GIMP is free. Most people use Adobe Photoshop which you can buy for an obscene amount of money... or steal off the internet.

I know I'm new and you'll all probably end up disregarding this post as a 'noobish thought' but this post concerns the you can't edit your post rule.It really shouldn't be there, or you should have the option to change your entry if you come up with something better. I know I might be using some what if's here but their all valid points and they can happen to anyone. Generally when I enter a sotw I make a signature within the first couple days if I have to. Then post it for insurance, unpredictable things do happen every day and at times that thing may prevent you from getting your signature entered. Great you just wasted some time on a signature you can't even enter now. Whereas usually that doesn't happen but it also gives the designer a chance to improve on, or enter a better signature which would improve the quality no? Personally I see no reason for that rule and it's just sort of there for the sake of having another rule. Unless it's to keep people from spamming but even then people want to win, they wouldn't take a chance at 'losing' a signature of the week to enter a garbage signature to get six more point things. :|That's just my personal opinion but I mean you guys have fun. :|

There's a rule in place so that you can enter basically twice and we'll delete the first post, or if you want to ask a question you can just make a new post that'll be deleted. There's no reason not to have it either, the insurance is exactly the same if you were to make a new post as edit an old post.

WE INTERRUPT THIS TOPIC TO BRING YOU THE NEWS!uhm, sotw opening and closing day will now be a day later.someone mentioned that for american people, a day later would make it easier to enter, since it'll be there saturday and they'll have time to work on it. unless there are no serious complaints, then this will go ahead. PM me if you do want to complain, and we'll weigh up the pros and cons.I can't see there being any. Thanks! CONTINUE AS USUAL!

Motion? Well, motion means a continuous change in the position of a body relative to a reference point, as measured by a particular observer in a particular frame of reference.In the newtonian model, because motion is defined as the proportion of space to time, these concepts are prior to motion, just as the concept of motion itself is prior to force. In other words, the properties of space and time determine the nature of motion and the properties of motion, in turn, determine the nature of force.In the special relativistic model, motion can be thought of as something like an angle between a space direction and the time direction.An object is in motion when its distance from another object is changing. Whether the object is moving or not depends on your point of view. For example, a woman riding in a bus is not moving in relation to the seat she is sitting on, but she is moving in relation to the buildings the bus passes. A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.Lol, wikipedia. -__-Anyway, you should have effects that display motion effectively. What I did for my sig was motion blurring my gears and putting in clocks. I was quite surprised no one did clocks or gears, in relation to the theme. Maybe I'm the one who's weird. I still have a few ideas left behind though. If you want me to share, pm me.Edit: I believe you should discuss this in the theme discussion thread though.

LOL Dragon. That make me laugh hard. At first I thought you had some ego problem. After which you completed the sentence, and it turned out to be the exact opposite. o.OBut your sig is great, so don't lose heart, you ego-less dude. o.O

Quick suggestion. But if you could add the deadlines to the OP of the SOTW topics, that would be great. It doesn't matter what timezone you do it in. Just be likeDeadline is <date> <timezone>People can google their timezones and compare, it's not like it would confuse and irritate people. Just so I don't get confused as to when it ends and when I can procrastinate til ;D
