[AlbinoFury]

[animeniac]

Good Job everyone! Hopefully Lasaire will do better this time! Btw i voted for u lasaire in round 3. It shudnt be biased because of character choice.

[lasaire]

Yeah, I dunno what's up with that.

Oh well, I'm a bit too busy to worry about it.

[Kagari]

Yahoo! Let the fun begin! I can't wait to choose something....

[PSJ]

good luck everyone!!!

[Toruxxx]

good luck to you four doing it ^_^ cant wait to see what u guys come up with

[r3n]

ive decided im gunna do my pieces on hisoka from hunterxhunter, jst cos hes so damn cool. but havin trouble finding good quality images. ohwell humbug!

[lasaire]

Question:

Since sigs have now been re-allowed, albeit with new size requirements, are we following the new or the old size guidlines for this round?

I myself will most likely use the new guidlines, as I want to enable my entry as my new sig, but the old maximum allows for more space and we've already seen that something as insignificant as character choice can have a great effect on the voting.

r3n, what's your plan?

[littlecooldude]

As I've stated in the rules above, the limit is 500x150, the same as the old board, but since the new rules are within these dimensions you can choose to do either.

[lasaire]

Hmm......hmmmm....can't decide. I want to make good use of the larger size limit but I want to use the sig too. Oh well, that's just me being my usual indecisive self. :-)

Thanks, LCD!

[animeniac]

Just make two different sizes of your sig. One for the contest one for your own usage.

[AlbinoFury]

ive started creating, ive already made 2 wallpapers, probably make another 2 or 3 before entry time and pick the besti/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

btw im gonna use the new sig size for the forum because i want the wallpaper to be the centerpiece as well as i want people to be able to use it after the contest is over (you all have free reign to use anything ive made for the contest thus far as long as you credit me or ask in pm at least.)

if you want smaller versions of the previous rounds sigs ive made pm me and ill shrink one for ya and change any text or anything to whatever you desire.

[r3n]

lol wtf, ive made like no progress, and lasaire i think im gunna do what animeniac said. make the 500x150 one then i like it ill cut it to the right dimensions for forum use.

still have no idea what my layout etc gunna be i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif afraid my input this round is gunna be crappy

[lasaire]

Yeah, I think I'm going to go for the new size -- I really want to be able to use it afterwards.

i really hope it turns out good, hisoka is so damn cool. love that dude.

[Kagari]

Wallpaper really didn't belong in this contest, I'm clearly screwed now...

even if My sig and avatar turns out, everyone is gonna focus on the big wallpaper to vote and I won't stand a chance i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[PSJ]

nah wallpaper isnt that big of a deal to me, for me my vote falls on the one that made the best looking stuff overall. i think sig and ava are more important than wallpaper.

[AlbinoFury]

i just finished my entry ill prob send to LCD tomorrow, so now im winded, thats alot of stuff, im very very happy with what yall r gonna see though i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif now i cant wait to see what everyone else puts together!

[r3n]

finally did some work on my wallpaper 2night i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif doing some stuff that ive thought up, so HOPEFULLY some ppl will like it as much as i do i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[Kagari]

bah, my shit sucks

[littlecooldude]

Plenty of time, just keep messing around with it.

[r3n]

ive not even thought about my av or sig yet lol i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[hiddenpookie]

http://avast-ye.com/sig/gwsighp.jpg migawari's master piece i should have seded it earlier *sigh

[Kagari]

Ok, so i submitted my entry tonight, and I'm pretty pleased with it, win or lose. Can't wait for the voting to begin!!


Also, many many thanks to the great, wise and powerful littlecooldude for being the most epic overseer EVER. We thank you eternally. well, at least i do. i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif

[lasaire]

Also, many many thanks to the great, wise and powerful littlecooldude for being the most epic overseer EVER. We thank you eternally. well, at least i do.

Hear ye, hear ye! AMEN! Many thanks to LCD.

Mine's done, and I'm pretty pleased with it. Good luck all four of us!

[PaD]

When does this start?

[Gods_Son]

Try reading the first post in thread.

[r3n]

k submitted mine now. i actually had to redo my sig cos it was so bad. im pleased with what ive come up with, also had to take some stuff out of the wallpaper cos i thought it was getting too crampt. i like my stuff nice nd simple i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif. neway hope ppl like what ive made and if not, go lasaire! lol

[littlecooldude]

Final Voting!
All the sigs are in, and its time to select some winners
http://www.littlecooldude.com/sigX/
The voting shall be held until Monday evening.

You can only vote for one person, and placing will be determined by comparing the number of votes for lasaire against r3n, and the number of voted for AlbinoFury against Kagari.

[PaD]

Heh, since it's over today I guess I won't be able to post mine ;P
Is there a new Sig competition starting soon?
*Edit*
Kagari holy SHIT.
That's friggin beautiful, and the 500 × 150 is fucking nice!!
Even tho I was a protoss/terran player, I love this !

[Vagabond]

hm weird i can only vote once.

[littlecooldude]

Yeah, conder that your simply selecting the one you like the most, but the ranking will be based on who has more votes in each 'level'.

