First off, I want to say what's up to everyone. I've frequented kirupa.com for a while now but oddly enough never really got into the community! I was very inspired a couple of nights ago after checking out the battle section. Much of this community has some impressive work. The battles look fun and it should be good practice.

More importantly, I've been throwing around some ideas for a concept that I could implement in this battle. Can't wait to compete and see the other entries.

[ar]

Welcome to the forums!
Nice to see people so interested in kirupa forums, just because of the battles.
Oh, and sparky, I'm going to write more guidlines about the battle, so you're going to have to explain a little more about your entry, like what you used to make it, etc.






!GB! - PEACE -

[slinkyart]

Do we just post our images here?

[ar]

I've updated the top post, and added the entry form that you have to complete, and present allong with your entry.






!GB! - PEACE -

[joshuaaa]

So do we have any other participants? I really want to submit something for this battle but i'm not going to bother if there isn't any competition!

[ar]

There are going to be more people in this, since school is just starting for many. That's why the voting starts in November. If needed, the due date would be moved forward, but other than that, you guys/ladies(the few that are out there) have two month to put in an entry.






!GB! - PEACE -

[Nuvis]

I'll join the chaos.

[TheCanadian]

Is the programming category like games and apps and that sort of stuff? If so, I may enter something.

[ar]

It's any kind of programming, anything you could think of, programs, flash programming, etc.

[mpelland]

hey all,
thought that i would post this as a concept.. I don't have time to repair the scroll bar right now. but other than that it is quite functional. *refreshing loads a random interface

http://www.marcpelland.com/portfolio/reference/root/main04.html

* i have entered this because i like to think that it is original. there is not a single graphic on the page and not a single asset used in flash... everything is generated when you connect.

[theflash]

Will wait for your entries EternalStudio :)

I like your work... Let's see what you come up with this time....

[Nuvis]

Very cool website mpelland, I like how it always draws something different when you load the main page again, very cool indeed.

Nuvis

[theflash]

yeah like the idea for site... creative one....

[ar]

Will wait for your entries EternalStudio :)

I like your work... Let's see what you come up with this time....

Thanks :D! I Think you'll like this. It's very, how should I say this, erm, uh, you'll see :D.

Name Of Entry: Abstracticity

Expression: Abstracticity of the mind.

Discription: The goal of abstract art, is to let the viewer try to find out what the art means. In my work, try to think of what I was trying to express, what I was looking for, thinking of, etc. That's what I was trying to show, to let you think of it, take a closer look, and to really try to understand the detailing of it.

Oh, and this is also my thousanth post :D.

Actually, it's a custom texture that you could find cgtalk.com somewhere. I really like the color, and the reflection that it has, so I used it :D.

Category: 2d Still

Discription: I work for a design/print company called CS Kern. This was a piece I did on my own time sort of as a promotional poster to put in my office so when clients came in it could be a conversation piece etc. Just thought I'd post it for this contest. Hope you enjoy! BTW: it is originally 18 x 24 at 300 res.


Boon out~ :thumb2:

[theflash]

that looks cool boondock... how did you get the particle effect on screen ? did u use any filter ?

[BoonDock]

The particle effect was just created using a normal brush, and adjusting some settings. Then adding a motion blur on a layer below the particles...(that make sense?)

[theflash]

ok... Got that part... Thanks for sharing.... and how about the stripes over the laptops... ? let me guess did you use selection + some filter... did you use liquify ?

[BoonDock]

Nope, it was a selection and a bunch of different filters(but actually no liquify filters etc.)...something like, mosaic, then a lot of motion blurs, then some different layer options and voila!
