nope, i'll let someone else do it
Interesting DaVulf. I like the eyes, and what youve done with them, alot. But i guess i dont understand why you made the mouth so small. Also the jagged edges on the maroon font kinda clash with the warm glow of the image imo. Very cool though, makes me keep looking at it. I'll be interested to see what others have to say.
she looks like she wants to eat my soul...i love it!
Thanks for the comments NJP. I'm glad you like the eyes. I made the mouth a little smaller just to further deviate from the original little girl. I think it really makes her more interesting with distorted features. I think that is what gives the image that 'want to keep looking' feel. It is just so different from what we see every day, yet the similarities are there. You're right about the anti-aliasing on the font, or rather, lack thereof. I completely forgot to change the AA from 'none' to 'smooth' for that one. Clerical mistake, but noticeable nonetheless. Thanks for the critique.
Rhyeen, I'm glad you like the image. I hear what you're saying about the girl. There was just something about this image that I really liked as well. You should have seen it with a soft light overlay instead of the lighten. Slightly darker, but even more fiendish.
Thanks again for the comments and critiques guys, this is what we need to have in the arena in order to make it once again a place of learning.
Rhyeen- I think you could have pulled the shadows a little darker in some of the stripes to give them a little more unity, but overall I think you have a solid composition. Love the smoky, fiery feel.
DaVulf- I love the tension between the girl's unsettling features and the overall softness of the image. I can't look away. I think the blue eyes were a nice balance for the bold stripes.
I'll take brown.

Sorry for the double post, I wasn't thinking. NO DELETE OPTION!! ><
Comments for everyone.. Hope I don't offend or come across as the all knowing, just giving my opinion
Lefteye - Good choice of textures and images. The symmetry in the middle is cool but it's let down a bit with the contrast between the left and right hand side imo. I like the bird .. I bet alot of people missed that ;)
Adobemedia - I love the choice of colours, really bright and stimulating. Your image has great "wow" factor with the first impression, and it's only let down after my eye settles and starts to see some rushed bits to do with the stripes .. they look a bit "on top" of the apples instead of part of them, and some have lost a bit of quality during resizing. Maybe "overlay" would have been a blending avenue. Maybe something happening in the background (sky) would have been a treat once the eye has absorbed the focus of the image.
rhyeen - I really wished I saw this volley as a response to "white" because I bet it would have been more powerful. In my opinion the orange kind of lets it down, it would have rocked all white! And the tigers eyes would have totally stood out. I like the concept and the feel (and I also like tigers :P). The composition is cool, and the text looks fantastic though I'm not sure it was right for the image. If the orange wasn't in the side I would have really dug it but besides that it's great :)
Davulf - LOVE the eyes, they have so much depth, they're flawless. I tend to agree about the mouth too, I would have liked to have seen it stay at the "real" size. It kind of reminds me of playing with Kai's Power Goo when I was a kid. It also detracts the focus from those great eyes. I think this could have been an image where simplicity = powerful. The stripes are great too, really bold.
zacaboo288 - That text is put on the wall so well! The perspective and blending is perfect. The texture over the top does a good job of reinforcing the realism of the text. Maybe a border or something would finish it off, because it looks so real it kind of comes off as a scan of an old photo, without any "photoshoppy" feel. That said, that's a pretty hard thing to do so well done!
Wow - that's alot of action in 24 hours! Who said The Arena was dead :yarr:
edit: I've kind of "finished off" my volley on page 5, when I uploaded it last night I wasn't really happy with it but I was too tired to continue.
Here we go:

EDIT: I changed the image a bit.
This is an awesome battle idea. If it continues past June 13, count me in. No more battles till finals/school is over. Some of these are looking pretty damn sweet.
I have to agree with the sweet part. :)Quote:

The Arena is dead right now. :(
It's mother's day, man.
Because so many people requested it, here is the alternative version with the original mouth. I still don't think it is better.
NOT A VOLLEY!!!

Adobe: Nice concept and execution, much better than your last one. What is the next colour though?
Well, since I'm pretty sure Adobe said 'Red' before he re-edited, I went with that.

Comments and Crits always welcome.
Much better...the mouth really makes the image better man.Quote:

I liked the alien mouth way better. Damn you conservatives. :[
um ok?
I just thought it drew away from the piece, brought too much attention to it. I thought more "Why is the mouth small" than "the rest of this piece is awesome".
