---! EARLY CANDIDATE FOR SERVE OF THE YEAR !---
very cool pea. whomever picks this up better bring their A game.
Pea, i would love to do this, i think it woudl be a great battle. However, I've agreed to battle EVP and take part in the new roll canvas...and it just so happens i've got about 4 projects that i just got in my freelance job that will have me tied up for quite a while.
That is an awesome awesome serve...i can almost guarantee you'll have one of FK's heavyweights take you on with the quality of that.
And speaking of "SERVE OF THE YEAR" ...i really really think we should have a FK arena awards (and it has nothing to do with a similar thread in the coffee lounge) ...this is the only competitive forum on FK, and this could easily be done...it would bring up the quality of both participants, volleys, and overall traffic to the arena. I wouldn't mind coordinating it if everyone wants to do this.
Such a cool concept and great execution Pea.
yeh lefteye, you and E need to get on that!!! Do I smell the Arena Renaissance emerging?
no. thats the elephant.Quote:

The one thing you could work on however is the text. Its a little blurry in spots and just doesnt fit in somehow. Good work though ;)
Ill take it if you are serious about slow moving.
Im in the middle of a project that is giving me seizures and need a diversion when my brain is flooded with code. I'll stay within your timeline though.
3P
Holy hell Pea!
Insane, brilliant consept!
That's one nice piece of work, pea. I think I have to go with "simply devastating".
Way to put together a prime serve, mate! :)
I'm gonna beg to differ on this one. I think it fits perfectly with the theme of an old war poster, personally.Quote:

I actually got the inspiration from the imagination battle thread. Thanks JWin. For some reason when I looked at your image way back in this idea popped into my head. It just took me a couple of weeks to get around to putting it together. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT FEEDBACK GUYS AND GALS!!
yeah, lets see 3primates throw down...your work rocks!
Nice serve Pea... one of the best I've seen in a while in the Arena. I can't wait to see this battle between you and 3Primates.
I think Lefteye has a good idea about arena awards. We haven't had the action in here that we once had (think about the heat of O and Fearless' battle), and we need something to pick it up again. I like your suggestion Left :).
Hey everyone. I have a quick question. I got the photo of the plain from a government website sometime in the beginning of December from a link given here in the lounge. It had alot of different war time photos. I saved it in my favorites but I think IT may have gotten rid of it. Does anyone know of the link. I know the post had the phrase you owe me one or something like that but I'm not sure what thread it was in. Please if anyone knows the link let me know.
* found a very broad seach containing the photos but im looking more for the page specifically for these images
hey, this battle was just sent out in the newsletter as 'battle of the week'.
pretty good for a battle that hasn't even technically started.
who picked it? is it automated or something? :)
Yes i'd like to thank my wife for her understanding in reference to paying more attention to my computer than her sometimes. I'd like to thank the makers of photoshop for giving the world such a great program to manipulate photos with. Also all of my fellow arena flashkitters for there inspiration, critiques, and and am i forgetting someone.
lol thats cool ill check it out.
Wow, that's the second person inspired by that image. I feel honoredQuote:

Maybe it's based on frequency of posting? All of these posts were made yesterday or today. Seems pretty active to me.Quote:

This is a battle between pea3698 and 3PRIMATES.....
Let's Get It On...
Title changed! And 14 posts were deleted from this thread. :yarr:
Ok then, volleys out of the recycle bin and am opening Photoshop now.
WooHoo. Time to lay down some pain.
3P
Grabs some popcorn. I'm glad the intermission is over :).Quote:

Ok then. Here comes the pain.
Well do ya have what it takes, well do ya? Hehe.
this is going to be a fun battle. I rushed this one a bit because I at least wanted you to have something to work on, seeing as you put together such a nice serve. Take your time, Im going to be busy in code, so you have time to play.

I'm diggin' it, 3P. Man down! :D
Oh it hurts it hurts. Just like I like it lol. Great work, I was worried about getting stumped on this one but you gave me plenty to work with. I'll get to work a soon as possible.
great job blending the bottom pic with the canvas. Cool idea
Holy ****! This battle is looking awsome! Superb work from both!
NOW, we have a battle. Nice work 3P.
I hand in my brushes and tools.
Spectacular work guys, Brava!
Thanks for stroking my ego. LOL
Its been awhile since I've done a battle, and it sure feels good to let the design monster out of its cage. I cant wait to see the next one.

I used the planes and kinda carried over the star concept. Take your time one your return. I'm going out of town tomorrow till sunday. This battle has made me put alot more thought into battles that prior. Kind of a history / photoshop lesson in one.
I like this one Pea. I like the 'old' feel of it, sort of like from an old movie with that grainy aspect. Only thing I can say is that maybe the star should have had some noise to give it the same sort of look.
I'm liking where this battle is headed though. Pretty neat theme you guys have got going on here.
Nice serve + volleys.
I think the last one is lacking alittle in color imo, guess it has its style but doesn't really draw the attention.
Lookin good there. Not really my style and a bit on the grainy side for me, but it does impart a real sense of how war affects people.
the image makes me feel the same way as when I was a kid standing in the front yard watching a tornado form in the distant. For any that live in tornado areas I bet they can attest to the strangeness of it all. The sky gets a funky green/grey the air feels like you could cut it and there is a sense of calm.
3P
Well, this is way outside of my normal style, and I think Im liking it. So far this battle has really juiced up my creativity, so much so I havent been doing anything else.LOL
Might be a hard one to work off, but I know you will come up with something great.

Wow.. That volley is fantastic 3P. Candidate for the awards for sure!
Thanks DaVulf. Its for sure an interesting image. I have seen the soft effect(like on the dandelions) used for awhile now but until now I never tried to duplicate it. I like that look a lot. I think the hardest part was the harness for the bird and the rope. That took some doing to get them to look believable.
Not that harnessed birds and jet bees are believable ;)
3P
I hear you, I definately like the detail work on the harness :).
Maybe a little too much blurring (on the kid and front flowers). I agree with DaVulf that I like the detail on the harness.
Yeah I think I agree on that. Was trying for a center prespective, or folcal perspective. Part of that was because the kid needed to be altered to get rid of the grainyness of the original. the front flower need to be deblurred underneath the beee inorder to match the focal blur. Now as it is the flower is all blurred and the bee is not. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I think I might change that before pea gets back. Not sure if I should though. Any thoughts on if that is acceptable?
3P
3P, just ask Pea what he says. I have slightly changed my volley's before in my Nat battle, and as long as it doesn't affect the composition I don't see the issue.
