For poor performance, the person in question will be scalped.
Chanting is allowed by the fans, and encouraged.
No rain dancing!
The Great Spirit has been consulted, and has given His approval.

Service! A high, arcing lob, directly into the sun! With the left hand, throws a low arcing boomerang Tomahawk! Whoops! Where did that bird come from? Ballboy removes said bird from court. *Heh, sorry (sheepish grin) What was in that pipe?*



Here is THE ZIP

*chants*

*dark clouds start to appear above the court* uhhm... oops?
And all hail the [chrome] gradient. Let's get it on!

*Does Sun Dance, dark clouds disappear* Grrr! Tomahawk to left bank! *ploink!* That was the blunt end, dang it! Here, Mahjqa, Peacepipe! Take a puff! *hands Mahjqa pipe* Don't know what's in it.
*awaits return*

*takes a puff*

I don't know what's in it either, but... *face goes all green*
*returns pipe*

Hehe! Greenhorn! Don't worry, you'll soon be seeing strange colors...No wait. That was Fantasia, by Disney. Oh, err, shouldn't have used those Shrooms I found lying around in Wakky's cell...

BTW - worms armeggedon rulz!

Listening to the Doors 'waiting...waiting...waiting for the Sun'

*wonders how he landed on this court and why he has a tomahawk jammed in his skull*

Takes a hit off the peace-pipe anyways... Then flies away...

me.

Hrmpa? (throws some peanuts on the playing field, thinks about trotting off to the snack stand?) The crowd appears... restless.


Your pal, -doc-

~Shows up late. Trades coffe mug for a hit off peace pipe. Decides to airbrush the warpaint.~ My eyes! Aaargh. Jeez Webshaman, you musta lobbed that succer up there pretty high.. wait a sec.. I think I see it. ~Runs to the back of the court gripping racket like a baseball bat. Runs back to the net.. runs back again.. pulls whisk broom out of his silver sequined speedo and dusts off a roughly pentagonal selection of the court.. hopes the George Washington wig distracts from his pasty white thighs.~ I got it! I got it! ~clicks on the zip~

-cyoung

*munches on peanuts as he waits*

Wow, that was really nice of the Doc to leave something to eat. Hey, there's a trail of them here. Think I'll follow them, to see where they lead...

Well, waited as long as I could, it's 3 am here in Germany. Gonna put meself to bed. Be back soon.

~takes a mighty two handed swing as the ball finally comes down. Sends ball screaming back at WebShaman.~ Hey, I broke two strings on that one.. cool. Not sure where to go with this shape. Inspiration has been elusive thus far.. decided to play with gradients.. mostly.

*Fingers tomahawk* My, my cyoung, your hair is lookin' good.
*Receives bits of broken strings in eyes, swings wildly in every direcrtion. Somehow makes contact with...something?* Hope that was the ball...

~Puts peanuts in peacepipe. Smokes.~ You touch my wig and I lose the speedo! Somebody take that tomohawk away from him. He's gonna put someones eye out with that thing. ~Smokes more.~

*sees after removing strings that, yes indeed, it was the ball, sending it burning with a lot of topspin over the net!* Nobody takes away my tomahawk without a fight!

OK sportsfans! Displace, some polar coords (luv those), channel work, a bit of stretching, melting and whatnot, some curve work, and that's about it. Oh, yeah, tone correction as well. Whups, forgot the lighting filter (luv that, too). Then a bit of level adjustment.

Oh my! ::taking a long toke of the peacepipe:: Lookit that curveball!!

Never underestimate the creative powers of pure laziness.

Well, can't hang a wig on my totem pole, but the speedos....are they in 'krets' size?
*awaits return*

Man, being in such different time zones sucks.

*sharpens tomahawk* Mebbie I'll get a little use out of this sucka yet. *eyes crowd*

~Catches ball in left hand. Pitches his best fastball over the net.~ You wanna play rough eh? Take that succa! Where's that pitching machine?

After much squinting, running around, getting feet tangled up in one another, Webshaman manages to return.

Aah WebShaman... you melted my space thingo. Where to go now.. hmm.
~Begins staring.~ Where's that pipe?

Ohhhh? And I thought that was an effect from the pipe...but I left part of it...uhhh,I think...what is in that pipe?

WebShaman's clumsy return baffles and confuses cyoung, as the ball bounces off the top of the net. Will cyoung recover? And will he notice that his shoestrings are tied together? The fans hold their breath (and turn blue, while waiting...)

WebShaman decides to help cyoung out, and with a precisely thrown boomerang tomahawk, severes the said shoe strings from one another. Unfortunately, the returning boomerang tomahawk makes a wide arc, lodging firmly in the head of the referee (or is that DocileBob? What's he doin' up there?). After hurridly sedating said referee with Shrooms from wakky's finest, the match can continue...

~Adjusts color balance on crowd, both of them.~ That's better.. still a little warm but close enough. ~Gives referee a special blue pill after dislodging boomerang.~ Heh, I'll just get rid of this thing. ~Chucks it toward that big popular match. Charges the net. Shoes fly off. Gently taps ball to the left side of the court.~

I was trying to get this somewhere toward a finished space kinda thing since it seems to me that's where it wants to go. Added a glow behind the circular object. Beat it up some more with some dodging and burning. I love my Wacom. Added some disruption to the background with displacement/ lighting/ level adjustment. That's about it. Oh yea.. don't have that font so didn't get too carried away with the text.

edit: Oh.. forgot to mention my failed attempt at making your second goo thing fit with where I was going WebShaman. Sorry bout that.

~Takes a nap in the now vacant bleachers.~
Take your time WebShaman. I'm pretty busy this weekend anyway.

Oh, that's good to hear, just ran into a period of extreme time stress. Will post tommorrow, if that's ok. Hope that isn't stretching the rules too far. Please be patient.
-WebShaman

In between the hectic, WebShaman manages to make contact with the ball. However, the ball bounces off the rim of the racket, and just barely wobbles over the net...
