that's not true.. i say only what everyone here doesn't want to say
"taste is taste" is not the correct mentality of someone who's going to vote in the voting topic.... the correct mentality instead of should be "vote with objectivity"

@Andrews, congratulations ^^

@Tsukisama, I'm back, this time with no ecchi girl (maybe next time )
You're a little crazy to think to menstruation ASD, it was more simple to think to vampire LOL. By the way, thank you very much for your opinion :*
[+2 you're a girl!!]

@JinbeiDMaster, thank you very much, I'm glad you like my sig

@|Castigo|, it's true, taste is taste and you can't read in every mind of the people voted in this contest. Maybe next time you'll win, you'll have your chance.

Andrews please PM me for your wallpaper or a sig request. I don't mind if I lost at all I'm glad to just have fun in the contest. While I agree with cast on the subject people like things they can relate to.

Tsukisama's thinking made me laugh! I wasn't even thinking that when I saw your sig, Sasori! But, in any case, your sig is definitely beautiful. AND I'm quite surprised it's not ecchi, (not that I like ecchi) but like you said, "maybe next time".

that's not true.. i say only what everyone here doesn't want to say

|Castigo|, I will not say anything to your comment, because you are only expressing your thoughts. I know what you're saying, and I will respect your thinking. I sound very preachy right now, but it's what I really think.

o0o0oh hello everyone

I've been snooping around these sections for a while now and I thought I finally contribute and give props to those members/artists that deserve it!

Atm I really like bakagemi's, Sasori's and TeAm#7FoReVer's sig submissions

TeAm#7FoReVer - Wow! That sig truly is beautiful and so natural


Good job everyone!

*I might start participating in some of these contests soon *

I do hope that you will participate in these sorts of contests. I want to see what you come up with.

I disagree o.o Everyone here doesnt want to say? I wouldnt vote for Razeus or leaf. I agree they are great artist, but a signature is not just about technique, is about creativity too o.o And I though there were other sig more creativity than those two.
It must be awful to won something and someone come here and say you don't deserve it... Again, taste is taste.

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

well i won't change my mind on the fact that a contest is not made only to be funny, but also an expression of a serious and complete work ( an example could be akatsukinosasori works ). i won't reply anymore so ok farfalla next contest i'll try with your beloved creativity xD

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

If I may I have a suggestion for a theme.

Which I feel might be quite fun for brush usage and such. Its called Live journal style.

Well its basically using brushes and texture to create various effects and such like using picture/polaroid brushes to make a collage of such or using flim strips to give it that flash back look or using zany designs and such to make something unique and creavity. My icon is a example of Live Journal style. I think it would be fun.

Also as a added twist each person must team up with someone and collab on the piece together =3..

If the LJ thing don't work I'm up for a collab theme and such.

I suppose that I have a somewhat odd outlook sometimes ; now that you say "vampire," that does seem like a much simpler direction. Anyway, I still think the sig is very pretty.

Hmm...
Well, that is definitely two separate themes. (I wouldn't put them together.) As such, I will discuss them separately.

I have a couple of reservations about the LiveJournal style theme. The first reservation is that I am not sure if everyone frequents LJ. I have visited it a couple of times, but I wouldn't consider myself all that familiar with its art style. (I have mainly only read blogs on it.) I wasn't aware that there was a specified style for the art on that site.

Secondly, the art concept, as you have described it, still seems a bit too vague. The first two parts of the description (the picture/polaroid brushes and film strips) sounds like it could be possibly be a theme idea (e.g., maybe a photography theme), but the third part ("zany designs" for creativity and originality) is not well-defined enough to evolve into a theme for the contest. (If you wanted to elaborate on this further and come up with a more concrete pitch, then you are welcome to do that. )

Thirdly, this theme seems to revolve more around the media used than the subject. For themes for this contest, I usually try to focus on the subjects of the works and then let the users express it as they choose. There is much more creativity in deciding the style of artwork than there is in deciding the subject, and I try to afford the users as much creativity as possible.

Again, you can re-pitch the LJ style theme idea in a more well-defined way, and I'll reconsider it. If it is well enough defined and some of the users have interest in trying it, I will probably use it as a theme.

Concerning the collaboration theme, well ... I had wanted to save this for the end of the week when I normally make the new theme announcements, but I was planning on doing this theme.

Discussion of a collaboration theme has come up previously in this thread with positive opinions from the users; so I had just been saving it for the right time. With the earthquake in Haiti and the international community coming together to help, I thought that this would be the best time for such a theme.

So, basically the theme is cooperation (or maybe "community," "togetherness," or "helping;" I was planning on working on the name this week ). Contestants will need to team up in pairs of 2 and collaborate on two signatures that are about working together. Each person will submit one of the two that they work on together, but in the submission post, both people should be credited.

So, what do you guys think about this?

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Actually with that I will make a thread where people can collab with other sig makers.

What I mean is that I will give a sig that is incomplete and link the PSD and someone comes along and works on it to finish it off.

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Actually with that I will make a thread where people can collab with other sig makers.

People would be better suited doing this via PM or some sort of chatting apparatus (e.g., MSN, AIM, Skype, etc.), but if people express a need for a thread for this, one will be created.

What I mean is that I will give a sig that is incomplete and link the PSD and someone comes along and works on it to finish it off.

This is what you meant by Live Journal style? Well, you would need to provide a couple of samples for review first.

 

[Razeus]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Well live journal style is basically the use of texture to do affects and such its not really a style ,but more on being colorful XD it's hard to explain really. So disregard my idea.

 

[Tsukisama]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

As mentioned above, the new theme is cooperation! The submission entries must be about working together. Additionally, you will need to pair up with someone to submit.

Unlike what I said in the above post, your team of two does not need to produce a second submission, but you can if you want (just have the other person make the submission post for it).

The idea of working together has been brought up in discussion before; so we'll see how this goes.

Also, be sure to vote for your favorite from the rain contest!!!

 

[bakagemi]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

I voted for Sasori's sig because I just love it! But, I don't think I'm going to participate in the cooperation theme. I'm not good at cooperating, and I prefer to work alone. Sorry.

 

[Tsukisama]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

I had figured that some of the usual people would probably not be so into cooperation, but since it seemed like a good time to try it out (Haiti, another person recently suggesting a collaboration contest, etc.), I thought I would give it a try to see how it is received. Thanks for giving your opinion on this though, as it helps me to determine whether or not to do another collaboration contest in the future.
