[ondraedan]

Quick reply!
I used the poop, of course!

[lefteyewilly]

nice start guys!

Really glad you're back O, I was afraid we lost you for good.

First off Lefteye where and the kcuf kcuf did you get that avitar now the battle i like the comedy of the first image the second image looks like a toy pretty cool. very clean.

[Extricate]

I think that avatar is a mix between the rock guy from Fantastic 4 and maybe lefteye himself? Just a guess......

Anyways, nice job dude!! That made me laugh when i read the text, but i cant seem to find the poop. It is early for me though, maybe when i am more awake..

[groupof1]

I'll buy the Thing mixed with Lefty, but where did those gnarly teeth come from?

As for the images, both are great. The first is not the highest quality execution I have seen, but the concept is great, and exploding crap (literally) is always a winner.

The second is cool as well. Very clean and well blended. The plane reminds me of the G.I. Joe jet from back in the day.

Great start, both of you!

[ondraedan]

Thanks for the comments guys!
As far as the poop-use goes, I cut it out from your image, put a flaming orange overlay on it, brightened it up, used smudge tool quite a bit, and viola, I had the beginnings of an explosion effect. I did use a couple more firey explosion stocks in addition to the altered poop, so it is a little hard to separate the poop from the rest when looking at it.

btw, lefteye's avatar is a screencap from a movie called Slither. Good flick. Dumb. But awesome.

[lefteyewilly]

Thanks for thinking that my avatar is actually me...i may not be brad pitt, but i'm definitely not that ugly

And O is right, it's from Slither.

Keep these images going guys, just seeing life here makes me want to get an image or battle going.

[Extricate]

Eh its alright..

[ondraedan]

nice collage! i'll have something finished by tomorrow morning'ish

[ondraedan]

This actually took much longer than the last 16 hours or so since your volley, it was something I was working on since after my last one, just hoping I'd be able to work in something from your next image. As it turned out, you had a tree silhouette which fits absolutely perfectly. I did a lot of lighting and blending work in this, especially with the rope, the model, and the big tree behind her, and I think it came together rather nicely.

[Zacaboo288]

woah! awesome stuff guys!

[groupof1]

Great work there O. I would say that the blending and lighting work was well worth it. This is a great image and has a real fairy tale quality to it.

I like it a lot. The only (nit picky) things I see are that the girl's foot and hand seem out of focus. The second is that I had to get about 8 inches from my monitor to read the text. Of course that could just be me.

Other than that, it is a great work. I'm curious to know if you "drew" any of this freehand.



...anyone up for an August Madness? Just a thought.

[ondraedan]

Thanks for the feedback groupof1! I agree, the foot especially always looked wrong to me.
I did redo the hair from scratch using the paintbrush, the smudge tool and the dodge/burn tool. I also did parts of the rope from scratch, e.g. the loop around the jar.

[littleMatt]

Awesome stuff as usual O

This battle is rockin'!

[thedarkness]

my favorite part is the white rat. chilling like where's the cheese.

[monkeysquid]

very tastey! i've seen that girl before somewhere.
