melrose for DQS
http://forum.24-7media.de/files/vs_fk-final_830.jpg
Is that the mountain from "An Encounter of the 3'rd Kind" in the background?
Guys who's next for us?
You took the words right out of my mouth.
P.S. melrose nice image dude!
i need to get this out of my way, so if no one minds, i'll go next.
*pom poms out*
All yours man!
I call for the round after this one.
resisting urge to quote Nats pom poms in sig...or attempt one of many witty possible returns in fear of a slapped face :devil:
wise choice
keepin it goin.

Quite like this Lefteye. You did a damn good job using what was offered from the last drop!
meh, i'm not too happy with the outcome of this, but given another day i'm sure i would have impressed more. Over at DQS, they thought we were forfeiting, so i didn't want to delay anymore than the 48 hour turnaround time we specified.
If it's o.k. with you guys I call next after Natsia! :)

So it's not forfeited after all.
Ok back from weekend, saw drop now.
Will have something up soon.
Its going to be rushed to keep in with the time constraint so bare with me guys.
Please don't compromise the quality of your drop to make the time frame. The people in this battle seem to understand not to think its a forfeited battle anymore.
Hendrik that's a fine drop man!
Yeah, try to make them good because you're representing the entire FK Arena. You carry all our hopes and dreams of raging victory with you when you step out onto the field of battle to face your opponent head on in pixel-to-pixel no holds barred graphical combat. You are to ask for no quarter and take no prisoners. Your goal is to leave your opponent weeping while he contemplates his own lack of artistic worth in the fetal position beneath his desk. :devil:
Go get 'em, tiger! :yarr:
... In that case.
Im deleting this file and starting again :D!

I'm sure you'll do us proud, Nats. :D
nats, if it's anything like your last drop, keep it. that was an amazing piece of artwork.

Ah, you have surpassed yourself, Nats. Spankin' good job, girl! :cool::thumbsup:
Did you draw that chick from scratch or is it from stock?
Thanks Rush.
Fish-girl is from the sorded recesses of my mind, she was done in Illustrator.
The fish are from a brush pre-set in corel draw, the background from the last drop and lighting effects photoshopped.
Should've done more on the bubble / globe thing, but I didnt want to take too long so posted it.
Idea came from the lyrics to the song I posted.
Damn! That's sick Natsia!
Seriously awesome image!
My only nit-pick would be the glow on the raised hairs next to the halo, they distract me from the halo a little bit.
Thanks Matt, good point on the glow. There was something bothering me there... I was moving the halo all over the place trying to figure out what it was.
:D
Thanks man!
Thats a sweet comp Natsia... forgive me for intruding everyone. None of you know me yet as im quite new. Just admiring everyones talents :)
Welcome to the arena and thanks.
I expect a 10 page essay on who you are, where you hail from and what talents you posses.
:D
That was a joke btw. Some new kids can't tell...
lol, i havn't written 10 pages since university! I dont even know if im that interesting lol! Although a joke i probably should let everyone know im freelance web designer but im really keen to spend more time on creating some nice comps. (Clients permitting!) Never joined a design forum before so you guys are the first. And what a lovely bunch of people you all are :) Keep up the good work and hopefully i will battle one of you in the near future! This arena deal is a wicked idea!
Start a battle then man!
Read the FAQ (on the main page in the Arena), make a pic and invite challengers.
Or go have a look at a few of the open battles and start there.
Just... Stay out of the lounge. It's a soul sucking void.
Really.
I'm sure this was unintentional, but I just noticed a very cool perpectual trick that is going on with her face. If you see her mouth as a nose, it looks like she's kind of a wolf-woman, with the shading under the cheeks lending the slight suggestion of a lupine snout. This gives her something of a shamanistic appearance, as if a beautiful woman in restful repose is communing with her spirt guide.
Superbly well done, and congrats on reaching yet another level of artistic expertise. :)

Kidding. God, only thing I hate about arena, compliments.
... Actually compliments in general, I don't take them well.
Thanks again.
The wolf thing is completely unintentional. She's supposed to look like a fishy thing.
Get off the drugs man!
lol @ Natsia... yeah get off the drugs man. Creative minds are a beautiful thing. Its great how people percieve imagery in a multitude of ways. Thats the beauty of it. (dont do drugs kids... they are naughty, bad! lol!)
If it's going to elicit comments like that, I am sorely tempted. :devil::DQuote:

Stoney: Please don't lol. You'll force me to use my 1337 r0x0rz 5p33ch on you man! Like omg.
lolz.
i dont understand... (lol) ok im done with the lollin. I get into bad habit of putting it after everything i say. sad but true nevertheless.Quote:

Now all we need to do is work on the grammar.
I keed, I keed!
No. I don't.
Any news from DQS? Who's taking the next round? When can we expect a reply?
nats, i'm going to post yoru image over there so they know they're up.
Awesome vector work nats, love it.
I'm sure they'll lob it back to us within the allotted time frame. Eager little beavers, those DQS folks. You have earned the right to sit back and relax, basking in the magnificence of what you have created. Enjoy this time until once again we must call upon your talents to carry the day for FK. :)
In recognition of your efforts I bestow upon you the title of Mistress of Pixels!. You will be granted lands and holdings befitting your new station, and a day of celebration will be named in your honor. >bows deeply and hands over the bejeweled mousepad* monogrammed in the traditional manner along with the official french maid's outfi...err, robe of office<
* Do not eat, wash, run with, or use as a floatation device.
im not gonna lie, i was talking to someone about this battle of the sites, and i said "damn i hope nats busts out something amazing" and damned if you didnt just kick this whole battle up a notch. Hopefully those boys over at dqs start putting out some good images now.
Jeeesh... No pressure for the next round now.. Not at all! :PQuote:
