I will try and get something up by tomorrow evening.

sib

Here we go ....



and here is the zip

Have come to the conclusion that I really have to work on being more aggressive with what I do and not worry about the little things in the image.

edit to fix link

Cheers sib, got the psd, luv what you've done, gotto go play, heh.

I really do like the texture you used as a base there sib, I tried to recreate it but failed miserably
Have a great time over the xmas period, I'll catch you on the other side.

Tao -I am working on a return ... just in case you need the space.
Not to sure what I am doing with it but I should have something in day or two.

sib

Sorry Tao it took a little longer to get something going and I still need to sort out this webspace thing.



and the rar

sib

forgot - layers relevant are labeled in red <- edit to add this

Nicely done sib

Amerasu

Ok sib got it. Lookin' good.
I have never got into the habit of using folders. Is their function purely organisational or is there another use/function?
You know, the more I get into PS the more I find I need to learn! I keep on finding treasure after treasure.

I just started using them recently to be honest. But I find it really helps me keeping things a little better organized and so far I have had no problems with the staking of the layers. One of my biggest problems is adding layers and not labeling them and then try and find what is what.
The tools to be organized are there so why not learn to use them ... mind you old habits are hard to break.

sib

Thanks Amerasu

Sorry about my delay in replying sib, 'tis due to time and a little artistic blockage
I should have a reply for you in the next day or two.
I've found that I don't know as much about creating a textured background as I thought I did! I really like the ones you have used, are they stock or did you make them?
::tao::

Don't worry about time !

The hand is a stock image and I have to check where I got it from. The texture I used in the first serve is from a very old print I found in a box in the basement and scanned that one. When it comes to making my own textures - to be honest it is a hit and miss affair for me too. Sometimes I ask myself if ever gonna get a decent handle on this program and just when I think I got something down pad ... something else comes along and I am back at the beginning again.

sib

Well I got a little splurge of work done so I thought I'd better post up now, before I decide to change it all again. Not so much inspiration as perspiration, I just banged away at it and hoped something would appear!
I've turned all the layers off to reduce filesize, and marked the layers I used in blue. (good idea sib).


.rar

::tao::

Been a long day and I wasn't to sure which way to swing with it .....

and the rar

OK sib I've got the .rar thank you.
I know what it feels like not having much web space sib. I'm upgrading soon so if you have any sigs or images you need hosting for a while, I can do.
::tao::

Thanks Tao, very kind of you and I will keep that in mind .
Down comes the rar and up goes the rp

sib

Just posting to let you know that I haven't been abducted by aliens or anything
I'm about to lock myself in a room with PS and I'm not comming out till I've got something for you. My deadline in midnight.

I did, of course, mean midnight on planet Tao


and the .rar Here
I've used all the layers, just turned them off for filesize. All the layers I wasn't using I've dumped, I hope that's OK. You have the .PSD from your last serve anyway, right?
::tao::

Very nice needless to say I got the rar.

sib

I have put a page up on my site with the images we have created so far in this game, so they are easier to view all in one place.
I hope this is ok with you sib
sib and Tao play pong

No problem ! I have been very busy so hopefully I can get soemthing togther this weekend.

sib

and the rar

Not to sure what I was trying to do here ... duuuuh

sib

I've grabbed the .rar sib
I like the times, doing stuff like this, when you find you're doing things with the image you never tested before. And end up somewhere you didn't imagine
I'm in the middle(ish) of a complete re-format of my computer so I may be a bit longer replying I've just installed PS on my new HDD, it looks lean and mean without the plug ins and preferences set.

Well here we are at the magic 8th round sib, I'm not sure if you wish to continue or not.
In this one I have pulled together a couple of previous serves and "punted"
If we do continue I think I'll need to mash it up a little and change the "feel".

Nice serve ! I would say "Lets call it a game" if that is ok with you?

It has been a lot of fun and learned a few things in the proccess.

sib

Yep, that feels about right for me too sib. Thanks for giving me a great game too. I find that I seem to produce work that I never would have thought of outside of the "game". I hope we can have another game of Pong in the future.
I have put all the images we produced Here So if you wanted to save web space and still show your pictures you could use them.
