Markusthebarbarian vs Smokenmirrors

Attacker : Markusthebarbarian
Defender : Smokenmirrors

deadline thursday 1am GMT +2


topic 6

player 1 (attacker):tears through the battlefield with a battle axe
A- you cleave your oponent in 2 clean halves, your savage face roaring in bloodlust
B- you swing your massive axe through the air over your head, your oponent turns to run away

player 2 (defender) :you have a realisation
A - your aura changes , you realise the way of the world, you are enlightened on the battlefield and no harm can possibly befall you.
B - you decide to fight fire with fire, your eyes tighten, your skin becomes like stone, you rush at your oponent like the wind.

Well I like the movement man, I hope you're working more on it.
I've choosen to do
B- you swing your massive axe through the air over your head, your oponent turns to run away.
(We don't see you in the picture, because you already fled :D)

Smokenmirrors 1

Smoke--I like the graphic quality and the composition the varying styles with in the render are rather distracting though

Markus the barbarian--Your composition is rather unbalanced and although your render is sweet, the foreshortening of your characters left arm is rather problematic

>smoken's piece is too choatic on the eyes, the clashing rendering styles, clashing saturations and lack of controlling the viewers focus makes the hurts the piece. I would have like to have seen markus' scene set up better to show the fleeing, but it's rendered well enough to take the prize

[smokenmirrors]

well done Markus,

you got me fair and square! looks like after I get my head sewn back on I got to step up my game! Good duel! we'll see about the collaboration action later, but for now I have to get my watch tower piece underway....

[Mark Tarrisse]

Thanks man :) and by the way you remind me that I must work on my watcher :) it was fun !
