Oh thats nice!

heh... Thanks... You have to love the circular selection tool...

me.

*grabs his gamecontroller and smashes the ball back in Spirit Hawk's direction*

-insert cheering crowd here-

PSD is at http://www.mahjqa.com/stuff/SHvM-2.zip

You can merge a lot when you get the *.psd, I just wanted to show how I did what I did. Which version of PS do you have, by the way? I merged the color dodge layers, so they wouldn't give you any trouble... I use PS version 6.01.

Edit: I must say I really like the shape you started with I added a little more symmetry mirroring the image.

Good start fellas... I'm liking that a lot...

/me has a feeling this is not going to be as abstract as DocO.VsTP...
looks nice so far. we'll see where you got with it.
Good luck!

Awesome first volley. Good stuff.

Just a gentle lob, barely over the net. Hoping to take advantage of Mahjqa looking away at the snack vendor.

PSD here, as always.

Oh, Mahjqa, I am using PS 6.01 also... SO, you can leave anyting you want in the PSD.

Also, I started using the "Caption" area of the image to leave notes of what I did. It's under File/File Info... Then go to "Caption"... There you will see a brief synapsis of what I did. Just to keep each other informed. Feel free to change the contents of the caption to whatever you want.

me.

uh oh.
do not try to do fire, when you're against mahjqa.


not a good idea.

seriously tho, very tidy work.

Oh! NOW you tell me... Hmm... Maybe next round I replace the ball with a lead filled one...

Yeah!

me.

that was fire??? No, really that is some sweet shapes and light stuff... and yeah.

After such a lazy lob over the net, Spirit Hawk runs and hides behind the net, where he thinks no one can see him. Awaiting the next thunderous volley from Mahjqa...

me.

*looking at snack vendor* Hey, do you have any coconuts around he... HEY!

*manages to swing back the ball, stumbles and falls on the ground* *crowd goes nuts* Ouch... Your turn!

You asked, sir? I posted 30 seconds after your post!

edit: which sig?

Nice inferno there mahjqa!

Me like!

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Spirit Hawk jumps up, getting caught on the net, but managing to get ot his feet. The ball is coming right for him... He pulls back... Wait... The ball disappeared! Everyone is dumbfounded!

(In other words, all the links to your site Mahjqa, don't work. I have no idea what your shot was, it's just showing up as a red X...)

The hunt for the ball begins...

me.

A fan from another court finds the ball, and throws it into Spirit Hawk's side of the court. Continuing the idea of screwing everything up in this match, Spirit Hawk jumps over to the vendor where he purchases some black pills with one hand, grabs a drink with the other, and with his other other hand, he smashes the ball over to Mahjqa. What a display of Pong ability... Someone must be proud... Who? We don't know, but we're sure they exist...

PSD over THERE...

JPG down below...



me.

*stands up, and barely manages to swing back the ball*

*gnaws on his coconut*

I wonder why the ball didn't get to you one turn ago, other people did see it. Does the kind person who returned Spirit Hawk his ball have a clue?

PSD is at http://www.mahjqa.com/stuff/SHvM-6.zip

Your server (www.mahjqa.com) was down yesterday... It came back up, and then I got the file...

me.

Oh, fire! *starts raindance*

Luv this stuff. Great work!
I'm gonna scalp the loser!

Who decides who wins anyway? And i don't think that scalping's going to be fun.... X.X;;;;;;

[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 11-21-2001).]

Don't think there are any 'losers'. Just added that for fun (kinda hard to 'scalp' someone with a tennis racket ). Man, can't wait for the return, yeeehah!

With a sideways-uppercut-twist-axel-double-hung-whammy, Spirit Hawk launches his volley... It's as if the ball were made of clay as it shifts shape through the air on it's way to Mahjqa, where it suddenly falls towards the ground right after it crosses the net.

PSD zippy is around THAT WAY.

JPEG, for your viewing pleasure is somewhere around here...



me.

On a side note, I am learning to really love the liquify command in Photoshop... It's quite useful for some things... I used it to make the waterfalls form to the symbol, and I also used it to change the birds to dolphins... Never really used it before this... Fun stuff...

me.

Rippin'! Stunning! Man, that was a shot, I tell ya! Whooooooo! *spittle flies out onto the first row, as WebShaman keeps on ranting*

*lobs a really easy one over the net*

(edit: nevermind that last comment, I think I can make something even better out of it.... )

PSD is at http://www.mahjqa.com/stuff/SHvM-8.zip



(and if you can't download it right away it means I'm still uploading)
(edit: done uploading. If you still can't download I don't have a clue either.)

[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 11-21-2001).]

Urghmumfll! *Webshaman swallows tongue in a frenzy of excitement* Uglmblle? *uses both hands to free himself of this embarrassing event, sees fans laughing at him, pulls out tomahawk, waves menancingly*

That is outstanding work! Unbelievable! My vote for 'best match yet'!!!!

With all the energy he can muster, he sends his final volley into Mahjqa's capable hands. He tells Mahjqa to put a spin on the ball and then hit it over to the ball-boy. This Hawk is done...

The image grew a little, to 800x600... But I believe in ending things on a big note... You can shrink it down if you like while you take your last turn, Mahjqa.

Looking for the PSD zip file? Well, I won't tell you where it is, this time!

Find the JPEG for yourself!



Awaiting your last volley!

me.

Mahjqa, please feel free to bring any layers that I deleted back into the PSD... You can get them from the previous PSD... Sorry, just realized I had deleted them, when I did not intend to... If you need any of the PSD's, I have them all...

me.

what happened to the fire?
i liked it!

[This message has been edited by me (edited 11-19-2001).]

I'm getting that back *evil grin*

*Mahjqa smashed the ball as hard as he could*

*The ball rocketed upwards into the athmosphere, never to be seen again.*

*walks over to Spirit Hawk* Well, I guess this match is over, then? I liked it. Well done.



Edit: I'm there, dudes. [/beavis]

a real good game, guys!
nice contradiction between fire and ice... top and down...
love it!

[This message has been edited by me (edited 11-19-2001).]

Good game, Mahjqa... It's been extremely fun!

Thanks for the great match!

me.

Even though Majhqa`s server is down again, this is an outstanding match. kudos to you both.

It's back. Anyone still want the PSD?

And the winner is....Mahjqa, for saving the screaming shot that was just barely inbounds! What a backhand!

Great match, guys! Hope this gets archived in 'best pspong matches'. Wonderful work!
*considers scalping Spirit Hawk, looks at picture again, decides not to*

Ya get to keep your hair this time, paleface!

I'll take a copy of the PSD... Keeping an archive of our match...

me.

You could've guessed the location of the zip, but I'll give it.
http://www.mahjqa.com/stuff/SHvM-10.zip

hehe... Yer right... I thought about trying that, but I wasn't sure if you would upload it to your server if it wasn't requested...

Anyways, thanks again for the zip, and definately for the match... Well worth the time...

me.

Nice match guys

Although...I find the implication of a 'winner' to be rather insulting to the other player.

Yeah that was great! Two heavywieghts smckin each other around with style!

This was probally the best match I've seen so far. Funny thing is the spirit hawk tried to use two of mahjqa's best skills. Dolphins and fire! wahoo! That was a blast!
