    RUSHVision vs. JWIN :: Flights of Fantasy

    Alright peeps, it's time for me to throw down. Who wants a piece of me?

    Battle Guidelines:
    Canvas Size: 600x460
    Rotation: Allowed
    Turnaround Time: Up to 7 days
    Rounds: 3 each with my first serve counting as one of my volleys.
    Post Stock?: No


    Theme:
    Creativity and imagination in action. Use your skills to depict a world where thought breeds creation and the only limit is that imposed by your own imagination. By this I mean I would like to see some kind of being (doesn't necessarily have to be human) directly (or indirectly) responsible for said act. I have chosen to go with the 'girl exploring her own imagination' theme...to put a simple label on it...she is delving into a world of her own creation, but it could also be the depiction of something more tangible like when Darth Vader crushed all that stuff in the lab right after he was 'made' using only the power of his mind, or the 'Force'. There are lots of different ways this can be approached. Let me know if this part requires more clarification.

    Basically...you have the power to manipulate time, space, energy and matter. What will you do with it?


    General Notes:
    I am looking for my skills to be seriously challenged with this battle so I want this one to be about quality, not speed. I spend a lot of time on my images so I would prefer to go up against someone who is willing to do the same. Also, naturally some element from the previous volley must be used.

    So you read the 'general notes', right? If you're good with that, then let's do it. Next one's yours.

    As to your question...no, not just some being's imagination, but rather the act of using your imagination/will to create or manipulate energy, matter, or anything in between. Let's assume that as humans we have the ability to create whatever we desire. This is actually true, but there are certain limits imposed by the nature of the universe in which we live. I want a battle that depicts what can happen if those limits are removed.

    In regard to the 'some being' part, I just didn't want to restrict the source of the creation, so to speak. So I would like to see someone or something responsible for what is happening, but it doesn't have to be human. This is all based on the fact that I would like to actually see the source of the imagination or creation. The whole idea of this battle is based on the potential of the willfully directed creative mind. I don't just want to see something happening, I also want to see who is making it happen. Does that make more sense?

    So this isn't about just pushing some pixels to create a pretty picture. The people who have made comments are correct, I don't battle that often. I'm not here to play around with someone who just wants to kill some time. I want to use this as an opportunity to sharpen my technical skills and challenge my creativity. Are you up for that?

    Thanks.

    Now if we can just get Juju to sign off on the guidelines we can officially kick this puppy off. If we don't hear from him soon though, we'll consider the slot to be open.

    no problem for me, taking time is what i do best

    Actually, i wouldnt mind to just do one drop and let another person (like Jwin) to carry on. So it would be like...

    Rush (serve) > me > Rush > JWin > Rush > 'someone'

    I think it would be good for you because u get to see 3 people perspectives instead of just one. But your fight, your call Rush.

    Ill have a return by next thurs (29th)

    Many thanks, Saint.

    If you are looking to start another battle, it looks like I've got
    about nine days to kill before I'm needed again in this one...

    No problem. Thanks for letting me know.

    If JWin is otherwise engaged then it looks like I am still in need of an opponent...
