Discuss Monthly Image Contest for April

[color=red][b]Okay, I'm really retarded. This is for APRIL, not May. Idk I had a brain malfunction or something...:rolleyes:[/color][/b]
[color=#3333FF][size=1][Fixed it for you. ~Trotter][/size][/color]
Okay, I figured I'd take the initiative and start a simple contest to get interest flowing again. I hope we get alot of participation so we can keep doing more contests.
[size=3][b]This contest will be kept fairly simple. We're going to do another Sig contest, this time with a few more restrictions.
-Sigs [i]MUST[/i] be regulation size of 468px by 120px! No more, no less!
-Keep file size below 150kb
-Sig must be brand new. Do not enter your current sig: This defeats the purpose of having a contest.
-Do not use a sig you entered as your sig in the forums until AFTER the vote is over.
-No animations this time. Sorry.
-No profanity may be used.
-No obscene/pornographic images may be used.
-All work must be original. Don't steal other people's work.
Thats about it! Simple, right?[/size]
All entries must be made in THIS thread by 12 am Midnight April 25. Entries made after then will not be counted. Please post ONLY the image and software used. All other posts (unless it has a valid question attatched) will be reported for deletion. Voting will be on April 25 through the 28. The winner will be announced then and (hopefully) another contest will be started. Any questions PM me and I'll try to get things figured out![/b]

that might get more people to participate...
in fact... I'm going to post one in the OT forum...
EDIT:
rediculous!!
I can't believe nobody else has posted yet...

Posted by: HAVOC
I can understand no more, but no less is pretty stupid.
All sigs don't have to be 468x120???
I've give it a shot.

Please read the contest rules. This does not count as an entry.

dam.

Sorry, I didn't see this until today.
A quick 20 minute job. Didn't feel like putting much effort into it, and decided to go with a theme that almost everyone likes (instead of anime...haha).
I don't like how I did the text, but I got lazy.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 was used.
The size limit killed the fun for me. I like to go with small sigs. Usually 300x110.

This is sad, i was hoping that more than 4 people would enter. Is there any way we could convince more people to join? :(
Posted by: Juice Daddy
threaten them?
Posted by: joshd
hmmm.... maybe a tempory sp? 2 week ban if they dont enter? that would get them going.
Posted by: FireFox
I'll make another if I get around to it....
Just threaten that for every member that doesn't enter that God will kill a monkey. That'll get 'em moving.
Posted by: joshd
everyone put 'COME ON!! enter the image contest!!' in their sig!
Posted by: Juice Daddy
good idea
Posted by: talldude123
Same picture as my sig, just modded.
Microsoft Office Photo Editor XP used.

Also:
If anyone has any ideas for the [b]next[/b] contest, PM Me or Jaksback! :D

Just a reminder!
All contestants who made multiple entries need to pick just ONE entry for voting purposes. I tried to think of an effective way to vote on all entries, but I couldn't. (actually, if anyone thinks they have a good way to vote for all entries, let me know)
Pick out the one you want and PM me with it. I'll be starting the Voting Poll tonight at 12am EST. Any entries turned in after this time will not be accepted.

Tonight I will be posting the Voting Poll for this contest along with a thread for the Rules and Regulations of the NEXT Contest. So Be on the look-out for these threads!
Thanks! :D
[size=1]names in red are people with multiple entries.[/size]
Posted by: joshd
oh is it only one entry?
i will go for the 2nd one you posted please. with the rings and water.
OR, for multiple votes, total votes divided by number of entries.
Posted by: MrZucchiniHead
dang i was gonna make one, im kind of a photoshop noob, but my friend mike's dad is a real pro and he is teaching me some sweet stuff.
there better be one next month, im gonna read all the guides i can and learn as much as i can for next time.

If there was some sort of guarantee that each entry would recieve several votes, then this would work. But the voter turn-out is an unknown variable and should be dealt with as such.:)
If say:
thebleakness entered all three images, but only recieved 3 votes (one vote for each image) He would officially only get 1 vote even though he really got three. :confused:
I think that one entry per-person will be the best move for now.;)
Posted by: FireFox
Yea, here's one I just worked on. Meh, I'll make up my mind in a lil bit.
Photoshop CS2 was used....did something way different from my usual style. This took about 10 minutes...not much effort.