[r3n]

nice work guys. was expecting a bit betr from albinofury tho i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif not keen on what uve done, shame cos i like all ur other work. kagari, i like how uve done a character from starcraft, v interesting i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif. lasaire as per usual has produced something wonderful, disapointed that uve jst used the same image for all 3 things. ohwell i spose ur keeping a running theme. i prefered to make 3 dif pieces rather than jst use 1 piece of art for all 3. still, good work every1 i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif the best man (or woman i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif) will win!

[lasaire]

Well, that was my understanding of how this round was supposed to run: "create a matching theme of sig, ava, and wall."

[AlbinoFury]

nice everyone! it is kinda weird that we are only able to vote for one overall and not one in each bracket i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif kinda diminishes the reason to have two brackets here.

as for r3n not liking my entry i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif sry, the wallpaper has alot of work into it though their are like no large fma pics out there so the picture of ed was from almost sig size quality had to do alot to make it look that clear. And the wooded trail background keep in mind started out as just a plain real life picture of a little trail somewhere in oregon i think, to get it to look like a painting like that was a new type of challenge for me i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif i like to change up my style as much as possible only through that will you grow.

Lasaire i digged urs lots it seems that your sig style works even better when you have a bigger canvas.

Kagari i dig ur sigi/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[r3n]

mmm fair enuf, i had trouble finding any large pics of hisoka, as id jst deleted all my hxh eps b4 the competition started, jst my luck. at a 2nd glance i like ur sig the best albinofury, and i can see what u mean with the wallpaper, still prefer ur others tho i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif. and lasaires i still think its boring doing the same piece of art for wallpaper sig and ava, but i still think ur wallpaper is beautiful i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[littlecooldude]

Neh, I suppose if you really want me to, I can split up the voting, into two brackets, but we have to start the voting over.

[r3n]

not bothered, the votes are getting spread quite evenly last time i checked so i dont think its like, ppl are only voting for 1st and 2nd place, or whatever. up to you tho i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[L8r]

i thought that we where gonna vote 2 time, first for the 3 place and then for the 1 and 2 place...but no matter.

really liked your stuff r3n really nice

EDIT:

thats what i did i voted for the 3 palce first and then saw taht i couldnt vote for 1 and 2 place

[AlbinoFury]

[Kagari]

Well, i think that the problem with the system is that many of the people are just going to the page and not reading these threads.
people tend to look at the first bracket, vote, and then the second bracket, and vote again. They only realize you can vote for only one bracket after it is too late...if it's very troublesome to split it up, then i guess it's ok, but if possible i would vote for re-opening the polls.

r3n and lasaire have SO many more hits than me and albino, probably for this same reason. i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

as the night goes on im tending to agree

[Assertn]

<testimonial>wow, i completely overlooked that fact...i treated the 4 entries as if they all were in the finals</testimonial>

[animeniac]

i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gifAw i thought we could vote once in each division, so i voted for 3rd and 4th first. But oh well i actually enjoyed r3ns over all else so it doesnt matter much. I expected alot more from Kagari and Albinofury but still good. Btw r3n i love ur sig!

[Gods_Son]

I thought all the sigs were good, and I liked AlbinoFury's the best actually. What more did you expect out of them animeniac.

[littlecooldude]

It should be a little less confusing now. I'm sorry it is kinda wierd, but it would have been a lot more coding otherwise, and I simply didn't have the time.

[AlbinoFury]

couldnt you have just formated them as seperate round dividers? like how the previous rounds are seperated, cause right now the 1st second vote is gonna be skewed. I mean the original intention was 2 have 2 direct showdowns not this overall hobgod of 2 brackets fused at the hip i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[Kagari]

LOL hobgob....unfourtunately, even though I truly appreciate LCD's help (and I know beggars can't be choosers) it is kinda messed up...

[itachi_]

I could vote for two, one in each bracket, Lasaire and Kagari... what issues do you have?

[r3n]

thx animeniac and l8r. i checked the votes again this morning and i can see what ppl mean about every1 voting for 3rd and 4th place and not for 1st and 2nd. so it might be betr to restart the voting, with 2 separate votes allowed.

[Thi3f]

....................

[PaD]

w0w
I think the AlbinoFury wallpaper was great, how did you 'paint' that landskape? You mind sharing some tricks ? ^_^

[itachi_]

You guys, you should've picked someone from Kenshin OVA, that would've rocked.. i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

[littlecooldude]

Alright guys and gals. Sorry for all the trouble, but I only had 15 minutes to code that first vote page. I've split it up into the final round, and the runner-up.
http://www.littlecooldude.com/sigX/
The voting has been reset, now you can vote in both categories. The voting will end Tuesday. I hope this helps ^_^
Once again, Gommen for all the trouble.

[lasaire]

thanks LCD!

[Kagari]

Thanks LCD, even though it was bit more work, I think everyone agrees it will work better this way. Once again, many, many thanks.

