hah, wood.

I will have something by tonight hopefully, lol.

I'm sorry, but I went with a smaller canvas so I could see what I'm working with better on my resolution.
OK, well... here it is, JPG and PSD.

Are you sure you've read the guidelines exoeight? Rules and Guidelines
My interpretation of these is that we manipulate an image, and not just introduce another image (eg, the face). Now, I am willing to play to any guidelines you care to set, but for the sake of continuity we need to be "playing on the same court" at least, don't you think?
No biggie tho' ,,,'tis very understandable, and I do like the image you sent back.
My return will be soon.
I had a look at the link you gave in the thread "serious competion" but I could not find any examples of "pong" type images there.
tao

I'm sorry I wasn't spacific enough.

If you go to www.angryblue.com then click on Gallery at the top navigation, then click on "Battles" when the page loads. I'm playing this based on the way it's been done there.

If it's alright, I would like to continue like this. Introduce any image you would like. Just as long as something from the previous image is kept.

thx. ^_^

edit: lol, I found this quote in the rules thread, "There's no rule as to how you alter the image or how many layers you add..."

righty o exoeight, I think I see what you mean?
I'm just loading the page "Dubtastic and Angryblue2" atm. I'm on a 56kdialup so I thought I'd post this while I was waiting for it to load.
It's a style (of Pong) I haven't used before, and an element to the game, I hadn't considered.
(Actually the one that I am looking at now mentions in their intro that the images used could only be photos they have taken themselves. Shall I presume that this is not what you mean. As you said any image?)
Please excuse my ramblings here, but I think it is important that we both know what the parameters are. Heh, I like to know what the rules are, so I know the precise moment when I "bend" them
While I am assimilating the examples you have pointed me to. Why not pop over HERE To get an idea of previous Pong games here at the Asylum. Or check out the Asylums Pong archives.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm quite happy to adapt to any "form" of Pong.
tao
[edit] OK I'm looking at all the examples now exoeight, just so I can get a good feel of the thing. I did have a "return" that I was going to post, but it's not at all in the style you are suggesting. So, I'm going to start over, I will therfore take a little more time, but if you can bare with me, things should get rolling along nicely after this....[edit]

That's ok. ^_^

I'm only now researching and learning all about photoshop PONG, photoshop Battles, and all the different versions.
Actually, the game is not as universal as one might think, it seems to be very forum spacific.

If you register at http://www.graphic-forums.com/ you'll get access to a forum called "the battle grid."

I think I found my home. I've been trying to battle all over other forums, but people kept on getting confused or mad at me and I couldnt figure out what i was doing wrong. Go figure. For some reason all the changes I did didn't qualify, which makes no sense to me. It was a change, and still creative right? Silly me.

Now I know why, that is the forum I should be at. If you want, we can do this battle, but if it isn't what you're accustomed to or interested in let me know. ^_^

Else... let's play! =D

www.exoeight.net

Oh,,, I want to play... Heh
I think it will make a refreshing change for me, to attempt the style you suggest and I am looking forward to the challenge, thank you exoeight.
I'm keeping the document size as it is (500x698)
Either link or thumnail to the .jpg
Link to the .psd (zipped if the filesize starts to get too large)
Now time to play,,, give an ol' tao time to "catch his breath" and I'll post up in two shakes of a Taoists eyebrow
tao

I didnt know there were rules

*prints the pong matter, wipes bum with it, irons out crinkles, scans, and posts for return*

see there, that's how it's played

exoeight I hope you don't mind my rotating the canvas on this one... I found it took me a long time to get started for some reason? Then it was a case of knowing when to stop! Heh,
tao

That is pretty cool. Gotta say I love the things you came up with. Expect something crazy from me soon... later. ^_^

www.exoeight.net

I tried out using an action to get the diminishing rotation effect, and got a bit carried away, heh.
tao

Sorry it took me a while, had some issues with my website and hackers... but alas! here is my return!!!

I really liked your last serve exoeight, great composition.
Here is my latest effort, I'm enjoying the game, 'tis a good exercise trying out styles and methods seldom, if ever used before.
Cheers

Just out of interest, how did you do the bluish fire exoeight? Got me curious.

hah, thats a cool return. I'm gonna have fun with this one. hehe.

The blue-ish fire.. thingy... the best way I can think of explaining that right now, is, I took the red fire, I changed the HUE with Image>Adjust>Hue/Sat.
Then I changed the Curves, and some airbrushing, with the brush settings set to 15%-30% flow, and linear dodge. The linear dodge really came in handy for the lil glowing orb things.

I hope this helped. =)

tao

I'm sorry, due to some school testing and other things, I am going to have to stop playing right now. This was fun though. Would you like to play me again when there is more time? perhaps after christmas? I will have so much time then. I am on a long break too. =D

www.exoeight.net

That's ok exoeight, thanks for the game. I'll perhaps catch you again when you have more time
