THE K-LLABORATION 2.0

[GW02]

IMPORTANT! Please read the rules even if you think you know what's going on!

Alright, most of you know what went on with the original K-LLABORATION (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81787) before it fell apart due to complications. Well, Paddy Duke, the visionary who created the project, was eventually forced to back out of the project, and I volunteered to take over it and try to keep the ball rolling. B3NKobe is also helping to keep things running smoothly. This time, the system will be just slightly different, and more clear guidelines will be in place as to how contribution works. With that, let's get started!

Introduction
The K-llaboration is a project to create the longest, high-quality seamless digital image in the world. This means that you will not be able to find any obvious breaking point between the images that it is composed of. It is a collaboration amongst many of the members of the KirupaForum, and anyone here is welcome to join. All submissions will be screened for quality before they are added.

Contribution rules
This project is primarily a Photoshop exchange - any other tools must be cleared by anyone managing the project first (that would be myself or B3NKobe), but should be acceptable. The image will remain exactly 400 pixels tall at all times. Each member will use the previous contributor's source file and add anywhere around 600 pixels to it. The extra 600 pixels will be used to create their contribution. Each contribution may modify up to 150 pixels of the right edge of the previous contribution to create the seamless blend into their 600 new pixels of image. For convenience, try to keep the layers for each contribution in its own grouping folder (or two, if necessary) so that they may be easily removed when it becomes unnecessary. Also for convenience, please crop anything that wasn't modified from the source file (hence each source file should be no more than 850 pixels wide). Again, this is a high-quality project. If I feel that any contribution isn't up to the standard already set, I will not add your entry. If the guidelines need further clarification, please feel free to ask.

Queue list
The queue list was one of the big reasons the previous project choked up. Instead of keeping the old list format, the project will now use a kind of "pool." People who wish to contribute must have over 100 posts of non-spam, and will either post on the thread or PM me or B3NKobe, and they will be added to the pool of waiting contributors. When the previous member completes and posts their entry, the first person who was in the pool and is eligible for contribution to post that they would like to take the next piece will be the next contributor. Each member will have 1 week to complete their entry, or they will forfeit their chance and be put back in the pool. This system ensures that the K-llaboration will attract mostly active members and that the project will keep moving along. Unless specifically allowed, users will not be allowed to contribute multiple times, at least within the span of a few entries.

The current pool consists of the following members:

Revee
onsitus
sameerzs
Vexir
djn
Sammo
RadioactiveChimp
prancer
thesparky007
SlowRoasted
e-sarbak
Disco-Stu
grinch
ExoVoid
mrE
dr_vroeg
Steven_jd
xxviii
cr125rider
sliker_hawk
Remember that this list is NOT in order of appearance. There are no "turns," or "orders." If you're confused by this statement, read the rules! :)

The latest .psd can be found at:
http://www.reclipse.net/kirupa/fork.psd

Last up to bat was: Fork
Currently up to bat is: <your name could be here!>

Go get 'em, boys (and girls)! Let's make Paddy Duke proud! :D

[GW02]

So a few more notes not part of the main rules thread.

My server's having temporary issues, so the Flash will be up by Saturday night.

I'm looking for someone (preferably someone I've seen around a lot around here) to help me run this thing.

Also, you should know how this works now: The first person in the pool to post after this post gets to claim the next entry! Go for it!

[onsitus]

Good job Gwing. :A+:
Well, I did try to open fork's psd but I am getting an error message "Could not complete your request because the layer is not a valid text layer". I'm using Photoshop CS. Any idea on where is the problem? :puzzle:

[Vexir]

Count me in :)

[Krilnon]

I'd like to join this one too.

[GW02]

Krilnon: you've already contributed to the K-llaboration, fairly recently too, so I think I'll give it a bit before you can contribute again.

onsitus: Hmm it's not my .psd, you'd have to ask dr_vroeg. It looked like it worked fine for me though...

