As suggested I claim a new battle with Sean.

The winner will be the all-time-photoshop-guru between London and Düsseldorf.

We need 2 things:

1. JUDGES (please shout "here am I")

2. A TOPIC (or some more topics) ...

Go ahead.... make our day. ;)

Here I am! :monkey_dance:

Here i am! :hammer:

If I knew what, I'd sure like to judge... :blink:
Well, presumably art but more procise?
Anyways: "Here I am!" :bannana:

None of you can judge, sillies!

"Here am I" not "Hear I am" :ph34r:

@Icewolf - Check out our last scrape to get an idea of what we did.

Both of us are open for ideas on what we should do with this battle. Chances are like before it'll be a best out of three competition that includes differing topics and varying skills. Hopefully we'll all have some fun.

Good luck swiss :P

I'd judge,,,but I'd be biased cause London = teh awesomeness.
Anyways, can't wait to see whatcha guys make! :ok:

I can judge since I hate you both equally.

Kidding!

Here am I, i ´m not a friend of none of you.........

That sounds so negative...LOL

I dont usually come into this part of the forum, so I should be pretty equal in my decision if i judge. Soo, umm... here am i? :bleh:

Too many judges?

not yet! here i am :P

-silently sneaks near the otehr people in crowd so it looks like he was standing there all the time-

swiss, wouldn't it be better to have one overall judge that gives feedback/crits and sets up each heat and then the actual winner be decided by a poll?

... that overall judge could be me? :tomato:

Yeah! that's a nice idea! you always are a very extensive judge. :ok:

so all you judges discuss on a topic and let Quint decide when you are having a deuce ...


and Mr. Sean: I wish you good luck - you'll need it ..... :evil:

Yeah! that's a nice idea! you always are a very extensive judge. :ok:

so all you judges discuss on a topic and let Quint decide when you are having a deuce ...


and Mr. Sean: I wish you good luck - you'll need it ..... :evil: [/b][/quote]
Somebodys overconfident ego needs an axe through it. :Titan:

Good Luck Swishua :max:

So how does this competitiion work exactly?

Who'mever bores us to death without an entry first, wins.
Man I'm good. :angel:

I have a great idea to rule that competition! :w00t:

We should give them a theme and a size for the pic, they have to make it, then Sean will have to retouch the swiss pic, and viceversa, in a way we will choose (for example giving to the pic an horror atmosphere...).
When they finish, I'll express my critic about their pic and their retouching work and then the judges will vote to elect the winner!

Isn't it a great idea?

woooooooot! sounds cool! so come on and give us a d... topic!

You mean like PhotoShop tennis?

Sounds interesting...

Photoshop pingpong*

So have you announced who will be the judges?

apparently theres one judge: quintopere. Is that right?

So when is this competition gonna start? :whistle:

Here am I... to spectate. Photoshop pingpong sounds good. But asian people are overly good at it.

so again for all you out there:

Quintopotere is the Master Judge - do what he says :sneaky:

He is going to setup the border-rules (I know this is wrong english but u know what I mean). When this little Sean guy has made his notsogoodpic and I have created my masterpiece and after we each have destroyed the work of the other you are all invited to judge. Then we count all judging together and finally have a winner (apparently someone from the Continent :whistle: )

sounds cool, aye?

aye aye capn

Ok, so we all agree :D

To resume, the judges currently are Stebby, Icewolf, moogle, Blood-Pigggy, little_fish, #BlakhOle#, Himmler, _r.u.s.s. and obviously me.
We have to decide a theme (swiss and Sean shouldn't influence this discussion!) and the competition will start!
I've randomly opened a dictionary... and those suggestions for a theme came out:
- rose
- delight
- wind
- spice
- noon
- powder
- scum
- Monkey Island (well, this isn't on the dictionary, but after reading scum, it came to my mind...)

My friends judges do you like one of those? Or do you have better suggestions?

Can I vote for one? Although I'm no judge.

I'm sorry, but you can't!
I want to be extremly precise for this challenge, and the rule say that the judges are the only which can choose the theme. (well, you could become a judge if you want...)

Ok... :( But I don't want to judge.

from quintopotere's i like the "wind" theme

btw i have a sugegstion. what if they drawn their own caricature (or other[,] popular person)?

That could be cool, but i think that could be even unfair if one of them is poor in hand drawing... and I think that could be terrible for us if they are both poor in hand drawing... :bleh:

... and that one would be me .... :tai:

Siwss is nothing without his wubby dubby camera ;)

Ohhh does that mean all this is done in paint or photoshop or something? I thought they drew whatever we shoved in their faces and scanned it. Now i come to think of it it would be unfair if they didnt have scanners... :whistle:

Sure! It could be another good reason... but, come on, stay on topic!
We must decide a theme!

