mlk wants to battle [PS Tennis, as usual]

[mlk]

Well, I have two or three days of break during my finals so I'm willing to tennis.
It's my first time so I don't know how it'll turn...


Rounds: as many as my opponent and me will fit until Wednesday 9th of June
Theme : Up to my opponent on his first serve
Due Date: (wednesday 9th of june, of course)


What's more: let's try and keep that a HQ image battle, which means that we'll put previews of 800pixels wide or tall maximum here on the thread, but PM links of the real file..

Here's a choice of four picture (link are 1024*768 pictures or so, taken from sxc)

i will battle you, if you don't mind. I'm gonna get my butt kicked.... but lets do it.

[REEF·]

This should be interesting. Pick a picture :).

[Fusion]

im not in this (sorry if i look like i'm stealing the thread) because i'm a wimp and have never really done this sort of thing prior to 2 attempts within the last week...i tried using two pics you had, here's what i got http://home.comcast.net/~aliasjack/Untitled-1.jpg just curious as to whether people think i should start playing or keep to myself, hahah...

[mlk]

pwutty interesting :beam:

Oh and Brichnibodesign i've never seen your work and you've probably never seen mine =).. so let's do it.. just a reminder - pick only one picture - i just gave you a choice, whichever one you prefer.

[b.rich]

Ok... u said 1 pic, I picked #3.... hope that didn't mean i cant add a pic.... i will change if need be but here you go... and 'mlk design' i have seen your work ;) very good stuff. It will be a pleasure to get whooped on by you.

Cool! - pretty tough to work with your addition - do you have the PSD (photoshop7)? or should i work with your jpg? (sorry this is my first battle...)

[Adam]

Very nice, Brich, I like the 20/20 vision thing added, neat touch!!

[mlk]

nevermind i figured how to use your pic - you'll have to wait till tomoro morning; it's bed time on this side of the ocean :trout:

[b.rich]

hey... im send you a link via email to the psd. just waiting on the upload.... 25%....

[b.rich]

I know this doesnt count but... i had some free time to mess with this serve a bit more. I think it brings you in the picture a lil better.

...mlk 'pm' me if you would rather roll with this one.

thanks,

[mlk]

it's alright im using the other one i think it shouldn't change much.

[pom]

Second one is much nicer :)

[mlk]

I second what Ilyas said - here's my round - not at all the best I've ever made, but Im not enhancing it anymore because I want to keep this fast paced.

here's the full jpg (huge) without the slightgrunge/text: http://mlkdesign.online.fr/misc/kirupa/battle1/full.jpg

Oh sh*t. Nice work MLK. Objects are way cooler than they appear. In the mirror you shoulda had a ghost or something but either way, thats amazing.

[b.rich]

very nice..... just got home, ima get started soon. I should have something before i goto sleep.

[b.rich]

here is my serve...

Unfortunately, my roomate jumped on my laptop while i was at the store and closed photoshop w/o saving anything. I lost this serve and another project i was working on for a client. I guess its my bad for not saving before i left. :( only good news is i saved this jpg before i left. I hope its not to hard for you to work with this size jpg.

Once agian... nice job mlk, it was a pleasure to battle with you. I had fun... Good luck with your finals...

[Dj-Studios]

Nice!

[silent.gear]

you guys are doing really well guys. keep up the good work.

[UNFLUX]

mlk - please don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't know you had skills like that! It's probably just because I haven't seen a lot of your work. Great work from both of you but I am really impressed with mlk's last volley. Great job on that one, I love the look and feel. Nice typo too. :thumb:

[grinch]

Ah, the good ol Base font. I used that one a lot before, great selection mlk!

Both of you are at a good competition, good luck!

[mlk]

wow a comment from unflux - *feels warm & fuzzy inside =)*

I too think this. You guys really surprised me! At first I was ehhhh it's pretty good, for him. And then came the other volley's and I was like WOW! What happened here??? I might get some competition coming soon!

So ya great battle you guys and keep up the good work!