And since onsitus was the first one to post, he will be the next contributor... you have a week starting now. :)

[Krilnon]

Yeah, I was planning to wait a while anyway before submitting again. :)

[GW02]

I think I'll need to create a "waiting pool" for people like you, to give you a few weeks before submitting again. We'll see. :P

[ExoVoid]

The reason you're getting the font problem is either: You don't have the font, or he was using CS2, from what I understand. Does the file still open?

[onsitus]

I thought about the font not being installed but from what I read PS should then give me the choice to replace it with one I do have. If someone would be kind enough to replace the font by a common one and repost the psd, I could see if it is the problem or if it is a version incompatibility. I will pm Dr_voeg anyway.
I will keep you updated. :thumb:

[B3NKobe]

Sounds Great, Id also like to submit another entry to this, but one question, are you still going to be continuing on from the old K-Lab? Or starting fresh?

[GW02]

Continuing. Probably should've made it clearer. :)

In fact, would you be willing to resume your helping position?

[nobody]

So are all the entries from the last k-llaboration all added up now and it's awaiting new entries? Just wondering cause I did an entry like 18.7 trillion millenia ago and I just never got a chance to see it :P

Nice to see some more clear rules and I hope it flourishes this time, looks like it's in good hands :)

[GW02]

Yes, this is a continuation of the K-llaboration. I'll have the flash up tonight so it'll be clearer. :)

[B3NKobe]

In fact, would you be willing to resume your helping position?

Sure, PM me with what you need me to do

[onsitus]

As I can't open the psd, anyone who wants to have a go at the next contribution, takes my turn. I will wait the next psd, hoping I can open it.
:*(

[mrE]

please add me to the pool, okay? I may not be able to contribute for a while but I would like to eventually (maybe in a few weeks).
thanks.

[GW02]

Okay, then, onsitus.

Whoever wants to take the .psd instead, post here and post now.

[ExoVoid]

Yo, I'll have it... So what, I have 1 week to do it?

[B3NKobe]

Yo, I'll have it... So what, I have 1 week to do it?
Does it not say that in the rules?!

You Can Find the latest .psd at:
http://www.the-deweys.com/fork.psd

[ExoVoid]

Just checking, also making sure I understood that it was me doing it... and what's with that grammer and capitalisations? "You Can Find the lastest .psd can be found at:"
[N.B. I guess he speaks Australian instead of English]

[GW02]

He started typing then he copied my sentence from the first post, I think.
Anyways, don't be so critical and get to work! :thumb:

[ExoVoid]

harhar, [curse curse spit spit] forgot you could edit 150 px of the other persons, screwed that up good, starting from scratch (again)

EDIT:EDIT:EDIT:EDIT
ARGH! ^$&%* Dr. Vroeg cannot fit any more private messages in his inbox, and I need the font he used, does anyone have "Code39OneText"?
If I can't get that font, my ideas are gone, and I've just found out that I'm using old ideas anyway, I was basing mine around an eye, and I extended the canvas to see Fork's entry, which was also an eye... getting very frustrated, if I can't get that font soon I'm gonna have to pass it on, because I can't blend it the way I want to without it... :(

[GW02]

Well it looks terribly similar to an old font that came with Microsoft Office... I can't remember the name of it though. Started with M. Like Marquee or Margritte or something.

[solomarvin]

Ok.

I'm incredibly new to this site. I jux felt like opening up PS. If this is incorrect or w/e..or if it sucks..jux simply delete. Nothing to hurt my feelings, instead adding to my portfolio.

http://www.solomarvin.com/toblack-friendship.jpg

It's something rather easy to continue with, and I thought it looks pretty nice. To Black-Friendship. Like I said..if it sucks or inaccurate..please delete or I will.

I took a way different approach, and completly changed it all up.

If it is correct, I will post PSD.

