the sky horizon is external, I was not trying to fool anyone, messed up when speed uploading entries at McDonalds before home connection was set up. Sorry.

Unfotunately Marks entries seem to be attracting these comments lately... they're also getting them VERY early in the comps which I believe is affecting voting somewhat. It's a shame because I've seen how much he puts into his work & this community.

Marco wrote: "Only externals are the boats, rest is made from source, source extension and PS made effects." You should have this pulled for trying to mislead people. You owe us an apology!
ReyRey ReyRey
Can't wait for this explanation.
ReyRey ReyRey
You are talented. Why do you feel the need to lie still? I don't get it.
supak0ma supak0ma
i don't think there would be a reflection with that kind of weather
Claf Claf
Hahahaha... that's not the first time that marco bring some nice bullshit. In fact I can see it most of the time... I also think he didn't draw lightning...
ReyRey ReyRey
ditto
Claf Claf
One of the obvious one... read the last comments... you'll find the external... photoshopcontest.com...
ReyRey ReyRey
People should be allowed to take back votes. I know I wish I could have many times. (f$#@@$% buttons)
ReyRey ReyRey
Go ahead Marco, tell me what a twat I am. You should be ashamed.

oh boy *grabs the popcorn

I remember that one Claf. lol
ReyRey ReyRey
By the way, I didn't go looking for this. It was sent to me.
rockyjob rockyjob
Notice the cut fire on the left indicating how it is indeed an external photoshopcontest.com...
JORDAN792 JORDAN792
I’m speechless… A lot of people here are inspired by you and look up to you… You are better than that, you don’t need to lie, we know you are talented and could do this kind of work. Sorry to see this

photoshopcontest.com... img31.imageshack.us... I'm not one to get involved, but this is really low man. And not the first time either.

I have contacted the relevant people via PM in relation to what ever points made. I just want to say a few simple things. I never intended or have in the past to fool anyone. I link sources when I feel needed...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... in this case however I made a mistake of missing the external I did use. I have seen many people do this, but I will not name names, as it happens. I did it on a pac man entry a while ago, forgot a melon was external, as so much was source...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... I was notified, and quickly changed it. I realise it was my error. However, if I spot it on others or others have noticed, they are not accused of being cheats, they are given time to change it, and explain...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... In recent weeks and I will not name names, I have seen 6 members have this problem, all quickly apologised, and rectified the issue, non of which were accused and found guity before having logged in to explain...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... I logged in late today, to find what is seen here, it was not pleasant, but can see why it happened. However if I had returned to my entry or logged on early, I may have recalled and been able to change it, I have done before on previous entries...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... I am here to try and assist others, take part in this community and have fun along the way. If you think I cheated and am a bastard for it, before I had chance to alter my mistake, then fine, I can do nothing else as everyone has an opinion...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... I apologise for my slip up, and that's all I can do. cheers all.
MamaBallistic MamaBallistic
He was late logging in today because he's been taking care of me all day, he does this when I have bad days. Could someone not have PM'd him the problem & give him chance to rectify his mistake before leaving comments? I'm sure he'd have appreciated
MamaBallistic MamaBallistic
..it immensely. My apologies for my typos in my voting & probably in comments... as you can see I'm drugged up today! lol!
marcoballistic marcoballistic
Also in response to Claudes comment on the lightning, the lightning I do is indeed how you put it drawn, actually drawn on paper, sketches or sometimes with my tablet. If drawn I scan it in, invert it from my usual graphic pen black...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... then make selection cut outs, add parts from other drawn elements & then dodge & burn parts. Usually setting it in an image with a point 2 blur. then use duplicate layers of blur to get stronger with layer styles that make the glowing effect...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
...I have also in the past used indian ink & a sharpe bit of wood or wood nib pencil (pencil with no lead) to move the ink, then edit off the mess when dry & scanned in. The tablet method is straight forward brushes and drawn effect until I am happy...
marcoballistic marcoballistic
... with it all. While teaching rach I showed her the selection tool method, which is far quicker, but not as fun or rewarding overall. But great for people learning I find. Hope this helps.
CarlC CarlC
forgot the word "used" in my vote post. "you used my source" etc...,
arcaico arcaico
Never intended to fool people my ass!! You're so full of shit!! So you didn't feel needed to link to the source that is THE WHOLE BACKGROUND of the entry. Let's make people believe I did it all on my own! How can someone miss THE MAIN EXTERNAL, I wonde
marcoballistic marcoballistic
ha ha ha yay its Arc lol
anfa anfa
Mate, I'd rather have an abusive nutter than a lying swindler any day. And don't come off all innocent. It doesn't work any more. People can see through you. There's enough evidence in this comment section to prove it.

LOL @ Momahets comments about how much Marco puts into his work................

..............I didn't notice. I did notice however how much he puts into............

Too true Sci.

Just read though this again and thought - So the lightning is drawn on paper and scanned, isn't that an outside source?
marcoballistic marcoballistic
thats a good point, never thought about it that way, kind of 50/50 or 30/70, 25/75 hmmmm
Claf Claf
For the newbies & Photoshop beginners, don't loose your time to draw lightning. There's plenty of choices of good resolution sources on Google. Your draw will not make it better. :)

Dudes and Ladies: SERIOUSLY: no commenting of a PERSONAL nature, okay? If you wanna do your Big Deal About Source stuff, have at it. But NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. NOT COOL. I, or other MODs, WILL DELETE. Okay? Play somewhat NICELY. - Reinier
Alex Alex
HE SHOULD BE BANDED!!!
ReyRey ReyRey
And still the votes pour in. lol

HAHAHA DADY SAY HE WAS FOOLED
anfa anfa
I agree with Alex. People should be banned for cheating.
arcaico arcaico
Alex was talking about me, anfa... but whatever... ;)
TutorMe TutorMe
Although I find it hard to believe that you could accidentally omit a source that is such a big part of the overall image, something similar happened to me once. photoshopcontest.com... I completely forgot that I...
TutorMe TutorMe
...used an external scan of crumpled paper.

I feel it in my fingers - I feel it in my toes - Christmas is all around me - And so the feeling grows - youtube.com...

No I wasn't talking about your arc... Anfa was right. :)
Michel Michel
This is more entertaining than the forum.
Claf Claf
Scion, arc, Alex... hey, nice place to meet! :D
arcaico arcaico
ReinCop keeps deleting my comments!!!!! TYRANT!!! Hi Claf! :D
arcaico arcaico
it is funny though... the way the first vote calls it ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!!! pffft a master piece of crap that is...
ReinMan ReinMan
Good ARC. You left the "girlfriend" out of those two comments. There's hope 4 U yet. Not much. But some. Love, ReinTyrantCop
Alex Alex
Hey Rein! You deleted mine too!?!? I was on your side! ;)
Alex Alex
BTW, I would just like to state that everything in this chop is external... photoshopcontest.com... No painting, no nothing. There's like 47 pics in there. Just saying.
