so as soon as the thread for your match gets posted, the 48 hour clock will start. I will try to send you an Email when your match has started but make sure you check back frequently anyway just in case.

Let the games begin :D

Nevermind ignore this...lol I didn't read properly....echh. Tired. Sorry.

well the challenge threads will be posted by the forum mods. this is the equivalent of a regular pixel wars challenge.

each match will have its own rules (such as size) just as a regular pixel wars match does.

the only tournament-wide rule is that all challenges must be done using photoshop only. no 3rd party filters. that way nobody has any advantages with software, because im quite sure everyone here has photoshop ;)

as far as importing images, using text, and size though, that will change with every round.

cool...


so what do i have to do?
toe to toe against sir ant?

Multiplexor Skillz Challenge! Combine multitudeness of skills to reign victorious in Round 1. Tournament Rules are in effect. NO 3rd party filters -- native PS only. NO imported graphics, except the image supplied below. The image must appear in your finished piece somehow, somewhere, someway. Photo manipulation is encouraged.

Text and or original PS graphics may be used, but not required.

Finished size: 600 X 600 pixels

Image:




Good luck; please post your finished piece only in the Active Challenge Arena.

do we have to use that whole image or can we cut out the boat and paste it?

Cut away! Cut, manipulate, mangle!!!! Just has to appear in some form in the finished piece.

Yes you may. Just remember to close the door behind you, it's chilly at night.

Hey folks,

since I'm now an offical "Rd. 1 Loser" :mad: what do I do now? - when does the next bracket start? - and how much time do I get to make another picture next time, 3 weeks? kidding... :D

and can we clarify if this is for photoshop skills or for aesthetically pleasing (translation: cool picture)?

I'm new to this pixel wars business. - obviously.

thanks

well everyone is new to this, its the first one evar.

the consolation first round will begin in conjunction with the championship second round. so you will have another match tommorrow.

as far as the criteria for voting..im in the dark myself about that
