I wanted to have a battle, figured I had some time since school is out for a couple of weeks. Here's my first volley, 4-6 volley's each, open theme, lots of color.

ARE YOU IN, OR ARE YOU IN THE WAY?

I haven't battled in over a year but I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

CHEERS! Thanks Arigato!
I was playing around, and I figured it was worth having a battle with this time where i really don't know what to do with myself, other than get drunk, or make art.

well, who's in?

I was really hoping to battle, I guess it's only been a couple of days, but I'm getting impatient. Maybe it's the volley, should I throw another? Well, bed time... gimme some technicolored dreams!

ok Moni, if you're interested in going 5 a piece I'm keen. I can only turn something out every few days though as I'm fairly busy on the work and home fronts so I'm thinking this'll stretch out for 2 - 3 weeks. Feel free to turn me down, my work is basic and a better offer might turn up yet.

I'm cool with one volley every 3 days, no worries tenPlus.
Let's get this thing going... make it basic, make it what you want.

Merry Ho Ho Y'all!!!

so I'm 7/8 along the way with my volley and PS does a bunker on me i.e. it doesn't want to play so I shut it down and start it up again. Then I can't open any type of file with it let alone my volley .psd, I reboot my machine and still no difference. I try starting PS with lg's trusty CTRL+ALT trick and still PS doesn't want to play. I've even opened my .psd in Image Ready and tried to export it to PS but without luck. What I've done is use Image Ready to optimize what I have of my volley even though it's still a bit rough. I've been up since 2:30am, it's now around 10pm xmas eve and I still have some last minute wrapping to do. I'll post what I have and offer my apologies for the 1/2 baked volley. Merry Xmas MoniKong, and Merry Xmas to everyone else.

Holy Man, that does not sound like a fun time, hmm I wonder what's up with your PS?! Anyways, I like your half baked volley, I hope you get that stuff running and all, but I'm cool with returning to this, I'll probably work on one later tonight when I'm full of fish, vegetables and vodka. I see a bit of an asian theme happening here.

JOLLY WOLLY CHEERS!

Fixed the problem, not only did I have trouble with PS but I also couldn't drag and drop files on my system so I had to spend some time doing some maintainance .. such is life. Anyway, I've quickly tidied my volley a li'l and re-presented it. The asian influence was only just something common from your volley, I was mainly working with brighter colors which you originally suggested. Sounds like I'm going out visiting and will leave you to enjoy your xmas, don't hurry with a reply, you only have the opportunity to spend xmas with family and friends once a year!

I'm enjoying this tremendously. Thanx for allowing me to partner you with this moni. It's too easy to keep jamming more and more into it and going overboard, I was initially going for a minimal look .. :shrug:
