Dj-Studios vs Telekinesis

[Dj-Studios]

Would anyone like to do a quick PhotoShop battle this weekend? Ethan? Colin Campbell? Anybody?

[Dj-Studios]

Anybody?

[telekinesis]

Sure.

[Dj-Studios]

Sweet! You wanna set rules or me?

[telekinesis]

rounds: 3 volleys each (6 total rounds)
theme: Heaven
apps: Any
image: psd exchange
image size: Determined on 1st volley

You go first. Then send me link to .psd file.

[Dj-Studios]

Sounds great. I have started but won't get finished until later Sunday. :( sry. But I gotta go to a bachloriet and some special deal at my church for graduating seniors from 9:50 to around oh 4:30 I think. But I will try to get it out by Sunday night.

[telekinesis]

Sounds good. I have work so it will have to be a medium time frame for me also.

[Dj-Studios]

Ok I'm just about finished. I did two of them but can't decide which one I want to use.:puzzled:. Oh well I'll have one up here real soon in any case. :D

[Dj-Studios]

Ok I guess I made my decision(or however you spell it). I am posting the actual image and links to the images I used. Oh and the .psd file of course.

Here is the image:

Here are the images I used. One of them is mine but you can use it if you want. It's the cloud image. These images were sized down for file size and viewing purposes:

Photo One (http://www.dj-studios.com/stocks/arches.jpg)
Photo Two (http://www.dj-studios.com/stocks/church.jpg)
Photo Three (http://www.dj-studios.com/stocks/clouds.jpg)

And here my friends is the .psd. It's a 7.8mb file I think. I tried to keep it as small as possible:

[nj_jcarter]

very cool DJ. Keepin' the levels up as usual. I await the return volley.

[Dj-Studios]

Thx NJ. I try...

[DarkChild]

nice one dj, really nice one to be more specific :thumb:

[CanadianGuy]

Sweet work there DJ! The colours and textures are perfect.

[Dj-Studios]

Thx everyone. Can't wait to see the return.:D

Is my week up yet CG? Lol My rep here is becoming bad now cause i\of the message.:D

[CanadianGuy]

ROFL!

Yea I guess so DJ. Btw I never did say thanks for the great battle.

[Dj-Studios]

np sry I didn't give a good challenge like I was meaning to.:(

Maybe another one here soon? I'm outta school Friday. So any time you want to go again.:D

[pom]

DJ, that's a great volley! And thanks for the psd, it's real interesting. I wished everybody did the same *tears* then the world would be a better place! *sob*

[Dj-Studios]

Sorry everyone I have been off-line for 3 days now. Someone's dog chewed through the cable line and I couldn't get on. I'm at school right now. Should be fixed tonight.

Thx Pom. I wish I kept most of the layers. Cause if you look at it now there aren't many. I merged most of them to keep the file size down. If I hadn't you might have been able to see more.*sob* oh well....thx for the nice comment...

[telekinesis]

Still haven't had time to even open Photoshop, I'm hoping to get to it tonight. I get my new labtop on monday so I can work on the battles at work also and upload. My first volley or two will be lame, but by next week I'll have some more resources to work with and time. Expect it tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Dj-Studios]

Sweet I can't wait! I too will have more time. Tom is my LAST DAY as a highschool student. SWEET!!!!!!!!!

[telekinesis]

Congrats on gradulating, I did that last year and just finished my freshman year of college this year.

[telekinesis]

I am not happy with my volley, but here it is. About 30 minutes worth. Next volley should be better quality.

[tucker]

oooooooooooooo i like it!

its just so....so....... yeep thats about the only way to describe it.

[pom]

Unlike most of the battles we see around here, the connection with the previous volley is very clear :) Having said that, I love the colours. *cough*psd?*cough* :whistle:

[grinch]

Bah,
DJ is in my battle right now too! Jesus man, I don't see how you can keep up with all of these, but anyways, great work both of you!
Telek, it reminds me of FFIX, for some reason... I like it!

[telekinesis]

I'm looking forward to your next volley DJ.

The theme can be bases on anything to do with the likes of heaven. So as long as the top is related to heaven the images will suit just fine.

:thumb:

[UNFLUX]

looks good dan, even for 30min. I love the colors too, and the angle you chose is nice. I don't think you did something poor at all. ;)

[Dj-Studios]

Looks graet. I'll try to put out something by Sat night if I can.

[telekinesis]

No rush, if you don't get it done till Sunday/Monday no big deal. I understand if you will be busy over the weekend.

[Dj-Studios]

Cool thx buddeh.

