The Gods At War Thunderdome(IT HAS BEGUN!!)

[ikuru]

thanks sve, yeah, I know PS pretty good, hoever I do think there is a way to apply certain filters to a huge amount of layers simultaniously without flattening etc. Never mind though, Im nacked for today, time for something to eat and maybe a nightly movie or sumetin, keep the good work flowing.

/D

[arttorney]

Where the heck is Bacchus? It's Miller time.:donk:

[mull77]

OK, mines in.

Warriors come out and plaaaayay!

[AmishCommy]

ok so i'm gonna start in the next hour, i swear!!!

[arttorney]

High energy protons spilling over into our atmosphere!!!!!!:gasmask:

[evildisco]

Do we need to send a file to J or just a link?

[arttorney]

In what was the old challenge arena is the submissions thread (see also the link in JL's post about 13 posts ago). When you get to this place, you are golden. It has Attachment Manager and everything!!!

[JL.Alfaro]

Post it at the submission thread (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1209008#post1209008), but make sure its from a link-so we can grab it from there.

Mine is up, wasnt too happy with the final but its up now. Good luck Vorbiss!!

Ikuru- right above the top layer you want to change, add an adjustment layer set to levels, that outta do it. If not then just copy the layers you want to modify, then merge the copies together and apply the changes to that layer.

I know PS pretty good, hoever I do think there is a way to apply certain filters to a huge amount of layers simultaniously without flattening etc.

Well filters themselves can't be applied to many layers simultaneously without flattening, but there's the "create adjustment layer" button next to the "create new layer" button, in (of course) the Layers window (you know, those little icons at the bottom), which affect the whole image unless you assign them to specific layers. This may be what you're talking about.

Hope it helps.

[arttorney]

Don't fear! The entries rock!!!! Postem!!!!

This may be what you're talking about.

Hope it helps.another technique to apply a filter or adjustment to a series of layers is to use the "Copy Merged" option (PS CS2). this does not flatten the file, but creates in the Clipboard an image that merges all visible layers. Paste this into a new layer on top of everything else and apply your filter/adjustment. you can then mask this layer if you need to uncover anything from the layers underneath, as if the adjustment/filter was selective by area.

I find Copy Merged incredibly useful.

[JL.Alfaro]

masque-That is news to me, Ive never used that option cause I never tried to see what it does- thanks man-freakn genius! (a little ashamed to admit that-been using PS for a while)

Arttorney- yeah theyre awesome so far but remember they have until tommorrow to post, patience bud

[chaosrocks]

hmm lets seee! oil painting > take picture> color correct> post

layers ??? what's a layer?

chaos

[arttorney]

I find patience and trash talking don't mix. j/k Thats right people! I'm here to give you a little performance anxiety. You get to see mine early. I get to talk smack until you post. AAAaaahhh! (and stuff)

[masque]

yeah, JLA, i kinda stumbled on it. it wasn't in all versions, btw, pretty recent, i think. since i make layers for nearly every paint stroke (heh-heh), i use it anytime waxy layer buildup threatens to drag my PC into the 12th circle of Limbo (reserved for PCs strained beyond their capacity by foolish artists bent on taking over the Universe with each and every digital painting).

[masque]

layers ??? what's a layer?think of it as a photonic glaze, m'dear.

[chaosrocks]

i see
but you can change them
.... hhmm
never mind lm off to a
poker game see you all

[Wasker]

chaosrocks: dont lose too much :p


Someone please fill me in how the rounds work, 1 new artwork for every round or the same work vs some1 else's? :rendered:

[arttorney]

"Same work" is the default setting. Win the first round, or forget about the second. If you win round 1 and have more energy than I do, then apparently edits or a second image are OK. Edit: I see you on here, Ikuru. Get some sleep. You'll need it.

[ikuru]

hej wasker, the same artwork, but you get to change it/improve it. Or, you can make a new one.

JLAlfaro

thanks a allot! I'll try that tomorow, im sure thats it, ive seen it in some movie tut and it sounds about right. thanx again you guys!
while Im at it, does anyone know if you can change the plastic "carpet" on the a4 wacom, i sort of managed to scratch it from too much painting.


arttorney
Im getting to it, been painting till my arm and back started killing me.

hey! thread looks real nice so far!
incase anyone missed it, Do not use the attachment function, but make a Link to your artwork, aright.
see you all tommorow.
the end

[Leari_79790]

and then theres the judges schedule- as you guys might have noticed, they are very busy people whom have probably scheduled time off to judge this event.
-JL>:D

What judging panel are you thinking of? we're all back here eating pop tarts lounging round playing DooM 3, but you might be right, working on the unemployment benefit is a taxing lifestyle..

[JL.Alfaro]

haha!

pop tarts, Doom3 hu... Im more of a hot chilli beans, beer, and Call of Duty guy myself..

[arttorney]

haha!

pop tarts, Doom3 hu... Im more of a hot chilli beans, beer, and Call of Duty guy myself..
Damn straight! Roll em up in a flour tortilla with a couple of squirts of Louisiana hot sauce and it doesn't even matter what kind of beer you got.

[evildisco]

Done and posted.

[arttorney]

Now's your time to talk smack at Trevor. Irish goddess represent!>:D

[evildisco]

Nah, I don't care.

[arttorney]

Woah! I'm Irish and I'm drunk (redundancy I know). You done pissed me off, not that there's anything I can do about it at this point. (edit: while fully drunk, only half Irish and half scottish, and not really pissed off, just fooling around. Luck too all.)

[Snarfevs]

Finally done. Err I think I completely forgot about lunch.

Chaos: as for the mongooses, I tend to think that they'd flip out over anything that slithers. Much like the badgers...

