Preserved Topic: fraxyl vs Gil

Flat match, rotate image 90 degrees (CW or CCW, I don't mind) before or after painting your bit.


^actual size

nice piece . i love that green curl. I started by turning it 90 degrees clockwise, cause who am I to counter against the wisdom of a clock. I tried to keep to the spirit of your original serve; raw brush strokes with a touch of ambiguity and abstraction. I didn't broaden the palette too much because its only the first return, so i wanted my image to "reflect" the somber self-awareness that the cool dark greens make me feel. --g


^as seen on tv (sry couldn't resist)

sry about the delay lost my monitor be back in a day or so

Heh Grumble, I remember that. It still rocks.

[This message has been edited by fraxyl (edited 10-16-2002).]

Jeeze im sry about the long delay i hope your still into this match, Fraxle. w/o further ado here it is...



Due to the symmetry its hard to see the rotation, but its there 90 cw.

[This message has been edited by Gil (edited 10-23-2002).]

It looks like Gil has abandonded the match. Consider it open... except DocileBob because he sucks... kidding... but you took it last time.

I can't paint, I'm a self-confessed filter freak, I can only mutilate ... so I rotated it 90 degrees, filtered and blended and ... then the green vanished. Nothing added, only manipulated .. if you want to play with a defiler like me, here it is ... if not, I don't mind.

From Here to the Surface ...

I don't mind, Trib. Whatever sinks your battleship.

The return of the ugly green thingie ...

*THWOK!*

wooooo, nice match here guys

.... THWAP ... fast return .. busy at the weekend with family .. sorry




[This message has been edited by trib (edited 11-17-2002).]

wow, trippy!

I like this game *settles down with a bag of popcorns*

I would have loved to see this in a bigger scale though, but nevermind

-nimraw

Awesome return.

*THWOK!*

Arrgh ... thrown completely off-balance by the sudden loss of symmetry ... Trib rotates 180 degrees, attempts a complete change of direction and fires off a backhand ...

My wife asked me if I could make glass balls like DocileBob can .. so here's my version of ......

Docile Bob's Balls .... BLATT !!!

Browsing through the many matches that go on in this forum, I never cease to be amazed at the versatility of Photoshop, and all the various ways in which all these different and clever people use it to produce such completely different styles and images ...

This is FUNNNNN .....

[This message has been edited by trib (edited 11-19-2002).]

That's a good one Frax .. Looks like a blurred version of the Munch painting ... the Scream.

Sorry Frax, you made such a powerful serve that I couldn't bring myself to rotate it this time .. it could almost have taken a 90 degree C/W rotation but it just came out this way ...

Alien Pain .... Thwoppp ...




[This message has been edited by trib (edited 11-21-2002).]

Nice return, trib.

Looks like someone stepped on his glass balls...

That looks awesome... I think I'll also have to give rotating it a miss... just this once though.

I'll return later.

*THWOK!*

sweet merciful crap... this is GREAT!

Great return Fraxyl .. sorry about the tardy return, but it was a very full weekend, and I didn't get much time to myself. I'll be back asap with a new one ...

I'm just completely at a loss with your last serve ... It was too good to miss, and the permutations just kept on coming and coming .. I couldn't decide which ones to scrap and which to keep, so just for once I'm gonna break the rules and whack 2 balls back in one serve .. take your pick ... sorry for the indecision .. it's been a wierd old weekend ...

Rebirth ... BLATT


Space Horses ... WHOPP

Looks great! Although it was a hard descision, but I take the first one... just the way it looks like it's holding the other one like Madonna style or something.

Sweet merciful crap this one is cool!!!

(aside) .. the mind boggles ... can you just imagine what sweet ... merciful ... crap would be like ??? I can imagine the scenario ...

walking down the road and suddenly #squelch# ... bleagh!! ..

then a small voice from the sidewalk pipes up
"I forgive you, and I won't wreak a terrible revenge on you for squashing my perfectly turdy form underfoot and rendering me ugly, flat and a hazard to old ladies and skateboarders" ...

