If you want one of the vectors shout, I'll attach the ai file.
Bring it on. Is that all of the criteria? Are you serving?
edit: Upon further inspection, I'm assuming you did serve but the image isn't loading in my browser. I'll give it an hour and try again.
Gonna make a guess that this is the serve...

Harlow Solid Italic and Stencil Std. I gotta warn you though, I touched up that "B" in "Blast" a little bit.

Kept ur background image and the buildings.
Yeah, Not sure what I was thinking with this one.
Quite cool... wish you had toned down the "find edges" filter on the boot. It's a bit too pronounced (ok, maybe my eyes just went straight to it) but desaturated and placed on there via Soft Light and dropping the opacity to less than 55% would have acted more like a highlight/shadow enhancer and upped some shadows and reflections/highlights.
The mix of vector and raster is done quite well, no wasted space and a layout that makes sense.
All but the text. Looks like it was an afterthought where you decided to place it in it's resting spot at the last moment. Surprised you subdued that bottom part as much as you had - it deserved to pop out more.
Good image... from both of you.
Thanks G.
You're 100% spot on about the text & boots.
Had glowy things coming off of them and took those out at the last minute. Text was also just behind her leg and also didn't like it there at the last minute. Frivolity!
Nats, the only real crits I have follow in parallel to gerbick's. I'm not quite sure if I'm capturing the message in its entirety but I dig the NES/arcade reference. I would have liked to see a more controlled color palette and maybe bring out the bottom section a little more but overall I'd say you created a good flow and use of space.
Here's my return.

I'm running so frikken late with this return. Sorry man, work stuffs.
I KNOW this image is ****, Im NOT proud of it. Sorry about this.
That's cool nats, I'll run with it.
Good man!
Sorry Nats I kind of fell through on this one too. Hope you can work with it. Unless you want to call it a game.

lol! No worries, let me see what I can do with it. It's my fault for giving you a ****ty previous volley :P
Right, last round!
Personally I like the way the colours worked on this.

Thanks for playing with me!
Woof! That is my favorite drop from you by a long shot! Absolutely stunning composition, nats. I agree with you that the colors work very well. If you don't mind, I would love to know how you created that gorgeous smoke effect and blended it so well.
Maybe if you have time, you could make a 4:3 wallpaper version of this for me? :D
LOL! Thanks very much, man. :)
Yeah sure. I'll take my psd apart and post a little tutorial by later today.

Well that was quite to the point. Thanks a bunch for the tut as well as the wallpaper, Natsia. :)
Holy crap this was 2009, still gonna give a shout out. Love the last image Natsia, totally unique to the Arena- more a piece of art than a volley. It's now proudly displayed on my desktop.
