Preserved Topic: Amerasu vs Nightshade

Hi Nightshade
Not entirely sure who serves here (first game) but I'm easy.. if you want to start things off, please feel free.

Oh amerasu, exepting when the players agree something different, the first named serves!

Ah ok, no prob. I'll be serving then Thanks for clearing that up.

Not that I'm not game but did I sign up for a game and forget?

Serve away though

Yup that's just what I did. Mayhaps I should sleep once in a while.

Ok, here we go:



Figured I'd start off simple and with a pretty wide canvas.

Nice shot I'll try to have a return up before this weekend as I have no net access at my new place yet.

OK here goes



Zip File

Looks interesting! Lots of possibilities there

Will upload a new one later tonight.

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on this match.

edit - I keep forgetting that sigs in pong matches are a no-no.

Ya I forget mine from time to time as well. Thought of going to a text one here, but hey this is a graphics forum.

Thanks for the comments I had a hard time deciding what to do with it. I'm amazed at what some people can do with images here and just hope to do well enough to keep the game interesting while I try new things.

The super bright and garish version...

Ooooo, neat! Nice one!

Very cool I Like it. I'll try to do it justice.

OK here goes again:



Self Extracting file

The file size is getting big so I used WinRar as it makes smaller files and just made it self extracting.
It's a quick return as I have no net access again till monday.

I really liked the aged writing you used and combined with the tiger, star and cool background you added, you gave me an idea for a new theme. When I saw those things, they said 19th century adventurer to me.. lol, yeah, I know that's weird. Anyway, I hope I haven't modified this too much. I tried to build on your new additions while moving away from the blues and pinks.

RAR file

Modifying is the point looks great. Course now I need to find some new ideas t add to it. I should return by Monday

Dang the file is corrupt

Well had some fun with your changes, I happen to be partial to parchment so i hope you like my parchment efforts. Also added a dipping pen and inkwell (hope I made them clear enough). Anyway have a look and have at it.



RAR file

I used Rar I hope that is OK the PSD is up to 11 Megs. At least when I use the best copression setting of Rar it gives about 50% compression. Perhaps combining some layers is in order soon.

Looks good!

I'm a bit behind with my work so I won't be as quick on the next couple of serves. I'm aiming for Wed.

Good enough I'll watch for it.

Managed a quickie this afternoon. Good job I work at home and my boss can't see me

I have no net access for a few days so I will be a bit with the return. I've already decided what to do though and will have it up as quickly as I can once it's done.

OK I'm back to work and online I'll get up my return ASAP

Looking forward to it

Well give this a try. A little new, a little old, and a little changed around.



RAR file

Hey! Looking good!

And the file size is small again.

Nice one guys - big changes are good

Nice game you two!! . some really nice serves here!!

Sorry for the delay, Nightshade. I find myself shamelessly addicted to a new game lately and it's interfering with everything from eating to Pong but I will get something finished this morning.

No problem. I just lost my computer due to a Fan failure. I'm hoping that the CPU survived as the system was still running when I shut it all down but I don't yet know which.

Thanks Guys we're trying and having alot of fun with this one.

Sorry to hear about your computer probs, nightshade. Nothing worse than losing it all so I hope it's ok.

Here's the last one from me (is this the last serve?).

It's pretty massive. I didn't want to merge layers in case you wanted to mess with them. If it's too much to download, I can merge and upload again.



Pretty big JPG

Darn it this just gets better and better :-)

Hey, nice game guys. I'm liking the degree of changes

Damn nice return gonna take me a bit to figure a return on this one.

Update on the System is that the CPU is fried and while I'm trying desperately to replace it finances are extremely tight. I do still have my work system so I'm not out of the game yet just gonna be kind of slow.

As for being last serve that is up to you. It's been a great game and I've learned alot playing it.
Also your RAR file is corrupt. I can't download it all I get an unexpected end of Archive error.

Crap... I suck with the rar files. I've zipped it instead and am uploading now. Should be there in a few.

I'll keep going if you're up for it. Good excuse for making graphics when I should be doing something productive

Funny man!!

I'll play with it this weekend. I'm reduced to a borrowed laptop so returns will be slow but the one advantage of the big chances we've gotten into lately is that there is plenty of room for more changes now. I will likely trim down the file size though.

Man! You did that bird by hand! Amazing stuff there. Incredable work. Now I'm realy gonna have to work hard this weekend on this. (actually I think I'm gonna play with the bacground and leave the bird alone.)

Bummer about your computer Nightshade, not nice

Take your time with a return, no rush on my side. I'll be out most of the weekend anyway. Plus I know how annoying it can be to make graphics on a laptop (or maybe that's just a personal peeve )

Yep, the bird was a bit fiddly but wasn't nearly as annoying as trying to figure out how to make realistic tree bark, lol. I actually developed the bird and the tree into something else today. I posted it at my Deviant site if you're interested.. http://www.deviantart.com/view.php?id=502130

Very nice work!! Surprised you didn't serve that up. Hmm now what ideas might that give me for a return. (Still not done)

salman: when a post is edited/cleaned-up more than once, take it one step further and delete the other notices of editing

Ok Finally

Not having a system makes for being a major pain but I finally got to put something together. Didn't come out as good as I wanted but I couldn't find the tutorial I was looking for on how to make an image follow a B&W shape later. I also merged alot of the layers on the bird to bring the file size down.

ha! That looks great!

Will work on a return this week

Great I get my new motherboard and CPU tomorrow and Internet will finally be hooked up Friday. Providing nothing else got fried during the meltdown that should set me up completely and get me back up to speed.

I'm getting a file not found on your rar file

Good news, congrats

Fixed I had it linked as a rar and it's a zip this time. Sorry about that.

I feel like we're telling a story here... zorkish



Big pic
Zip

Go ahead and totally abstract the pic if you want or do a complete style change. I ran out of ideas really and meant to get away from this style. Didn't work, lol

Nice work I'll have a closer look at it tomorrow.

Well I'm fresh out of idea's on this one for now, we've had 11 good serves and I'm thinking it's time to move on on this one.

Ok Nightshade, sounds good.

Thanks for a fun and interesting game. I really enjoyed it!

Awww is this it?

Well what a great match guys... (just remmbered something )... emm you too , very nice and great change of ideas all the way through!!! .

*Stares at screen and enjoys the artwork*

That was an awesome game - top marks o both of you there
