It's good to hear that players are willing to be taken out of their comfort zones for the greater benifit though.

one thing i'd like to add everyone... transitions are rarely easy in this game. you may just end up trying to continue from a cloud filter, noisy textures, weird gradients... these things are invitable. the easy way out is to simply put a stop to it with a sudden change (an image overlap, a big overlapping shape, etc), but FKer's are not known for giving up on a challenge now are they?

If you get a difficult transition, embrace it! the best volleys in this game have *always* been the ones involved in a long, seemingly uninterupted series of images with well made and subtle transitions. myself, i am much more impressed with a well transitioned image than one with sudden stops on both sides.

and just like Gen was saying, if you get left to continue an image that isn't in your style, don't try and change it to your style, because rollcanvas always changes style by itself (similar to a game of 'chinese whispers')

insted, try and stick to the style for as long possible (within practical reason), and play with the style you've been given. chances are that you'll not only get some broadened photoshop experience, but you might just suprise yourself!

We need to get the file format down ahead of time this year so my image isnt the first to look like crap in the canvas lol.

I think everybody should use PNG-24 and send that to EVP. Bigger filesize but he can crunch it down to an uniform jpg using his monitor/RGB settings.

**RUSHVision** · 01-21-2007, 03:42 AM

Don't worry, sounds like EVP has all that worked out.

**TheWaste** · 01-21-2007, 04:09 AM

well hello to you too rush and pea...
its okay, don't say hi or anything

**RUSHVision** · 01-21-2007, 05:12 AM

Hey playa...glad you could make it.

**pea3698** · 01-21-2007, 11:39 PM

Wud up waste. Good to see you around. lol sorry I was about to say hey but baby pea had other ideas lol.

When is this due to start. I may be willing to take turn number one. what the h3ll lol No role like the lead role right. but it does depend on starting time.

**TheWaste** · 01-22-2007, 01:04 AM

waste sends extra glory points to whoever goes first (for bravery) and last (for double transition stitching skills)
yup... glory points... whatever the hell those are

**Adobemedia** · 01-22-2007, 08:18 AM

yup... glory points... whatever the hell those are

I wonder...

I'd never take first. I suck anyway!

EVP, When are we going to start?

**EVPohovich** · 01-22-2007, 01:52 PM

Yo', what's um man? Long time no see... Glad you made it around again. If you think going last was hard wait until round two...matching 3 sides...

I am still waiting to hear back from some people and then we can start this. Looks like middle of this week we can start.

So, pea3698 are you requesting first go then...?

**pea3698** · 01-22-2007, 04:21 PM

Yeah i'll take slot #1 (yeah I got a pair lol) I have an interview for the Art Institute Wen. night so if everyone is ok with starting at the earliest thursday i'm game. Can we get a limited sneak peek at the time frame per turn?

You will only post the RIGHT-MOST 100 pixels for the next submitter.
I will be choosing the order in which participants submit. You may request a space, but I will have the final say.
Turnaround is 3 days. If you need an extension I will allow 1 day ONLY.
All final images AND your 100 pixel leaves are to be sent to me at: evp [at] evpohovich [dot] com BEFORE you post your leave. I will be approving all leaves before they go live as to prevent any mistakes.
As always, NO WHINING! This is not your mommy's lap and I don't abide whiners.

**Adobemedia** · 01-22-2007, 04:44 PM

Nice. I can't wait.
(Damnit. I'm going to get my butt kicked by all the other photoshop masters, but heck, i will try.

Its not a competition. This is a battle where everyone should just bring their best stuff and make an amazing piece of art.

Is each person doing 2 volleys then; one for each row? If so, I think the order should be different for each row so you dont have to follow the same person twice

**1stbite** · 01-22-2007, 04:52 PM

your after me adobemedia... i do my best to leave you a clean transition dude

No kidding!

**ctranter** · 01-22-2007, 08:51 PM

I'd like to give this a whirl.

**pea3698** · 01-22-2007, 11:10 PM

yeah baby! this is going to be bad arse.

**TheWaste** · 01-23-2007, 02:32 AM

hold on, whats this about multiple rows EVP? I cant see it anywhere in the rules?
???

**pea3698** · 01-23-2007, 09:29 AM

Hey E, will we get to see the first row before the second? or are we just going to show a strip at the bottom and right?

**EVPohovich** · 01-23-2007, 01:51 PM

PNG-24 format is fine with me as long as you do not use the "Save for Web" feature in PS as it will lighten your image and it will not match the leave.

USE THIS METHOD TO SAVE YOUR IMAGES:
- File >> Save As...
- Select "PNG" in the Format drop-down menu.
- Name your image and hit "Save" or "OK".
- Select "None" on the PNG Options Palette and hit "OK"

Pea, the first row will be revealed once it is complete, and then we will move onto the second row.

I am still waiting to hear back from a few "personal invites", but I am thinking that I will get this Officially Started on Thursday morning. Pea, if you would like to get started on the first drop I say go for it. It would be really nice to have a drop on opening day. I normally don't spend much time on here during the weekends, but I will be keeping an eye on my E-mail as well as this (and the Submissions) thread during this event via my phone. No point in slowing this down on my account.

My messenger is always on, and I have reactivated the voice server, so if you have ANY questions feel free to contact me at your discretion.

I will announce the order on Thursday morning. Only pea3698 knows where he is in the grand order of RCIV...

Good Luck, and Happy Hunting!

Yeah I know you said submissions thread.

**Natsia** · 01-23-2007, 04:12 PM

Hunting?
What are we shooting?

**Adobemedia** · 01-23-2007, 04:26 PM

You don't happen to have a MSN account do you E?

**pea3698** · 01-23-2007, 06:06 PM

I will try my hardest to get something done by opening day, but I can't promise. I meant I could start Thurs. I have to get my portfolio together tonight and I have an interview tomorrow night with a local school. But don't scratch me I have an idea and I will get to it as fast as possible.

**EVPohovich** · 01-23-2007, 06:15 PM

Yes I do, I have an account for everything.....but I use AdiumX on a Mac so those goofy handshake things don't work...

Thanks EVP. Just in case.

**Jujumon** · 01-24-2007, 02:13 AM

can you sign me up please. (i can only submit after mid-Feb if that's OK)

to my understanding, when its my turn I will send the whole image to EVP and only 100 pixel right-edge of my pic to the next person via PM?

**nordberg** · 01-24-2007, 07:19 AM

just found this...please add me if possible.

**DaVulf** · 01-24-2007, 09:01 AM

I really want to do this again this year though, so don't worry about the commitment.