Cheers :)

[ExoVoid]

I'm looking for the barcode font, not the "TO BLACK" one.
solomarvin: I kinda doubt you'll be allowed to add on, you never know though, your posts are a little under 100

[REEF·]

awwww crap.

I completly forgot about my post count. Dangit :(

that sucks.

O well..it was fun anyways.

Hope to see some good entry's.

Cheers :)

Cheers :)
I really like your entry mate, as im second in charge of this I would like to give you permission to use this, my reasons why I would want to break the rules:

"You have 7 posts, in the K-LLAB 1.0 we had alot of members who would join Kirupa Forums and on their second post they would ask to join, but when it came to there go, they were impossible to get hold of.

However you have gone ahead and done an entry already, I think thats great, and it looks very neat"

Although the final decission will be upto G_Wing02, you have my pass on it.

[solomarvin]

I hope he lets me, but if not I understand.

As a administrator for alot of different events, and forums, I understand it is often hard to trust the new comers.

I do plan on staying at Kirupa, but the point is to have 100 posts of non-spam. I visit the forums honestly..10 times a day. I jux don't post that often. I'd rather read the knowledge thats posted, then to post my 2 cents :D I jux post when needed. I'm not an attention whore, I'm just addicted to photoshop. Thats all.

Thanks.

Cheers :)

[GW02]

I actually do like your entry, solomarvin.

As long as Exovoid has no complaints, I think I'll just let you have it... but everyone else should remember that this is NOT how it's supposed to be done, and it is by no means a go ahead to just start tugging at my heartstrings and posting your entries outside the rules! :)

[ExoVoid]

Hey, no problems here, You're making the rules, just be cautious on who you allow to break the rules, but it's not my place to say yes or no.

[GW02]

Well the only reason we put the "newb-restriction" in place was that they were usually unskilled and eventually when it was their turn they weren't even here anymore anyways.

solomarvin appears to be an exception to both rules. Out of fairness, I'll let you take the next one as soon as he posts the .psd.

Which reminds me that I should probably see about getting the flash up now that my server is free of FTP issues.

[mlk]

Well the only reason we put the "newb-restriction" in place was that they were usually unskilled and eventually when it was their turn they weren't even here anymore anyways.

Erm people just don't magically learn photoshop when they come to kirupa, i'm sure a lot of newcomers know a lot more than some people here like you and me.

I think it would be fair to let <100 join in, and if you want a restriction just tell them to submit here before.

[GW02]

Hmm, I'll think about it but I think it's going to stay, at least until we start running out of willing members.

[ExoVoid]

sounds good to me, now, when's that psd coming solomarvin?

[solomarvin]

ok..which PSD do you need? I saved the JPEG file of fork.psd..so I jux put that and added on my own PSD. So it's nothing really that new.

The only PSD that would be new is mine.

Is that it?

Cheers

[ExoVoid]

yes, i need your psd so I can blend using the layers u've made, i find it easier, and i think its in the (seemingly flexable) rules.

[onsitus]

Good job Solomarvin. I will have to say only one thing(:sure: ). You should try to get rid of those white pixels left over above the shaking hands.
xGwing
The extra 600 pixels will be used to create their contribution. Each contribution may modify up to 150 pixels of the right edge of the previous contribution to create the seamless blend into their 600 new pixels of image. For convenience, try to keep the layers for each contribution in its own grouping folder (or two, if necessary) so that they may be easily removed when it becomes unnecessary. Also for convenience, please crop anything that wasn't modified from the source file (hence each source file should be no more than 850 pixels wide).
If I understood right, the file should be no more then 750 pixels wide (instead of the 850)???
:sigh:

[dr_vroeg]

umm...okay, I have still been reading this thread daily. If there are any problems with the psd you can ask me here. No Idea why my PM is full....

let me know if I can help.

[onsitus]

Got your pm, ty. Problem resolved as Solomarvin has already done the next part.

