CONTEST OVERVIEW
This is a 5 round competition of Photoshop and image enhancement skills where contestants go toe to toe. This is a digital art contest. Each contestant is given an image to work with for a maximum of 24 hours. The image can be manipulated in any manner possible (there are no rules). The only editing rule the contestants must follow is: The image at the beginning of the round must at least be identifiable after editing.

Once edits are completed, the image is posted for voting. Contestants are not allowed to vote on a match-up they are participating in. Only the first 25 votes counts. Voting must be done on the provided voting page to be counted. Once voting begins, the contestants e-mail each other the uncompressed versions of their entry. At the end of voting, the winning image becomes the image to be edited for the next round. The contestant who wins the most rounds wins the competition.

When voting, please do so on the provided page. Votes placed on the image or in this thread will not be counted. This thread is to be used for contest updates, and trash-talking, not voting. The images are being stored in my portfolio and will likely be deleted at some point so any comments placed on the images (although appreciated) will probably be temporary

I have a wife, baby, and job so the contest may experience some delays from time to time. I have tried to organize it in a way that makes it easy for me to update, so I promise I will make every effort to keep things moving.

I will keep the updates in this original post to make it easier for everyone to follow the progress without having to scroll through all of the posts.

Please PM me with any questions you may have about this contest.

I keep seeing these Gauntlet things and they all have the same message by the OP but never any links to the provided page. . How ignorant.

You're missing the boat. While the voting is going on, it says "vote here" under the current pics. This round is over for this gauntlet. Too slow.

Well, when the voting stage comes up the provided link appears. When the editing stage is in effect, you obviously can't vote and there is no link.

And what exactly would the timeline be for this "voting stage"?

Once both participants send their file, the link gets put up and the first 25 votes count. The timeline is "within the first 25 votes"

12/12/2005 04:41:02 PM · #20
Well it's about time!
...I personally think you deserve the DQ for staying up & watching survivor instead of doing your Photoshopping duties!!! ;0)
12/12/2005 04:42:34 PM · #21
hey - i still had an hour!
12/12/2005 04:49:24 PM · #22
We watched Survivor on a local station (Global) and it was delayed 18 minutes! What tools at Global, we had to fast-forward through The Simpsons while panicking that I'd set the wrong channel to record.
12/12/2005 04:50:12 PM · #23
mine was delayed 22 minutes.
Becauseof football. Like football matters!
12/12/2005 04:52:15 PM · #24
elli you gotta pull a win girl :) i'm rooting for ya in this round :P

*yeah right*
12/12/2005 04:58:01 PM · #25
Football is good if you know what to use it for. I played football in highschool. I didn't like it, but it was the best way to be assured of getting a girlfriend. Without football I'd still be a virgin.

edit: oddly enough, I played centre, so I spent a lot of time bent over with the QB's hands in my crotch.