[trevor]

Good luck to you too mate! :hatsoff:

P.S. ....great pics so far!:$

[ikuru]

Im glad to see some really, really decent art in there so far! Im glad you all made such a effort! will post later on tonight.

[mull77]

Yeh second that. Good work all, loving what's up so far.

[Wasker]

Really nice images people,
I dig your entry Trevor!

I am profoundly impressed by what is turning up in the submissions thread.

for better or worse, mine's posted.

extreme special thanks to the lovely and perspicacious eyes of our resident treasure, Sve, who in the 11th hour helped me save this pic from my own short-sightedness. :dad: <3

hey Ilaekae, fellow former "commie-pinko-(word i can't put in a post on this forum because of the mindless Big Brotherish and PC-up-the-arse censorbot!)"* and raconteur extraordinaire, lemme now shake yer paw, hand, pseudopod, whatever, and say (all masques off) that regardless of outcome, this TD has been a helluva jive-talkin', smack-tradin', fur-flyin', cojones-kickin' good time, and may either old fart win, 'cause we're both the best!

*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_epithets and scroll to the "C" section

PS: i'd love it if you'd scoot on by the Finally Finished section and check out my "second-string" entry (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89643)

regardless of the outcome. Im through with her. I think Ill go paint Pink ponies for a while. Interesting enttries so far not reall looking till we can see them side by side.

[bdfoster]

I'm going to have to bow to my (rather silent) opponent Sone One, and all the competitors in this competition. Unfortunately had other things that had to take priority over finishing up this competition, so I'm going to be the hated "No Replacement Puss Out". The smell of competition definitely pushed me to do some fun stuff with this piece, but it's not even remotely presentable at this point. I'm sure I'll finish it up for the portfolio in the coming weeks and it'll find it's way to the finally finished.

Great entries so far, everyone.

[viag]

too much work for me at the moment
im out

have fun !

[ikuru]

Let's see, maybe Ving will step in and replace one of the pusserz. Iv'e seen him lurking around here in the shadows.

[masque]

i got two pieces i like outta this gymkana, and if the powers-that-be would be willing to let the off-brief "second-string" entry (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89643) get in the mix, i'd be willing to match it to an orphaned 'Domer.

[JL.Alfaro]

Im glad you turned the on you did in masque, that is freakin awesome...cant wait to see what the senile cat throws in.

sve- love yours, the skull flowers are giving it so much character- btw I've been busy lately so I didnt get a chance to get your most useful crits- you can always send me a pm now that its posted, and maybe I can fix some of it before the deadline tonight.

-JL

[kboss]

Mine is posted!
Great work so far everyone. Trevor especially. Very cool piece mate.

[MyOrangeHat]

Holy shitballs! I just check the submission thread and I'm gobsmacked. That's some amazing stuff. I'm intimidated but I will not puss out. I may not put in the best showing, but I'm gonna show up. So quake in fear my opponent(whoever you are)!

[GreenTopaz]

just posted mine, though I was a bit disappointed with it in the end...ah well. it was my first time doing a war scene D:

Everyone else's entries are lovely though :) cheers!

[evildisco]

Nice one trev.

Nice one Topaz.

[Idiot Apathy]

Man, I really pity the judges - tough calls.

Eeep!

[Rich Pellegrino]

These TD's are so good at pushing us. I agree that everyone is leveling up with their entries here. Great job everybody.

Troy, man you nailed it on Morrigan. It is the perfect way to show a God at war. Props dude. That orc that is lit by the fire is sick!

[v0rbiss]

Posted mine, can't wait to see the remaining entryes, there's some amazing work till now. :)
Thank you JLA, my nemesis for organizing this great event! :cheerleader:
It was hell of a lot fun to work on that piece of crap! :confident

[Joeslucher]

I got back home today so I'll be able to finish my pic. Thanks for covering for me JL. I'll make a post in the submission thread with the revised pic and info.

Chuck,mate- You've got to post yours. I'm sure an 80% completed chuckmate pic can compete with my entry.

[ikuru]

My piece is so strong right now it sickens me.

[Anid Maro]

Wow, excellent entries so far. Makes me somewhat embarassed to post mine, ha! :)

V0rbiss - That new version looks pimp! The old crotch stab kinda made me snigger, this new one makes me wince. Friggin' brutal.

JLAlfaro - I figured I'd give your tiny monitor an easy break with my entry, only 516x790 thanks to Photobucket. Bah!

[mull77]

Hmmm, not heard a peep from my boy.

I find his silence unerving.

Some of the latest ones are the balls BTW.

[mellowsmoothe]

i want to enter the challenge but i dont know who to choose because i havent been on in a while...can someone match me up?

[sve]

Thread with images is so aggressive, OMG, in every page someone tears another one apart. OMG, OMG, OMG... But it is sure very impressive. Thanks to all who submitted their visions!
Thanks, Chip, it was my pleasure and it is nothing, please, don't mention it. you better share with me your hippies stories...
JLAlfaro, thank you, very sweet of you to say this and you got what you asked for, hope I didn't confuse you more... Ignore it if you don't agree.

You seriously need to learn to shut up.

Until proven wrong, your work is not submitted and you are painfully late too.

If you ever make it to the next round and if I am still around I'll silence you into submission.

[Mr.Blonde]

lots of great entries here. looking forward to seein the rest

[mull77]

Great work man, but who are the Gods?

[ikuru]

You seriously need to learn to shut up.

Until proven wrong, your work is not submitted and you are painfully late too.

If you ever make it to the next round and if I am still around I'll silence you into submission.

