GRAFFITI BATTLE -
BAPHOMET vs. DARKMANNOR


Ok, the rules are quiet simple.. mostly just so nobody has any unfair advantage.

• colors are limited to keylines (i'm sure you know what that is but for others that just means a thin line of color around your letter outlines)

• Type of graffiti were shooting for is wildstyle peices, not throwups or tags.

• Time limits are not strict, but lets drop ASAP

• use ink or pencils only

• Voters please give brief explenation and REMEMBER TO POLL

And finally, the word is:

MAJOR


PM me when your ready... dont send me your picture, just tell me.. then I'll tell you when I'm ready then I'll post both pictures and open the poll.

This is pretty close to be honest, but I have to give it to Baph.

DARKMANNER - Personally, I like the piece and I don't. The lack of any color let it down, but its nothing you can't look past as a small thing. I liked the style of the lettering, you didn't try to be clever with it. The goon-type dude behind the word and the gun though I felt were a little predictable. Its like common usage to throw up a gun in the mix and it makes the piece lack originality. I do believe that I could work with it and throw up a nice colour scheme on it and it would look dope sprayed on a wall so props for that. But as it is, there is nothing really about it that makes it pop or give it any flare. If you know what I'm saying.

BAPH - A good piece, the keyline was ok but I've seen that whole dripping effect so many times before on the walls. I mean, I honestly haven't seen any real impressive and creative keylines before though. The lettering is fucking awesome. I love it, if I'm being honest. That letter "M" was sick and I don't know if it was intentional, but I like how the "O" reminds me of a horseshoe. Overall your piece stood out to me more, possibly because of the keyline making it have a bit of flare. But also, the lettering I was feeling more than Darkmanner's and I think the gun and shit threw me off of his piece really.

Good shit from both, but I was a little more impressed with Baph here.

dark:
nice job homie. i like the piece...it would look real clean on a wall with color bruh. as far as this battle is concerned though, i think that you rushed your work a little bit. i would have liked to see color detailing the "major" in some manner, but you chose to stick with black and white. real ballsy. i commend you for that. i would suggest that if you do decide on doing a battle piece with just black and white (and grays) in the future, that you overcompensate with the lettering. you have to over-stimulate your viewer. beyond that though, i enjoyed your drop. keep up the good work homie. regardless of any outcomes...we should battle it up soon. word.

baph:
nice...nice. i can dig it. you chose to stay with the classic red highlight which in turn, gave your piece a more dramatic feel. a vibrant look. your drop asks for attention...and receives it. my only complaint is that your piece tends to almost shift from one style to another (which can be do-able) and im sure that that was your choice intentionally. just before the lettering drifted too far though, you tied it all back in nicely and kept it in check. bravo.

my honest vote goes to baph this time around.

keep up the great work gentlemen. you've proven that neither of you are anywhere near toy level...so i look forward to seeing much more from both of you in the near future.

and to whoever i do battle...i want the option of more colors. this one color thing seems far too limiting. we'll discuss it further though when that time comes around.


the super

Both look sketchy but I'll give it to Baphomet for more detail.

I like the A, locks in with the rest is what seals the picture.