"Um .. who said that .. oh hey ... it was the crap ... (sniff) ... mmmm (slurp) .. yumm ... HEY EVERYONE .. look .. merciful crap .. and it's sweet too!!"

OK .. it's been a strange day ... quick someone .. find my PILLS !!!

[This message has been edited by trib (edited 11-26-2002).]

Hehehe ... i think we're going to have to restrict the growth in size or we'll get the MadSkis after us ...

I dunno how the top one happened, but there's still nothing added ... just algorithmic manipulation. Anyway, it's a 2-in-1 again this serve ...




[This message has been edited by trib (edited 11-27-2002).]

This one is turning scary

I always did have an eye for the macabre ... but that thing just appeared by itself after a series of layer duplicate and blend operations and a couple of ch-ops ... I think it's a haunting !!

I usually don't post in here, but wow. This one is beyond intense. Great job to the both of you.


-- Unoriginal Cell 693 --

*THWOCK!*

Well ... I didn't know where to go with that return .. so I went somewhere completely different ....

Homage to Georges Braque ... BLATT !!



I prefer the one here, but it also turned into this one if you prefer to work with a different image

[This message has been edited by trib (edited 11-29-2002).]

[This message has been edited by trib (edited 11-29-2002).]

I prefered the one you showed also.

*THWOCK!*

Whee .. I didn't know !what! to expect after my last serve, and you did it again .. the expected unexpected .. Great return Frax. I had to break my own self-imposed rule of not adding any extra data this time .. but I needed those few lines and dots just to give it some sense of scale ...

... Sorry but the canvas size was just getting too big for the pages here, so I only put up a thumbnail this time ... the bigger one is here (about 150K) ...

Seen from the other side ... WHAPP!!



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

"pattern... what pattern?"

@-@ kewl

Looking good Trib.
Return is on it's way.

hmm definately the longest match i've ever seen

-THE SPACE-

Yep .. and it just keeps taking off in new directions ... This could go on forever

*THWOMP*

I don't mind saying I'd kinda like to see this one go on for awhile. This just keeps getting better


-- Unoriginal Cell 693 --

I guess the way these images were going, it had to happen some time .. so ... BLATT!

Tactical ... not strategic ... ??
Tragic .... not statistical ...




[This message has been edited by trib (edited 12-03-2002).]

wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAN! You guys a really good at this game! Those images are phenomenal!
Keep it up - this match is hot!

Bodhi - Cell 617

A quick dash up to the net, and ... BLATT ... fast return ...

I'd really like to know how you do that swirl thing. It's an awesome effect.

Nice match, you two.

Some really sweet twists and turns.

Hey Frax, Ar you serious? ... well if not ... I fell for it ...

I took a slice out of the middle of your serve (the parallel sided bit) and I used Filter -> twirl with some quite small twirl angles. I find that twirls work best if I select a rectangle or square around the object to twirl. Then, to get the more squiggly ones I offset the twirl's bounding rectangle rather than twirling things that are centred. When they're offset towards the sides of the rectangle they swirl into more interesting shapes ... after that it's just copy, blend, fill and opacity.

[This message has been edited by trib (edited 12-06-2002).]

*THWOOGE!*

You did that with twirl?! Hmmm... I might try that... later. Thanks for the info though.

wow nice

Man Frax thats a sweet one ... You really are a great partner to play with ... but now ...

(muttering, Trib slinks off to his secret lair to plot his response ... mutter ... mutter ... mutter ...)

WHOPP ...



Here be faeries ...

*POW!*

Un..be..lievable.

This has been an amazing match, you two. Keep up the great work.

Fast and furious ... dark too ... Couldn't help it ... I just felt I wanted to add a little extra information to the image this time.

BLATT !! ...

way to go guys, this game is great

Jehsus! Gotta get a line on some of this creativity...nice match!