Ooooh! getting on your nerves am I?
Why dont you learn to to mind your own buisness instead dude?

Let me explain something... Late is after the deadline.
I started my painting like yesterday.
Only a fool would post Before the deadline with that short amount of time on their hands.

Now, IF you make it to the final round. It will be my pleassure taking you to school.

[evildisco]

You're going to go very far. It's either me or Trevor who will rip you to pieces, smartass.

[ikuru]

You're going to go very far. It's either me or Trevor who will rip you to pieces, smartass.

Oh, yeah? What is he, like your Dad or sumetin?
It's ON baby, go right ahead and Bring it!

[mull77]

You have to admire the boys spirit.

ikuru vs the world

[masque]

ikuru, you and your ego were a minor irritation in the Self-Taught v. Schooled artists TD, where, i recall, you had your ass handed to you. now you're starting to become a major irritation. please tone down the as-yet-to-be-proven-to-be-worth-a-damn self-promotion, 'cause nobody's buyin' it. thank you.

[Anid Maro]

Hahaha!


Rules:
Any medium (other than photography) is allowed, one entry per person, posting in the CC is allowed but why would you ruin the surprise. TRASH TALKING IS MANDATORY.

See? It's in the rules! How can you guys get angry at Ikuru?

I say let him talk all the smack he wants and then hand him a nice pint of STFU after he submits. You know, when we can rip him about his shitty rush job. :)

[voraz]

I'm out, I have done lots of sketches but never got to start a final piece...

sorry everyone, and especially Ligth...
(miauu....)


By the way, very nice work already posted.

good luck peeps.

[ikuru]

Hey dudes! Hold your horses! Whats with mob?, it's not like my Intention to piss everyone/anyone off!
TRue, I'm a noob and I Lost the last TD.
So what? I might loose this one too.
Doesnt really matter now does it? The point is Im developing (like too fast and shit).
But, I thought it was OK to do the smacka talk, no?
It's not like I think I could take TREVOR to school, But If I can smack him and make him wanne take me on, Im pretty happy with that deal.
May be you guys fail to see my sense of humor in it.
I'm not retarded.
Anyhow, fuck it!
From now On I'll be quiet as the Moose and let Paint do the talking.
C U all at the next level.

ikuru is just lookin' up to the master and followin' suit.

Hey, Thanx for getting it and beeing a good pal dude. ;)

[trevor]

its all good ikuru
i enjoy your ambitious nature
we are waiting to see if you can back it up hahahahah

[evildisco]

Oh you softie.. <3

[ikuru]

Oh you softie.. <3
I remmember a certain YOU, beeing a crybaby in your sketch thread about someone not voting a Five for you, now How cool is that?

By the time you all se my paint (soon) your eyes is gonne suffer, yeah your fucking right, in the good way that is.

Thanx Trev (comming right 4 ya).

Thnx J.L. ALFARO, for letting me in... Next time i will be better prepared!!!

[masque]

gotta admit ikuru has a pair and is keepin' the trash talk lively. yeah, yer prolly right, Red, i mean who the fuck am i to judge, i'm only a coupla decades farther down the road than mosta you punks, got more experience in my left earlobe than most of you have in your entire frontal lobes, just an ol' greybeard, no one lissens **sniff**... here i am, a brain the size of a planet...

[arttorney]

I predict a traffic jam. The number of initial entrants minus the number of confirmed pussouts minus the number of already posted works still exceeds 35. Even if they spread it out a bit that's still about 7 an hour showing up from here on out.

Great competition all. I like your piece The Artist Fox. Best of luck.

P.S. since we're naming names here, Snarfevs ... your piece is incredible IMHO.

[ikuru]

If you had read the whole thing you would know why I was bitching. So really this time fuck you and go finish painting.
Yeah whatever, FU* U 2.

[Rich Pellegrino]

I'm excited to see what you got Arkady! I can only imagine what sort ass kicking piece you got in store for me. I hear ya on finishing. I wish I hadn't started over two days ago. I could've shot reference for Morrigan and slept. :(

Beautiful entry, ikuru, I think you proved your word is solid, at least in my eyes. I love your entry. Painted with a lot of heart.

Olga, I love yours. It is exciting and strict and refined. Three figures create a slow dizzy circle like motion despite that all three figures are static. That's very unusual and beautiful effect.

I decided to go with slower but more powerful moves :)
Those ladies never rush anyway

I love your little girl too! I wouldn't want to be a cause of her troubles ;)

Thumbs up Rich too, I gave you some more feedback you know where.

Ilaekae! Ilaekae! O Brother, where art thou?

where artest thou?

crap. "i only speak two languages..." (and you guys/gals should know the rest)

[strych9ine]

Thanks guys, but I really feel like I cheaped out on this one... I had to poop that out today due to a combo procrastination and design work. Eriboss, thanks for the ownination, the portrait of Mot is absolutely badass!

Trevor, goddamn gorgeous triptych. The battle scene is so beautifully saturated it left a little unpleasant saturation in my boxer shorts.

Troy, I don't think I've seen more pleasant shading on breasts before. The pose is great, the scene is mayhem... love it dude.

Bumskee, holy fuck! That's just about what I said when I saw it, inspiring shit man.

Jake, your piece came along great man. I loved that kid's melon so much I decided to draw a big-meloned child of my own.

GreenTopaz, you're awesome. Djohnston, understated and kickass composition. One of my faves.

Rick, voodoo hoodoo what you don't dare do, Morrigan is awesome... bitchin' pose and I love the crows coming out of her hair.

Sve, you had me at skull flowers. I feel like I've been upstaged with you drawing a cuter kid and all. Love the expression, did you use your kid as the reference?

Great dome!

