well i am kinda new to this whole battle thing but if you dont mind i would love to try to give you a run.
so is your lack of an answer to be interpreted as a no or did you just decide not to do it??
just kidding
anyway i am ready anytime unless you have a better offer
I'm interested too.
nope egojab, the Arena et al, has slowed down mainly due the fact that Flashkit servers have been slow lately.
:cap:
what's a mural battle?
:confused:
ya ditto
if it's a multi-person thingy, i'm interested in participating, but it sounds like a 2person thing...
please enlighten us nayades!
Stuart
I WILL!! I have been waiting to do a mural:cool:
-BS
sorry for the delay.. as gerbick said i've had some serious trouble with flashkit, but everything's working now. At least for me :)
Ok, the mural battle idea is to produce a single piece of work, joining the different smaller pieces the people produce. We end up with a long stripe of nice image work. So i'll post the serve this afternoon and some more tips on how to achieve a perfect joint between volleys ;).
Order:
nayades.
egojab.
gerbick.
saint b.

I think that is just it. Six 'players' would be more than fine. More details this afternoon.
that sounds cool!
so do you try to keep a similar style throughout or is it just up to personal taste? i hope my section will be ok... i'm a bit of a n00b
am i right in thinking that you would have to use the edge of the last volley in yours so they have a smooth transition? it actually sounds a bit like the patchworks that i read a bit about
i'm really looking forward to this!
Stuart
That's exactly it! ;)Quote:

Check this one - a fine example of a "Mural".
I don't think it should be restricted to six players. Let this one play out for a little while, and the results will be great. :)
I've been thinking of starting this here as well, so this is like sheer coincidence. I have a help image made already...
http://www.jameseyoung.co.uk/wouter/...guidelines.gif
Rules explained:
You grab the previous image's PSD file. To this, you add 950 pixels on the right (Image>Canvas Size). In these new 950 you make a new image which seamlessly flows over from the previous image. Then you slice off 950 pixels from the left. Then you have the next image.
Oh yeah, I'd like to join in. :D
Looks cool... I'd be interested.Quote:

count me in too :)
me too!!!
i was looking at the instructions you gave and correct me if i am wrong but in order to make the overlap blend properly and keep the size shouldn't you only add 650 pixels to the canvas instead of 950? by adding 950 you are making each portion of the mural 1100 pixels with a 150 overlap instead of 800 with a 150 overlap
sorry if i am wrong
ok, instead of such big images (kinda of slow) I thought we could have a smaller/quicker size, so that everyones has a try, and even two! :) I post the serve here.. I believe it would be fun and quite a challenge to see what you can do with such a small size.. (i've had some problems myself deciding what to start with... ;))
rules..
300x200 kind of tiny, but that will make it more fun and quicker.
going sideways, to the right.
1 day per volley if not less. skipping will be done.
i'll fix the images and give you lot the link as soon as this get's going.

if you need the Ps file egojab, just say it. or email me...;)
classy start nayades
nice one
yeah, just a bit wrong. you are only concerned with the 150 of the 950 that's going to overlap. in otherwords, you overlap the 150, then blend that overlap into your original 800.Quote:

the next person will blend into the last 150 of yours.
are we still overlapping 150 or less because it is smaller??
I don't think overlapping is neccicary...Quote:

you choose how many pixels you overlap (or use from the previous).. but 150 leaves you with just another 150 pix for your own image... :)
you choose... i believe 0 to 50 pixels is ok.. you can choose to continue the previous one a bit, or start (the left border of your piece matching) from the very border.
dunno if i made myself clear... anyway we'll solve any probs as volleys start to come in ;)
Here is the first part i posted it with the serve attached as well i hope that is how it is supposed to go anyway look forward to the rest

If your still taking people, I'm in :cool:
you're up Gerbs...
um... should we keep posting the whole image, because if we do, it's going to (a) skyrocket in file size and (b) be really annoying, because people will keep having to scroll their browser sideways...:confused:
what's the best option? It would be fairly cool if someone was able to make a thing like that example battle had (with the little scroll window and stuff) so that each person could just post their section and have them all collated on one site... any volunteers :p
anyways, lets get this thing going!
Stuart
By the amount of interest, I say we create a seperate thread for the murals and the list order and maybe a .htm page to put them all together.
:)
erm, egojab, care to offer your PSD? the way you ended that doesn't really lend itself well to a continuation.
I'm gonna have to pull something out for this one...
This is gonna be soo fun! :smoov:

:mad:
i hear yer mr. gerbs
too late to sign up??? hope not...
mural... deja vu!?
I can't wait for the next volley. Let's goooooooooooooo. ;)
Maybe next time I shall participate.
What about now?
Won't be long guys
ok adding three more to the list. this is it. no more entries allowed just now. We'll see how it develops, and if we want to continue when everyone has finished then more people could take part.

I'm attaching everything at my site. will give you the link this tomorrow.
BTW don't post the whole image, as ILpie said it would end up too big in file and size... better having it attahced at an url. :) post just your submission benedetta! (you're next!!)
forgot to say ego... you''ve made quite an strange overlap. I think we said overlaping wasn't necessary.. the image you posted joined with mine should make a 600 wide image... and it is only 450 :confused:?????¿¿¿¿???¿¿¿
whoah pull me off that list
NEXT TIME :-PQuote:

Really sorry about the quality of my piece.. either I finish it tonight or tomorrow.
