Preserved Topic: - mbridge v. Nimraw -

*mbridge hits a friendly serve to Nimraw's side*

Get the image here.

Get the .psd here.

Well, I definitely have an idea as to how I would proceed with this image, but it will be interesting to see if our ideas coincide. Hell, scrap it completely if you want! Good luck Nim!

Yoohoo! Very 'Klingonish!'. *Loads peacepipe for what looks like a very interesting match.*

Can't wait for the return! Nice one, mbridge.

Ohhh. Biohazard!!

I like it but have no idea what to do with it yet...

I'll get to it after work today (which means after 17 Asylum time)

hmmm Life got in the way a bit this weekend, but hang in there, mbridge.

I'll have a nasty lobb back to you by tomorrow

*Nimraw finally gets out on the court after a mishap by his alter ego and lobs the ball back in a preset direction*

Guess I got myself too much water before the game

The zip is 1,5mb

sweet, that shading/texturing will work out extremely well for what i plan to do with the image. i'm extremely busy today...10 page literary criticism to write, but i'll definitely get that ball back over the net tomorow.

*mutters* Damn. Saw the pic from work today, and it's darker than I intended. I forgot that I've got pretty high gamma on my machine at home...

oh, well. I'll remeber that when I'm up for the next one...

-nimraw

Ok, I know I significantly changed the image, including hiding one or two layers (the 'pole' layers). If it's not cool with you Nimraw, feel free to put them back in image! I know I might be bending the rules a bit here but I hope I don't upset you. Like I said, just put them back in (I was sure not to delete them).

So ya...I switched over to a dirty metal look. I was going to go into some fine details but I figured the match was taking too long already. I'll leave that for you or for my next turn.



Here's the psd.

Sweet!

Well, you totally blew my underwater concept ..well.. out of the water but otherwise it wouldn't be pong, now would it.

I wont be able to get anything for you until the day after tomorrow. Gotta party going on that affects my real life alter ego as well

-nimraw

Darn it! No 'water' torture? *Puff, puff* Oh, metal is good though, kinda reminds me of my tomahawk...wonder where this will go?

Nice work, people, keep it up.

TEXTURE WHORE!!!


~sniffles~


I'm so proud.

Nah, all photoshop on that one. Sorry to disappoint you. Although now that I think about it, it does possibly bear resemblence to your gurusnetwork tutorial.

Oh no..I knew it was all PS, Mike, that was why I was proud...heh.

It's veddy nice texture work, grasshopper....impressive indeed.

In that case, I am an ass.

(Thank you.)

I'm really sorry, but I've got to abort this match.

My workload took a quantum leap today and a bunch of other stuff fell over me, so I do not want everyone to have to wait forever. (NO this has nothing to do with the midlife crisis, Emps! )

Mike, I sent you a mail about it. Hope you got it.

I'll be back again when things clear up.

Sorry to have to bail out like this.

/Matt

so now what is happens?

some one else gonna fill in?

bytheway, that is nice metal. That looks good. I have found it very hard to make a sheet of metal...


cheers on yer journy...

[whisper]it looks like Nimraw is having a midlife crisis[/whisper]

I'm sure these kind of things are going to happen from time to time - speak to mbridge, taxon and Weadah and come to a solution. Personally I'd like to see you 2 resume this when Nimraw isn't going out getting tattooed, buying Harleys and chasing women young enough to be his daughter and I suspect the rules are flexible enough to cope.

Whatever suits you 2 really or we could schedule a grudge rematch!!

Emps

On the plus side of things, I've been looking for a good quality biohazzard logo for an article on Anthrax, and this will do just fine.

So, something good did come out of this!

Oh ya! Just steal my frickin biohazard without even asking!

Bastard.

~cough~

(of course you are free to use it!)

[This message has been edited by mbridge (edited 11-29-2001).]

I'm bumping this so it won't get closed or deleted..

Me and Mike have agreed to continue this within a week or so.

Emps, the tattoo is in place, but I still lack the bike and the women. I'll be back when I'm all set

-nimraw

Nimraw: Glad to see everythings going well with the mid-life crisis (I also recommend getting drunk and starting a fight with a young man in his early 20s over an 18 year old girl - hospital food is not what its cracked up to be).

I think we all want to see this match play out when work is less hectic!!

Emps

Niftay! I cant wait to see this one played out.....

*Consultes Great Spirit* Ok, everything can proceed, no harm done. Can't wait for the match to continue.

OK, back in business again I guess...

Played around a bit with this one.
mbridge: I scrapped the unused layers since your last return to keep us at a reasonably decent filesize. Feel free to replace them from the old file if you need them..

here goes



Click the zip

I went with the texture-theme on this one, just adding a bit of this and that. And a torn off dolls head

-nimraw

[This message has been edited by Nimraw (edited 12-11-2001).]

oh, that right.

quick update for emps.
Skipped the drunken fighting, started dating a girl thats just 4 months younger and didn't buy me a motorcycle.

