photoshop battle

[kaotic]

i noticed that some of you guys are into photoshop, id be willing to battle some people
freestyle abstract stuff is my speciality.
i just wanna see the extent of talent here.
nothing really serious:smirk:

[telekinesis]

How about a battle with the moderator? :bandit:

[Makaveli]

Oh DAM..ur gonna battle DAN....BATTLE DAN!!! i am eager to see this

[Ryan]

im up for a ps battle, lets get some rules goin

=ryan=

[telekinesis]

Theme: Make your own solar system wallpaper
Programs: Any programs that will help you make a still image.
Size: No smaller than 1024x768
Time: 10 days (November 25th)

Good luck!

[Ryan]

sounds grand. hopefully more people will join this battle, its no fun when its just afew. this is a great part of the forum, its cool to see other peoples work,

=ryan=

[kaotic]

hmm well i guess i would have to resign on this one, a solar sytem is just a little out of my reach.
sorry

attached is something that i whipped up real quick to show you more of the stuff that i do.
i know that im not that good, but i hope that doing some battle will better my skills

[sinfiniti]

i'm in and will post my submission shortly!
:)
jeremy

[kaotic]

my entry
not the right size but looked very ugly as 1024X768
i have no experience working with 3d shapes and the likes so what i did was make an opaque circle the gave it a gradient and then gave it a 3d transform and rotated it a tad then i put a lens flare behind it
then i decided it didnt look 3d enough so i gave it a neon glow then i put a radial blur on it.

[Makaveli]

sweet....maybe u should add in more planets! its supposed to be the solar system...:P

[kaotic]

ya, just wanted to see what you guys thought, being that im a virgin to this area :P

[Ryan]

that didnt look bad at all, like the last post said, just add some planets, play around with some of the filters, remember 3d on a 2d screen isnt really 3d, just play around.
i should prolly start my "solar system" ill get it in when i finish it. well il be off.

[Makaveli]

oh boy oh boy oh boy!I think this battle is going to be good because the topic is so easy yet so hard because you can let your imagination run wild in space! I've seen tons of space pics on net... the effects possible and creativity possible during this battle is endless so thats why i think it will be a defining battle for this section of the forum. The possibilites with planets truly is amazing....Kaotic created a nice image even though he is a newbie...imagine the xperts and watnot, i'm eager to see what everyone is making *peeks over Ryan's shoulder*

edit: it was kaotic who said he was a virgin to this area himself so i am in no way dissing him, but that kaotic.jpeg water ripple thing is awsome...just wanted to clarify becuz some people are probably itching to get a fight started...or maybe i'm paranoid. :nerd:

[kaotic]

im glad oyu like it
im working on one right now that has multiple pplanets in it, but i just cant seem to get a decent looking sun behind them and give it all a good lighting effect
*rips out hair

im also very eager to se what the others have in store for me

[lostinbeta]

You do know that once you submit it is officially submitted right?

I don't believe you can submit, make changes and submit again :-\

[Makaveli]

maybe its just me but i luv space, and no i dind't want to be an astronaut when i was growing up! :P
if i were participating in this( i am not) i would make the sun really intense because in most of the pics i've seen, the sun is bright and really catches your attention.

Example
http://www.maharishi-india.org/image/p7-SolarSystem.jpg
is a nice pic, but the sun looks really weak and that takes away from the overall effect...imagine a bright red/gold star pulsatin in the middle....something like this
http://www.poster.net/map/map-the-solar-system-4001817.jpg
that sun in the middle would like nice...

W00t!!i dunno just my thoughts and forgive me for my excitement...i'm a sucker for a pretty digital image!.....

[morse]

He, I would enter again...let the guy. Since dan hasnt posted to jip any ideas off of... Personally I don't see a problem, course I'm 1) not a moderator 2) I have never battled before 3) I really have no idea what everybody else thinks

[lostinbeta]

I don't know the rules exactly for battling. Dan is the mod of this section so he is the one that determines this.

I just know what I have seen before, and that is that once you submit, that is it. It is up to Dan after that.

[morse]

true true

[Mr. X]

[telekinesis]

[Makaveli]

WHAT!!!!??????

[lostinbeta]

Look at the smilies mak, makes him go :) not :(

Took me a while too...lol.

[kaotic]

lol my bad
i enjoy good art, i have had a few bland ones, but for the most part i like to have colors its just more visually stimulating to me

[telekinesis]

I'm down with colors in wallpapers, below is a wallpaper I made a while back, with more colors than I usually use, but I thought it came out nice:

http://www.danalu.com/digital_oasis.jpg

[h88]

I really liked yours Dan! winner, maybe :wink:

[morse]

Wow that is sweet. I'v seen that before, probobly in one of your tutorials. I like =)

[lostinbeta]

Yeah it was used in the image fade with inertia tutorial :)

[sintax321]

Dan could u maybe make some quick tut's on how u achived some of these effects. I like a lot of the streaming color and would really like to know how to do this.

