is this thing on?

Yeah sure it is!
I didn't fall asleep but as I said I can only work at work... and... funnily enough I'm quite busy these days but I'll use my lunch breaks to do something! But you might be a bit patient...

sure no problem.
just wanted to ask.
take your time, i will take mine too.

Alright GRUMBLE, I've had a go at last!
I hope you won't find this too ugly, I've never played PSPong and am not such a good painter at all... I am sorry I you're disappointed! You'll notice I have changed the image size... Hope it's alright for you!
Haven't been able to open you .rar file...

Here it is then...



Click here for the big one...

If you want the psd, I'll have to send it to you via e-mail, if it's alright...

Cheers

I think it's fine, I've uploaded it by ftp... Tell me if anything's wrong!

Cheers

The link to the "big" image you provided kimson, leads to the same sized image doncha know Still, looking good from what I can see so far.
Anyone mind if I have a peek at the psd?

sure Tao,
i will post a small webpage with all the files this week. probably on thursday when also my reply is coming.

alrighty, here is some funky graffiti.



you will find the psd as well as older files here on this webpage:

Very nice GRUMBLE! I'll have a go next week, as I don't have a computer at home.

Cheers

Alright GRUMBLE! Very sorry for making you wait that long! Here's my serve, hope you'll like it...

kimson, very cool!
that gives ma a lot of opportunities.

sure you can use the ftp, just log on anynoymously to wickedidodai.com

Hum... Sorry, I'm not very bright about this kind of things.. Could you please tell me how I'm supposed to do? Sorry about that...

certainly
use your ftp program to connect to wickedidodai.com

most ftp programs already have a setting for anonymous login.
if not, then use "anonymous" for your username and any emailadress for password.

of course you could also try emailing it to me: grumble AT embege DOT com

hmm, how do you do that?

"once i have fought, and now i am dead, but do not worry, for you shall also be deceased"

GRUMBLE, I'm sorry I haven't got a ftp programme and I don't think I can download & use one at work. The way you've told me do do it last time was very handy, if you don't mind... Sorry I'm a bit of a pain in the @'se
Cheers

actually the last time it was the very same way.
hmmm, maybe it was the ftp link.

edit: removing url for security

(Edited by GRUMBLE on 05-10-2005 14:31)

Alright it should be ok... Please let me know if not!

Cheers
kimson

ok i got it!

I'm liking this guys. The second serve especially. I'm sad though that the big version isn't really big. Or worse, it isn't really big, else I would use it as a wall paper.

Shine and shine. :: [old cell]

Wow cheers Bmud that's nice! I'll try and sort this out tomorrow

Ok so here's the big one for the second serve
Sorry I couldn't edit the other post, as it was too old...

/*comment added*/

... and this is the original size, not big enough for a wallpaper I'm afraid

(Edited by kimson on 05-12-2005 14:19)

Nice work, guys. All of the pics look cool though I'm really liking that last serve (#4?) of the butterfly.

Good stuff right from #1.

Amerasu |

thank you Bmud & Amerasu!

here is my next return:



click for big



hehe.
now the psd itself is 19MB (15 if i save it in CS2 format).
i'll probably shrink it down a little and remove some unneccessary stuff, unless of course, you want it in high-res, kimson?

wow very nice GRUMBLE! So we're going back outside, aren't we? That's great, I like it.
Hmm.. I think it's better if you can shrink it down a bit. Are you going to make it available at the same place than before?

yepp.
it's here again: http://www.embege.com/pong/kimson/

i saved it in the CS format, hope you can open it. if not let me know.

a dupe. sorry.

(Edited by GRUMBLE on 05-23-2005 13:38)

no problem to open it. Thanks!

Alright, I didn't take long to serve back this time! Sorry I haven't been very innovative, and my technic is a bit... weird... But nerver mind, hope you'll like it!


Clicky

P.S This time my work file is big enough to make a wallpaper

wow! now that was fast!

it's like looking through a glass sphere! nice one! what technique did you use for painting?
and again, really very fast! i might take bit longer again for the next reply!
thanks.

Just thought I'd drop by and say hi. I've been watching this match for some time now, and you guys are doing a great job. I love the direction that this is taking. That's some really nice art.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments!

GRUMBLE: I've uploaded two file, because you'll notice I've had to cheat a bit to fit the scene through the window... And I didn't know which one I prefered, so I give you both of them. Let me know if you got them.

As for my "technic", it's not that interesting... I started in setting the general shapes in black and white (got some tree pictures, made them negative, then treshold), then tainted them, then a lot of brush with the 1 px round shape, some gaussian blur and noise and a lot of eraser. That's about it!

suho, thanks!
kimson, ok, i got them both!
thanks!

all the pics are now archived at http://www.embege.com/pong/kimson/ as well.
for those who are interested, you will also find the psds there, though for the sake of bandwith abuse they are not directly linked. their filenames are however the same as the image names, but ending in ".psd". so you should be able to grab them manually.

Nice work chaps, love the image development. Thanks for putting all the serves up G.

Thank master Tao! Getting a compliment from you about Photoshop work is something!
