to lost

[mdipi]

grunge batlle:

third party does rules.

all welcome to join.

must be new work.

and it will end one weel from when lost accepts!

[lostinbeta]

Okay, third party creates rules eh? Who will this third party be then? Dan maybe?

Also... an open battle? That is a contest not a battle... isn't it?

I believe a battle is for 2 people.... I am not one to know the rules of battling, so I guess I will have to consult with Dan on that one.

[mdipi]

yeah dan never set up rules....but BSCoggswell wanted in, so want to do a 3 way battle?i asked dan to be the 3rd party.

[lostinbeta]

I guess the amount of people able to battle is up to dan, he is the rule maker of this battle eh?

I need grunge brushes, I have very few :-\

I can make grunge without brushes, but that will only take me so far.

[Makaveli]

What the Heck IS tHIS ANYWAYS!!!! someone post some rules quicktime b4 i go postal. :rambo: :pirate:

[bcogswell11]

mdipi I'll pass up on this one. I'll go in the near future. I have to finish a client site before I can do much other stuff. Plus I want to sharpen my PS skills.

Good luck to all participating!

What exactly is grunge?

[lostinbeta]

This might give you an idea...

http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8444

It is basically images that look dirty.

[Andy]

Ah yes, I've seen that thread before it's what got me curious, I'll try looking "grunge" up on google.

[sinfiniti]

so let me get this straight....
this battle is just people making 'grunge' images and posting them, or perhaps you start with the same image? are there color depth limits? pixel size? file size?
just what is the battle? are there teams? how do you know who wins?
ok, thanks in advance for not confusing me anymore.

As far as I knew, battles were between 2 people, but I don't quite know the rules.

The rules of this battle can be determined by the challenger, the person who was challenged, or by a third party. We chose for the rules to be chosen by a third party so it is fair.

The third party (probably Dan), will develope whatever rules he wants, and we have to follow them. A time limit is also set by the rule maker.

After the time limit is up, we post our final products in this thread. Then the visitors to this thread vote on whos they like best. The one with the most votes wins.

I don't really like this battle thing. So please don't engage hostilities with me :P (especially not in PS... although I've had a good look at that FoEd book, 40 power effects with PS or something like that, and I must say that it really made me regret that I never gave PS a chance :-/).

pom :asian:

[kirupa]

Maybe if you guys want, you can post a request for people to act as rule-rs in the Random section. You might get quite a few more people who don't even know this section exists to join in.

Cheers!
Kirupa :rambo:

[telekinesis]

I'm working on it kirupa, I can't even tell you how hard and descriptive these rules are, its taking me forever to think about how to phrase everything!

[mdipi]

but in the end it will be so much fun!

[lostinbeta]

So when are the rules coming for this battle :) I am preparing to be annhialated :beam:

[mdipi]

[sintax321]

[mangrove]

Hey ppl!...long time no see...

You're saying that it is so easy to create those images, and i would like to know how, if u have a tutorial or something, cuz i can make that kind of stuff but it will take me forever to make them...:-/

Here's the very first I made about 6 months ago...pretty archaic though....it was a kind of essay, i actually won a prize for a series of images that included those...

if u explain me a bit i'm up for a challenge but i dare u to use self images.... u will all have to go and take pictures to ur girlfriends and make them look sexy-grungy!

Oh and KIRUPA!!!! : I sent u an email a couple of weeks ago!!!!...I want to change my NICK....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

thank u guys...i'll be praying for ur replies...:elderly:

[mangrove]

oh and i know that that thing i submitted is not exactly grunge....but it was like my first step.....
i never took the second though :P ...cuz of the work and stuff...but im willing to experiment...so any help will be appreciated....=)

[telekinesis]

Third party moderator, this confuses me. Did anyone read the rules.....

[lostinbeta]

LOL, this thread can probably be deleted. It is going to be nothing but spam for 2 weeks until I battle him.

So..... might as well just wait.

[telekinesis]

Third party moderator, this confuses me. Did anyone read the rules.....

ok um, you have to use grunge brushes, i dunno if you knew that. those can be obtained* from http://share.studio.adobe.com/Default.asp

and what are you talking about the girlfriends thing? just get pics from internet...there is no lack of pretty girls on net, why use self images?

and why are you praying for our replies! :P we are not GODS! :P ....well maybe some think I am
*Mak bows humbly*

[lostinbeta]

Well mdipi, I am pretty much almost done mine, definitely should be done before the 20th.

How about yours? If you get done early we can post then instead of waiting.

[mdipi]

its grunge right? well i didnt know rules were posted so i gotta get cracking.

[lostinbeta]

Due Nov 20th, so you got PLENTY of time :)

[mdipi]

lostinbeta. do you want to use color or no? i prefer no, but if you want to use it i am cool with that. i dont think dan stated grayscale or not.

[mdipi]

lost wanna end this early? i am done and am confedent, so if you want to end it i am down.

[lostinbeta]

I still have to make some slight adjustments. I will submit mine tomorrow (Saturday, 16th).

BTW.... there are no rules against using or not using color, so it is personal preference I am supposing.

[lostinbeta]

Ok, I am ready when you are.

I will post a link to mine after you.

[mdipi]

all done! :P!

[lostinbeta]

That is all just brushes dude.

Ok ok, here is my entry.......

The link to it is...

Now I believe Dan is the one that has to set up the poll. Otherwise I would... lemme recheck the rules.

[lostinbeta]

It doesn't say :-\

Do they just vote in this thread??? It sounds like that is what the rules are saying.

Dan???.... we need help....lol.

[mdipi]

lost cause you are mod, i guess you could just make a poll. thats what you do, poll. btw i never thought that your grung woukd be that good! what brush is that flower?

[lostinbeta]

That flower isn't a brush.

I got the go ahead from Kirupa... the poll is up now.

[lostinbeta]

Oh yeah, I am not voting in this poll.

[morse]

I'd better be off...

*edit* I'm not seeing it...

[lostinbeta]

It is in a sticky thread all the way at the top in the Battle section.

[morse]

ahh...

[lostinbeta]

It is titled "Results: Photoshop Grunge Battle Between Mdipi.com and Lostinbeta"

[telekinesis]

Any moderator can posts battle themes and post polls. But before adding new rules you have to at least make word with my first. Lost, don't worry, I am sure you would make a right choice no matter what. Own him up flower boy! Slap them brushes on mdipi.... :wink: :wink: :P

[lostinbeta]

Ok, now that I know that info, if I ever see a battle get started that doesn't have a theme, and I have an idea, I know I can post the themes and rules. And of course, check with you first :)

[telekinesis]

Themes you can post as you like...but if you edit my sticky post about the rules then tell me first. Besides that you are a semi-god of the battle forum!

[lostinbeta]

I would never edit that without checking for you.

Wow.... I am a semi-god of a battle forum :beam: That has a nice ring to it...., but even nicer is that you are the god of the battle forum...lol.
