Greek Mythology 3-way battle...

[Guest Mike Dude]

Anyone down to have a 3ppl ffa with a general greek mythology theme?

[Lord Nibbler]

Aight...

Off-topic, your sig doesn't make a lick of sense. Only 7 names for Popes? Unless it's referring to Popes after a certain date, I don't see how anyone could come to that conclusion.

Yay...one more dude...

(off topic: ugh...its some stupid theory that how all the chosen pope names come from a latin form of only 7 names that always repeated themselves in history, it scares catholics so I love it)

[Jam Smash]

I'll take you up and supply the third man

[Guest Mike Dude]

Nice! So should we get some rules for size and requirements (other then greek mythology if someone is nice enough to type 'em up) or go with freestyle?

[Jam Smash]

why don't we do it freestyle, all the requirements are is that its based around greek mythology... oh and a deadline might be useful

Heres my entry, in my opinion its nowhere near what it should of been, but then again at this moment nothing in my head is clear enough for me to put into action.

Its about Aphrodite the greek goddess who married a cripple smith and then repeatedly cheated on him with others and born their children. All information is from this web page http://messagenet.com/myths/bios/aphrodite.html.

No stocks was used in this gfx, pure photoshop,well except the fonts used which there are three.

The grungy type background is supposed to represent the immoral acts she commited and the verticle motion blur is what I see as being the pure energy within her.

my entry

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Does anyone mind if I enter one of my own. I read this thread last night and thought it sounded like the most interesting there's ben in here for ages! Good work on this idea!

Is that a problem? I've pretty much finished it last night as I had some spare time.

do it

Icarus: Pride comes before a fall.

According to Greek mythology Daedalus had been imprisoned by King Minos of Crete within the walls of his own invention, the Labyrinth. But the great craftsman's genius would not suffer captivity. He made two pairs of wings by adhering feathers to a wooden frame with wax. Giving one pair to his son, he cautioned him that flying too near the sun would cause the wax to melt. But Icarus became ecstatic with the ability to fly and forgot his father's warning. The feathers came loose and Icarus plunged to his death in the sea.

The image is to represent the youthful exuberance of Icarus (left). The image chosen is anime, with strong lines, picking out the vibrant youthful strength in the body. In comparison, Daedalus is pictured as a painting. Maturity, intellect, invention.

The eye is looking into the waves to symbolise Icarus' fall into the sea. His earlier energies and over-confidence leading to death.

The font is clean, modern, against the Greek mythologic theme, telling us of a warning that is relevant even today.

My graphics tend to be simple, clean, full of energy, modern and I've clearly used that on this.

HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

Nice entry dude...since there's 4 of us, how about for voting first to 5 wins?

[Jam Smash]

fine by me

[Maxx]

more more more!

Loving the Hamster-man's

[jonnypolo]

I vote for JTE's to win. Looks very nice. Hamsters looked great too.

[thuganomic]

CSAMH's

Great representation of the story. Excellent.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Voting graphic wise here because it's not about who's tells the better story. I did like them all actually. Love the swirl in the eye on CSAMH''s one. Also seem to like the entry from Jam Smash. JTE's I liked too, mainly for how it just looked but I think some parts just seemed a bit rough. I like the graphic Mike Dude has actually, the colouring seems to fit nicely and the text looks pretty good, so he's just going to take my vote here.

Vote - Mike Dude

Jam Smash. It just got my attention and didn't let go
