hmm setting the tone high... good serve, served chill

I'm not sure about the "take your best shot" but the rest feels more than right.

We're going to have some fun :)

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.

this is battle of the month potential.

Nguma...just out of curiosity...did you come from another forum with battles? or have you just been browsing the arena here?

I'm highly impressed with your work, btw.

ooh i'm watching this one for sure.

interesting contrast of styles i'm thinking.....

Thanks
eeee.. i do post on other forums, but its usually about asking actionscript tips.

O, i'm digging the concept, but the whole image isnt working for me. Seems like it's unfinished and the font treatment is not on par with your usual. Nonetheless, this should be a rockin battle.

pressure pressure

baby, pretty.

O hasn't been battling for a bout a year, let him get back into the groove. I think we are just used to CT since he's got a similar style.

Nice serve O, can't wait to see how this one goes.

I dont think O needs to be defended. I simply gave my opinion on his image. I think he's an amazing artist, and has proven it time and time again here and elsewhere. I just thought this wasnt up to par with his usual work.

I did not however, base his work on CT's work...because in my mind, they are not similar. I never compare to different styles to one another and then give a critique with someone elses style in mind. CT did not even cross my mind when i looked at O's image. Only thing they have in common (other than the fact that they are the 2 march madness champs) is that their imagery is held at a higher standard than most. I hardly think he's rusty either, the guy has major talent and i'm sure he doesnt lose it.

Now with that said, I'm excited to see this matchup as is most of the Arena crew.

Good start O. Should be a good battle!

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments, but this image was done in my mind before I started work on it, and it turned out exactly as I had planned, I like it.

O, it doesnt matter if you like it. Didnt highschool teach you anything? It's all about what other people think! ;)

I like it all, and I really like the foggy water. :thumbsup:

and hop... we go dark... don't like to go dark ... dark ... dark ..... da.r..k .. :zzz:

heh, looks like the last few have been beat down the lawn gnome with a stick days. you slipping O? Apparently no lack of time to play.
seriously tho, the building and rock look completely sick, awesome job. The "best shot" typo blows though, you need some more fonts on that machine

I will return! ...eventually

:zombie:

Fearless, sorry but Me not understand everything what you just said
(thee first sentence in particular)

but again, im not completely proficient in english

yes. the fonts on my computer stink. o has reiterated that – constantly.