Maybe abstract things?
Modern art can be fun... :D :tomato:

To me the theme i like to see they work is Wind.

stupit me ...
:crazy:

Erm... mr. swiss! You are breaking a rule... :tai:

Silly Swiss :bleh: I also reckon wind would be a great one, coz you can't really draw wind, as such. And you could use your imagination and think up an completely original way of expressing wind. Ill look forward to it. :ok:

Can't take a pic of wind either, bwhahaha ;)

You can, kinda. I'm not gonna say how though.

It seems that no one will add something to this discussion about the theme... so I declare that "wind" is the official theme of this challenge! :Brain:

Sean and swiss will have to make a pic about the wind: the "real" wind or also a metaphoric wind (but don't go too far with the imagination! The connection to the wind have to be clear enough!).
I was thinking to give you time to make the pic until May the 30... but I don't know if you're too busy in the real life or you have problems: if it's so tell me!
Another rule is that the pic must be 800x600 pixels, orizontal or vertical is the same. That's to avoid handicaps in the next step of retouching.

So, here we are! The Swiss Versus Sean Challenge has started!

And they're off :boxing: :ph34r:

We are?

:ph34r:

Lucky, I stopped by too check up on the all of ya :P

Yes you are sean. GET DRAWING :D

Hehe, I don't draw! :bleh: :tomato:

Hehe, I don't draw! :bleh: :tomato: [/b][/quote]
Of course not this is a photo contest.... :tomato:

How long do they get? im getting goosepimples... :D

Heyas little Londonfellowwhowasformerlycalledmagic,

whasssup `?

I am currently relaxing coz I just sent my pic to the judge ... :bleh:

(please make a very very BAD pic so that my crap can win LOL)

I am really looking forward to your piece. Wind is probably one of the hardest topics one can get ....

:cheers:



(PS = just to make it clear for everyone probably new here -> I like Sean - he's a tough guy and all this bantering is just for fun ... =)

edit:
<--- OMFG this is my 666th post ... I am doomed .....

edit2: well it's my 1334th post but the 666th counting post ...

edit3: three post further I will have it 1337 (leet) ... yay :Brain:

*teh printscreen'd!*

DO i get to see the pic? :w00t: or just quintopetere... :(

Me too....? :unsure:

I think you'll have to wait some days more to see the swiss' entry (at least if he doesn't send it to you...), cause he decided to not show his work before Sean... that's his strategy! However, I have his pic and I'll guarantee that he'll not change it ;)

but now you can have conspiracy pact with Sean :sneaky:

:omg: That could be really a good idea!

I just wonder how much I could gain from such conspiracy :sneaky:

power! endless power! *muhahahahahhaa*

oh wait, you talk about something that is bad for me, right?

Do NOT DO IT! power is eeeevvvvvilllll!!! ;) LOL



For all you others: I am NOT goin' to show anyone anything ... well maybe I show it to the people I trust (and I fear those are few ....)

Patience, children!

:cheers:

Show me or I'll hit you on the head with my LondonStick.

Am *dirty word* nakard at the moment, just broke up from School for a week so I'll start onm my piece sometime soon. If you can't show me it, at least answer me one question. Is it a photo manip as is usual?

Wind, my "behind Crack" idea may be too offensive.... *sniggers*

Any objections to an extension, not very artsy fartsy at the moment.

I'll probably have something by Friday, sorry for the delay.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sean @ May 28 2006, 09:33 PM) [snapback]232844[/snapback]</div>Well, today I'm in a good mood, so I can agree in giving you some days more... I think that swiss could agree too...

Oy a-greee ... noh proppplehm.

to answer seans question: NO, it's NOT a PHOTOGRAPH this time ...

I left my usual realm to make up something ... errmmm .... diefferent ... and when you see it you will crumble down in pieces of dust *muuuhahahahahahahawhahahah* ;)

don't panic - this time my thingy really sucks ... ;)

*meep* off time, you *dirty word* wanker.

*clears throat*

Hello gentlemen, really am sorry for the delay. Been playing a bloody lot of Halo2 recently. I'll definatly get something finished soon. Glad you're trying new things Swiss, only way to improve!

*casts spell "emo" on Swiss*
*Swiss' ego is reduced by 50*
;)
Can't wait to see what you bolth come up with :)

taking a while arent they... someone confiscate that xbox!

I'we no good news from Sean today :unsure:

Maybe we've chosen the wrong days to make that challenge...

Aye, I am... ah well.

Edit: No News?

*meep* off time, you *dirty word* wanker.

*clears throat*

That doesn't count? :P

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sean @ Jun 5 2006, 03:44 PM) [snapback]234483[/snapback]</div>Ah!
... and so? What are you doing?

Not much :bleh:

Anyway, even if I was working on it already.. I couldn't tell you!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sean @ Jun 5 2006, 03:46 PM) [snapback]234485[/snapback]</div> :hammer: please, show some respect to the judge...




... :bleh:

You know I love you really, to prove it I'll give you a hint.

Blur.

This contest it´s becaming the longest contest in the history of Abandonia.

i must confess that I am getting a bit impacient ....

comeonwithyourblurrymasterthingamabob

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(swiss @ Jun 10 2006, 07:58 AM) [snapback]235557[/snapback]</div>
Me too :titan:

yeah, wheres the goods? how long does it take you to draw a picture? i reckon if you dont come up with something in a week its a forfeit.

and then we rename the topic to : "swiss alone against noone competition without a competetor" ... ;) or sumthin' ...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(swiss @ Jun 11 2006, 05:35 PM) [snapback]235816[/snapback]</div>hmmm catchy :) just rolls off the tongue...

Seeing as the week is up, I suppouse it's a forefit.

I'm not best pleased, art should never be rushed.

However, if you're too impatient to wait then so be it.

I forefit.

Maybe, your choice.

I've got about 4-8 hours of maths coursework I have to do at the moment. Busy, but not unwilling to enter.

Hello Gentlemen,

I'm slightly less stressed at the moment, I had a lot of work to do at the time of posting. I presume swiss's piece has not been displayed. I would not want it to go to waste. I am willing, if time permits to once again participate.

Love you all :tomato:

- SeanI3 B0Y

heyas young felllla ... take your time ... make it a good one ...

good luck! ;)

Well, I was trying to take my time but understandably a few people got impatient which put me off for a little while. I know my work is absouletly awe-inspireing and just looking at it makes you all warm and fuzzy inside, so in order to prevent any potential dissappointment I'll only start when I feel confident I will have time time to make something I take pride in.

Young Fella, huh? :titan: :bleh: :tomato:

Oh and just to make sure you're all aware, that's not to be taken seriouslly!

Some people don't quite get my humour....they're the lucky ones.

are you saying your attempts to produce something acceptable have failed :tomato:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Himmler @ Jul 5 2006, 10:15 PM) [snapback]241731[/snapback]</div>I'm not sayin'... All I'm sayin' is... :whistling:

No, I'm saying I haven't started on something because I haven't had time. I require at least half hour closer to an hour or two to make something decent. I have to be sure I'm in a artistic mood or it can mean a whole two hours wasted. :)

well you could at least start something to get you go :D artistic moods come only by exercise ;)

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sean @ Jul 6 2006, 12:00 AM) [snapback]241761[/snapback]</div>Wow, I'm impressed seeing grammar I suspected never to see again being out of school! :ok:

:kosta: for eloquence.

It should be clear that this contest turned in a no-time-and-deadly-competition... :omg2:

I'm the only who have seen swiss' pic, maybe could be right to give him the possibility (if he want to) to change/improve it, taking all the time he need ;)

Or declare swiss winner, because lack of competicion? :ph34r:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Quintopotere @ Jul 6 2006, 06:00 PM) [snapback]241913[/snapback]</div>Yay a possibility to improve something that it unimprovably fantastic ?! :blink: :bleh:

Unfortunately I do not have much time at the moment ... so somehow I am alright with fellow Sean to be quite busy aswell ...

Take ya time young London lad. ^_^

Nahh ... we do not want it to end that easy, do we?

as long as he wants to get very good results i guess it's ok to wait a little longer ;)

Thanks :)

You know what it is like:
Students and retired people never have time. :tomato: :D

Who knows what the record is for the longest running art competition? If there is this probably doesnt even scratch it, but we could try... :hypocrite:

You really want to see something from me, don't you?

I won't starve you for much longer, patience is something I fear you are running low on.

low patience???

it's been almost three month now ... :P

anyway - show us something nice! my attempt in beating you is still unreleased! :)

:ph34r:
*ninja poof!*

Could I perhaps make something for fun? o0 To keep us entertained?

Edit: Damn it, I dun wanna post :( My post count is awesome, LOL.

go ahead ...i guess

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(moogle @ Aug 3 2006, 04:45 AM) [snapback]246514[/snapback]</div>Woha... you scared me too much, appearing from that smoke cloud...

Well, entertainmet is always welcome! :D

yesss .. make this "interlude"-type o' thingy Monty Python makes ...

"and now to something completely different"

oh and I remember how hard it was to make my 667th post ... don't think tooo much about it. life continues anyways ... ;)

I also made something to entertain all you during the waiting :whistling:
