Tag Tennis

STILL LOOKING FOR CHALLENGERS!

So, something a little bit different...

So, what we have here, is tag tennis. Some of you might have heard of photoshop tennis before, and it applies to battles really nicely.

How it works is, one person serves up the tag, finishes it up, sends it to the next person, and they work off of that to make their own tag. They have to leave recognizable elements from the previous hit, before sending it back.

Example.
Designer1, vs Tagger1
Designer one serves up the psd
Sends it to Tagger1, where he edits it, sends it back to Designer1
Designer hits back, rinse, repeat.

Afterwards, the voting is for your pieces as a WHOLE. All of mine, versus all of yours.


I'm willing to take on anyone, and multiple people at once. Let's keep the rounds short, unless someone here thinks they can go longer. I'm more than capable of going for 20 rounds, I have before, and I'll do it again. ;p
6 rounds, for 3 tags apiece is a pretty good number. I usually work in 400 x 100, but I can do bigger if preferred. Any other details are more than wide open for me.

I'm also willing to start, if need be.

EDIT: Here are a few examples

So how does this work?

Sounds like an interesting idea. But I'm sort of lost at the last bit. What exactly do you vote for? Isn't the sig the product of both competitors works so if so, how do you vote for each other? xD I'm confused.

You vote for the finished products, like by the end of it, you'd have 3 tags from Designer1, and 3 from Tagger1.
Stack them all up against each other as a whole, so it would be all 3 vs all 3. You vote for which 3 are better as a whole.

Yes, it is a result of both people's work, but it's more of a test of your ability to take something given to you, and work with it, and make it your own.

Obviously, neither competitor votes.

so its kinda like a big collab battle?

i dont understand at all lol

I think I get it.

Step One: Designer makes a tag
Step Two: Designer sends tag to battler
Step Three: Battler uses the completed tag to make a new one
Step Four: Battler Sends to Designer
Step Five: Designer uses that tag to make a new one
Step Six: Rinse and repeat

Going off that though, I think it's not really a good idea at all, namely because a completed tag is completed in the eyes of the artist and they feel there isn't much more to do to it, that's why they're done with it.

Then don't do it, and leave it to those who aren't afraid to step outside of the box.

Here's a couple of OOOLD examples I found that I was a part of. The first 13 round one is frmo about 5 years ago, with a friend of mine, named Hope. The other one is a 3 man rotation from tagmonkey, with Cyan, and Muppets.

Let's use mine and hopes as an example, all of the odd numbered ones would be off to the left, and all the even would be on the right, and you'd vote for whichever one, as a whole is better, to you.

Edit: Can you subtract layers?

Yeah, there just has to be recognizable elements from the previous tag. Just look at the example to see what I mean.

If you don't get it, you'd be better off starting and let me work off your tag. 6 rounds (3 tags each) sound good to you? I'm willing to go any size as well, as long as it's not smaller than 400 x 100

I'm game as well, I work in 400x200.

i actually cant anymore just do it with furbz

Do you wanna start or would you rather I did?

You can go ahead and start.

so basically this is just a collab?

Nah because they ninja eachothers tags and add things of their own... this is like "Aussie Kush - The Game".

Lmao, you are in my book of win.

Kay, I wanna get another one crackin', who's ready?

Still waiting on Furbz for round 4, for anyone who's curious. Will post them up when we're all done.

premades allowed to start?

Sure, I can rock a premade. Send me the psd, and I'll get started. 6 rounds for 3 each good for you?

So I'm assuming it doesn't have to be large elements of the sig at all. From looking at http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/16/kkllkklklkllk.jpg.

First sig was made
Second sig took the intersecting lines like to find longitude latitude
Third sig took the same but turned it into target allocated
Fourth sig took the whole gun element

So just little elements like that ? Or is there more that I'm missing.

Yeah 6 rounds is good
Is there a time limit or what?

Basically just enough to be recognizable. And there's more elements than that that are shared among each of them. A lot of the time, they're just blended in further. Like you can see the digital display on the left in the second one, just blended in further than it was in the first, hell it goes all the way to the fourth one.

Bump. WANT MORE COMPETITORS.

Furbz just dropped out on me. Here's our results so far, not enough to bother voting on.
