DUDE!!!!!!!!


I love the sun, man. How'd you do that?


I started an Open Photoshop Battle here not too long ago but I will gladly take you on for what it's worth.:)


I'm fine with the 800X450 image size but I usually like to do my photomanips and whatnot at a higher resolution.

Dude... very cool first serve/volley here at FK's Arena. Awesome type and very cool image.

Welcome to the bunch dude. I can't wait to see who takes up your challenge.

Oh, and welcome to the Arena mang. Glad you decided to join us.

Flashkid, how many battles do you have going on that you haven't finished? Vs. Gesteves, vs. Yusecki at DesignPhorum, and vs. Noprophet at Komprehend.

And no new images from you in over a week in all of the above. I'm not sure you should try to tackle another one since you have so many unfinished battles.

I've already taken up the challenge, Gerbs.

He has yet to accept you, Fkid.

And besides, read my above post. You have too many battles that are unfinished. I'd advise him, or anybody else, to not battle you until you can show that you can commit, and finish, a battle.

My opinion, look above for proof.

Gerbick those words from you are much appreciated. I've seen your work around here and I'm stunned 99% of the time.

FlashKid105: let's get it on if you think you can take on so many battles. thanks for the kind words as well.

The sun is just some clever filtering and about three textures. I was looking at a NASA image as I was doing it to try and make it look as realistic as possible.

Dude, have you forgotten already? I'm almost damn sure that gesteves couldn't finish the one battle against me so he totally understood when I said I couldn't finish the battle. I WILL keep up the battle at Kompton but I'm not too sure about the battle against Yusecki at DP. Seems like I mis-understood something.


But I will definitely keep the Kompton battle going.

agree with master gerbick, i do.
complete other battles consistantly, and move on you will.
give others a chance to battle hashc0de, you should.
this isn't the battle you're looking for...

:)

Hey, all I'm saying, Fkid, is that you delayed so long vs. Gesteves that he got busy again... he started that battle when he had time. You delayed for like 2 weeks on that one.

The one at Komprehend, you're 6 days late on a week turnaround... so 13 days later, no image.

And the one from Yusecki... you misunderstood the rules, and you seem to be trying to change these rules to suit your needs. Stick with the ones that hashc0de setup.

I'm not picking on you. So don't go down that route yet again... just saying that perhaps you need to listen to Norda *Nordberg+Yoda* when it's just a statement about how you should finish these battles before tackling even more.

Kinda unfair to the people involved to keep battling and dropping the battles.

Hash... thanks for the kind words mang. I seriously never thought anybody liked my stuff. I just do it to annoy the people in the Arena :p

Nords, scare me, you do. Or do not. Stop you must.

Well since I do want to battle and not let it go stagnant, I'll see if anyone else wants to take it up.

I'll take on a veteran if they don't blow me out of the water and into a manic depressive state. On second though... that might help my art.

Flashkid. let's wait a few hours to see if anyone else wants to take it up, since you do have a lot of battles to take on.

Hands nordberg his Pepsi without knowing why.

Master YODberg indeed

It's official. After a long and hard discussion with Gerbs via AIM, I will still be glad to take you on. If I don't make the deadline you set, Gerbs will step in.

Okay then. Let's do this. 36 hour turnaround.

Any modifications to the rules before we begin?

edit: Changed the title -- made all squeaky clean and official.
edit2: maybe not. Could someone *pokes gerbick* do it for me?

oh gerbs... gerbs gerbs gerbs... i have a brickwall you can talk to;)

Awesome first image.
I can't wait to see how your battle with the Flashkid/Gerbs tagteam turns out.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I don't know if Gerbs is actually teaming up with Flashkid. It's just a little insurance in case he flakes out.

begun, the cOde wars have...
looking forward to it, i am.

i'm with everyone else cOde, great serve! welcome to the arena. :)

Call it a prophecy if you will...

Prove me wrong Flashkid.
