Steemit PS Tennis (Photoshop Battles). Lets Make It Happen!
PS Tennis or Photoshop Battles are an amazing exercise for the creatively inclined, & a pretty awesome spectator sport!
Many MANY years ago, I was a new designer. I got into it all because graphics are pretty and art is awesome of course! With my passion I found books, and communities that had something called PS TENNIS or Photoshop Battles, which allowed the creative to really flex their creative muscles and make some great stuff on the fly, within constraints, and really force them to BE creative.
How it works
Essentially the way it works is that an individual, or community, or team, etc. designs 1 image and posts/sends it to another individual, community, or team.
The other individual, community, or team then takes that image and based on the rules, pre-set before the 'match', creates a 2nd image based on the original.
This does not mean that it must look the same, or even have the same theme, only that it must be built based on the previous image, or using elements from the previous image, again, depending on the rules.
An Example of some types of rules
- Platform: Photoshop/Illustrator
- Size: Can not be altered
- Rotation: Yes
- Number of Vollies: 10
- Participants: 2
LETS BRING IT TO STEEMIT AND HAVE SOME PS TENNIS / PHOTOSHOP BATTLES HERE!
We have some amazing artists here on Steemit and with the additional metric of Upvotes and Flags not to mention comments of course, this could absolutely ROCK here on Steemit!
Here are a few examples of a few past PS Tennis Matches / Photoshop Battles I was in over a decade ago, because pictures speak over 1000 words!
Shade Vs Xeor
For this match, the only rules were that the image could not be resized, and there were only 2 participants.
Volley 1 - Xeor
Volley 2 - Shade
Volley 3 - Xeor
Volley 4 - Shade
Shade vs Consumed
For this match, the rules were that the image must be a particular size (the resolution was EXTREMELY large) and there were only 2 participants.
Volley 1 - Shade
Volley 2 - Consumed
Volley 3 - Shade
Volley 4 - Consumed
Volley 5 - Shade
Shade vs Heather
For this match, the rule was that the art-work could take no longer than 15 minutes from start to finish. This was an attempt to push both speed with creativity and see what could happen within a limited time.
Volley 1 - Shade
Volley 2 - Heather
Volley 3 - Shade
Volley 4 - Heather
Volley 5 - Shade
Volley 6 - Heather
Volley 7 - Shade
Volley 8 - Heather
Volley 9 - Shade
Volley 10 - Heather
Volley 11 - Shade
Volley 12 - Heather
So Again, Lets Bring It To Steemit!
If the concept of this, and/or the images from my previous participation (over a decade ago) seem nice, please let me know in the comments!
I would love to hear who would be interested in participating, whether we want to go 1to1 or multiple person trains, or anything else. I think this could be absolutely amazing here on Steemit and it could really help some of the creatives here spread their wings in a semi-competitive environment, with monetary rewards!

Lets get the word out, have as many people as possible participate, and see some amazing art happen right here on Steemit between other Steemit members!