[Ψ]

why is the psd stilll called fork.psd.....why not change it to the current person. lol.

its like 3 people alreay went after me and the psd still remains as my nickname. lol

not that its bothering me or anything, but just a comment

[solomarvin]

Heres my PSD. Enjoy, and thanks alot guys. Glad you let me in this contest!

Cheers

[dr_vroeg]

@fork: "lazy" being the opperative word. :D

[onsitus]

xSolomarvin, can't see any posted psd! :q:

[solomarvin]

err..I don't know why it didn't work.

Try this.

* I WILL DELETE THIS IN 5 DAYS TO SAVE MY BANDWIDTH.

http://www.solomarvin.com/Hands.psd

Cheers :)

[paddy.]

OKay guys, I don't want to be mean, and I know I said that I'd bowed out of this project. But I'm still keeping an eye on it and it IS my baby. I would like to exert my executive power (if I have any) and veto the last two entries as I don't feel they meet the standard of the rest of the entries. In particular solomarvin's piece, which falls considerably short of the quality I would have accepted were I in charge. Dr Vroeg's entry is well done, but just isn't K-LLABORATION material in my opinion.

Sorry if I offended either Dr. Vroeg or Solomarvin but it's the reason I put the rule in place in the beginning. If I don't have any say in this thing anymore feel free to send my proverbial *** on it's way.

Paddy :ne:

[idolthoughts]

o man put me down I guess i had something going right now that i have an image posted at the top of kirupa ;) lol

[ExoVoid]

sorry to say, I actually agree with Paddy about solomarvins, although I wasn't going to say anything, although I still like idol's... however, I recommend to Gwing to follow Paddy's advice, it is his baby afterall, it's just motivation for me to do better.

[GW02]

Paddy has rule over all.

I really didn't like dr_vroeg's entry (sorry) in the first place but I kept it only because Paddy Duke seemed to have accepted it. Solomarvin's looked good in comparison, so I took it as the standard.

So, in accordance with Paddy's decision, the past two entries are now invalid.
I'll dig up the .psd tomorrow morning when I'm not falling over out of exhastion.

edit: I went and dug it up anyways. :lol:
I had half a mind to revert back to xxviii's entry, but since general consensus liked fork's entry, I have reverted to fork's entry. ExoVoid is still the current contributor, and has a week starting now (again).
PSD is on first post.

[ExoVoid]

ok, let the games begin, I guess having two very contrasting eyes next to each other won't be too flattering... Would I be allowed to use a battle entry as a base for my entry?

[dr_vroeg]

wow...I must say that hurts. so much for the democratic way but oh well. To each there own however if we are all being "open" now I must say that the "back to primitive" entry and PRStudio's are not all that wonderful either. I am not dissing the individual's ability but I don't believe that they are of quality to make this either. (it looks to me that they are just fillers in between much more interesting works)

[solomarvin]

forget it. I'm out. o well..I knew it would happen somehow.

Good luck to the rest.

cheers

[paddy.]

I agree with you, although back then it took weeks to get an entry done by anyone, so those pieces were added simply to keep the project growing. If they were submitted now I would probably not accept them. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

[GW02]

It's great to see you back into this game, Paddy. :thumb:


ok, let the games begin, I guess having two very contrasting eyes next to each other won't be too flattering... Would I be allowed to use a battle entry as a base for my entry?

I don't understand your question, can you repeat it please?

[dr_vroeg]

@paddy: it's fine, no one like's to hear there stuff sucks...hmm. after I look at it...I am ashamed. I might get in a little later...

Gwing...can you take off my link to the psd and put me back on the lineup? thanks.

[ExoVoid]

Sorry, I was delusional at the time (probably). Am I allowed to use an entry from a battle for my contribution after a bit of editing to it?

EDIT: (a minute after posting) I just realised I have a different idea as to what I'm doing, so don't worry, I appear to still be mostly delusional.

[GW02]

Gwing...can you take off my link to the psd and put me back on the lineup? thanks.