[MyOrangeHat]

Just got a partial posted over in the submission. I'm putting color and background on it now but didn't want to miss the deadline so I figured a partially finished(and badly photographed) place holder was better than missing submitting all together because I got into painting and lost track of time. I know mine isn't quite up to par for this competition but already it's pushed me further than I've ever gone. Okay off for a marathon painting session!

It doesn't look like my opponent has shown up yet. He/she better not puss out! I want to at least go against someone!

[Felicia]

I posted mine. Sorry it is a scroll down and really big.
Some great entries so far!!!

[City]

Felicia, your piece is wonderful!
Great development of characters and strong composition ...

... makes me think that I should have spent more than just a couple of hours on this assignment... !

[sve]

Felcia, Oh. My. God. No words can describe my astonishment. Beautiful and great idea! You are a very unusual artist, original and full of wonderful ideas and very dedicated too. This lighting going from a top to the bottom and mess of bodies and chaos! Striking! Congratulations again, yours is the best in my opinion, and not just because it is so long. It is gorgeous. This is what happens when artist is on fire.

[JL.Alfaro]

Made the last changes to mine, (thanks sve for the crits) Im happy with the results now.

There are still a lot of entries missing here, so hopefully they will be in by morning.
we shall see, great entries by everyone so far-some amazing stuff as I presumed, but I'll save the comments and crits for after everyone turns theirs in.

[masque]

oh, yeah, Felicia!
oh, yeah!



oh, yeah!

well done!

Status: Mine will be a rough colored vector-only by morning and posted unfinished. I have to leave for a court hearing at 9:00 am. If that's too late, so be it. Masque, as far as I'm concerned, we're still on against each other, whether I'm officially in the judging or not. We'll just do it as a separate comp in the challenge section. I'll only need 2 days or so to finish the detail work and painting in PS.

You're...going...down...Bubba... :wink:



...even though I think we only have roughly 17 still-operating brain cells between us, we still kick everybody else's ass here three ways from sunday...

[Bloodstone]

Is everything posted past the deadline disqualified? I'd hate to think I had until tomorrow to work on this.

[masque]

Is everything posted past the deadline disqualified? I'd hate to think I had until tomorrow to work on this.i guess that's ultimately up to JLA, but after the shitstorm over extensions, i'd say it better be "Yes!" to your question.

Ilaekae: doubled, redoubled, and i raise you a plug nickel to boot. shall we say, Wednesday, dawn? pistoleros or cutlasses? i suck at both but will still relieve you of your vastly inflated sense of self-aggrandizement.

and that, kiddies, is how gentlemen talk smack!

y'think they bought it, Illy? the "gentlemen" thing, y'know. man, these young pups are just so easy to scam, hee, hee hee!

[Ilaekae]

Change in plans. I just don't have enough time to convert the thing to PS (there's over forty layers to transfer) and post it before i leave. It's long past deadline and I'm officially not in competition, so Masque gets a bye...your's is a decent piece, so you're not getting a gift. (...but mine's better... heeheeheeheehee...) VECTOR RULZ!

Wednesday evenng in the Challenge Section, Masque. You and me. The diaper set can watch if you think they can get somebody to read this to 'em...

[trevor]

so flattening an image is too hard for you?
i understand the Illustrator to PS problem but damn man
you hae pussed out in a way i cannot describe...uber puss?
i dunno not strong enough

[Ilaekae]

Fuck you, Beach Boy...

The day you grow a brain capable of executing an illustration in AI with between 40 and 120 layers, then transfer them in perfect registration individually to PS so they can be modified individually and have it come out right is the day this semi-retarded primate facsimile quits drawing for good.

How about you gimme a month or so to get some personal stuff out of the way, then we stage a one-on-one so I can kick your ass in public.



:confident ...you ain't too skitty to have an old man yank your diaper over your ears, are you? Heeheehee...

[ikuru]

Hahaha! ...when we can rip him about his shitty rush job. :)

You gonne rip my shitty rush job huh?


A: take your entry + mine
B: put your entry next to mine
C: do the math

[Wasker]

Quite alot that haven't submitted anything. :8

[Briareos]

i guess that's ultimately up to JLA, but after the shitstorm over extensions, i'd say it better be "Yes!" to your question.


Theres no question, nothing submitted after the deadline should be allowed. If they are, then I'm pulling mine.

[chaosrocks]

don't be petty.... Its probably is a moot point. But your piece is to good to pull on a technicality.
Ilae my love.... w are they attempting to haul you off to jail again? jeezou think they'd leave a respectable gentlleman such as yourself alone after all these years. I demand to seeyour picture when its done k? thx

Felicias has my wrapt attention atm... there are others
chaos

[arttorney]

About 1 in 3 starters didn't post for whichever reason. The grab bag of people who are currently without match up contains some intimidating entries. The anxiety goes on for those people (they are about 1 in 6, since 1 in 6 of the nonfinishers were from the "known puss out" category). Will JL reassign matchups?

(the enemy you know, versus the enemy you dont.)

Yeah. I got up about 1 AM California time and got a load of Felicia's entry. Beautiful, (in a bony sort of way)!

I see you on here Entdroid. I liked the way The Lady's gown drapes at her right shoulder.

[Ostrander]

Really awesome entries guys and gals. I thought everyone did a fine job. (and made things difficult for the judges as well!) I'll be rootin' for ya as you move on to the second round sve, beautiful job!! :)

Again, great job folks!

[masque]

Theres no question, nothing submitted after the deadline should be allowed. If they are, then I'm pulling mine.i agree w/roxie, grin & bear it if it doesn't go your way, but in the interest of accuracy, rustikof's was the last legit entry by the book, in under the wire with all of four minutes to spare.

