mrkvavle vs. Natsia :: The Big Easy

[mrkvavle]

I haven't battled for quite some time now and am looking for some ps action.

RULES:
600x300
Rotation Allowed.
Must use element from previous volly.
No time limit, I'd prefer not to rush it but lets keep the volley's around a weeks time if at all possible.
# of returns = untill either of us runs out of breath.

I believe Natsia was thinking about a battle with me. So if she still wants to then I will battle her. If she can't or isnt intersted I'll take anyone interested in quality vs time.

Here is my serve:

If natsia doesn't take you up on this I'd love to!

[mrkvavle]

ok, great. If nats doesn't want to I'd love to battle you.

[littleMatt]

Good stuff

[Natsia]

Well... Looks like I've pretty much been booted from this one anyway. Jeesh...

[littleMatt]

Not at all! You can save me an ass-wh00pin if you want!

[mrkvavle]

C'mon Nats... you're up.

[Natsia]

Why thank you.
I'll get on something when I get home later.
Stunning serve btw Mrk.

[mrkvavle]

ok. ill be looking forward to it and thanks.

[EVPohovich]

Let's get it on!!

Title changed.

[FlashKid105]

mrkvavle,


That's an awesome photomanip, man. I love it

[Natsia]

Lol. Shot for the title E.

[mrkvavle]

Oh, and I would appreciate any serious critiques. :-p

[ondraedan]

I wasnt gonna say anything, because it really isn't a big deal the way i see it, but then you went and asked for crits so I might as well.

I really like the galaxy-ish overlay, it looks great.

However, I dont think it should be overlayed above the girl's body as well as the tunnel. the reason being that if no stars are behind her it makes sense that she would be looking at them, like maybe they're off in the distance, but if she's covered in them just the same as everything else in the photo, the stars lose their position in the scene and become just a pretty overlay. Do I make sense?

Anyway, just nitpicking, great work.

Looking forward to your volley, Natsia.

[mrkvavle]

Thanks i appreciating any nitpicking you can do. i agree that it looks out of place. what i was going for was that near the edges the tunnel was more transparent and that the stars that would have been behind her shining in the tunnel were shining through the transparent parti guess i just didnt do so well in the exectution of it, so thanks for pointing it out. Thanks for taking a look, your opinion means a lot.

[Natsia]

oiii... Hope I don’t disappoint O.
The return is still quite rough, should be up by around Sunday or so Mk, so that should give you plenty of time to choke down a few Easter eggs or choke someone else on Easter eggs...
*MENTAL PICTURE*
I just grossed myself out.

[Natsia]

Damnit.
Lost its depth.
I hate you .jpeg.

WOW Natsia, I love your last. Only comments I have is there is a strip of wierdness at the bottom of the image. I think her eye would look really nice if it was entirely green like the brightest part is now. If the white dots were made to look a bit more like stars or sparkles or maybe a color that would blend a bit better. Right now i'm not sure what the purpose of them is. One more the black line going from the star constilation over her temple, if that was blended back a bit I think it would help as well.

I love the composition, colors, the butterflies ( i've gotten into a butterfly phase myself, must be springtime), and the overall concept.

Great work guys...

[Natsia]

Thanks Pea.
I have to agree with most of everything.
Fixing her up took longer than the rest of the image and she lost a lot of that pop when I blended her down.
I was thinking of using the lights from MK's last volley for "jewelry" but yeah, didn't quite work
I didnt even notice that big nasty line until you pointed it out.
Thanks for the crit hun
