smokenmirrors VS ChaoticKnight, -- JUDGED

**smokenmirrors** · February 29th, 2008, 01:34 AM

ChaoticKnight- playa 1
smokenmirrors- defends as playa dos

deadline- (loosely) saturday evening midnight.

topic 8

player 1 (attacker): the failing light of battle
A- you battle fatigue, your nuckels are raw and bloodied, but the day is yours.
B- slumping in the cold the frost takes hold, your muscles tighten as the chill seeps deep into your flesh.

player 2 (defender) : making camp
A - As the amber red sun sinks through the clouds you and your bretheren have made camp atop the battle summit.
B - you awaken on a dead battlefield, you must have been knocked out cold or stunned for the majority of the carnage, all you can hear now are the moans of the half dead. you stand up slowly, alive but shamed.

Bed time.

to any inquiring minds peering in on this duel, ChaoticKnight and myself have pushed our deadline to Sunday evening. Soooooooooooooo

just a WIP, although if I relapse into my slacking ways, this could be the final...

BUT, I think ill be able to put some more finesse to it. Im still super slow when it comes to rendering, mo practice needed fosho.

**ChaoticKnight** · March 2nd, 2008, 04:30 PM

Renderings my favorite part! I might end up posting a WIP too >.< Ive put a grand total of 2 hours in it on my ds, and its in photoshop now.

**ChaoticKnight** · March 2nd, 2008, 07:54 PM

Done.

**LORD M** · March 2nd, 2008, 08:00 PM

Yikes, that's a lot of ketchup there, Chaotic.

Jk, great piece!

**smokenmirrors** · March 2nd, 2008, 09:56 PM

NICE piece CK! Im loving the sword almost floating in gore... awesome! Heres my piece... didnt quite feel like jumping in color on this one, but I think I can still rock it grayscale!

**ChaoticKnight** · March 2nd, 2008, 10:24 PM

Nice pic! Change the thread to "rdy for judging" when u get a chance!

**ChaoticKnight** · March 4th, 2008, 03:28 PM

Bump: Can we get this Judgified?

**smokenmirrors** · March 7th, 2008, 10:43 AM

daayuuuum! looks like these judges must be waiting till the weekend.... hmmm......

**cupidsart** · March 7th, 2008, 01:12 PM

Wow, REALLY nice work you two! I think the Judges though will love this battle. I get really antsy waiting on them sometimes (I've still got two battles I'm waiting on), but even though the wait isn't fun. I think it makes it a little more worth it when it finally comes down to it.

**chaosrocks** · March 7th, 2008, 02:16 PM

Im sorry peoples this one is judged, by 2 judges and waitng on the third
Im afraid it did have to wait till the weekend.
thanksyou fo ryour patience

crx

**ChaoticKnight** · March 7th, 2008, 05:07 PM

Np Chaos we'll be patient!

**Lininger** · March 7th, 2008, 06:25 PM

i love your style smoke and mirrors! very nice pieces here

**alti** · March 8th, 2008, 11:10 PM

ChaoticKnight -- winner

2 votes chaoticknight

a more solid and less confused image but the winning thing was the sword submerged in the blood. good imagery.

**ChaoticKnight** · March 8th, 2008, 11:15 PM

Thanks alti!
Good round Smokenmirrors!! Maybe if we duel again, we'll have a greyscale only joust? That'd be quite a sight.

**Lininger** · March 8th, 2008, 11:18 PM

I'de just thought i'de put my opinion in, i dont know if anyone minds but im going to have to disagree with alti here. Smokenmirrors i beleive should be the winning piece it actually works very well in black n white. and the composition is pretty appealing not to mention far more dynamic than choaticnight's. The detail is great. I think the proportions are working better for smokenmirrors too, Both pieces are pretty cool but i think the outcome was a little unfair, smokenmirrors i thought was a for sure win. :/

**alti** · March 8th, 2008, 11:53 PM

its all cool, nothings unfair as i'm not the only judge, i was the swing vote on the 2 images, both had votes

but all critisism is welcome and appreciated. but nothing is unfair.

**Lininger** · March 9th, 2008, 12:17 AM

lol life is unfair, thats just how it goes sometimes, no worries and gj with the judging it can be difficult i know. I love the ART!

**smokenmirrors** · March 9th, 2008, 10:10 AM

shyste! another head lopped off....

Lininger, thanks for the support!

ChaoticKnight a tip of my decapitated cap to you.

guess I got to jump into color on these things if Im going to get any heads here... hmm......
