Personally, I think decay was a much easier theme than sin - it must have been a coincidence that there were only two entries ( yes TWO >.< ).I mean - seriously: Theoretically, you just need to use grunge brushes on some random stuff. Maybe that's not a hell of a concept - but it's a beginning.Anyways: I think Spleen really meant sin in its original meaning, nothinggame related (there's even some FPS game called "sin").

I can't believe I missed the BnW contest.. I could've sworn I submitted one..

You did enter, but your entry was deleted right away because we (the judges) are arrogant and ignorant bastards who like to put others through hell. First we destroy your reputation, then we break your will and finally, we discard your body just like the empty hull it has become. You never know who'll get hit next.In a nutshell: We are totally evil, wicked, twisted and - to top it off: We're biased. Now you know what's going on here and can finally treat us with the respect we deserve.

What the hell does this have to do with SOTW ? Post stuff like that in the spam section or in VA requests...

w/e freak it, thats just messed up

It is ? Think again. And generally put in some more thought when you post - overly short and/or contentless posts (like this one) could be regarded as spam. Anyways - participation numbers are going downhill - time for some freestyle :/ I don't like freestyle as a "theme", but most people are just too inflexible and uncreative for anything else *sigh*

You know, it's pretty pathetic how many more people are posting in freestyle than those other themes last week and the week before. There obviously should be an increase, bit this is just messed up.

funny, cuz back in the days *wheeze* when i entered, i prefered the weeks where there was a theme (not freestyle) so i had a starting point, as opposed to making the whole thing up.but yeah, this is no surprise, tho it is dissapointing. oh well. maybe ill have to start with some general themes and slowly get more specific

i will say that i only entered cos i had a sig i had made in a moment of boredom, simply the fact that it coincided with a freestyle sotw, i entered it, though im geting back into gfx so will be entering more often since it seems to be a regular event again :wtf:btw/ I too prefer themed SOTW because of the starting point it gives

damn me and my lazyness/inability to explain things. space as in planets and space ships etc, not "room" etc.actually, do whatever you want, i shuda explained better, if you can justify what you did to be 'space' themed i wont DQ it, but its your choice to take that risk :(

Specifying seems so restricting though! )': I like it when you can do open interpretation and submit something that people will say "wtf" to, haha. But I'm not the one in charge here. I just didn't like using planets in my stuff. :D

thats the whole point, its supposed to be restricitve to force people to try make things they otherwise wouldnt. sure a little creative interpretation every now and then is all good, but if its just bending the theme to something youd usually make anyway then your not really being tested. of course, every now and then the theme will be freestyle to see what people can do given no restraints (at their best)

I don't mind the general restricted nature of it, I just totally rebelled against this theme because planets are just way too trendy. (I mean seriously, I can't handle that much OMGRENDER+BRUSHING or PLANETS+EXPLOSION.) :) Haha, at least I was able to interprete "space" in a new way. Yes, I am one of those people who hate most trendy things in everything.