But I am going snowboarding this weekend.
This must mean that I survived through it pretty well, right?

Just a heads up. Even though we got this back on the road, I'll be gone from a decent connection thursday to sunday, so y'all can expect my next volley on sunday.

giving you plenty of time to work with it, mbridge

-nimraw

Good...because honestly, I'll be lucky to get it done by then. All my college apps are due next monday and I still have a helluva lot of essays to write. I'm also looking at a fat term paper due the middle of next week. Did I mention I'm going out of town this weekend? The list goes on and on...but we will see if I can slip in some time for PSPong. No promises until Monday though.

Don't worry Mike

You waited for me, so I'll wait for you. It's all in good fun

Ya, it's going to have to be tomorow (Monday). Biiiiiiiggggg term paper due and I just bought the MLA an hour ago. That can't be good.

ya, i just painted some random shit...

Hey Mike!

Where's the zippy?

In your email.

Download it here.

a pentagram?

yep. originally there were pools of blood on the ground, but those were editted out.

Hmmm, interesting...

~puts glasses on~

peculiar... but you are working well together.

keep it up soldiers

The pentagram is upsidedown... that is a star... the upper peak should be pointing down... otherwise really nice guys! =)

Sorry ata, but it's still a pentagram, no matter if the "single point" us upward or downward
(didn't you read the swedish mag Pentagram that was published a few years ago? )

Ok, here goes. Not very much christmas spirit but wtf. It started to get a bit disturbing so I ran with that. Gotta count for something...




Zip it!



[This message has been edited by Nimraw (edited 12-20-2001).]

zip's not there.

Good match, guys. I like it.

actually it looks slanted.... but i think ata is right, a REAL pentagram is facing down, but a star with a circle around it is also satanic, just not used in cults sa often as the actual pentagram (i gotta stop looking at all these satanic sites).

You know, now that I think about it, I really admire those textures. GJ on both of you.

[edit] also the eye in the center of the bio haz, thats pretty cool too! [/edit]

[This message has been edited by InSiDeR (edited 12-20-2001).]

Sorry... got a , instead of a . in the url

Here's the zippy

And regarding the pentagram.

A five-pointed star with a single point upward is the type of pentagram used by "white magicians" that use their powers for the greater good.
If the single point is downward it's the type of pentagram used by "dark magicians".

The pentagram in itself is not satanic, but it is a central part of many magic rituals
(all AFAIK of course )

And while were at it, satanism is a term that is very widely (ab)used. Are we talking old La Vey here or the common certifiable devilworshipernutcases



[This message has been edited by Nimraw (edited 12-20-2001).]

Nimraw: It does seem like you know too much about this subject - have you taken your mid-life crisis hellraising too literally?

Great match you too - it is certainly one of the more disturbing matches we've had so far.

Emps

well now...let's see....i just paint (not very well, i might add) random shit. oh well.



download.


[This message has been edited by mbridge (edited 12-21-2001).]

Nice one, mbridge!

I'm going away for the holidays, but I'll get to it when I get back (in about 1,5 weeks)

-nimraw

Manson is awsome dude, I love his music.

i'm pretty sure this is going to be the longest match in the history of pspong. cool!

*knock knock*
Looks like this one might be finished after all.

Hold on for a couple of more hours.

I've been working on it today and will finish tomorrow morning.
Hard to get things right with this damn flu...

-nim

oh sure, trust me.....i'm in no big hurry....just wanted to see if you were still alive

Ok, finally I'm back with a very dirty lob. Nothing to be proud of, but I owe it all to the little germs messing with my head





Zippidi do!

Why is it that the pentagram blobs up when I open the file.
mbridge, what version are you running? I'm on 5.5.

Nifty work.

I'm with Photoshop 6.0 so that's probably the problem. The blending modes act rather different in 6.

awww, you coulda done something better then just invert mansons pic! slap in a few color dodges & overlays!

what the fuck are you talking about?

LMFAO, look mansons pic was just inverted in color, thats cheap .... atleast to me, still cool though!

Yeah, whatever.

The pic is kind of busy as it is, but I like to work with what I've got and not tilt it away too much.
Although this is mostly an inverted screendump and a bit of clouds. No color dodge though

Stop whining about the fact that I inverted your idol. Just be happy that I didn't transform him in to the second coming of christ Then I'll bet you'd cry.

And i still blame my fever. Thats just the way it is

[This message has been edited by Nimraw (edited 01-12-2002).]

A) Hes not my idol, i hate "HIM" for his actions and personality, i LOVE a lot of his songs.

B) I am not against jesus christ, i just like gothic stuff, its always interested me

C) no im not offended just shut up while your still ahead

Insider, people who emit that critics, should prove that they can improve do it much better, can you?

This is a damn good match. great work guys, i'm well impressed

*looks around*

hey mike. Should we classify this match as done and done, or do you want another lob?