Already done, and now done. I wish you better luck on your next try. :)

Though you don't seem to need an answer anymore, I have no problem with your using your own past work, though of course original work is preferred. ;)

[ExoVoid]

I'm going original now, I will hopefully be done in the next 24 hours.

[Steven_jd]

could i join ?

[GW02]

Yep. :thumb:

[Steven_jd]

hey dude i have my design already i did it last night what should i do with it send me a email plz sorry i hate readin and you had too much to read so ya hehe

jd.steven@gmail.com ASP

[onsitus]

Really Exovoid is already working on the next psd so I think you should keep it for the next turn. :-/

[Steven_jd]

Gwing_02 said i could you are you to tell me i can't ?

[GW02]

No, I added you to the pool.
You have to wait your turn like everyone else, sorry.

Please read the rules on the first page.

[Steven_jd]

oh i know that but i thought he mean i couldn't get in the battle

[onsitus]

Better starting to read what's being posted and do not forget to relax and breath slowly:ponder:

[Vexir]

Count me in :)

Thanks for ignoring the very 2nd post in this thread Gwing... :crying:

Also I haven't ever contributed. Add me! :)

[GW02]

You are already on the pool list, Vexir. :-/

[Vexir]

... How did I NOT see that. Hehe, whoops. My bad! :thumb:

[ExoVoid]

:lol: "the very second post" I'm nearly finished mine (I hope)

[ExoVoid]

Sorry, I can't finish mine now, pass it on, don't add me back to the pool because my skills aren't up to it, I know my entry would be rejected.

[Steven_jd]

if you want help i would be more then happy to give you a hand just don't give up so fast bro take your time

jd.steven@gmail.com write me if you need me or you can talk to me on messenger msn jstd_921@hotmail.com or yahoo jerome_steven@yahoo.com

Steven_jd

[onsitus]

I saw the last psd rejected and I do not feel like I am up to it either, still I think you shouldn't give up. I know I will take my turn even it means being turned down. Nothing to lose and it is a way of learning.
If Exovoid really decide to pass his turn, I will take his place if noone has any objections as I'm off on holiday by the end of the week and I won't be back before the second week of september.
I will wait for a positive answer before starting working on it.

[ExoVoid]

Na, I'm passing in the towel, I want to say I can do it myself (eventually) but for now I just don't have the time to work out how to do what i invisioned... NEXT!

[b.rich]

so is there an up-to-date picture I can see with all the current entries or are we workin on it?

been waiting to see mine with all the other entries.

[tucker]

i'm confused, is the list in the first post in order? Because exvoid is the bottom and i dont see fork on it. I'm so confused right now :(

[dr_vroeg]

lol

[onsitus]

Fork already done is part and no the list is not in order, the first one to post take his turn. See first page.
Anyway, I am posting mine. This is the best I can do for now. See you in september.:flower:

http://www.onsitus.it/ps/2.jpg

[paddy.]

i'm confused, is the list in the first post in order? Because exvoid is the bottom and i dont see fork on it. I'm so confused right now :(
Jeez! Read the frickin' rules people.

@ onsitus - um, why does it look as though you coloured in the background with big round brushes? No offense but I don't want this entry in the K-LLAB either.

[onsitus]

OK fair enough. ;)

[GW02]

Okay, well, does anyone else feel up to the challenge?
If you're in the pool and the answer is yes, post here first and get to it!

Don't feel intimidated by Paddy here, he really DOES accept an entry once in a while. ;)


so is there an up-to-date picture I can see with all the current entries or are we workin on it?

been waiting to see mine with all the other entries.

Sorry, b.rich, I'm waiting for an acceptable entry to add on to get myself motivated to actually update+upload. :-/

[b.rich]

no worries, just wanted to make sure I didn't overlook a link. It's been awhile since that old picture was updated which is why i asked. I think the last entry I saw on it was mlk's.

