Looks like Soupy has a pretty good idea up his sleeve, I'd watch your back Cowbell.

Soupy's looks the too similar to his last sig with the tiger.

All I did was use a similar lighting effect.

(This image looks more like what he used for his render.)
I hate to be a shi* stirrer; you guys be the judge. Maybe I'm wrong; the rules said to use this image.

I would have liked Soupy's better, but it seems a little empty to the left.
Post by: w2kj on February 03, 2006, 07:53:00 AM
I like both of them.....hmmmm....They're so different. That's what is so cool about art, in general. Everybody has a different perspective. CowBell's is great...no doubt. CB; dude; you're almost legendary in my book....what more can I say.
But on the other hand; I really like the tight, clear, sharp look of the render in Soupy's.
Decisions.....decisions..... I gotta go with....with....*aarrrggh!!* I hate this!!! 
Ok...ok......Soupy. That's my final answer.
Post by: throwingks on February 03, 2006, 08:33:00 AM
I don't mind soupys empty space at all, in fact I kind of like it. The selling point for me was Cowbells grain. More "retro" feel. Good work both of you.

QUOTE(metaldevil @ Feb 3 2006, 10:41 AM)
I already voted, but the reason I chose soupy's was because Silver Surfer is surfing through space just as he does in the comics. soupy also gave SS a sense of motion and speed. The color choice is a little bland, but it's obvious he tried to clean it up some. Cowbell's is too grainy and really doesn't have much staying power. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but it almost seems to me that Cowbell took a dive for this contest.
I don't think he took a dive.

Cowbell, they both suck IMO, soupy kinda cheated becasue cow didn't know what to do with the pic making them both shitty
Me and CowBell both agreed on the pic before the contest. And I would like to see you do any better...
Post by: sypha on February 03, 2006, 04:24:00 PM
I like the idea of keeping these going though. Call someone out and put them to the test.

soupy looks really clean and nice great quality but i also like that comic book feel to cowbells. great job to both of you

i also like the idea of these 1v1 battles. so, i would like to challenge nf. i havnt talked to him yet, but i think soupy should pick the theme.

I think it should be a black and white contest. No colours.
EDIT: Watching these 2 battle would be quite interesting actually, I can't wait to see this.

I think if there are going to be anymore one on one face offs, the image should be picked by a neutral party.

I would assume it simply has to follow X-S rules, so no, but Soupy is your contest leader.

ill challenge you cattykid, we will let someone else pick the theme, whoever calls it out first.
EDIT: i vote soupy
I take it (although it wasn't you I had in mind). I was going to challenge Beastiekid since he started about 3 days after I did.
And I'm just wondering, how long have you been PSing for speed_racer, I think I'm about 3 weeks.
EDIT:
BTW, can anyone help me with something real quick? Check THIS LINK.. Using the diamond gradient tool, as instructed, I can only get squares, no curved lines. It's not only for this tut, either, it's quite a few. Can anyone help?

i haven't used photoshop in a while, so im a little rusty. this is just what i need to try and get back into it.
Sounds good.
As soon as the theme is selected, we shall as those young thundercats say, "get it on."
I will be at VillaNova all day tomorrow on a tour for my brother, so don't expect anything too soon. No later than Sunday evening, my sig should be up if the topic is picked before I leave in 6 hours (yeah, 7am EST) soon as I can think about it tomorrow.
Oh, I can't sleep at night and can't stay awake during so much of the day, weird. I'm like a vampire. Even after a long day of getting up at six, lifting for an hour and a half, watching a basketball game, and doing homework, I can only get to sleep around 12:45-1:00.
For now, bed, for the sleep which will not come...

I got it. I didn't have my gradient editor set correctly, fading to transparent instead of white. Thanks.
