Dude, nightwish... that last return is sick!

Very, very nicely done!

**nightwish** · 04-05-2009, 10:30 PM

Thanks! I thought it was a wee bit too twisted he he, but it turned out kinda nice.

So, whos next?

**groupof1** · 04-07-2009, 09:55 AM

Good to see people keeping this thread fresh. Nightwish, I am really digging your pics, great work.

I like your volley a lot... sick! The only thing is this one in my opinion may need a little text. I'm not particularly a fan of applying to images text all the time but for some reason this one seems to need it.

My Two cents!!!

Dope volley non-the-less

**1stbite** · 04-13-2009, 09:31 AM

Been a loooong time since I've followed a volley from kaco... ;-)

Introduction to pain:

Nice work 1stbite, a bit dark for my tastes in some areas, but that's probably just me.

**1stbite** · 04-13-2009, 11:52 AM

Yeah bit of a gamble on the darkness.. not my usual cup of tea but seemed to work at the time :-D

everyone has their monitors set to different brightnesses so hard to calculate what is too dark, but I wanted it as dark as I could get away with to give it that hint of light in a dark room feel. :-)

**Adobemedia** · 04-13-2009, 12:21 PM

Yep, I know what you mean.

My volley:

EDIT: I made the black frame a pixel bigger, I like it better that way.

First manip I've done in a long time, so I'm probably very rusty.

**1stbite** · 04-13-2009, 01:22 PM

Damn that was a fast turnaround... :-D

liking the light beams, use of element from my volley. Very surreal feel..

;-)

**Adobemedia** · 04-13-2009, 01:27 PM

First one in a long time, so I guess I rushed it a bit.

I'm known for my fast turnarounds.

Actually, it went through at least five phases, the first involving pain and blood, the second involving a beach, the third and fourth involving Mayan temples, and finally the last one, where at the last second I cut the temples, and made a few tweaks on the rest.

**nepzap2** · 04-22-2009, 02:37 PM

your image is impeccable... the only thing I would work on is the type treatment. That is something that is also hard for me.

Peace!

**sandyrivers** · 04-22-2009, 03:54 PM

Damn, that is a sweet volley too, nepzap!

Way to represent guys!

**Adobemedia** · 04-22-2009, 06:15 PM

Thanks nepzap! I agree, after I had my hard drive crash, I lost my valuable library of fonts. I need to build that back up.

I really like your image, but for some reason, that purple glow around "take hold" seems... distracting to me. I *think* it is because the rest of the image is sorta grainy, and the glow around the type seems much cleaner and smoother.

**nepzap2** · 04-22-2009, 10:26 PM

maybe one of the heavy weights like gerbick, ctranter, fearless, ondraedan, flashl!ght and creativeinsomnia can help some brothers out?

**Adobemedia** · 04-23-2009, 07:30 AM

The text is much better, I like that image more without any type at all.

**groupof1** · 05-01-2009, 09:37 AM

Nepzap, I am really diggin your pic there. I like the grainy feel of it. My only nitpick is that I would give more glow/light to his face, as if there were a soft light making it's way under the brim of his hat from the tree. But really it is a great image.

**Adobemedia** · 05-01-2009, 05:57 PM

I'll be next, working on it now.

And nevermind.

I just discovered something I need to work on.

**groupof1** · 05-05-2009, 11:13 AM

I've got some free space today. I will put something up.

**groupof1** · 05-06-2009, 11:34 AM

Not my greatest work, but Nep's image was a tough one to follow.