[Krilnon]

You aren't going to find that many people willing to participate with the attitude you have now. :-/

[paddy.]

It's gotta be good. No point in even bothering with the project if it ends up looking rubbish.

[Vexir]

I actually liked Onsitus's entry. And if the collaboration isn't representative of Kforum members, good or bad, whats the point? Sorry, I'm with Krilnon on this one.

Edit:

Alright, actually G-Wing, I'd like to withdraw from this "K-LLABORATION", because its really not a kirupa.com collaboration anymore, its too selective. You guys turned down a lot of great entries which people put time and effort into, and so it really ruins the whole spirit of this thing. A piece of work shouldn't have to be "accepted" into this, as long as they truly did work on it. As for it being "your baby" Paddy, let it be yours, but if its going to be selective as this you really are not going to succeed.

Sorry guys, not going to work for me.

[Krilnon]

I agree it would be nice to have a good looking piece, but i'ts going to be less enticing for people to enter given what's happened so far. It seems like you're trying to turn this thread into http://www.lobby45.org

You can do what you'd like, I'm just offering my thoughts on the issue.

[b.rich]

Maybe instead of denying people you could offer some suggestions to improve their design and see if that helps. I gotta agree with Krilnon and Vexir though with this kind of project for a community like this you need to be more open.

[rugget]

I like the whole Idea here, but I think any entry is good a one. Who cares if you don't like what the person made. I thought that was kind of the whole Idea anyways. Differnt people's art. So patty duke & g-wing why don't you be a little more open? Not everyone liked van gogh but look how popular he is now. So screw the trendy art. I say make what you want.

[GW02]

Hey guys:

This is Paddy Duke's project. He gets final say here, whether you agree or not. I firmly believe in what he is trying to do, and I believe that the standard that's already been set proves that it can be done. I think that some of you are being put off simply because you THINK you can't do it. I know that if you really try, you can do it. However, if this really gets nowhere in the next 2 weeks, even with the new system wherein almost anyone can step in at any minute, I will no longer attempt to promote or manage it. :-/

The standard's been set. The community here at KirupaForums is capable of achieving that standard. Just do your best, and if you don't succeed, do better. It's a learning experience, not just a place for gurus to show off their stuff. We're not looking for "trendy art," but we're not accepting something that is completely misrepresentative of what we're trying to do.

Thanks for at least taking the time to take a look here, and thank you for being around, Paddy.

-GWing_02

[ExoVoid]

OK, I'm over my "crap-trip" chuck me back in the pool, I've actually nearly finished (sound familiar?) an entry, ready to blend in to anyones, so I could do it in 2 days.

[Steven_jd]

is it my turn yet

[dr_vroeg]

the other option for those that are looking to start a revolution is to make their own thread/collaboration in which any entry will be accepted. I am on the fence on this one. If you want Kirupa to be introverted and only the people of this site to be impressed with it's work then like paddy said "what's the point". But if this were to make a New Masters of Photoshop entry and there was a few in the K-LLABORATION that looked like crap then it would discredit the site and those who worked to create the images. (this coming from a guy whos design got shot down :hitman:)

This is an open forum and no one really "ownes" anything. If the creator of this thread wishes to add or dismiss anything it's his call not yours...

Like I said in the beginning if you want to start your own thread go ahead and call it the bi-product-llaboration where all the deformed entries can be found...now that might make us all realize just what a poor quality entry is. (remember I got denied but I agree with paddy...even though he hurt my feelings...but that was when I was younger and more juvenile) :D

[Krilnon]

I don't think anyone has denied that the thread starter has the right to do whatever he wants, and GWing_02 is also letting Paddy judge. I think people were merely suggesting changes, not demanding them :)

[paddy.]

There seems to be a misunderstanding here about what I intended the K-llaboration to be. It's supposed to be not just an incredibly long image, but also a high quality piece of art. Your entry doesn't have to be a photo manipulation, it can be anything, a vector illustration, a photo, anything you like, as long as it is seamless and HIGH QUALITY. I am also very open about what the content of the entries is. I really don't mind what is in your piece if I think it looks good.

