    nepzap2 vs. creativeinsomnia :: All Stitched Up

    I want to try something new. I'm going to try and keep it simple with the textures, I feel like I have been overusing them. But what I really wan to assentuate on is the Type.


    As many rounds as we can muster!
    Rules are simple.
    width 700px
    height 500px
    element from previous volley required
    and everything else you want to do to the image is allowed.

    Is this going to be a battle focusing on type or is that just what you want to work with?

    It's on.

    Nah Dri, like creative said, it's just a battle but I personally am going to try and focus on type. That serve gerbick dropped on jwin left me inspired and in awe. That man is sick! I don't know how he does it, but I'd sure love to become that good.

    I'll take you on Creative. It's a pleasure to do battle with you. I'll serve some time today.

    One favor Dri, can you change the title to something funky and cool?
    Thanks.

    Hey dri..

    Your avatar really caught me off guard there. My friend and I were a little younger in camp and this person came over and drew a picture of me and my buddy playing guitar. That picture looks almost identical to the picture that this guy drew from what I remember. My friend took the drawing with him a long time ago and I haven't seen it since. Do you have the full picture of that avatar you could send. That guy in your avatar looks exactly like the picture he drew of me. I'd really like to see it. Thanks
    The feeling you can't get anywhere else is onstage ROCK-4-EVER!

    O.K. Creativeinsomnia

    This is what I could come up with. Really, on the reals I could not think of anything, I tried experimenting with something new. But hopefully after you serve I'll draw some quick inspiration.

    Cool nepzap. A few things, i'd lay off the diagonal lines a bit, they're a tad on the heavy side...put the opacity down a few notches. Another thing is that I'm really not seeing any cohesiveness with the elements in the image. The play off the text is cool, but i dont really understand the guy with his eyes/mouth sewn shut. You did a good job on that by the way. I'll try and get something up tonight.

    I agree with the both of you. I had no idea where I was going with this. And yes Natsia now that I see it it would've been a nicer image without that dude, he's not saying anything anyways. Thanks for the critiques... And creative, don't worry I got cha. Ha Ha. Can't wait for the return.

    great text use!!! That really pulls the whole thing togther...however, i'd be cool to see text with just a black background...i think it would still look amazing.

    Only 2 things...The bug/vine you have a the bottom is too illustrated compared to the guys face. I don't know if it's caus e the blues are different between the two colors or if the guy face should looked more drawn; or bug/vine to be more real looking.

    Very cool.

    That is one tight serve. Dude at a glance without really looking at it it reminded me of something from A Nightmare Before Christmas. The use of type is superb there bud. Great job. I'll volley soon.

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah i was really happy with the text but i just couldnt pull the whole image together...i actually finished the head/text part first, and then spent forever trying to add to it...so i eventually just slapped some stuff in there in a rush, but it turned out acceptable, not my best but i'll live to fight another round.

    Looking forward to your volley nepzap.

    Great volley Creative. I really like the text/vine, but I think the head could have blended better. All around though, it really does give that Tim Burton feel. Keep 'er up.