[Makaveli]

thats amazing Dan....i cant wait to see your solar system wallpaper.
Just curious, you dont have to answer, are you only using PS to make it?

[kaotic]

thats very cool dan
looks like it might have been made in 3ds Max
but very nice
i too am very interested in seeing your solar system
but after seeing that wallpaper my entry isnt looking soo good:-\
good luck all=)

[Makaveli]

when is the due date? :rambo: blah, who is in this battle? we shall see i need to go smoke a joint peace out

[lostinbeta]

The due date is the 25th, it is on the first page of this thread.

[Makaveli]

bah dont go all high and mighty on me now when i need sleep :sleep: :sleep: ....sometimes i hate being an insomniac i want to sleep but i cant too many traumatic events :sleep:

[lostinbeta]

Hello fellow insomniac :)

Join david and I.... :beam:

How else do you think I get such a high post count? I can't sleep, so I post instead...lol.

[Makaveli]

tru tru...so do you scour every single board and message in the forum? and do you post anywhere else besides kirupaforum?

[lostinbeta]

Nope, I actually don't read every thread here, if there are some in sections I know nothing about (such as Swift 3d) or the titles are on subjects I know nothing about then I don't even bother :-\

I post occasionally on Bit-101, but not often, spurts here and there.

[Makaveli]

c00! keep up the good work lost

[lostinbeta]

Thanks :)

[Makaveli]

if i'm not mistaken today was/is the 25th...does kaotic win by default since noone else entered their submissions?! *raises kaotics hand in victory* :P

[lostinbeta]

Today is the 25th, but where I am it is 12:19am on the 25th, they have until 11:59pm to get their entries in :)

[Makaveli]

smart dude :P share some brain power wit me

[kaotic]

by the way if i do win by default does that mean it was a legitimite win?
or does that just mean that everyone elses would have been way better than mine if they did submit them?:ninja:

[Makaveli]

na i was kidding ur not the default winner....yet.... *lowers Kaotics hand in defeat*

[telekinesis]

This battle will continue for 2 more days, sorry for the delay of my submittion, but I was in a car accident a bit ago and haven't had much time for anything!

[Makaveli]

so is this due today? where are the submissions!!

[kaotic]

well they still have 2 hours eastern time or 6 if we go alaska time

[Makaveli]

hmm..thought there would have been more paticipants....was a good theme

[Makaveli]

Not yet! :beam:

[Makaveli]

in horse commentator voice " well folks this has been a pretty undramatic race so far and i would say you have not gotten your moneys worth and my throat is sore and i like dogs....wait a minute....whats this! a blue horse has emerged from the smoke and is galloping towards the finish line , he is rapidly making gains on the horse known as Kaotic ....and they're neck and neck, its going right down to the last mile with both contestants riding the ride of their lives , the crowd is going wild and i have to pee....and the winner is....!!!!!!! "

[Makaveli]

:::.BUMP.:::

[Oblique]

Yes Dan! Please make a tutorial on how you did some of those effects. Im a n00b in Photoshop and could really appreciate any help I can get =)

Danke!
Oblique

[lostinbeta]

I have no idea what is going on with this battle.

It isn't like Dan to not submit anything in a battle.

[kaotic]

well please submit anyone i want to see what kinda stuff there would have been submitted

[Makaveli]

hmm.....hmmm.....

[morse]

Oblique, I believe that Dan made that with a 3D app such as 3D Studio Max, not Photoshop. Speaking of Dan... where is he???

[lostinbeta]

Disappeared maybe.

That wallpaper by Dan was made in 3d studio max, but I believe it was also edited in Photoshop for the color effects and such.

Dan was in a car accident not too long ago so he hasn't been around much :(

[kaotic]

i hope he is allright

[Makaveli]

i think i seen him posting in another topic...probably forgot about this one since he has so much on his mind

[telekinesis]

I'm still here. Just busy with my insurance company and such. I think I am getting either a Ford Lightning or a Ford SuperCrew. What can I say, I'm a Ford man!

[lostinbeta]

So what is going on with this battle dan? Only you can finalize it now :)

[telekinesis]

If I don't submit something by thursday then kaotic wins.

[morse]

Good luck Kaotic, Dan. I'll be watching this one closely.:) :cowboy:

[kaotic]

:*( please im to young to lose...
ok maybe not
looking forward to seeing your stuff danny boy:)

[Makaveli]

well i guess this "battle" is done.... would have been nice to see what people would have come up with considering how easy it is!! anyways, if people have no idea on how to create planets here is a tutorial that might be of some help, enjoy!
