Preserved Topic: DocOzone vs. Tyberius Prime (Page 1 of 1)

OK, I couldn't wait, I was just to darned excited! Here's my server, a nice easy lob, just *hanging* right there in front of the net, heh heh.



The PSD can be found in this ZIP file, threee layers, one mask, everything intact and ready to go!

Your pal, -doc-

hahaha... good stuff Doc....

ok, I'll start working on it.
You'll have a few hours for your next one since I'll by out this afternoon :-).
But I'll make the first volley before I have to leave.

Tyberius Prime

Cool cool, I'll be here. I'm going to do my best to play my side of the game almost "time based", even though we're on a turn based game, right? This is kind of exciting, and a little bit scary to me, I never had much luck with the Make-it! competition, my brain typically runs along on its own little track, and dislikes curves that I didn't create! (At least we're in the same time zone, that ought to help, eh?)

ok, first round...
I won't be home before 2000, so take your time :-).
PSD

yours, but slightly in a hurry,

Tyberius Prime

oh, he don't play fair.

Jason

Hoo, hrmph, that was a hell of a twist to throw at me! I may have over-reacted with this one, giving a shot at spinning this one back onto the court *I* was playing on, heh. Unfortunately, even as a JPEG, this one is a *big* fat jpeg, so here's a thumbnail of it (click to see the full-size.)



And the ZIP, (now up to 914k!) live at the other end of this link...

Your pal, -doc-

It occurs to me, kind of nasty to fill up all the empty space, but if it gets too crazy I may just throw a "gaussian blur" layer over it and take it somewhere else entirely, heh. You feel free to do something crazy too, no holds barred, cool?

Your pal, -doc-

hmm. seems we want to go into completly different directions with this... this is gonna be fun.
Big don't scare me, got DSL since Tuesday (786kb downstream...), only your server seems a little slow... (around 6kb right now).

JKMabry: What do you mean?

so long,

Tyberius Prime

and the PSD

uhoh. you're gonna hate me. it's like 1.73 MB now. I guess that's part of what the One-Layer Rule is for.
I'll comment in the next post a bit on what I did to it, so the others have something to read while waiting :-)
On that note, mind to explain how you did that big 'round railroad track' thing, Doc? (of course, finish your turn first *g*)
I'd appreciate it. (and my personal guess is polar coordinates. But I might be completely off here)

Tyberius Prime

ok, I obviously inversed it. (curves layer, just reversed both ends, since I did not want to flatten the image),
Then I made the hat (really cheap. Rectangular Marquee, gradient alpha channel and lightning effects).
Then my favorite thing for wasting time: Wave/Fade Wave Combo, for the waved (hmm) railroadtrack things...
then I grabbed Doc's Alpha Channel, made a new rRailroadtrack thing, removed it from the curves mask and spherized the background in the center of it.
Also added some black between the lips and some purple unsharp stuff in the back, to make it a little more friendly.

so long,

Tyberius Prime

Psst... Tyberius Prime... if I were up against Doc, I would toss in some vector/shape layers. I bet that would throw him off. But don't tell him. Hehe.

Did I mention to have a slight aversion against shape layers? I haven't really gotten into them yet. Maybe I should go and look for tutorials...
(Hey, and from my point of view, I'm up against a God. Which means I might be able to steal fire. Or tricks. or whatever.)
(btw, Doc, you're not taking interns for a couple of weeks, are you?)

so long,


Tyberius Prime

Oops! I'll keep my mouth shut, then. LOL ~runs off for more popcorn and Coke~

well, I'm going to bed now. I hope to see your work tomorrow when I get of school.
Bye

Tyberius Prime

Ooh, it just gets worse and worse, bigger and bigger! I hate to think of how big the PSD file is getting now. Well, I did a full 'copy merged' on what we had and ran a horrible big motion blur on it (having copied the original first, heh), and did some series of strangenesses to the color again, I *like* orange! One the layer above, set to Opacity, we have two nearly untouched versions as you gave them to me, with borders. The overall piece needed a border too, I thought.



And the ZIP, (now up to 2.2MB!) lives at the other end of this link...

Your pal, -doc-

I couldn't sleep...

'And on what does the smiley stand?' the professor asked.
'Don't worry, it's smileys, all the way down' the old lady said...
This is the place areally fat zipped PSD is existing...

Good night. Sigh, I'm not the least bit tired yet. And I have to get up for school at 0630... dang.
(edit: fixing tags... My mind must be slipping already...)

Oh wow oh wow, where to go from here? By my figuring, I've got one last shot at this image, then TP gets his final shot at it, then... ? It's nearly 2AM here, and I think I'm going to have to sleep on this one, I'll fire my last salvo tomorrow lunchtime or so, cool?

... looking further, hmm, I say! ...

Hrmph, OK; I played *just* a little bit before I said goodnight, and liked what I was seeing, so here's my final shot at this image, some play with Polar Coordinates and a displaced glass ball of sorts. Have at it!



The (now *very* very bloated, nearly 4MB!) ZIP file lives here.

Your pal, -doc-

You said it, Doc. Outstanding work, you guys.

ooohhhh
aaaahhh
Ozonahhh

Jason

oh no! It's the evil glass ball of utter defeat!
But I'm not going down yet, although I technically have to go to school in like 10 minutes. So don't expect anything from me before 1700 CET.
(and I love the look of that, Doc)
So long,

Tyberius Prime

sorry. School took longer than expected (an unexpected drama session showed up... should be aware of those, since I'm playing the main character.), and then I had to get my CDR back from a friend who had borrowed it... and he wanted to finish 'just this batch' first.
So now I'll start working on it.

Tyberius Prime

ok, here is my (last?) shot.


Click to enlarge
and here is the zipped PSD (warning: 6000+kb!!)

So we are finished now? Well Doc, if you still got an itch, we can go on :-), but honestly I suggest we seek out new 'opponents'.
Great game. Thank you for playing me (and that with the intern wasn't really a joke...)

so long,

Tyberius Prime

edit: strange, it's displaying a old thumbnail... I'll dig into it, until then, click to enlarge will still show the right one...

[This message has been edited by Tyberius Prime (edited 11-19-2001).]

well played ~applause~

a most interesting match indeed, not one for the purist but the strategy was intriguing and the technique worthy of note. Purely offensive on the part of both players, not a hint of defense to be seen. A real crowd pleaser that was.

Jason

hey! Defense never one a game!!!
(learned that the hardway in starcraft, some years ago)

Even though I was a mere spectator, the psychodelic element through me off.

I must admit that it was fun watching Doc squirm under the 1 Layer rule. At least I think he was. Was that rule lifted? Never mind. I'll go check for myself.

Anyways, good match.

it was lifeted, or we would proably not have reached that filesize :-)

That is TRULY insane!!! lovin it!

edit: sorry... i have sig issues...

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 11-19-2001).]

doc? still there? didn't here from you all day (and I don't consider 2AM today...)

Ah! Sorry, still here, but I've been working all day, and had guests this evening. This was *indeed* a worthy match, I wasn't quite sure how this would play out when I started, but you kept me rocking throughout, I *still* never knew where it was gonna end up! I think we are finished though, so many things happening here, I think I'd have to start with a 320px Gaussian Blur and create a (nearly) clean slate to do anything else to this image, and I don't want to do *that*.

Actually, I may sit back a few days and recover after that one, I feel like the immortal Mr. Balboa after that round (or was that the side of beef? Whatever, I feel like that. Great job Tyberius! We'll play again, though if I get to serve the next one is gonna be an overhand SMASH, I'll have to do my best to steer it onto my turf ASAP! Thanks for the game, I loved it!

Your pal, -doc-

Hey Doc,
shouldn't we sign this thing?
(/me goes out, get's a candle and starts drippling wax on his desk and pressing random objects into it... gotta figure out what a wax seal looks like...)

yours,

Tyberius Prime

Ok, you have a point there, especially if any of these things end up in a PSPong archive somewheres! I'll bounce this ball around a bit and then lob it off to the ball-boy. Here ya go!



Good fun this was!

Your pal, -doc-

~grabs it and runs off to sell it on ebay~


great pic !

Heh heh, thanks Shiii! You way out-performed both of us in your last match, though, we were fighting, you two seemed to have the same vision right from the start, and finished off with a masterpiece! Kudos to you, truly. :-)

I'm going to lock this thread now but leave it here in the forum for a few days, I'll create an archive to store all of these matches later this week, cool?

Your pal, -doc-
