Agree totally. Very Cool - I looked over that one for a while WC.

OK... here's my volley...

MrBenn, unless I'm mistaken, you still have to make a return off the pic that static posted...

Uless your use of "fail" and the rendered flare IS your return....

it looks like your theme came a lot more from what Mibi made than what the others followed his with.
Nice pic, I just don't really see how it relates to statics pic.

Yep, the word FAIL and the flare are both inspired from static.. I've gone for a 'woodcut'-type them, inspired by the wooden background too.

The Hail/Fail are on 'magic-8-balls', inspired by gimil and his pool-table theme.

I figured that as mine was the last in the round, I'd tie together all the images used previously...

[edited to put the image on this page]

Ugh. Why is it always my turn on the worst days...

I'll be a little while.

quite simple, in the statics pic, lack throws dice in a table-tennis game, and therefore it's a 'phail' while in the reaction, two gods/mythical creatures or whatever (there names are writen in the picture but i'm not gunna look em up now) anyways the one haveing a dice with only 6's and the other one having dice with only 1's. you get the picture? i think it's pretty clear that the pictures do relate.

it's been 3 days since tom replaced lone.prophet after his forfeit.
is tom forfeiting too?

i don't want to be an ass about this, i can understand not obeying rules like using the previous theme or using the CC star or the right image size as long as the image is presented in time.
we should have been in round 4 by now and we didn't even finish round 2

Thanks Zimmah.

The gods are Zeus and Atlas... it's a representation of the 'Battle of the Titans' - and I'm glad you picked up on the dice

As I said previously:

Where in the rules does it say I can't incorporate earlier ideas?

The background is statics - you can just see the wooden boards as a texture in the background, and the border is a bastardised version of his opening volley in round 1.

In my paper draft, I had wca's fireworks on the 'Hail' side, and flames and fire on the 'Fail' side. There were originally going to be more winners/losers on each side, and I had some really nice turtle base-images, but they didn't look right. I ended up draining most of the colour completely to match the colour-scheme in Vace Cooper and wca's volleys in the other group.

Sorry guys. I need to put something up later tonight. The past 2 weeks at work have been murder. But I'll definately have something up tonight.

Thanks.

Its going good, just a bit slow with a few players not showing up.

sorry DiM
as you know as lone dropped out i wasnt meant to be serving until about tomorrow (the weekend) which suited me fine and i was happy with that as ive been so so busy this week; but since lone dropped out its really messed up my schedules.

i hope to make something tonight - ive been really busy with other work these past few days.

^^ i am sure it wont be a problem, and i cant do anything untill sunday evening cause i am away but ill make one then asap

boooo boooo

yaya life is a bitch and full of other stuff

*waits for snapdoodle*

I've got my 3rd pic ready, so as soon as snap posts, I'll put up my pic and then it'll be pancake's turn after me in round 3.

Lol I just got home from work. Give me a minute. I also don't see why he can't post his serve before mine lands either if we're looking to speed things up. I wouldn't mind that because then I might get to work on something on the weekend instead of the weekday.

As long as Mibi is ok with that, I'll post it in about 20-30 minutes.
I'll leave a note at the bottom saying that you still have to put your image up to end round 2, and we are just putting up my pic to speed things up a bit. Then there won't be any pressure on you.
Just try not to get backed up and have 2 pictures to turn in at once. That would get a bit difficult.

sure. keep it moving

Ok guys, here is my serve for Round 3.
Snapdoodle still needs to post his final image for round 2, but Mibi says I can post this to get the game moving along a bit faster. i figured this pic would be a good one to start the round, cause it has lots of different things in it that could be used for the next pics.



Here's the PSD. 9M file size. 2x resolution (1200x800):
http://senduit.com/4d243c
-just a note, the PSD originally had probably double or triple the amount of layers in that file. I merged a lot of them together to make the file smaller.
enjoy!

you guys may as well just skip me - whenever i think i have time something just keeps coming up
skip me - it wold take me longer to think up an idea, i would have been fine starting the serve today as planned, but not due today (well days ago)
so i can give areturn because that will only take about 5mins, but i dont have time to think up a serve

Star Jones bracket takes the lead into round 3!