@Ilaekae:


What! You weesh to fight zee dewell in ze evening? Merde, no, zees cannot be! Zee evening, eet ees for... pleasure... a loaf of bread, a carafe of fine Bordeaux, a gathering of mes amis, le femmes CA, oo la laa, eh, ees eet not zoh?

Bah, I geev you repreev! Sursday, dawn, zee proper hour for zee duel! Now go, leetle wrinkled one, go play wiz your...vectorz, your Beziers, your **snap** anchor points. Eet weel do you... NO good.

[arttorney]

Aye! Life on the edge, eh Rustikof!:404:

[Lewis]

Absolutely amazing entries guys :D

Big props to JLalfaro for organising this, props to trevor for keeping up the trashtalking, Felicia for my favourite piece, Ikuru for being a worthy opponent and props to everyone who showed up!!!

Oh and props for me because i fucking own

~ Lewis

[Rich Pellegrino]

Arkady: Dude! The painting is hot. I was shaking in my boots for the last month and a half wondering what you were bringing to the table.

Grumble: haha! I love this painting man. I couldn't believe how big the original drawing was. I can brag that I sat next to you while you painting in the school labs! Lucky me!

EvilDisco: Thanks brotha. Saw the crits, and I like em'.

Cody: That image had me at hello. Great idea and execution. Hilarious as well. You dirty Sanchez you.

Felicia: Great piece. As I was scrolling down at 2am, I kept yelling holy shit! repeatedly.

Trevor: Sweet triptych man. Obviously its looks as if a god himself painted it. heh heh.

[amer-nazri]

I'm almost done dammiitttt!!!!!! Gimme a couple'a hours!!!!

[strych9ine]

Is everything posted past the deadline disqualified? I'd hate to think I had until tomorrow to work on this.

No kidding, considering the mad rush I made to get it in on time.

[arttorney]

It doesn't look too promising amer-nazri.

[redehlert]

MASQUE!! you, my li'l frand, are hysterical. you have the merovignian down.
cheers!

[ikuru]

I busted my arm and back and my sleeping system finnishing this on time, hate to think the deadline was just there for some of us.

The entrys that are late could stay just for show (since they look nice) but should not be allowed to compete, allso the people without partners I think JLAfaro allready said he is going to match them up agains eachother and if one is left he will join in a gangbang.

Nerdlinger! You should post more! Your posts are fresh and a nice relief in a tough enviroment.

Lewis thanx to you too for showing up on the battle field. it's good going to war, no? than having a beer and a smoke later in the pub like in the good ol days.

[rustikof]

Thats how life is in the THUNDERDOME

ON THE EDDGGEEEEEEEEE

(wicked guitar solo)

>>bumskee---hot.

[redehlert]

here's a full list that i thoroughly enjoyed:

rustikof - great kinetic energy and expressions in this one. glad to know ya and yer skills, fellow PNWer.

briareos - she's peaceful and hawt with armageddon comin' down. way to bring it.

mr. grumble - only you would find gods of facial hair and pit them against one another. for that, you rawk. nice execution as well.

bloodstone - great pose, nice inclusion of symbology, i dig the colors and the cloud swirl rules. nicely played.

cody - my graphic designer frand of the city windy, i really dig this piece. nufff said.

voodoochile - nice painterly approach, muted colors and poses. sweet.

min - this is hauntingly awesome. great drama, colors, movement and gesture. one of my absolute favs.

eri - just for the mere fact that you bring such a refreshin' look to concept art....i'd see these in a local gallery and smile. nice job mate.

mr. blonde - great mood and colors...serious drama goin' on here. bravo!

flimi - your pazuzu is just one twisted sister. sheesh! nice handle on rendering it up in the upper half.

wasker - your piece cracks me up, in a good way...the guys in the foreground are like yeah! i'm gonna kick thor's arse and then kaboom(!) toast. nice environment and lightning.

noen - it's a bit in the hypercolor range, but i honestly like this. your line work is very reminiscent of japanese drawings (as far as i can tell) and i like the layout. great job!

green - also one of my favs...you really know how to sell a story and your petals keep coming into your work (i love that!). great colors, design, gesture and expression. a real treat.

entdroid - you and your vector skills keep me in smiles. nice job on this one. i dig it.

trev - you keep raisin' the bar on yourself and it shows. there's a lot of good action and pose/drama in this entry. she's one pissed off bird. i dig it!

snarfevs - there's something about your work that i really like....you add all these delish elements that suggest a sincere appreciation for color and line. nice job.

sveta - this is just a lovely piece of art that i could see gracing a children's book on 'gods'....you really did some nice framing, good skull studies and a tempered color palette that harmonizes it all together. bravo!

evild - i really like this entry. you have successfully rendered: fabric/folds, and subtle tonal changes in the flesh due to lighting. but what gets me is the fabric....no doubt about it, your fabric is one of the coolest things in this entire tdome.

fedezz - seriously nice paint handling and expression in the foreground character is sweet.

jake - hahahaa.....scientology - well done! well done indeed.

all in all, a great series from everyone. sorry i couldn't play along.

all the best,
dave

here's a full list that i thoroughly enjoyed:fuck, missed the cut. well, back to the drawing tablet :dad:

[mull77]

haha, yeh man, same here :dead:

Great entries all. So what happens to those of us without partners? Do we get straight through, or get matched up with someone else?

[ikuru]

http://www.ondmis.dk/billeder/forumpics/supercool.jpg

Ha, ha!
Nice.


Masque
Yeah indeed, same here! If you aint on RED's list your NOTHING man! back to the drawing board....

