Discussion shall go here. But why are you discussing when you should be designing!

Personally, I'd assume that if you had GTA text and a video game car that it would be alright. But I guess I'm not tricky. I'll give this SOTW a try again, but I'm not all the concerned about winning. I just like messing around with junk in photoshop now.

AMEN How do you think I make Anything. My philosiphy is "to design press many different buttons and befriend the ctrl + alt + z function" and I live on that

If its a car from GTA, yes. But any random car, I have to say no. If you want to do a car sig, try looking for like Forza Motorsports 2 renders or stocks.

Eeew.. I hate animation. It just doesn't look good on signatures, for other purposes I guess so.

Well just because you don't like animations isn't a very fair way to judge an image, just to let you know .

I modified the bg because it was a screenie of in-game/it had megaman anda boss fighting, so I had to clone-brush them out. Here's the original image: www.pcze.com/dir/Mega_Man_X3/screenshot2.jpgNow, you also say you can't judge mine fairly compared to the others b/c they're not animated/I didn't "design" anything. Um, I designed the whole animation myself. I compiled the still-frame sprites into an animation. Also, you shouldn't judge soley on design. You should judge on flow, layout, originality. Something my animation also has. As a judge, you have to look at other aspects that are common throughout different sigs. Also, I hate to mention..but the theme is GAMING. And, TBH, mine is the most gaming related of all, because it's more like an actual in-game animation, rather than a still-sig. Now, I should also add, that just because you don't like animation, doesn't mean you should automatically count somebody out. That, my friend, is a biased opinion, and that'll cause people to not want to participate in these SOTW's.

First of all, I'm not going to be judging your piece badly ( If I do ) because I don't like animation. I wasn't saying you didn't design it, I was asking you if you did so I could get a better look at it. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything here I'm just trying to make it more comparable to the other sigs.

Here's my short two cents: It might be a good idea to decide to either not allow animations, or require them. The reason, is it makes things a little lopsided. If they win, people say it's cus the animated and put no time into designing. If they lose, they say it's because the judger was biased towards animation. It's one of those "VERY difficult to judge on" matters for image competitions... Just my two cents.

I agree, from now on it should be specified whether animation is alllowed or not.

Oh..and BTW...for everybody's future reference on the definition of design: 1. to prepare the preliminary sketch or the plans for (a work to be executed), esp. to plan the form and structure of: to design a new bridge. 2. to plan and fashion artistically or skillfully. 3. to intend for a definite purpose: a scholarship designed for foreign students. 4. to form or conceive in the mind; contrive; plan: The prisoner designed an intricate escape. 5. to assign in thought or intention; purpose: He designed to be a doctor. 6. Obsolete. to mark out, as by a sign; indicate. –verb (used without object) 7. to make drawings, preliminary sketches, or plans. 8. to plan and fashion the form and structure of an object, work of art, decorative scheme, etc. –noun 9. an outline, sketch, or plan, as of the form and structure of a work of art, an edifice, or a machine to be executed or constructed. 10. organization or structure of formal elements in a work of art; composition. 11. the combination of details or features of a picture, building, etc.; the pattern or motif of artistic work: the design on a bracelet. 12. the art of designing: a school of design. 13. a plan or project: a design for a new process. So, just to clarify on your previous question, tricky: Yes, I designed the entire thing, according to the definition of design . Not trying to start a fight...just wanting to clarify .

Woo, the sig that I made took 4 hours to do xD. 93 animation frames too =D. I seriously want to see a screeny of 93 Frames I don't think i would survive making what you made. IMO about this whole thing is that it's a VERY good animated sig, which are pretty hard to master. With any win, i'd easily accept it. The Problem is that animation is something else in design. Not accepted by others, but to some people, it's what they can master. Still Tricky is the judge. Not one to argue with, because i trust him with any SOTW decision. If i don't feel lazy i MIGHT enter

This is why I don't see why we just have public voting? Just have ppl say that they're entering... then when the due-date comes, put up a poll with everybody that said they were entering w/ their images in the first post/names as poll options. And just get a code that hides the poll votings from everybody except staff (so ppl just don't vote for the most popular according to votes). So that way the winner is released as a "surprise" =P. Just do...first to 3 votes or something, or leave the poll open for a few days.

I also beg you to be patient. Contests like SOTW, Graphics Battles in the Colosseum, and Index updates will be more delayed then before Also carnage, even though they don't see the most popular one, people can still get others opinions in the discussion thread.

Well what's the point of having a Sig of the Week if it lasts over a week though? lol...kinda defeats the purpose, IMO xD.
That's true, but it'd still be nicer to have an open poll, rather than a thing where only staff can pick the one they like.

Slightly Insane does public voting...I always liked that. Art is all opininated, what looks like crap to one person may look like a masterpiece to another.
