaning on how much time you put into the work and a little fraction of your votes are how much people like you with your work. You said we're unfair because the votes now is 22 to 7 (actually 22 to 5, I voted for you, and you voted for yourself), this happens all the time here. It doesn't always have to be a 10:9 ratio now does it?

How is it that we're unfair, I already explained the hometurf advantage thing. The forums you reside the most in will probably give more votes, speaking hypothetically of course. I understand you're not mad, but it's not fair to call US unfair after the little incident you started a while back.

If you are seriously that much of a sore loser that you can't take a loss like a man and want to go onto an unknown forums THAT much and want to beat me in front of everyone, so you can prove to yourself how much of an amazing photoshopper you are THAT much, let's take it to UltraShock forums. On BBF, it seems every battle that you're in, you always ask for a rematch - even the ones with mlkedave. You have to let that go lol.

Note that I'm not mad about this, it's just taking a small photoshop battle a bit too far. You challenged me on kirupaforums, what did you expect? A red carpet for you :P?

- Reef

[ElectricGrandpa]

Yeah I've gotta say Steven... You're not making a lot of sense. If reef's work is better, then why shouldn't people vote for it? I know I damn well would have voted for your work if it was better, I love supporting the underdog. But in this case, I couldn't it just wouldn't be fair to Reefster... who in my opinion had the better work.

Don't get us wrong, nobody is saying that you suck or anything... But in this battle the majority of us felt your work isn't as good. Instead of being bitter and complaining about it, just learn from reefster's work, figure out what people like better, and keep battling.

- Reef

Now that's what I meant :P!

[REEF·]

Lol @ unchew.

Steven: Comon, not now man I just finished this battle and I have other things to do than rematch you and play on my photoshop all day long. I didn't say people wanted you banned from this forums, if you read my post slowly and carefully (cause I know you like to skim) - I said some of BBF wants you banned and it's true because I've seen those threads where people campaigned against you, you know what I'm talking about.

All that put aside, it was a good match battling with you, now you can shut up about saying you were gonna beat me, cause I know you messaged michael betting I'd lose lol screw you too :P.

[Steven_jd]

okay..

[REEF·]

It's alright don't be embarrased after what you said about me on MSN, about how I chickened out from the rematch and how you can beat me anyday on this "devppl" forums. Even after I accepted your challenge for the first battle you still haven't had enough. True man you are steven talking behind my back thinking I won't hear what's going around. It's alright though, whatever flows your boat.

[DDD]

Steven - that is low man. Please tell me you did not do that. Man it is a competition, there is always going to be a winner and loser. So dont think because you didnt win that we think you suck. Honestly from me I was expecting a lot more from you, they way you burst on the scene and all. I must say you did let me down a lil. And I did not vote for reef because I like him, hell I think I banned him once :beam:. But the dude has devoted hisself to honing his skills and it shows in this battle.

[REEF·]

hell I think I banned him once :beam:.Aww you're so sweet to mention that little golden piece of information :blush:.

I was 12 you bastard!

[deletedUser459]

i want to battle someone. i might lose horribly, but i want to know how well i would do

[REEF·]

i want to battle someone. i might lose horribly, but i want to know how well i would doChallenge steven then, he loves to battle people and I'd like to see how he does against someone else other than me and mlkedave. You and steven_jd are both fairly new to this forums and plus, I always vote according to how much effort was put into images, I can tell by whether or not an image was taken and put text on and uploaded or not lol.

Go ahead rulers, challenge him :bad:. My first photoshop battle about a week ago was exciting as lucky as it was, but exciting :snug:!

[deletedUser459]

i'll challenge steven, but i don't exactly know what to challenge him with

i don't know all this stuff like tennis and serves and whatnot :crying:

[REEF·]

It's easy, I'll guide you along, as long as you have photoshop you're good. Do you have AOL/AIM or Yahoo or MSN? If steven accepts, I'll show you the ropes. This is the forums I hang around the most yet produce work the least in lol.

sounds good :thumb:

[Steven_jd]

[REEF·]

or are you just taking 2 separate rounds, taking separate images and seeing who does the better photo manip?

[jerez_z]

wow..awesome battle guys. Reefster won by a little on the first two rounds but steven absolutely whoopped on the last one. Awesome stuff guys.

[REEF·]

wow..awesome battle guys. Reefster won by a little on the first two rounds but steven absolutely whoopped on the last one. Awesome stuff guys.Not trying to bring it down or anything but the objective was to make a header, just so you know. I agree design terms he killed me but still the rules weren't applied.

[jerez_z]

but its goodness made it not matter :cantlook:

[REEF·]

Ooh so rules dont matter, now thats unfair :P!

[Vexir]

:lol:

Yeah Steven did do a really good job on that last one.

[simplistik]

I agree design terms he killed me but still the rules weren't applied.
Must be a different battle than what I was lookin at then..

[ElectricGrandpa]

Yeah he had some good elements but the whole thing looked to blurry(steven's last one)... I think by far his best was his first one... except for those odd circles in the top right and his huge name.

[SlowRoasted]

reef, he has some of the best texture skills ive ever seen

[REEF·]

Must be a different battle than what I was lookin at then..No, I meant like the last ones' direction was to make a header but he didn't follow the rules, however he beat me in design terms (since everyone said he did i guess...).

Roast: thanks..appreciate it.

[simplistik]

No, I meant like the last ones' direction was to make a header but he didn't follow the rules, however he beat me in design terms (since everyone said he did i guess...).

Roast: thanks..appreciate it.
I understood what YOU said... but what I'm saying is that he didn't, and if he did, ppl must have been lookin at another battle.

[REEF·]

Oh gotcha :beam:.
