Well I figured 8.30 is about the earliest we do it, so it would be safe to get entires in before then. Any later and you risk missing out.

What types of programs are you guys using? How are you able to "draw" these sort of pictures? Is it pixel by pixel (I doubt it, but there may be some hardcore guys out there ) or what? Also, what do you mean by render?UMSL

Most of the people here use photoshop , if i'm not mistaken :)and i don't think that someone would make a sig pixel by pixel lol :) that would take hours of hard work and precision :)a render is a cut-out piece of a wallpaper or other kind of picture, renders are often used in sigs or other graphical artwork.

A render is a 3D object you can rotate within an image editing program. A stock image is just a 2D picture.I use Photoshop CS3 Extended fyi. I used to have CS2. You can always try MSPaint!

lol, MSPaint would be killar and you'd have to be uber 1337 or something... I use Gimp 2.2. I chose it for it's animated .gif editation. But I'm finding that it has plugin's to generate cool stuff. Has anyone tried the free-ware Gimp?UMSLEDIT: Stupid double posting fixer!...lol, I got in on the Abstract six min. before it closed... stupid cookies not letting me in Photobucket...Also, is there a max on the length for the sprites?USML

Posted ImageThis is an abstract piece that I feel represents the emotional turmoil one experiences when forced to deal with the constantly shifting paradigms that modern urban life invariably brings about. The somewhat faded colours give the image a deceptively soft and amalgamated feel, which when contrasted with the asymmetry brought about by the straight, even lines gives the beholder an impartial view of the chaos and cultural clash that are so rampant all across today's world. Moreover, the increasing complexity and intricacy of the lines toward the center of the piece, as emphasised by the dichromatic 'frame' that invites the eye to delve further into the illustrious depths of the apparent chaos depicted by the image -- further accented by the gradual increase in intensity of the colours, culminating in a shade of red that is not quite unlike that of dried and congealed blood, which causes the beholder to contemplate further about what it might represent -- firmly brings the viewer along by the hand and forces him or her to consider more thoroughly the inherent disharmony of our environment.I hope you appreciate what I have created here.It's not often that ones such as you are graced with such artistic perfection.

You really know how to BS your way into making it seem better than it is, huh? :)

That require some obscure theme that no one would know what to do.For example:
  • division by zero
  • a klein bottle
  • potpourri
I could be proven wrong though.

potpourri

That's a brilliant idea for a theme, by the way. You should suggest it.

Okay! I suggest potpourri for the next SOTW theme!!! Even if it does, by some evil god, become the theme, I admit I have no type-able answer let alone a sig to respond with.

Good job, spleen, you might as well have just made it set render and saved everyone five seconds of Googling. :|

Read the rules.* you can NOT edit your postYou edited it. Removed.

VG, I swear, you are a pretentious fucking idiot. First of all, we have exclusive VA mods for a reason. They were chosen because they now how to handle VA. We have an exclusive SOTW mod. I assure you these people have a better idea how to handle this than you do. If you absolutely must edit, add a freaking line at the bottom and deduct points or something if you want, don't remove the post entirely. If you must remove the post, don't act like a jackass while doing it. The people that do the actual judging are fully capable of excluding the guy. It's not like he was about to win anyway, so there was no point at all, just let him be.I don't know how much the no editing thing is in effect anyway. It's entirely possible and not very hard to change your sig without editing your post, so no one cares much about this rule. It's always been kinda dubious, and frankly I still don't really see why it's in place.

The rule is in place still, but it's been stated that you can just post again and the new post will get taken while the old one will be deleted, that's the end of it, if you do it right of course.