So, no I don't want to accept sub-par entries. I want it to be exclusive to people who can produce nice pictures. It has to look good.

[GW02]

I think that's what I was trying to say. It was late and I couldn't type straight. :P

Alright, ExoVoid, go for it!

[nobody]

Hey is there any way I can get added back onto the list? I'd like to have another go eventually if that's allowed :)

[Krilnon]

I think if you've already made one you have to 'wait a few weeks' and then you can be put into the pool… or at least that's what I was told.

[nobody]

Well I did mine a couple months ago so it's been a while. And I'm asking to be put at the end of the list, so I don't see why it should be a problem unless there's a one entry per contestant rule :)

[GW02]

Well, xxviii, tell me what you think again AFTER you read the rules. ;)

No need to get huffy there Gwing, I've read the rules a few times. I get the concept of the pool thing but I'm just saying I'd like to let a few people go and then I'll jump in if it starts getting a little stagnant or something. So I guess I'm really just asking to be added to the pool since anyone in the pool can go when they want to a degree.
So now that I've asked the same thing in different words can I get added?

[GW02]

I wasn't huffy, I was mostly kidding, hence the ;).

You may certainly be on the list.

[onsitus]

I also think Paddy is right to be selective. I am still in the learning processs of ps, I did say so in the first k-lab thread and I also said myself that I don't feel being up to it but still I wanted to try, for me it is a good way of learning and I won't give up because my pic has been refused. So I do hope that I can stay on the list and try again at a later date. ;)

[GW02]

You certainly may, onsitus. I'm glad to see that there are some people who have the "try, try again" spirit. :)

[GW02]

Okay, I AM going to go cranky on you, however.
Would you please read the rules!?

PS: ExoVoid, it's been 2 days... but the rules give you another 5. ;)

[ExoVoid]

What? I never got when you said it was me again! ARGH, SO CONFUSED! I'll post it by tonight. Also confused about who's psd I'm working off. I'll go off forks, but I'll blend it to someone elses if need be.

[ExoVoid]

Here ya go: had to compress it to quality 4 to allow it to fit here, hence the not so brilliant quality. I've put the psd on ripway, not much traffic allowed, so please don't download too much.

Wo, nice entry. Hope it isnt rejected, it clearly displays you have skills. I'm new here so stick me in as soon as soon as i have 100 posts

[paddy.]

I still don't like that. It's very un-seamless and I HATE those bevels with a ferocious rage. No offence but I think I'm gonna reject that as well. Unless GWing has any objections.

:)

[solomarvin]

yea that looks a bit weird =/

I hate the bevels as well. The rest is OK..

but I see why Paddy rejected. I also seen why he rejected mine.

Hes not being harsh..he jux wants to have a good project.

Cheers

[ExoVoid]

easily fixable, I'll change the bevels, change the blend, then will it be fine?
Here ya go, updated, bevels gone, this better? I've changed the blend slightly as well.

[ExoVoid]

Just realised that I didn't attach it, here's the updated one:

[tid]

I liked your old one more but i think this is more likely to be accepted, the seem is tidier

[SlowRoasted]

im ready to go whenever. someone just let me know:D

[GW02]

I like your new one in terms of blend better.

The pixelated sheet music is bugging me, but unless Paddy Duke has objections, I'm going to take it for the sake of taking the best attempt thus far.

[ExoVoid]

that, i can't fix, sorry, if it's not accepted, then i'll get over it, and probably just wait a long time before getting back into it, either way suits me... paddy?

[Steven_jd]

it looks okay but you could have take your time and do it look like you were in a hurry or some thing

[paddy.]

I still don't like it. It just looks rushed and a bit untidy to me. And for some reason the style just really doesn't appeal to me. Sorry again.

