dricciotti VS. >flashl!ght< ::: Castles in the Clouds

[Dricciotti]

Its been about a year....
I got inspired the other day when I saw an image of somebody making a bunny in the clouds, so i tried it myself. It was fun.

The Challange:
3 images each
Theme: Cloud manipulation
Image Size: dont care.
Turnaround: 5 days.

Since I'm already involved in a match with Squidlips, I'll hold on this opportunity for now, but if you don't have any takers after a while I'd love to get in on this one.

[Dricciotti]

Anyone, anyone?

It is like a ghost town in here. I just saw a tumble weed roll across my browser

[>flashl!ght<]

Cool concept.

You looking for a typical "direct element from previous image used" or a stream of inspiration "cloud manipulation" type thing?

[Dricciotti]

Does not have to use a previous element. Just keep with the theme of cloud manipulations. Building off the concept of the previous image or using a part of it is always a plus, but only if you want

[>flashl!ght<]

Ok, cool, I'll take. Image tomorrow.

[>flashl!ght<]

Sorry for the delay (due to holiday.) Using the rabbit from your image. More challenging than I thought!

[Dricciotti]

Very cool! I like how the bird is white and coming out of the dark clouds. The texture of the white clouds is nice. You must have used a completely different technique than me.

I will get started on mine on Monday

like both images for different reasons:

serve: just loving the realistic feel of the rabbit in the clouds. is there meant to be a link to the kids tortoise and rabbit story? or that just me

volley: dark and dramatic. dark winxp desktop image feel.

Lookin good here guys. I really like the idea of cloud manips.
I always loved looking at clouds when I was a kid.

[Dricciotti]

I tried 3 or 4 ideas which played off your image, but none of them worked well. So I just kept with the animal theme and made this:

[>flashl!ght<]

Nice man, I really like the concept. The caterpillar looking forward to his future.

[lefteyewilly]

well holy crap. i had my doubts about what would be produced from this theme, but i've been proven very wrong.

Very nice stuff. Especially Flashlights. amazing.

Magnetos.....this battle is between Dricciotti and Flashlight now. If it were open you'd be able to post as many times as you wish based on the previous image. Yours is very nice though. You can start your own battle on any theme or join in on one of our open battles at anytime man. your work is outstanding in the arts forum, and we'd love to have you here.

[silverx2]

the last two have been really strong guys.

I think flashl!ght has a thing for birds of prey (or something against cute bunnys).

Check out his kung-fu entry about half way down the page here.

I knew that cloud eagle had a familiar feel. (and it is still amazing by the way)

[>flashl!ght<]

I think flashl!ght has a thing for birds of prey (or something against cute bunnys).

Yes, most certainly. And vertical images.

[groupof1]

It's great that you have found a creative outlet for your bloodlust.

[Dricciotti]

You still alive flash?

[>flashl!ght<]

Yes, sorry man, crazy life blah blah. It's coming, though. I'm leaving Monday through Wednesday so I intend to take some deliberate time to have an image before then.
