Okay guys, heres the rules:
- Dimensions must stay the same-1280x1024
- No rotating or flipping
- Volley must cotain atleast one element from the previous one
- Before you volley say something like "I'm going next" so there is no confusion
Sound good?
Here's the serve for all you blokes.
Serve my babys.
Any takers?
I know there has to be someone.
Perhaps I'll give it a shot.
Hmm.
Idea: Alice - How deep IS the rabbit whole?
Hmm. Please help a poor newb.
I want to make a curved line. Only a line, no fill. I can't acheive this with the pen tool. Please, help.
:eek:
good question!
Could you make a circle with the circle selection tool, stroke it the delete all the parts you don't want until you gewt desired curve? And then free transform it change it to how you want?
Man that is a really bum way of doing it but hey.
You can make a durve with the path tool. Then just put an outer glow on it. Never tried it, but it should work.
I never used paths or the pen tool before.
I need help.
heres some tutorials for adobe photoshop on the pen tool...

You can do the circle tool stroke thing that you said, but that might give it a weird finish.
i thought the same thing... over 1000 posts without a pen tool lol. He must be more into code or something...
more into talking, more like it :p
best way to make a curved line it switch to the paths palette, create a new path. then using the pen tool, click one spot, then move the mouse, and hold your click... a slight drag of the mouse will produce a curve. just like bezier curves like in flash or illustrator.
you can use the path tools to move or alter the points. after you do so, in the path palette, you can stroke the path.
alternatively, you can use larger ovals, and stroke them. duplicate the stroked path, and gaussian blur - around 1.7 - the duplicate under the original to get that "glow"... personally, I hate using layer styles such as drop shadow and outer glow because of the perceived lack of control.
ok, I'm just ol' school.
there's a few ways of doing it virgo. less chat, more read kiddo.
I don't think post count is a very accurate way of determining skill, I think I'm living proof :D
Dammit! I have to back out, guys. Sorry to let you down again. It seems that every time I sit down to start an image, tons of work comes in or Personal life goes to hell instantly.
Once again, I'm sorry :(
P.s. - Perhaps I'll try later in the battle....
Since virgo had to back out, I suppose I'll go next..
this is my first venture into The Arena, hope I did it right (I assume by No Rotating, you mean no rotating the piece used from the previous image?)
Here's Mine
hey leet, nice incorporation of the previous volley. rotation means rotating the canvas. but I like how you worked that.
welcome to the arena, too, btw...
Very Nice!!
Quite nice!
*pops out to finish various essays*
I'll go next

I haven't played around with scan lines in a while.. :)
good looking connelb. I like the image mang.
so is this one dead? :)
I'll see what I can do.
I'll go next.
This is my first image battle so I hope you like it. I decided to do something simple...
Here is my entry...
I likey, everyone!
i guess this is my first time in the arena as well....
here we go, i havent done a battle for a long long time, like since i first arrived at fk. but here u go. my contribution.
it pays homage, to the fact that i always start off trying to create a light piece ( as in light and airy, not in weight) and then half way throught change my mind and decide its easier to make a profound piece when its dark. hence the use of the phrase "{insert cliche here}. anyway, hope u like

its kinda disapointing to do something for a thread and then not to get a single post from anyone, anyway im gonna go cry now
n-gen, last I checked, not all of the responses in the Arena are instant... give it time man.
anyway, pertaining a critique, I like your deskop quite a bit. good colour palette, composition is nice, although I don't like the blue in the picture... a bit too much of a contrast imho.
but overall, good work man.
now stop your crying. you're making a scene ;)
ok, i stopped crying and decided to take what you said into mind and see what i could do. i changed a lot of stuff and in the end it turned out much much better in my opinion
have a look:

it reminds me a little of the lion king colour scheme for some reason, do u see what i mean?
yeah, see the Lion King influence big time... I like this version much better btw.
although, I'm just not a fan of Brush Script (font)...
{insert nocturna brushes here}
:D
bingo,
there good brushes, but because everyone knows them there a little tacky now. but maybe i didnt make it clear, that was the whole idea. making fun out of the "generic" thought proving (yeah right) material that i see all the time
sorry, it looks like im hogging this thread,
lets see some more wallpapers please
Not hogging it. Good discussions. The thread just fell out of everyone's conscience, that's all.