[Dj-Studios]

Holly crap by some miracle I am actually almost done with my next one. It should challenge you to think about your next volley.:D

[Dj-Studios]

Ok I am (for some odd reason) done with my next volley. I think I have ADD because I always get really frustrated after about an hour or so. But surprisingly I spent some time on this one.:D Oh and just to let everyone know those wings are hand drawn.:D I love my Wacom pad. Hehe.

Hope I didn't make to hard on you for your next volley!

Here is the .PSD (http://www.dj-studios.com/battles/second.psd)

And yes I did use some of his stuff. Although it may not look like it though. Go ahead download the .psd and find out for yourself.

[UNFLUX]

good stuff DJ :thumb:

I think once your battle-plate is cleared off a bit more, you and I should tangle. whattaya say?

[Dj-Studios]

Sure. I don't mind getting owned again.:P

[telekinesis]

Sounds good, I don't visually see anything from my volley in there, but I guess it's in the .psd so I will get to it soon.

[Dj-Studios]

I used:

The little angel. It's in the brighter area. Gave the dark areas alittle bit more "texture" so I kept it.

I also used the clouds in there. That's why the wings look all gold and shiny.:)

[nj_jcarter]

I think a DJ/Unflux crossover would rock hard tasty abs washboard style. And if you made it a "battle" I would be sure to join, in the hopes of competing against two very outstanding performers.

[Dj-Studios]

I am going to take that as a VERY big complament. Thank you nj!:D

[Dj-Studios]

Any news on progress Tele. Not rushing just wanted to see if have had the chance to work on yours. I'm sure you are very busy so take your time.

[telekinesis]

About to leave to Best Buy to pick up my new 17" notebook PC. I'll have to load some stuff onto and finish something for a client, but it will be finished tonight.

Sorry about the delay.

[Dj-Studios]

Ok Tele here is our battle page.

www.dj-studios.com/battles/televsdj/battle.html

[telekinesis]

Sounds good. Almost done with mine!

By the way, the title at the top of the browser assumes I'm graphicslash.

[Dj-Studios]

Oops forgot to change that part. Hehe.:P

[UNFLUX]

aren't you? :evil: :P

[Dj-Studios]

Ok It's fixed.

[Dj-Studios]

I'll have to load some stuff onto and finish something for a client, but it will be finished tonight.

Umm...... :-/

[telekinesis]

I had a delay on a clients site, they needed something changed which took all my time. Business comes first. Here is my entry. I am dissapointed that my notebook PC won't be finished until Friday/Saturday, was looking forward to using it in the battle. The 3D Render was made by me.

[Dj-Studios]

Sweet stuff dude. S'ok about the client thing. I understand.

Is that my guy all twisted up and stuff? That's cool! Well I guess it's my turn. Wish I had 3D!

[Dj-Studios]

Ok I am changing up the style a bit. :D Oh well that's what I do in most of my battles. Maybe it's because I've been doing techy stuff lately. Oops I told you what I was doin. Oh well....:P Again I wish I knew how to do 3D stuff.

[Dj-Studios]

Ok I went fast,(two hours) but I'm very happy with the results considering the style I went with.
Here it is:

Nice volley, I love it!

Whoa, you are in a battle with everyone. :P

Hopefully have mine done soon. Oh crap, I'm late for work, talk to you later.

[Dj-Studios]

Work sucks. Oh well it keeps the money comin in. :D

Oh glad you like my entry!

[Dj-Studios]

*bump*

[telekinesis]

I'm at work right now, been working 10 hour days, but tonight sounds good for opening Photoshop.

[Dj-Studios]

The *bump* wasn't ment to rush you. Just wanted everyone to see what has been goin on in this battle.

[muffins]

Ok I went fast,(two hours) but I'm very happy with the results considering the style I went with.

Any chance of a tutorial on the liquid metal effect? Like the hook shape of em also?

[Dj-Studios]

Might wanna ask Telekinesis about that. I actually have no 3D knowledge what so ever. I just know how to make it look "flashy".;)

If you odont know how to make those liquidy lookin things than how did you make it?

[vladdrac]

...see the second post on this page.

Hey DJ, I dig that a whole hell of a lot. Looking real clean

[nj_jcarter]

the creativity is amazing. How you took the sqwigly thing and then made an angel fight it...Genius! Its visually amazing. I'm in Awe. I'd like to see a tutorial about anything from you, I think you have some great skills.

[Dj-Studios]

Ummm thanks man. Tuts would be hard to do for my graphics. They basically just comes from my style of art. And everyone has a different style. Get what I am saying? But I'd be more than willing to let you take a look at the .psd's. You might be able to learn alittle from them.

[vladdrac]

Id imagind there would be hundreds of steps you would have to write as well

[Dj-Studios]
