I'm going to be a watcher on this one. Good Luck guys!

[vladdrac]

cool, yeah. I saw that and was like...wth?

[skiistari]

It's a huffleump tree... from that Dr. Seuss book... except in /real/ life! Way cool.

[vladdrac]

wonder if I should go ahead and start...no response from fester

[vladdrac]

Ok I guess I will start then

[Adam]

It's not bad, and most battles start off slow anyway, and the kick a** stuff comes out near the end ;)

Adam

[vladdrac]

what is sad is that I spent like an hour on that. I better not get a sucky 1st round come tourney time

[GreenLantern]

I like it. That tree colored with blue looks pretty sweet.

I'll be watching this one.

ps. Adam, what's up with your new footer?

[Adam]

ps. Adam, what's up with your new footer?lol...what do you mean?

**edit, my partner, who is our graphics guy, asked me to come up with a new concept for a "box" on our main page...I did something like this, he hated it :D cause he's sooooomuch better with PS, but I just kinda liked the look of it..

[GreenLantern]

It's just kind of...........I dont know....boring?

[Adam]

lol....sorry..that's about the extent of my PS skils....

[GreenLantern]

liar. ;)

[Adam]

;) I'll see if I can spruce it up

[vladdrac]

you could at least add some text on it...lol

[Adam]

I'll see what I can come up with...but we need to stop hijacking your thread..sorry, fella!!!

[Dj-Studios]

I don't get it vladdrac. What is that blue thing supposed to be? Besides a tree of course. I'm cunfused. The whole eye of the tiger thing and the blue "hair" don't go along well together.

[GreenLantern]

Why is the eight ball black?

Because it is.

[vladdrac]

no dj, you are right. The whole composition was stupid, and like I said it amazes me that I spent an hour on it.

[vladdrac]

yo...fester?

[grinch]

Cammarn Fes!

Let's see what you got!!!

[fester8542]

Sorry folks - I was away all weekend. I will get something up this moring...

[vladdrac]

[vladdrac]

btw, what is that at the bottom?

[fester8542]

btw, what is that at the bottom?

Bottom of what? The jacked cat-guy? ;)

Or the tribal tattoo on his arm?

[vladdrac]

lol the tribal

ok I am working on it now

[vladdrac]

hey, did you upload your psd in ascii mode? When I click on the link all I get is page of raw data

[vladdrac]

nevermind, I saved as.. the link and it got it right

[grinch]

Great work guys,
but Fes, you should of lessened the opacity on the cat's eyes, so it blends through to the pupil of the eye.

Keep it up!

[skiistari]

Heh, don't drink and design...
Looks good though!

[vladdrac]

naw, you can top it man...just drink a few

lol j/k

thanks btw

[grinch]

I like it vlad!
Good work, except for that cloud filter in the text, looks a little iffy. But hey, I love the design bro, it looks great!

[vladdrac]

well yeah I know what you mean. btw that 'cloud' text is the white bengal tiger patern that was used in the images.

[fester8542]

hey vlad,
The .psd you poste was the one I posted ....lol

Can you re-post? If not I can work from the.jpg

[vladdrac]

oops my bad..one minute

[vladdrac]

something is wrong with my ftp, everytime I load that psd it closes my ftp program, I am going to try to ftp by web and see if that works

[vladdrac]

[vladdrac]

Nice one! I like those flames. I kinda got the feeling that you like tribal art.

[fester8542]

Nice one! I like those flames. I kinda got the feeling that you like tribal art.

You felt correctly.....thanks man :beam:

The truth of the matter is I am getting a feel for the pen tool and am making all sorts of great stuff in Illustrator and am dying to use it :beam:

[vladdrac]

the pen tool is definately something that I need the most work on

[vladdrac]

I will have it tonight, been rather busy...sorry

[fester8542]

its all good man. Take your time.

[fester8542]

hows it comming vlad?

I wont be able to work on my last one untill monday anyway :beer:

[vladdrac]

well I haven't got to it yet


That is good that you won't be able to start till monday, gives me a little time. I got so much on my plate, I have so many deadlines...If I have time I will try to work on it tonight......

[vladdrac]

Ok, I finally got around to it. Sorry I had finals this week now I am done.

I forgot that it was a .psd exchange and I accidently deleted the file, sorry bout that. Also, once again I put the wrong round number in it. I am a freaking dumbaz sometimes...lol

I guess seeing how I deleted the file, you could just do whatever you want.

I had a lot of fun...Now I am off to vacation and I will not be back for 2 weeks