[cr125rider]

I'd like in please. This whole thing is a great idea. I'm working on a 3D model now, so I might be a little bit. Most of my posts arnt spam...:D. Thanks guys!

[ExoVoid]

right, no problem, i'll leave this project now, c ya'll round

[tid]

I still don't like it. It just looks rushed and a bit untidy to me. And for some reason the style just really doesn't appeal to me. Sorry again.
So your saying its not your style. Its your project but if everything was your style you may aswell have done it all yourself.

[paddy.]

So your saying its not your style. Its your project but if everything was your style you may aswell have done it all yourself.Next time I will. :mu:

[cr125rider]

LOL, Paddy can I be in? I want a spot in the lineup.
Here is a sample render of what I was thinking of putting in:

I was gonna have a coffee cup falling of the table. Still WIP.

Thanks,

[paddy.]

Sure you can be in. Two things tho:

1. Be sure to wait your turn. Otherwise you may be ejected. (not rejected)

2. Please try not to use gradient masks or fades as the transition between your piece and the previous one. It makes things look better.

[cr125rider]

I agree, sounds good. I have subscribed to this thread, so I'll be checking in often. Thanks,
Seth

[GW02]

cr125rider is now in the pool.

Who in the pool would like to be next to give this a try?

[cr125rider]

It says "Currently up to bat: <your name could be here>" who is going next, any takers? I am not quite ready yet, I'll be done in probably a week with the render.

[Sliker_Hawk]

.. Oh yay. Can I be dipped in the pool?

Ahem... Count me in.

EDIT:
I've kind of made an entry... it's not done, and I havn't blended it with the current PSD (because I expect it'll change by the time I finish it and it's my time to contribute):

[GW02]

Sorry about the short lack of me around here, I've been kinda busy.
Sliker_Hawk, you're in the pool now. To follow the rules, I'll require you to be the first willing contributor after this post to allow you to take your turn.

[SlowRoasted]

im getting a new camera this week so Im going to wait until i get it and take a few pictures. then I can use my own photos for my klab

[e-sarbak]

dont worry guys I am still in the project

[GW02]

dont worry guys I am still in the project

Um, does that mean you want it to be your turn?

Because if it does, go for it...

[Sliker_Hawk]

I'm willing, but this post is too slow.. We need a flood of... Mega people...

[DeclineD]

Is the pool still open?
Cuz i'd like to dive in if possible :)

[MetteBB]

Can I join too pls.... Would love to get out my creativeness again. And I promise I'll read the rules before it's my turn ;)


/mette

[GW02]

I'm willing, but this post is too slow.. We need a flood of... Mega people...

It's yours. You have a week starting now.

[GW02]

I regret to inform everyone that I am backing out of this project, at least until November, when I will actually have time, because it's my Senior IB year and I'm taking 10 classes in an 8 period day, plus 3 hours of tennis after school, which is being very mean to me.

[kai001]

I'll take over!

[tid]

You only have 3 posts, think 1st post 2nd

[dr_vroeg]

ha...no one believed me!

[PlasticMind]

This sounds like a very intuitive, unique idea. Is there any way to simply view the progress? I'd love to see what the whole thing looks like so far...

[GW02]

Yeah, it was up at Paddy Duke's website somewhere. Check the thread for the original.

[theflash]

So if GWing_02 backs out... who is taking over ?

Good thread going... slow sometimes but afterall it is a long term project... Many ppl wanting to get into pool also...

I see people are trying to get to a quality level art image... Good challenge for anybody who wants to challange creative thoughts...

I would see what goes with this project for some time and then I may want to be in the pool...

But I like the Idea of project... keep going guys....

[GreenLantern]

I think I need to step up into this one.

Sign me up!

[theflash]

this project should continue... can 2-3 ppl team up to manage this ? so no one person will be loaded with all management and decisions....

[bananaism]

looks like you've got some competition..

[calvintage]
