I voted r3n - really like his design - but really beginning to warm more to Albino's now... :S
Wish I could vote for two.

maybe we should make a new post just to tell about the voting and we can bump it if we have to but i think more people will wander in if theirs a dedicated thread to round 2 voting, just my 2 cents.
yeah i agree, i dont think many ppl will see the link if its on the 3rd page of a thread
btw lasaire urs is good but goddam it is massive, 180kb,
Yeah, I asked about that and didn't really get a response..I remember KakashiSensei saying for Round1 that the limit was put aside for the purpose of the contest only. If I was actually using the sig, I'd crank down the size, and take out a couple of the frames that only add smoothness, and compress it some more. Since I won't actually being using the sig, :-( , I didn't see the reason to take the trouble.
yeh size doesnt matter as far as Ive heard as long as its reasonable, im just suprised it that big? how many frames?
Well, I posted another thread for voting, but it's in the Naruto Section, so we get more votes.
Thread here
Albino, there are 5 frames from normal eyes - full byakugan (which is one of the thins I would edit if I was making it smaller, it really only needs 3) and 4 frames for the shockwave.
it should be tons smaller then. next time after you make ur base background make it a jpg, and open it in a new file and then add all your stuff that will be changing, that way each frame presents fewer layers and thus ur file size will be smaller, at least i think thats how it works. I do that and use animations of anywhere between 10-15 frames and get much smaller file sizes.
The best thing to try is lowering the number of colors. I bet with 64 you can hardly notice a difference.
Edit: I tried it at 32 colors (no difference I can tell) and its 105kb. At 16 colors (a little difference) it was 75kb.
lasaires and kagari's are so cool >_>
I'd do both lcd's and albino's suggestion if I was actually going to be using the sig, and I'd probably reduce the dimensions down to 400 as well. But, moot point, at this particular moment in time.
Kagari's is kewl.
how did you guys upload your own avatars?

Ok, now that there are only 6 people in this round, do we advance 3 or 4?
If we do 4 then we can have two more rounds. Awarding First Place and Runner Up
If we do 3 then we will only have one more round. Awarding First, Second, and Thrid Place.
Well, either way works for me. Anyone have reasons for/against the number that move forward?

It would depend on how much longer you want to.. or are able to.. keep this running.
IMO, bring it down to 4... but if you don't have the energy to go two more weeks, then bring it down to 3

And by the way, if people want a place to show off their artwork, they can submit it to my site. Just gimme a PM. For sigs, though, you might be getting some requests. I know I've gotten a few, from people not even on these forums.
i think we orginally set it at 4, then a heads up between the two victors of that round. at least that was my intention when I came up with this tournament format, its more tournament esque with 4 advancing. we could also have a secondary bracket for 3rd and 4th if whoever ends up there wants to compete for that place in a secondary round. plus you have a more definitive winner if it goes top two heads up.
Having two brackets would be cool....if 4 people pass round 2, then the top 2 could have a championship round, and the bottom two could duke it out for a bronze!