Great entries all. So what happens to those of us without partners? Do we get straight through, or get matched up with someone else?
Hey you wish kid! You livin in a dream world huh? Well this one is the real world!
What hapens to those without partners in real life huh?

(have no fear though, Dr Jay will pair you all up)

[masque]

If you aint on RED's list your NOTHING man! not really. just a personal goal now & then.

[kboss]

Just seen the match ups... And you seem to have missed me out mate... Whats that all about?
I wasn't too bothered that no-one's mentioned it yet but just skip it out altogether? Harsh dude, harsh.

*crys into his pillow*

EDIT: Fixed, nice one buddy. Much appreciated.

[Anid Maro]

Excellent work by everyone!

I agree the judges will have a hard time picking, with the exception of Nerdlinger of course. :)

By the way, Ikuru...

You gonne rip my shitty rush job huh?


A: take your entry + mine
B: put your entry next to mine
C: do the math


No, I'm not going to rip your "shitty entry", I'm ripping your shitty attitude.

You think I seriously believed I'd be kicking any ass? I knew the calibur of artists I was going up against, I only signed up to learn something (which I did), not because I expected to beat anyone.

One would think a guy who talked so much crap could take a little back without resorting to petty comments.

So congratulations, you turned "Hey, good job, you sure put your money where your mouth is" into "Fuck you, asshole".

Anyhow, that's my piece. Moving along...

[masque]

see, Anid? give 'im a mm, he takes a frikkin' light year! :rolleyes: ah well, mebbe he'll larn, mebbe not.

_____

hey, resist, nice to meetcha, hope you got yer kleenex supply stoked, 'cause Ragnarok is about to fall upon you!

OK, manadatories done, best of luck, really, good work, glad to see you made it to the fray and can we still be friends after? :teeth:

Illy, it's no sub for openin' a can of whoop-ass on you, my fine furry friend, but all dogs'n'cats will have their day!

Draw advances to the next round
question ~
draw what?

can somebody explain the next step, please?
I missed this part for some reason :)

[Anid Maro]

Heh, just saw the matchups.

Me versus Mr.Blonde?

My ass is toast! Hah! :)

[Briareos]

don't be petty.... Its probably is a moot point. But your piece is to good to pull on a technicality.


not petty, just incentive againt the notion. 15 or 30 minutes is fine, I'm just talking about like a whole day or somethin.

[ikuru]

http://www.muslimcards.co.uk/sorry.jpg
Anid Maro, sorry, It's all smack man, don't take all the crap I say too seriously, where all here to learn more and have a good time and bitch everyone around.

[Anid Maro]

Anid Maro, sorry, It's all smack man, don't take all the crap I say too seriously, where all here to learn more and have a good time and bitch everyone around.

Well, damn....

Then you go apologize and take all the wind from my sails.

Sorry for taking your comment too seriously then. I'm still kinda new around here, so I don't quite know most of the posters around here. However, I'm not afraid to mouth off to people, so as a result I sometimes stick my foot in my mouth. :)

And seriously speaking (ironically enough), your piece is good man. I'm liking it a lot, especially the flowers and sun/fire effects. Real nice color work too.

One of these days we're gonna have to go head to head in a TD or something, eh? :)

[ikuru]

Well, damn....

Then you go apologize and take all the wind from my sails.

One of these days we're gonna have to go head to head in a TD or something, eh? :)

He, he, Yeah for sure! :painting: :yayca: manny more TD too come! Personally I think all this bitchtalking actually helpes to make better art, It's like "yeah I might suck now but one of these days Im gonne show all this big mouth suckers some kick ass art."

Thank you for your kind comments too. ;)
I think your compostition is nice, and It would be even nicer if you make more of a dramatic light on it.

[JL.Alfaro]

Alright, done posting the match ups-

Nobody got left out ( sorry about that Kboss) and if somebody did, let me know (im still part human you know)

I have to say, no matter who wins this round, there are some amazing pieces in here, just like I expected. I am glad, proud and joyful to be in the same competition as all you great artists. As far as I can see, there are no loosers here, only great ideas and skills coming together...

Even though there were a few entries that were far from being done, I must say that posting what you had shows a lot of your respect for your fellow artists. well done.

Time for trash talking is done, now let the judges do the talking- its time for crits and kudos.

Thanks to everyone who sent me a PM- but this puppy aint over yet!

-JL

[redehlert]

aw....masque...you know i care. and i did like your piece!...i forgot to give you kudos...damn browser window skippin' around. sorry hoss.
ikuru - yours was fine too, but i actually think it is a toss up between you and lewis. lewis really stepped up his abilities for this tdome and i admire that. hell...at least the two of you finished! who am i to judge. lol
cheers,
d

[arttorney]

My favorites are those showing the artist understood that kinetic attacks and energy attacks are mountable by mere mortals, and that the gods are apart from us because they count among their weapons time, space, and the fabric of reality.

Among that set, the ones who took the care to render out a thoughtful environment or environments for their god(s) were another step above.

Among those who had the above two things, the elite are the ones who actually and specifically showed a plurality of combatants (a God plus either another god, a titan or an army) in swift and dangerous collision, dispensing and or receiving profound jeopardy to their persons. The best among them will get any vote I have to give, as best living up to the topic. Thanks for showing me what you can do.

[Joeslucher]

Mr.Grumble- I really want to see yours finished. It looks like it could be a really great illustration.

[Djohnston]

T-domes are always worth the wait once you see all the artwork lined up like this.

-Voodoochile: Nice composition. Also, I hardly ever seem to paint with warmer palletes like this these days but I find myself drawn to them, I think you've inspired me to do just that.

-Greentopaz: wow, that is sick. Tripple head slice! The colours are my favourite thing about this, Kali pops off the page.

-strych9ine: Thanks alot, I appreciate that. I actually thought you had one of the most appealing pieces too. The execution was great but the concept was even better, I think I would have had way more fun if I could have come up with an idea like that. (as a child it seems you had that evil, darkened, sunken-in eye look going)

[chaosrocks]

I didn't make reds list either but neither did my opponent, so I guess I wont kill myself yet

chaos

[masque]

no sweat, Red. feel bettah now :). actually didn't feel real bad, just missed your sharp eye and smart words. no, not smart-ass words, smart words. i mean it! ;)

[entdroid]

Thanks for the compliments Arttorney and Dave! :D

I have way too many favorites, so much great artwork in this TD.
Cody vs eriboss, that's gonna be a toughie, probably my favorite match... Rich, Timmy, Min, Fed, MrBlonde your entries are so awesome!!

I must forgetting some for sure... just pure eyecandy! This was a lot of fun! :)

[j a k e]

Actually Chaosrocks I was on it hehe.

[chaosrocks]

Fuck..they weren't in order
sorry missed that..Ill go kill myself now

chaos

[redehlert]

sheesh...you guys are a riot.
makin' me out to be some crit gawd or goober...not sure which. ;)
chaos - you will keep on improving, which is why i gave you stars recently (even tho i didn't post any words in your sb). so thar. ;)
masque - noah! row over there....no rain! hahahaaa....just pullin' a quote of yours from another thread. you're hysterical, m8!
ok....back to work.
d

[chaosrocks]

it only that we respect and honour you so.....
and have to give work you hard cause you didn't post a ass kicking piece. you fish-smelling ppussy you

so there

chaos
ps I gots stars?

[Leari_79790]

Nerdlinger! You should post more! Your posts are fresh and a nice relief in a tough enviroment.
Awww how nice! and it's funny you should be saying that right before I judge your piece. Coincidence? I think not..

Thanks to everyone who sent me a PM- but this puppy aint over yet! The minute you picked me as a judge it was as good as over for you already...buahahahaa!

[Resist]

Interesting new match-ups! x)

There were some really breathtaking pieces pulled out of numerous hats here. Was great to sort of be a part of it all!

Masque.. Well, I really can't smack talk when I'm up against artwork like that. o: So simply.. may the best animal, mineral or vegetable win. :D

[redehlert]

oooh....chaos, you've sunk to a new low....even for a girl. ;)
yes....i gave you stars - yer givin' a lot of effort and it's showing.
cheers!
d

[arttorney]

"Awww how nice! and it's funny you should be saying that right before I judge your piece. Coincidence? I think not.."

Ha Ha! Nerdlinger! I saw you over there viewing the submissions thread. Still trying to figure out which of my gods is the one that's supposed to look like you? I'll never tell.

[Leari_79790]

It better not be the god you've nicknamed 'The lurker at the threshold'...

EDIT: Why is it that there are 44 match ups but I can only see 29?

[arttorney]

29 sounds right to me. Out of about 90, about 15 were pre-puss outs and about 15 were post-puss outs. 15+15=30. 90-30=60. 60 divided by 2=30. (which is approximately 29). I'd say it's within the constraints of my crude model. (is there an extreme dork smiley on here?)

[Leari_79790]

Super then!! Here are my findings..:}

Firstly I looked for how closely people followed the topic(60%) then skill was my second criteria to judge from.(40%)

Edit: I must have something wrong here...

[Snarfevs]

Arttorney! Thankyou! Your comment made it all worthwhile!

Sincerely appreciated :)

[arttorney]

Snarfevs: I could go on and on.

Nerdlinger::xpld:

[Joeslucher]

Those results look about like what I was expecting. I was a little surprised Voodoochile lost but the others I could understand. tough luck for him I guess.

[evildisco]

Jake lost? Frankly, surprised.

Thanks dave and everyone else.

[Rich Pellegrino]

haha. I'm not surprised I lost. Arkady brought it man. Well played ole' chap!

Joeslucher: I got a kick out of your piece. Way too funny.

[masque]

uh, people, nobody's won or lost yet, these are just the Nerd's findings, which are only a portion of the judging. just one slice of the whole pie. at least, that's my impression.

[bumskee]

shouldn't the results be posted when all the scores been collected or however the judging is done? THIS is WEIRD! :(

[j a k e]

Agreed... Have you even talked to the others nerdlinger?

[sve]

heheh, Nerdinger didn't like my bribe... OK, can of soup is coming back to me! It would have been nice though to have your own pocket judge... Dreamy.

Dave, thanks for the kind words, I'm super happy you like it. You are pretty strict. :). draw something like your peeled orange again. Lovely, refined and elegant. I'm waiting for this.

Count Strych9ine, thank you, gorgeous. To make something to your taste is a reward on its own... Yeah some of the features of my daughter are in Flora. It happened randomly though, I didn't plan for this. No, didn't use ref on the face. You were a cute kid. and you had soooooo many imaginary friends, I feel irritated by this.

[Snarfevs]

Yeah some of the features of my daughter are in Flora.

Your daughter is unstoppable in combat?!

[Leari_79790]

EDIT: I love the edit button, it saves so many dead jokes from going public:D

Sve: My old team mate!, I like your work you obviously put some great effort into the detailing but I felt not enough into the concept and unfortunately I considered the concept higher up the food chain, good work though.

P.S, Sve even though I did vote against you, it doesn't mean you need to stop calling me dreamy..

-Nerdlinger

[j a k e]

Was that trying to be funny/sarcastic?
Because I don't get it.

[ikuru]

Is all the judges gonne b posting here?
I dont get it.

I love you neard. ;)

[t i m]

Good job everyone. Definetly some really great pieces. My personal fav was Felicia's. Everyone though, good showing! :)

Tou - Great piece bro, I think ya licked me for sure!

[ikuru]

does anyone understand whats going on?

[masque]

ikuru, i think nasty Nerdy has graced us with a premature ejudgeulation :$ :xpld::dead::rolleyes:


somebody needs to fabricate a projectile vomiting emoticon. :barrrf:

[sve]

Dreamy, you're all right...I just wanted a little witty judge in my little embroidered pocket, that's all, is it too much to ask? ehehee, everything is good as it is... it will be a new TD ad new bribes. We'll see ;).
Snarfevs Yep. If door's locked she will climb into a window. With trident of course, silly girl, it is like a safety blanket for her...

[GriNGo]

nerdlinger made my day :) hope all the judges feel the same though (which I think they will not!)

[chaosrocks]

yeah Nerdy made my day too.... *sticks tongue out at evildisco...* I didn't even bribe him

even if he did jump the gun a bit. At least one Judge liked my piece....

chaos

[ikuru]

ikuru, i think nasty Nerdy has graced us with a premature ejudgeulation :$ :xpld::dead::rolleyes:


somebody needs to fabricate a projectile vomiting emoticon. :barrrf:

yes I think your right!
You got to admire hi's taste though. He's a good healthy boy and a great old man that neardlinger character.

Actually... (YO!) NEARD, I ment what I said before, and I do like your light sense of humor and I think it leaves a good taste to this ehrm place.

Compared to some other easygoing forums, I do feel this forum (much like art school) do take it self to seriously at times,
(you know, big talents=big egos) and then it's allways Nice when somone show up who doesnt take themselves like toooooo seriously.
Anyhow, I'm sure you get my point.
:donk:
/D

[rustikof]

man...those matchups (vs. felicia?? balls!) were rough.
oh well. well played :)

[ikuru]

what? did everyone go home allready?

[masque]

what? did everyone go home allready?probably a combination of workday, submission-frenzy burnout and judging-interval anxiety. patience, grasshopper :)


(we also need a Buddha-smilie)

[Ilaekae]

Be patient, grasshoppers...

You geniuses have entered pieces ranging from 7 (SEVEN?!?) to higher than 300 in resolution. These all have to be resolved by ME before they can be combined and uploaded for the judges. It's going to be a few hours yet, so cool it. One thing...when this is over, we're all going to sit down and have an ass-reaming session on this bullshit, as well as about half of you not designating your entries according to the rules. Every time you fuck something up that is clearly spelled out in the rules, you make someone else's life a lot more complicated, because they have to fix your pile of shit entry knowing you're going to complain and whine later about it being done...

JLA, stuff will be ready in a couple of hours. Alert the judges that they'll have the URL by this afternoon/evening.

[Felicia]

rustikof-
I really like your piece! Your style and line work are awesome. The character designs are great!
You definitely have a very strong piece.

[chaosrocks]

pore ilae...he's grumpy

<3

take your time, if anyone complains I'll smack em


chaos

[masque]

hey Ilaekae, you OK to go on that small venue change for our mano y mano? Thursday, 6am CST? just confirming you got the massage.



sry. "message".

[MyOrangeHat]

You geniuses have entered pieces ranging from 7 (SEVEN?!?) to higher than 300 in resolution.

Err....oops. Was mine the seven? My drawing was too big for the scanner and my good digital camera decided to go belly up when I tried to take my pic so out came the ancient camera to take the pic. I swear I practically had to wind up that old ass camera to make it work. But more resolution would not have made my drawing look any better unfortunately. lol

[ikuru]

It's funny, that small cat on the picture doesn't look that grumpy at all.

grasshopper...
I like that name...
thats me allright. ;)
Btw masque, where you in that Harry Potter movie?

Anyhow, while you all wait and suffer (I myself am sitting confident in the sofa, softdrinks and pocorn, 3D glasses on, waiting lazyly for the seccond round), here is a revision of that speed painting I posted earlyer on to entertain you brains for a while... hope you dig.

good luck to the judges and all.
http://www.ikuru.se/box/malmoeskyline.jpg

LMAO! :D Well you said all that, "I'm a "sniff" Ol GreyBeard" stuff the other day, you sounded allot like Hagrid I guess, thought you were him there for a while, that thumbnail looking like him and all... My mistake.

so, you got 3D glasses, eh? red & blue anaglyph readers? holy schmoly! Actually I lied about having them but I seen some down town, I might go and pic em up now. that looks pretty cool.
would be nice to try and play some games in 3D on the PSP I guess.

Maybe I'll just go buy a PSP instead, with tekken on it, thoes things are pretty cool.

[masque]

ah, Hagrid. well, we have a few things in common, 'cept i'm a lot bigger.

[chaosrocks]

Rusty ---whatch your mouth
Felicia just totally flattened your ass.. you can call her "sir" if you like.
but be assured,,,some "chicks" can draw a damn sight bettern you can.

and don't end a sentence with a preposition
properly
SORRY SIR I AM NO with WHICH TO HAVE YOUR WAY !!

[masque]

[sve]

OK, I'm gonna use my chance, and stuff some knowledge into my dark brains..
So this is wrong to say, isn't it?
What are you looking at?
Where are you from?
Where are you getting to?
Look under..
Man, I heard about this when I watched television one time, but I remembered from my student years so many examples of English sentences in the study book which ended with a preposition.
So please tell me, how all this works? if you have time and desire of course, to change one dark soul for a better person :).

[masque]
