ondraedan vs. creativeinsomnia :: Nintendo Ninjas on the Rampage

Rule #1). 3-4 days return time.
Rule #2). No fixed size or theme, just make sure to use an aspect of the previous image in your volley.

Serve:

Not sure if it was intentional but there seems to be some wallpaper-like jazz going on in the clouds in the top left- I really dig it. I think your diagonal filter really helps to break the image up, especially the specific way that you've utilized it. The entire image has a very classic warlike feel happening and I think you've casted that ominous glow very richly. And your type is spot on mate. Not under or over cooked but extremely appropriate and delicately pronounced. Awesome work buddy.

So is this like an open battle for all members or what? I'd love to get down on it.

[ondraedan]

Thanks very much, Zac!
It's not an open battle, but an open challenge, for one unspecified opponent.
Anyone who feels that they've got some advanced photomanip skills is welcome to accept the challenge.

[Zacaboo288]

Well I've actually just recalled that I have an album cover/ cd label to work on for a friend so I'll be pretty tied up creatively, not to mention my photomanipulation skills are no where near advanced. Good luck with this battle sensei.

[creativeinsomnia]

Well done O. I like the diagonal stripe effect you got going on.

I'd like to get back into battling but your turnaround time will more than likely butt heads with all of the new video games i have recently purchased.

[EVPohovich]

Another nice drop O, you and I have gone many rounds before so I'll let someone else step in here.

And I too am really diggin' the sky...

Good luck.

[pea3698]

How many rounds and can my start time be tomorrow? I'm swamped today, but could take some time this weekend. lol Let me know and i'll let you know. If my skillz aren't up to snuff that is cool as well.

I think I'm O.K. with photoshop, don't know if my skills are up there with yours(I don't think they are), but if you are looking for clean drops with some nice texturing, I definitely can drop that. I'd like to do battle with you O, the turn around is perfect for me. Let me know if you'll have me.

Peace.

[pea3698]

I'll give this one up to nepzap2, after all it is his 1,000 th post.

[ondraedan]

Since CI was the first to talk about accepting I've PMed him and worked out a mutually acceptable turnaround, so it'll be him and I for this one. Thanks both nep and pea, I'll take rainchecks, maybe sooner than you think

EVP or fellow mods, a name change when you find the time, please?

[EVPohovich]

Done.

This battle is going to shake the entire Arena...

[zebrafire]

hey ninja head. I like the stripes...

[Dricciotti]

Sweet image O. Although the texture over the diagonals gets almost lost on my monitor

I think that the bottom of the girl stand out of the image a little bit and is brighter than the surrounding ground she is standing on.

[creativeinsomnia]

I'm a little rusty. Hopefully you can pull something from here to use.

[gerbick]

ok. I'm biased... but dammit, I like it.

Just a bit more shadow on the skulls in the background is my only nitpick.

[ondraedan]

very cool CI! i like the worn border...
to the death? is that right?

[creativeinsomnia]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Pericolo Di Morte is Italian for "danger of life".

[ondraedan]

I'm so cool and my girlfriend loves me.

[Dricciotti]

I'm so cool and my girlfriend loves me.

i think i love you too

[nepzap2]

Both of you guy’s work always rocks my socks.

I'm going to dig and pay attention to this battle. I'm not concerned really about the nitpicks as I am with blending, brushwork, and lighting (not to mention the superb font treatment) that you two dish out. Always consistently brilliant.

Great work!
