/\/\ thanks, i tried imageshack but as i sed my internet is fuked atm, yea shud be gd!

I don't know how to vote on GFX battles but here's an attempt...

Enigmatik: I like the way the font fits across the guys fist and I can see some kinda effect overlying the picture...but I can't tell what it is...overall decent but coulda been made better.

sc.rambo: The creativity of yours was a little better I think...the way the CD Title kinda blended to the wall of the building was a nice touch...plus the overall image quality was better...Mixtape covers are a hard theme to work with so I feel it should have been more creative from both of you...

sc.rambo GMV for having more creativity in his piece and better quality...it was easier to distinguish exactly what was goin on.

i aint being a bad loser or nuthin but are we counting this 1 as he aint a gfx hed?

i would count it
not just because its for me
but he explained it really well
and he made valid points to both of us
and its not like gfx heads are the only ones that know what looks good

i would count it
1-0

Design: EniGmatik - The design is simply better, i prefer EniGmatik's more than Rambo's.

Effort: EniGmatik - Rambo's seems like a cut and past job (probably not though). However you can see alot more effort in EniGmatik's, IMO.

Creativity: Tie - Both ideas were not really creative.

Text: EniGmatik - I like the layout and everything on it, looks dope. Rambo's is nice, i really liked it, very close, however the colour on the text is kinda crap and makes it fairly hard to read, if it was a brighter colour and not so dark, you would've easily took this.

Blending: Sc. Rambo - Colours seem to match more, But you won just slightly, EniGmatik's was nearly as good.

Image Cutting: EniGmatik - Images just smoother and feel like they belong there, while in Rambo's it don't seem to fit in, most likely cause you can see the cutting lines, on the right side it don'tblend in aswell as EniGmatik's.

Brushing: EniGmatik - Rambo's didn't seem to have any, if it did wasn't very noticable, giving the feeling it was just a plain stock pic with no editing, while EniGmatik's had the brushing over the text which looks dope, but the other brushing around the renders are utter shit (No Offence)

Background: EniGmatik - It works better and looks nicer, while Rambo's yours just seems too contrasted and plain.


Overall Vote: EniGmatik

Oh and people SERIOUSLY need to read the voting rules, found HERE (http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32353)

like i said close battle 1-1
keep the votes comin

Design: EniGmatik- just looks better overall IMO.

Effort: EniGmatik- dunno, seems like there was alot more time put into his cover. rambo, looks like yours was slightly rushed. doesn't seem like a lot was put in.

Creativity: Tie- both ideas seemed pretty similar to me.

Text: EniGmatik- your text is fuckin ill. placement is pretty good. i think the bottom text w/ the cover's title should be moved slightly so you can see the G-Unit tattoo on Prodigy's hand. rambo, your text was decent but that motion blur looking thing behind "vol. 2" is too strong. kinda ruined it for you.

Blending: Tie

Cutting: Tie- cant really choose.

Brushing: EniGmatik easily. the brushing on the bg are text look dope. the brushing on the renders don't look right. rambo, your brushing isn't really visible enough or it doesn't have enough of an effect on the cover.

BG: EniGmatik- has a better feel to it. rambo, yours is good but i don't like the color and does seem to have a little too much contrast.

Vote: EniGmatik

Design: Tie, to be honest I really think design is a personal prefernce, and I didnt really like either one of them.

Effort: SC.Rambo: Given both of there talents and the fact that EniGmatik didnt bother to blend his renders in to his BG leaves me to question his effort on this project.

Creativity: EniGmatik mainly because he did the lazer like stikes, I havent seen that before so its new to me. and the brushing around the text

Text: SC.Rambo- His main text was hot, but his subtext sucked...but still
Enigmatik pretty much used a repetive font and his main text looked bad, I dont know if he used a gradient in it, but those lines in the main text looked off to me.

Blending: SC.Rambo- this was a simple choice you can see white outlines on EniGmatiks renders

Image Cutting: N/A

Brushing: EniGmatik: that brushing around the text was sick

Background: Tie, I didnt like either one of them. SC rambos was plain.
And I had no idea what Enigmatiks was a BG of..


VOTE: sc.rambo

2-2
haha
once again i told u this would be close

damn! nice mixtape battle....i wish i cud do that.....anyways:

Design: Rambo
Effort: u can't vote on effort!! tie
Creativity: Rambo
Text: Eni
Blending: Tie
Image Cutting: Rambo
Brushing: wat?
Background: Rambo
Animation: Rambo

Not as onesided as it looks but rambo took this one mos def

/\/\ i wouldnt count that, he doesnt reali no wat he's talking about, u had no animation and he doesnt know what brushing is. it aint coz he gave it 2 u but i dont think it was justified.

/\ also it says in the voting rules that any1 other than gfx heads cant vote :p

alright thats cool
that makes sense especialy since he doest know what brushing is
i normally let other people vote tho as long as they know what they are talking about only because none of the grapgics people ever vote
its really sad and it takes a long ass time and since im assuming we are gunna need at least 3 more votes its gunna be hard to get all gfx heads

/\ yea ur right, as long as the votes based on an educated opinion thats cool but yea, that seems fair.

Lol thats cause most of them are lazy fucks. I'm being serious too...post up work get feed back, but can't even spend 2 minutes to post and make a vote to return the favour...

i know and thats the only reason i let other people vote on battles

/\ ye i no, but wen they dont no wat brushing is :s , that guy b4 was cool coz he knew wat he was saying but as it stands its 2-2, keep the votes cumiN!

Text- Both text's were decent, I feel sc.rambos would have been much better without making the text as transparent as he did. Also with text I think that enig used a vareity of differant text.

Enig...

Background- I think that scramz was better in a sense, because he had the whole gritty concept going, where as in enigs i really couldn't tell because of the slight blur weither they were in front of a skybox at a baseball stadium or weither it was just a feild. anyway, scrams is more dark and gritty, and I think that always looks better on a mixtape.

Scramz

Creativity- Enigs was just like any other Mobb Deep album cover, where as Scramz really brought the creativity to life. Looks like enigs took more time, and more effort, but in the end it came out like a mainstream album cover.

Scramz

Brush- I think that both had a good share of brushing and fading, Enigs actually looked like it had a little more, and the blend of the cut to the background was lacking a lil bit in scramz, where in enigs, his looked like Mobb was there.

Enig...

Overall- Both have tied in categories, but I really think what did it for me is, that this battle was a mixtape battle, usually when you pick a mixtape up they have the gutter type design to it, and enigs lacked that as I said it looked more like a mainstream album cover, and I also thought that just how everything fit together scramz was just a little bit better.

SCRAMZ

3-2 Rambo, nice going, so its first to five now right?

hah i guess
might take a month tho

lol yea.

haha...

nice battle

/\ would u vote plz man.

this shit is gunna take ages

wow...

both are hella creative, i like how rambo really tried his hardest to make it look professional with the artist in the back*names*, the text on enig's is fucking bomb, better than sc's by a lil. color scheme goes to SC, i like the colors better actually, even though enig's is nice.

vote- SC, his was better to me, but enig's was a lil more on the professional side, i just liked sc's creativity

i told him to vote a month ago
and finally he does so
4-2 me man
this is taking forever
uppin for votes

yup, i reckon uve got this 1 :(

yea i think so too
i hope it ends next vote tho i dont feel like waiting for u to make a comeback in votes haha
that would take another month
do u wanna just end it or wait for another vote
it was a close battle imo

Hard, didn't like either really.

The graphics skill in this battle was poor.

But a tie aint gunna help anything.

Vote: Rambo.

Closed.
