1. [Theme Thread] SOTW 1#

    Welcome to SOTW 1#


    Today (23th September 2012) I will give you the theme for the user-made SOTW 1#. The theme is:


    Video Games

    I decided to stick with "Video Games" because you have a large variety of renders and other stuff you can choose from, it's somewhat easy to create a signature with so many possibilities. In other words: You may choose Super Mario, you may choose WoW, you may choose Fifa 2013, the only thing that matters is that it's a video game.

    The SOTW 1#'s deadline is 28th September 2012 [Friday] on 8 PM Server time, then the voting time begins. Send your signatures until then. Send the signatures to ME* via private messages once you finish them.

    If you have any questions about getting resources please visit here*. Also keep in mind that you have certain rules* reguarding signatures. Shortly: Your signature is not allowed to be anything above 500x200. Also avoid plagiarism* at all cost. Words with * next to them means they have a link, check them out if you are unfamiliar with the term or want to know more about it. Don't forget to check the SOTW rules in the spoiler below.

    This is for those who don't know what SOTW is.

    SOTW FAQ:
    Spoiler: Show

    What is SOTW?
    ~ SOTW stands for 'Signature Of The Week' and represents a contest which is held weekly.

    What do I need to do?
    ~ All you need to do is send me a signature you created in the given time and in the respective theme which will be given in the thread in the future.

    Can I send something my friend made?
    ~ Definetly not. Even though there is no way of telling if you made it or not, refrain from doing so.

    What if I'm too late?
    ~ I'm going to give you a last chance. Each SOTW will be starting at a given time and ending at one. So I'll tolerate 10-30 mins after the deadline but not more.

    I've made 2 signatures! Look!
    ~ Sadly, you may only enter 1.

    How do I vote?
    ~ You'll vote in the "Voting Thread" with the vote you are giving and why.

    Do I really have to say why?
    ~ Yes.

    Can I vote for myself?
    ~ No.

    I lost! What do I do?
    ~ Better luck next time.

    RULES:

    1. You may enter with only ONE entry.
    2. You may vote only ONCE. You CAN NOT change your vote for whatever reason.
    3. You may NOT vote for yourself.
    4. Your entry's standard dimension are NOT allowed to be above 500x200.
    5. Your entry and the theme MUST comply.
    6. Once the entry is sent, you may change it ONCE.
    7. Enter with your work only. AVOID plagiarism and copyright infringement at all cost.
    8. Do NOT post your signatures here, mail them to me.
    9. You may NOT put your name on the signature, it MUST be anonymous. I will send you a warrning to correct it if you do so.
    10. You MUST say why you vote for the signature you choose.
    11. Do NOT post your signatures here, if you do so, I will not accept them as an entry. You will have to create a new one.
    12. You may write text on your entry but NOTHING that may reveal who did the signature, so the name of the render, character, fractal or SOTW would be fine.

    THE PROCEDURE:

    1. Once the theme thread is opened you may take your mouse and get to work. Photoshop all you like. Until the deadline.
    2. Once the deadline is over I will not take any signatures into consideration. So keep in mind that you have time to send them UNTIL the deadline, not AFTER.
    3. Once the time passes, I will opet a voting thread with the participants.
    4. Once the voting time passes, we announce the 3 winners of the SOTW in the next theme thread.
    5. /repeat.

    Good luck to all contestants. While i may not be a sig fan, I'm a fan of every form of art.
    I have a question about voting. Will you post all the entries and a poll so everyone can vote 'once'?

  5. Stickied the thread, and I'll submit my entry later on this week. I'm glad to see SotW back up again. :)
    Thanks, I really appreciate it :)

    The voting thread will open with the signatures, and each comment will contain "I vote for blabla beacuse..."
    That's how you vote, you have to say whom you vote for and why.

    Why not make a poll for voting? Just a thought...

  9. I participated in some SOTW a few years back and they did it this way. I just want to continue the tradition. I'd like to know who voted for who and why, that's just how I see it :)

    If many of you guys really insist on doing a poll, I'll make one then.

    A poll may be easier for the voters (who tend to be lazy) and even for you, easier to see who is the winner without having to tediously go over every reply, but then again... it's up to you guys!

    Can't wait to see le masterpieces!

  11. I failed really hard on this one :D Certainly have to do better with the next SOTW.

    Can I submit sig. that I already have made some time ago or does it have to be newly made?

  13. It would be more appropriate to send a sig freshly made FOR THIS.

  14. Guys! Keep in mind that you have only today and tomorow 'till 8 PM, don't forget to submit your signature in a private message to me! Oh and btw, will it be any problem for you guys to send me the Render/Stock you used? I want to show people what you guys made from what.

    ~ Yuffie

  15. A little bump! You have time until 10 PM Forum Time so keep in mind! (For those who don't know where the time is, it's at the bottom of the page). COME ON GUYS, WE NEED ENTRIES!
