thats what i think too, yellow just looks the cleanest...hey is anybody working on the next volley?
I got used to another color theme until I realized that so many of you mudda fuggas use the yellow board color for backgrounds in so many of your images, including your avatars, and it just makes any other color theme not work because there is so many spots of #ffdb5a all over the place.Quote:

hope ya like it
awesome! Great job!
i feel theres some sort of imablance somewhere but i cant put my finger on it.
I like it as well. I think the imbalance comes from the contradicting focal points in the image. The eye obviously gravitates towards the opening in the leaves towards the middle. On the other hand, the peacock on the very right side of the image is pretty overpowering and bright. Overall, i like the vibrance and concept of the volley. Good job!
yes i saw how the peacock does that too, but i couldn't find anyother spot to put the thing.

thanks to ijesdoorn and sol one for the stocks from sxc.hu
pretty slick volley, tom.
is that a meerkat?
Why thankyou Sir O....and yes that is indeed a meercat....
How the heck did you know that off the top of your head?
I volunteer to volly it next :p
i like the desolate feeling of this pic. My only comment would be that the peacock doesn't blend weel enough and then attracks your eye
My First Volley ever -
-go on throw your comments at me, I still need a lot to learn...
er.. how do you attach files bigger than 300kb again? :doughnut:
wow hey, don't do that, just set down the jpeg quality, trust me it doesn't change that much till you get lower then medium quality...
from the arena rules:
1. Images can be any size - to be agreed between participants but filesize of the final image should be less than 150k for people on dialup connections. - Anything over 150k should be linked to and if possible, post a 400x300 or small thumbnail to give us an idea of the pic.
Ahh there we go I forgot that part of the rules. :doughnut:
...and the rules of this thread say that images are supposed to be 700 x 350 px

care to resize...?
OOPS! I must have forgot that as well...
Sorry mods :p
There We go...
err...not the greatest pic, the kung fu is out of place, typograpyhy off color, shadows...don't even look like shadows, and the tree background has a dull color (try using levels to get stronger darks and lights)
i like the idea behind it tongxn- the shadow ninjas :D but the execution could be better.
for your first attempt i wouldn't say it was terrible. i've seen a lot worse and i've done a lot worse!!
Notch for the weekend.

About the Quality:
My mum's getting mad about me working on something like that - taking 1 hour though - like she's not mad about anything else I do on the computer - The only thing she don't care about is me learning Language off language sites... *annoyed*
Well, excuses excuese excuses...
...mmm, dead for almost a week. ill put something up just to keep it rolling. so bare with me
I will be leaving again and don't know when I'll have a chance to drop again but here is a little contribution.

Peace!

Very cool volley.
very well done, but what did you use from previous image?
the frog???at least that's what i see
EDIT: i know he didn't directly mask the frog from teh previous image (which is usually preferred...) but i think it works
Nep, I think it's good that you didn't compromise the quality of your piece just to incorporate the exact frog pixels that are already at such a low resolution. (Oh no, you f'd up the game! :rolleyes: ) The frog you used is actually very similar looking in it's pose and angle. I would have loved to see those highlights a little whiter but overall, I get a strong, comprehensive feeling from this image.
well i felt like pointing out it was a different frog, i was wondering if there was actually something from the other image in there (besides the frog)Quote:

creative attempt, but you broke the rules.
don't you think you could have done the same thing with the same sized canvas? then you wouldn't have to worry about the ghosting around all the edges of the PNG (which don't look very good). You might have wanted to PS out the Domino's logo from the ball, it kind of detracts from the image. I know that the previous volley is what's being shattered, but i just don't see a cohesiveness in this image to make me happy.
Sorry juju...
I agree that the idea is interesting but the actual image is lacking a few things. Besides breaking the size rule, which can be o.k. sometimes, it just seems like you didnt really do much on this image.
The shattered pieces have a white line around them. You could have avoided this by doing a JPEG image with a background color of #FFDB5A (FK yellow).
It is great to see that you are putting up stuff in this thread though! Keep it up :)
yes, sorry about that. i kinda forgot i called for the turn :D I will post a more friendly version of it a bit later. (look for my edit)
i realize not many are in the arena nowadays so ill try posting up my contributions more often here until it starts to pick up again.
ok done, ive included a thumbnail of the first version so ppl know what the other 2 were talking about
I think I liked the first version better Juju. Bugger the rules :)
