Hornet Versus...?

Hornet · 03-09-2004

I've never attempted a battle before, but the board looked so empty I had to do something to fill it up! Plus, Me = bored. So why not.

I only have Photoshop 7, and I'd prefer abstracts, as I don't have a graphics tablet or anything of that ilk. If anyone wants a friendly match, drop a post.

Rules (cadged from Yuneek's post):

Not fussed as to the size - whatever whoever wants.
Photoshop Only
No stocks
3 rounds
No themes

Fire away!

i will rise to this challenge, i will make an entry tomorrow, completely in photoshop no 3d allowed.

Hornet · 03-10-2004

Sorted.

My abstracts are rather unique in that I rarely put those strange lines everywhere, unless I blur the hell out of the background first. I find that they tend to distract the veiwer from the abstract itself.

What version of Photoshop do you have?

ConceptualMind · 03-10-2004

Vector lines are supposed to enhance the piece. If you look at the Organitech post in 2D/3D Artwork you'll see what I mean. Look at r4z0r's work.

Heh, I 'might' throw something in here for fun. But I won't be in the competition per say.

Hornet · 03-11-2004

They can be good if used properly, but most artwork I've seen that uses them is slaughtered by them. They're best with 3D works, as Razor demonstrates so effectively. I do use them sometimes, but I do so in moderation.

Anyway, where's 5-0 got to with his entry?

Milkdrop · 03-11-2004

Heres my entry, now filters have been used, all air brushing. It is a brand awareness card. Well hope you like took about fifeteen minutes of pure airbrushing
brand awareness

Not bad 5-0, but not your best, I like your 3d more then just photoshop work

ConceptualMind · 03-11-2004

It's alright Marc. I have to agree with Digital there.

Hornet · 03-11-2004

A brand awareness card, no less. I rather like it! I'm useless at airbrushing (I only have a mouse, which doesn't help), but I've never really tried to improve on it for that exact reason.

I'll rattle something up over the weekend, although hosting it somewhere may be an issue, depending on the size. I'll try and do something similar for Garjen, which is a website I'm redeveloping.

You can attach the image to get the hosting, the forums will host it..

As for airbrushing, I am going to hopefully get a nice wacom tablet this eve.. I hope

Milkdrop · 03-12-2004

yeah i know it aint great at all. I've got to use 3d in my work for it to be any good.

Evdawg · 03-13-2004

thumbs-up 5-0. Now let's see what hornet can do...

Milkdrop · 03-14-2004

Don't write me off that quickly - I don't have Internet access over the weekend. My entry is attatched - not as good as I'd hoped, but that's the trouble with abstracts.

Something a friend asked me yesterday: what actually defines abstract? For example, I would say that this (I chose it at random) was abstract, although my friend argued that it wasn't. Some other opinions please?

Evdawg · 03-15-2004

Good job with yours hornet, the colours are nice and lush.

But i'll have to disagree with you about L I T H, i don't think it's abstract.
