I really loved your concept with LastFM, man. Its like DMN said, it was a take on surfing a sound wave that I never even thought of. And again, like I told Rocky, I'm always down man. One of you guys can come up with some rules or a deadline or something and lets get it rolling. EDIT: Uh, will we need to start a new topic for a new battle or just keep in this one? I'm unsure as to how we should do this.

LOL, Too confusing for me, so I'll ask-- Rocky, are you wanting a new battle or to re-enter this one?

I am not sure if this is in the right section or not, but regardless: http://psd-dreams.de/index.php should be what you're looking for.

Understandable man, hope your back's feeling ok. See if you can get something posted up, and if not, there's always next time for sure.

Thank you Kirkland for your comments. What do you suggest for the Batista one specifically? Any certain areas?

Eh lets give him another twelve hours. I've been excited to see some competition. ...and....how about just til the end of the day. If nothing's shown up after 12:00, I guess we can call it a contest. Also, if it matters, I apologize for the double post?

I am very fond of the grunge work in the pieces, Kirkland. The varying shades of green and the grunge brushes/techniques you used look nice. I'm not PERSONALLY huge on the text's stroke in any of the pieces but it's grungy and the green fits the theme so it's fine aesthetically. I like the screens of Val and Madison, but the others seem a bit too jammed full, particularly the first one. Speaking of the first one, I'm not big on how the renders of Rey, Punk, and Orton seem very...randomly placed, for lack of a better word. I think that just featuring Raven would have been sufficient, but to each his own. Overall, I very much like the resounding GRUNGE feeling I get from the skin (I'm guessing it's an EWR skin.) and it's pretty solid work. Nice job.

Eh lets give him another twelve hours. I've been excited to see some competition.

Thank you DMN, I appreciate it. The theme was pretty challenging, I like that. I guess nufan's got 27 minutes of CST remaining to post, that is unless he PM'ed to either you or Norro.

Do you need some more time, man?

Ahhh, I understand. Thank you Norro, Rocky, and Sean for the constructive criticism. I guess in my sweep over checkI missed the tail end of the fade. Technical error, I think. :/ Anyway, I am pretty excited to see what FnG and nufan can come up with.

LOL. Man, I'll be honest, I realized my name wasn't anywhere on the entry and didn't know if that was expected around here or not, so I wanted it to be moderately translucent.

Sure man, can do. And there you have it. Let the discussion commence, I suppose.

Alright, mine has been turned in to DMN. Looking forward to seeing you guys' results...I found this to be a very challenging but rewarding topic.

Alright, it's on. DMN and Norro will judge as a unit, and Saturday will be the deadline. Let's say we will have our wallpapers PMed to DMN on Saturday. DMN's above listed rules will be the official rules and sizes. Myself, FnG, and nufan are the competitors. Good luck fellas.

Well I'm pretty content with that challenging concept, DMN. I've got Norro judging already but I don't mind having multiple judges by any means. The more the merrier, yeah?

I'm content with Saturday, bro. Nufan? Any objections?

Sounds good to me man! (I pilfered through your flickr and liked your work.) Is Friday good with you for a deadline? Anyone else want in on this? And can anyone suggest any topics?

I'd like to have a graphics battle, so consider this an open challenge to anyone in the GFX Forums! I've spoken to Mister Norro and he's agreed to lend the judging hand. So here's what I need: -An opponent (or opponents, I suppose) -Suggestions on a Topic and Size -A due date that will work for both myself and my opponent(s). Let's make the GFX forum interesting, huh?

That's probably the best compliment my work's ever gotten so I could give a damn about whether there's etiquette in it or not. All yours, DMN.

Thank you all for your kind comments and constructive criticism. I appreciate it greatly.

Thank you, DJ. I appreciate your kind comments. I really really like the excess of Layla photos you have around your posts haha.

Made this after reading the announcement and the participants. Let me know what you guys think. (Generico cut from PSD Dreams, Background elements via Google Images, all other are my own cuts.)

For a desktop, in my opinion, it is far too busy. Your background layer is stone-looking, so it's appropriate, I suppose. The "Glass Shatters" text itself is fine, but perhaps unneeded. I'll strongly echo Sousa and Faarooq/Blue's sentiments as far as my bewilderment at the radioactive logos go, though. I'm into the title belt's placement, and I like the main cut of Austin, but the rest of those logos and cuts seem unnecessary to me, I guess it's just going back to the "too busy" point I made earlier. Overall, I will say, it's just too cluttered for my liking. Fair try, though.
