My first serve. Who wants some?? 
I was thinking five volleys each? Use something from the one before, if you like, etc etc etc.
anybody game?

Ah, your thunder dome starter cherry - nice. :beer:
:pop:
thanks, Ari. Can't wait to see who steps up to smack me around.
cheers 
I am sorta new at this whole thing too, and currently have a battle going on with Technomancer..
HOWEVER, if no one steps forth to smack you around a bit, I will gladly go forth and at least flick your ears or something...

hey man-
i was comin here to start up a battle. i startd one like 2 or 3 weeks ago on WH, but after my first return the guy hasn't posted anything :shrug:, so i dunno what's up, but i'm wantin to get into another one, my second one ever
, so i won't be much of one to 'smack you around' or whatever, but i'll try :thumbsup:. all in all, i'm takin up your challenge if that's coolio w/ you. what are all the rules you wanna go by? i won't start workin on anything til we clear that part up, so let's get it goin!
later-
Dude, this is going to be more fun than paraplegic indian leg wrestling!!!!!1111
Rools. We need rools. Ok, ten paces, then turn and throw a few fish at each other. No. That won't work.
5 volleys, use something from the last and no size change? Roolsy enough fer ya?
Tiki: Thanks for the offer, I'll make sure I keep your number around in case i get lonely :winkywinkynudgynudgy:
cool man. so i'll work on my first volley of 5 tonight, making sure to keep something from your last image whilst maintaining the same size...eh?
hopefully i'll have somethin up by tomorrow night. see ya-
Awesome! No rush. Maybe we should add "no time limit" to the rules?
That said, can't wait to see what you come up with. N00bs unite! 
Thanks, mod gods 
yea, the no time limit thing is cool, so long as we keep each other updated, cause that was the rule to that last battle i was in and now the guy could be dead for all i know :shrug: cause he hasn't even come by to say he's been busy or anything. so yea, no time, but let's not draw it out any longer than it has to be, of course. i'm off to go work on it!
noobs unite, hah, that's right! f'n A man, F'n A!
:buttrock:
Sounds cool, man.
Glad we're agreed.
i guess it's not technically monday, being 12:42 am, and i said i'd have somethin up by monday, but i'm not too late, so i don't wanna hear any bitchin!
just kiddin, here ya go buddy-

peace out-
NOICE! I haven't checked yet, but I'm sure that you and my other battle-buddy have probably posted simultaneously. Heh. I'll have my hands full for sure.
I'm looking at getting something back to you no later than thursday (Aus time), but I'll let you know if that changes.
REALLY like what you did with what I gave you. The gun was such a strong image, it was bound to make it through to the next round.
Really, the original image was just something to show the gun off, so things are still going along those lines. Excellent.
Nice shot johnb,.
:thumbsoup:
thanks for the comments guys. ('nice shot', no pun i'm sure) 
yea, i kept the palms too, adding that bit of texture
yeah. i really like you guys... awesome work!!:thumbsup: 
excellent start you two :thumbsup:
thanks guys.
Thanks everyone. Hope I can keep the next volley up to scratch!
i'm sure you can, don't worry about all the pressure!!!
:thumbsup:
Not 100% happy with this.. but definitely 100% sleepy as hell, and running a little late. Heh, that's funny actually, I'm about 45 minutes over my predicted time.. not too bad 

Hope you can find something to use here.. Before you come over and stab me for not using anything from yours.. You just have to look REAL goddam close. I took a little piece of your dead guy and made him into that weird wavy background there. So, I hope that counts. Heh.
have fun, and please be kind 
Alright.. somehow that went horribly wrong in the export...???
shite. Well, it's out there. I can fix it if you want, but I think I'd rather just put it behind me..
cool stuff man. i'll have something up in a day or two-
ok, so in one sense i came through w/ my word, in another sense i surpassed it
. it's the next day, but technically it hasn't even been a full day since i said that, soooooo.....anyways, hopefully this wasn't too rushed. i didn't have a thing to do so i worked on this piece, normally i like to let my ideas 'satuee' or 'soak' for a bit before throwin them together, but i started on one idea and then scratched it half way and came up w/ this in less than an hour. hopefully you like it. oh yea, and the element from your last piece that i used should be pretty apparent 

btw, is this battle one that is 'voted on' or whatever to determine who 'wins'? not sure how that works, i see it a good bit, but it didn't go on in my last battle (my first ever), but i wasn't sure if that was because there was 3 of us or not. :shrug: no matter to me, just curious.
