Song Themed Contest - Round 04
Song :: "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban
Graphic :: Blend</center>
Lyrics:
You Raise Me Up wrote:
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
Rules:
------Have fun. Find your inner music muse.
------Please post the LINK of your entry and DO NOT use the img tools.
------Initial blend must be 600 x 400 pixels.
------Anyone is allowed to enter --- please do not ask for permission.
------Due date you want to aim for is April 9thth, 2007. I may accept entries a day after that, but sometimes I won't. No guarantees.
------Again, find your inner music-muse. JUST HAVE FUN.
***** <i>For the last round I noticed that a lot of people have been reaching the criteria, mainly revolving around putting the required lyrics and information in their blend. You MUST have all of the info required (refer to #04 of the Basics) otherwise, I will not accept it. However, I'm excusing some entries this round because 4 out of 5 verses are the same verse so this round you're allowed to only have one.</i>

>> Comments
--------EVERYONE :: “Great job, all of you. If only I possessed a fraction of your talents, I'll be the happiest man in the world (if only for a few days). I love your ideas for the same song and best of luck to you.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“This was sooo hard to choose, you all did an excellent job! It was very interesting seeing all of your different interpretations of the song, and how you put the lyrics to pictures...awesome job everyone! *applauds*” –Elven Archer
“Everyone had such beautiful entries, that I am glad I couldn't vote! Every single entry was unique, you all did such wonderful jobs!” –Limwen - Villya
--------LUTHIEN STAR LOVER :: “Nice use of colours. I really like that. The scene you have there matches the lyrics quite well.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“The way you did this one is very unique, I love the rounded boxes, with the pictures inside. And the one of Natalie Portman fits very well....but my favourite part is how you did the text! It looks great!:)” –Elven Archer
“The colors you used are very eye catching! I love the manipulated photo, its very unique. The text is simple, but artistic. Gorgeuous blend!” –Limwen - Villya
---------HOBBIT RILEY :: “Really nice blending, there. Though I do wish you added a little bit more colour to it.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“This one is good....it was a little hard for me to read the text, but overall I like it! And I like the color the best, pretty blue!
” –Elven Archer
“I must say, you had a very interesting idea! Love how you blended everything, with the clouds and all. Very nicely done.
” –Limwen - Villya
---------PANDORA :: “Wow really nice, Pan. It looks really sad with the girl on the swing by herself. I like the rectangle sections. Terrific use of colours.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“I love the colour scheme there and the pictures used (especially the one with the girl sitting on the swing) fit the lyrics and sets up the mood perfectly.” –Lithium
“Alright Pan, I have to say this is just drop dead gorgeous!
The color is so pretty and it is so bright and shiny! I really like the picture to the right, her eyes look soo cool! Elven likes alot!
” –Elven Archer
“I love the coloring of your blend. It gives it this really sad, beautiful touch. The way you placed these pictures is perfect. And the text is not at all over done. Wonderful job!” –Limwen - Villya
----------FOREVERFRODO :: “Really nice job with the colours, FF. I love it. Though I think it would have looked a bit better if the text was coloured as well.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“Oh this one looks alotlike Luthiens^ but different. I like how you used the same picture three different times, but then put a different picture also...(if that made sense!
) The coloring is very pretty and I just love it overall!
” –Elven Archer
“Gorgeous entry! I think it is very touching with Anakin and Padme... And I love the rainbow colors. Though, I think it looks a bit like Luthien's entry, you did a fantastic job!” –Limwen - Villya
----------MAETHARANEL :: “First thing that got my eye is the blending. Great job with that. I congratulate you. The text is bit hard to see, really. Maybe if you used another font or changed the opacity level or colour, it might be a little clearer.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“I really like this one.....The text look really cool, and I like how you kind of faded the background picture, and put more emphasis on the foreground picture! Lovely!
” –Elven Archer
“Beautiful... Just beautiful! I love the way it looks like a setting sun, or something like that. Even though I think the text could be a little easier to read, this is an extremely gorgeous blend. Wonderful job!” –Limwen - Villya
----------LIMWEN - VILLYA :: “Nice idea. I thought I was the only nuthead that did Prestige things. They would have been such a great couple....anyways back to the comments. You did a terrific job with the blending. But the text is a bit hard to see as well. It must be my eyes but it would look nice if you made it clearer.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“Wonderfully done. It's simple yet it has a nice mood set up to it. And the fading text is just...wow!” –Lithium
“I like this one...but it's a little hard to read the lyrics. It's very simple, but very pretty, amazing job!
” –Elven Archer
-----------MORWEN ANDURIL :: “Really cool idea for the blend, Morwen. Good blending there and the brushes you used were really nice. Great job.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“And she does it again!....No really I love this one Morwen. The coloring is very simple, yet pretty, and you lyrics are very readable and nicely placed. I love your brushes most of all!” –Elven Archer
“This is a very beautiful blend. I love the coloring, and all the brushes you used. I love it even more because of Frodo. The blend is gorgeous, not to much and not to little! Wonderful job!” –Limwen - Villya
----------JOHNNY'S FAN :: “Really nice job with the small divided sections. I'm stuck on making those sections. The texture is really nice as well. Is that one of yours? Original idea for the theme as well.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“I
really like the colours along with the black and white picture. It's like telling a story from the pictures in the circle and boxes on the left to the sadness on the right. Fabulousy done!” –Lithium
“It's bright, shiny and sparkly....need I say more? *SHINY!! pokes* *cough* Sorry....anyway, I really like the colors, and how you used all those different pictures together....it looks very cool JF!
” –Elven Archer
“I love how you did the text on your blend! It always comes out so well. I love how you used blue, instead of purple or pink. (Which is always lovely, but its what you do most of the time!) I love the circles you used on the side. Great job!” –Limwen - Villya
---------------LOTRFREAK13 :: “Another good idea for that. Nice job with the blending. That was such a sad scene, wasn't it? The brush you use is quite interesting and nice as well.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“I like the coloring the best on yours...the pictures are well placed too...although that one on the bottom is kind of.....disturbing. But anyway, it looks great!” –Elven Archer
“Your blend is very touching, and I really like that. The coloring is so soft and warm, it really adds a lot unto it. The text is a little crowded, but overall I really, really love this blend!” –Limwen - Villya
---------------MS.GAMGEE :: “Brilliant idea for that. That would probably be my favourite romance movie I saw. I like the changing of fonts you used. Quite creative and unique. The blending up until the Nicole Kidman's face is good. I just find it a bit outlandish that she has half of her head off. But great job with that” –Caunion the Frostlord
“Oh me likes this one! Although I've never seen Moulin Rouge, so I can't really tell what the pictures are....it looks great! I especially love you colored the text!
” –Elven Archer
“Another one where I really love the text! Great job on that! The blending is amazing, and I love the whole thing! Great job!” –Limwen - Villya
"Are you kidding me? Ewan McGregor/Nicole Kidman? And NOT get HC? Puhlease." - Kitoky
---------------GILRAEN RINGERIL :: “Nice blending there. I like the pictures of him (whomever he is) with the sort of sad, contemplating face. But alas, my bloody eyes fail me and I find it a bit hard to pick out the text you have there.” –Caunion the Frostlord
“This has such a unique style! Loving the texture used and the various places where the lyrics are placed.” –Lithium
“Alright Gil......this is just amazing! *gapes* I looooove it! I just love the style of all your graphics, and how you color them! I hope to someday be as good as you! Excellent work my friend!
” –Elven Archer
“Gorgeous blend! That is mostly all I can say! I love the blending, its really creative! The text is really beautiful, and I love the use of textures! Wonderful job!” –Limwen - Villya
