Decent volley Carly. Everything is pretty good, but I think whatever that pile of blur is on the right hand side looks out of place.
oh, the fur?
yeah it's a bit rubbish isn't it!! :(
edit: basically i had hte idea for hte volley im my head, and started doing it, but it took me way longer than i expected, and then i ran out of time really, so had to get it up. but yeah it's not a work of art really!!
No worries, time constraints and all. I definately feel you on that one.Quote:

like the idea, even if the pile is a little blurry, there is something strong in the pic
maybe the floor should blend a little more
*burp*

Ew clean that up.
Nice one Zac. I'm liking it.
It's not rubbish at all! The pile of fur lets it down a little bit but other than it's a tight image. Nice idea!Quote:

i want to get into doing more photomanips in the future. they're just so time consuming especially when you've not got a lot of experience!!
Here we go...

this is my first serve...EVER, so if i'm doing anything wrong, just inform me, not the greatest image i've done, but hey i wanted to hurry and submit it.
wow, were are all these new kids coming from??? :D
Nice one there rhyeen....some of the typography is a tad off in my opinion compared to the image in the background...but overall an AWESOME first post! :) Good job!
thanks there! glad you liked it, i'll work on that on my next pic
Rhyeen I love the textures in this image. Great colors as well. Welcome to the arena, now go throw down in a private battle ;)
i don't know if thats the smartest idea just yet, i haven't had the program for that long (like a week or so). But hey, if a battle opens. I'll give it a try. :D
i call dibs on the next serve. :p
you almost got that serve done yet mrkvavle?
im working on it but its not coming out right and some things came up so im not going to be able to finish. sorry. :(
wait...so your abandoning us? Eh. Thats fine, i'm just messing, anyways, now whos up to take his place?
Touche Zacaboo! I like it alot!
ill have something by the weekend
lol I'm seeing that statement alot lately ;)
oooh that's really interesting. i think i like :D
shame the top of peacock's head is off canvas, but that's just a minor.
overall- :thumbsup:
cool idea. I'm not sure about the way you blend the b&w borders with the previous image. A little harsh to my tase. The center of the pic is very interesting though.
I aggree that the center of the image is very interesting. I love the idea behind this one. The blending is to abrupt for my tastes but that is a personal preference. I wish there was more of the color pallete from the center feathers...
thanks ppl
Carly: now u can see the top bit ;)
Nguma&pea: ive made b&w a bit lighter if that's what u mean
anyway, its been fun making this image.....gotta go back now to my battle with Pointguard. Maybe i'll drop by some other time :D
nice return, thank goodness someone got this post up and runnning again
wait...hey! I didn't notice that...the feathers come out of the pic! Ha, brilliant! I love it!
Holy **** Juju.
Damn cool image!
hey...image rotation means instead of 350*700 it could be 700*350, right?
What do you mean?Quote:

I think before you added that yellow bar up there that the image was better.
Dude, I honestly love it. Thanks for tearing through the boundaries and keeping my creativity heightened. I noticed you kept the same burning level of contrast in the previous image and in your peacock. Nice unity. The peacock also compliments the previous images hue well and gray intermission between the two colors is a nice buffer. I love your organic textures but, more importantly, your interesting composition of them. The peacock isn't just poking through a lovely window frame, but really a barrier of conceptual thinking. He's coming from a world of color and through my gray vision, showing me how sharp and lucid life can be. Haha, I'm sure you think that's bull**** because it's probably no where close to your intentions, but because it is what it is for me, I personally think this piece is gorgeous, and that my friend is what art is all about. Taking risks, opposing pretensions, and breaking the barrier. Keep up the great work.Quote:

Yea, not everyone has that ugly yellow background. I changed that eons ago. :)Quote:

Zac: lol. im glad u like the piece Zac. But no, it was never my intention of anything you mentioned. actually i had a very hard time working with rhyeen's last image, so in the end i just tore it apart (sorry, rhyeen :) ) and used whatever stock i could find.
? are we allowed to change FK BG color? i didnt know that.Quote:

hey no i completely agree, thats what i get for creating a image in 30 minutes. :)
There is a box at the bottom of every page that lets you change the theme. You can also change it in your User CP.Quote:

to be honest with you guys ive never messed with the other themes and Ive gotten so used to the yellow that Im afraid to change it.