[r3n]

yeah thx, i was away for the weekend so only jst got back i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif think its betr this way tho i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

how long is this voting going on for, sheesh i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[littlecooldude]

Well that's the end of the competition!
The ranking goes as follows:

1st Place: Kagari
2nd Place: AlbinoFury
3rd Place: lasaire and r3n

That's right, there was a tie for 3rd place. ^_^
I would like to thank everyone who participated, it was a lot of fun.
I will leave all the entries up on my webpage at: http://www.littlecooldude.com/sigX/
Congratulations to those who won!

[r3n]

lol @ the tie, congrats lasaire, and kagari + albinofury for getting gold and silver

well. that was fun, who's up for another 1?

i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[AlbinoFury]

Recount! i call for a recount! i kid i kid.

another sounds good r3n but how bout a break for a week or two first, so we can get a breather and come up with some original ideas for new rounds etc.

[lasaire]

I'm up for another one, but at least a two week breather, please!

And this time, let's have just one round, winner takes all. So many rounds was exhausting.

[Kagari]

i/expressions/beer.gif cheers to all participants, it was fun! Perhaps I should get a parade. a big, golden parade. the rest of you can all have a float in my parade, but I get the last float. and I will have clowns. and scottish bagpipes. and ramen. and everyone shall rejoice. hurrah!

[r3n]

or not i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[itachi_]

We can make Kenshin TV and OVA sigs i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif why not?

[Uzumaki Naruto]

thats a pretty good idea

[littlecooldude]

I totally agree with the one round idea

[lasaire]

Poor lcd, you must be exhausted doing all the work.


We definately need a month off.

[AlbinoFury]

bah i dont like kenshin, call me weird just too old timey for me. it does have its cool scenes but beyond that not a fan, the tv show sucked btw.

[hiddenpookie]

congrats guys veri nice work keep it up ^_^

[itachi_]

Yeah but albino, I bet 90 % of all anime-people like Kenshin, you're odd i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

Kenshin sigs would rule, specially OVA sigs

[r3n]

was lookin for kenshin a while back, and found 2 torrents on supr for series 1 and 2 but the trackers dont work for me.

[itachi_]

There are many people on DC++ that has them.... I got everything from there, though you should watch OVA first, I got kinda off topic but, as said, kenshin sigs would be great.

[lasaire]

Perhaps we should let Kagari decide the next round's topic, he was the winner after all.

[r3n]

thats true, if any1 it should be kagari or LCD.

should be character specific tho

[AlbinoFury]

I only make sigs over subject matter that I enjoy though, so if its kenshin thats fine and good, i just probably won't participate i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif

[r3n]

think we should keep it to naruto, as its only 1 round and probably character specific. that way every1 knows who were talking about, cos i havent seen any kenshin and im sure a lot of other naruto fans on these forums havent either. but if the demand is great enuf mebe the competition subject matter can spawn out into different anime over time

[Kagari]

yeah, I don't watch kenshin, and since this is a naruto forum I think NAruto chars would be best....so will I seriously get to choose the character? Hrm....

[Assertn]

hopefully i'll be able to join ya guys this month....the projects are startin to pick up quite a bit.....but bah....classes are pointless anyway i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[r3n]

make sure u pick zaku or orochimaru kagari!

[Mut]

i did not like kenshin. except that one where it's drawn really nice (not the 90+ episode)...i don't know what that is called though.

[Kagari]

well, I've got my choices narrowed down to Dosu, Kankuro, Jiraiya or Shino.....any votes or suggestions/reasons?

[Uzumaki Naruto]

a jiraiya sig would be awsome, if not the a shino one would be kewl to

[lasaire]

Jiraiya or Shino, for sure.

[Assertn]

yeah....just make sure to pick one that wouldnt be too difficult to get good images of

[r3n]

DOSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

theres are loads of cool pics of him, every1 has sigs of jiriaya already so thats boring i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif and we can do shino the round after

[itachi_]

Yeah but in the future if Itachi appears we can do a Itachi sig contest, right now there are only fanart pictures out....

[Assertn]

haha you sure? i think dosu would be the hardest to find pics of

[Kagari]

Bah, no itatchi sigs yet...i hate seeing his face in the forum, I'm not technically supposed to know what he looks like...i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gifi/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[Assertn]

even though there's not supposed to be spoilers in the fanart section.....i dont think the mods have been takin it very strict.....ive seen tons of villian pics and other things of the like that could definitely violate an innocent anime fan's mind

[dbz_kidnaruto]

This one is not mine. lol
I just wanted to know if one of u guys could make one for me??

If not its ok lol

[r3n]

theres a thread for sig requests, if u asked there im sure 1 of the usuals wud be happy to help. jst remember to supply links to the images u want used.

[animeniac]

When will the next fanart contest be held?

[Kagari]

good question.....im done school friday, so I can be free anytime next week and on.

[Assertn]

yes well while you're done friday, final exams will be comin up for the rest of us i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[itachi_]

Hmm maybe I can join the contest too, or do I have to have überskillz?

[r3n]

lol, well from ur sig atm, id say you could easily put an entry in and not worry about coming last i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif
