thanks guys, I’m glad you liked it. I wasnt sure if i could have improved more, but instead just decided it was done. I like it too, but i feel like the focus of it isnt very clear. Maybe if the text were easier to read? What do you all think?
I DIDNT LIKE IT!!! I JUST LIKE IT!!! MWAHAHAH (with evil laugh) j/j. no problem man. its time to change things up in this battle.
:h: go for it :bu::afro:

its li0n’s turn. where is he?
I’m here! Work has been unreal. I’ll have it done by tonight! 
alright. will be waiting to see it.
I’m sorry! gimme like 12 more hours! Ill have it done first thing asap. I’m going into work late so that I can finish it. Its almost done. Sorry Kirupians!
s’all good s’all good, no worries, man. Dont get in trouble at work for it, hehe.
Yep, I’m a wierd one! Any improvement? or no. NO. ok.
hmm…very interseting. it is something diffferent though.
Good Start li0n!
Just something I noticed, and that bothered me, is when you marquee’d out those clouds? Well a great technique, that I use all the time, is to use blending gradients.
For example :
Press x then d, to set your black to white colors.
Click on the layer of the clouds, and create a layer mask.
Now click on the gradient tool, and uptop, select it to be, Foreground to Background.
This is where the time comes when you do what you think seems right, select an appropriate gradient style, and along the edges of the clouds, great a gradient, so the outcome seems to be it’s slitly disapeering.
Another thing you could do, would be, take the eraser tool, on the main layer, set the opacity to like 4 or 5%. And with a larger eraser, spend some time making the cloud edges look soft.
Don’t Flamm me for helping please
Good Luck!
sweet, man. Definitely wierd, i like it. Id agree with grinch that using gradients would help it though, just to help blend the images in the sky better. what did you use from mine, i cant tell?
OOOPS! I never saved before I uploaded! Check it out again. I forgot about the additions I had made. I’ve never really known how to use masks grinch. Thanks for the tip. I’m giving them a shot now. Remember this is my first time! I will always remember it 
So any tips are most appreciated. Anything to make this experience better! Moncrey, thanks for the compliment. Your kids are in the clouds next to the mushroom cloud. I got the idea from the movie THEM! anyone seen it? It’s mad old. A black and whiter. Excited for next round!
I love this battle stuff
Cheers!
Anytime li0n!

sorry for the delay, like the rest of you i am real busy with work. Li0n your getting better nice job that last serve was a hard one to work with.
that looks realy good. ill get on it when i have time. unfortunately, today is sunday here, 9:57 AM, and i have to go to church, and right after church, im gonna play tennis.
Tennis is fun, i havent played in a while… I even bought tennis rackets last year so I should play too, at some point. Maybe youll get suddenly inspired to make an image of you playing tennis against a giant ant :D! orrrr maybe not, hehe. Whatever it is, Ill definitely be looking forward to it.
ill try to get something done soon. and ill give that a try to get a tennis ball hitting that dmn ant.
crazy i got the usuall email stating that silent.gear left a message and it’s different that your actual message.
message in mail:
eheh…kool, i play tennis as well, started this week tuesday.
its been fun. gonna buy my another racquet (thats how its spelled not racket).
Did you change it or something?
ya…but, it was getting too cliche sayin i play tennis one after another post. so i changed it.
