May I give it a go? My classes don't begin for another week, so I'm "free"

Sure! Make sure you read the How to Play thread mentioned in the first post and that you have a FTP client to download and upload the images.

Is that a Sugar Glider Janet???

Looks like there will be at least two teams in this round!!!! Still room for more players!!! Don't be bashful!

I like to start this round early. Any players able to start today or tomorrow instead of Friday?

Any time after 7pm cst is good for me. :thumbsup:

Looks like there will be two teams!!!! If you still would like to play just PM me...the round remains open until the image is done, so I can always add players.

Team status will be updated here. I will also list what each player has done so that others will not accidentally cover it up.

Team 1
FrannyMae - Done; Added a Mosquito
Kissed Vixen - Done; Added runway, goggles on bug and exit sign
Welles- Done; Added Alien Ship
Rondon - Done; Added Skydiver, small plane and reflection on alien ship
Roger_Ele - Done; Added gravity beam from alien ship, small alien ship and arms scratching the plane wing

Jeff_L - Done; Added Carnival Ride
Janet Petty - Done; Added Sunset Sky
Kitacat3 - Done; Darkened sky, added planets and rainbow halo
TwinbNJ - Done; Added Marvin the Martian
sir2u - Done; Added Pepsi logo

This round really went fast, especially for Team1. Is it better to start the round on a Wednesday night/Thursday?

T Paul, currently midweek works best for me, but my work schedule changes every 3 months so that will change! Probably best to see what "normal" people think! Thanks for taking the time to put together Art Tag rounds...it is so much fun to see these group projects come together!

My life is constantly in chaos. Anytime is as good as any other time. If I'm able to fit it in, I will. I loved doing this first one.

This round is now closed. Thanks to all the players!

Here was the starting image!

Here is how the image progressed from player to player on each team (Team 1 and Team 2):

And the final images for both teams!

great job everyone

i love both of them!

i was the last on team1, when i got it it was so good i didn't want to add anything!

welles, didi you draw the spaceship? it is awesome!

roger

Congratulations to both teams. Both images are incredible. I have to say that I love those scratching hands though.

Judi

What fun. We all deserve a pat on the back. We did a nice job and worked together well.

Both images turned out great! I'm with Kitacat....love those hands! When's the next round? LOL!

Really fun images ... love the scratches and buggyspace ship.. and Marvin
who doesn't love marvin!!!

nice job everyone!!

K :)

Those were both great results! Roger, you know that alien spaceship was really simple. Six ovals and tricky layer styles was all there was to it. I think I can provide the Styles if anybody is interested. Oh yes there was the little alien drawing too, of course. I loved the reflection of the wing someone added (Rondon I think)to the UFO. That integrated it into the whole. We really meshed in Group 1 that time. Whee, that's fun!

Welles,

I have seen a little illustration work done in Photoshop, but not a lot. Yours is very good. I would very much appreciate the basic thought process - you don't need to do all the detail;) Maybe do a scren shot of the layers palette so that I can see how you set it up...

Thanks,
Roger

Welles, I would be interested in your layer styles if you don't mind. Judi

Kitacat3 and roger_ele,

Unfortunately, I didn't keep a PSD file of Wings, just the .tif. I'm creating so many images lately that I just don't keep them all. However, I've put together a little package of layer styles, a screen shot of a new image which will be illustrative of the technique, and a Word document which describes what you are seeing. It isn't a big download (Art Tag.zip) and you can find it here...
