But its a sig not a "template it really requires no skills what so ever cut and paste these should not be aloud since they can be made in under ten minutes which is considered "rushed" you have to put an effort in to everything no template nonsense next week seriously......
Then it really isnt a signature of the week contest, its an eletitist only boring squares of the week contest then.

and that is what a sig is
No, its not, a sig is a signature.
A signature is that which gives an object or piece of information its identity.
By you guys saying that you'll only allow signatures of a spicific shape, thats like saying, you'll only let people who dress a certen way to go to a theater, or you'll only let things of a certen color into a room or area.
Its narrow minded, predijust thinking that is..

Well understand this if ppl here would take into consideration of how hard it is to make a signature for any reason we would have the greatest site on the planet but frankly nobody but a selected few take the time to make these type of arts im just saying next time he should put an effort and not just him i mean everyone in general just try harder so we don't get these rushed outcomes.yes i understand that but this is for what the users think is the best its about whats appealing i myself unerstand but i must admit dts does look cool but i liked shinras slightly better its what the users picked so thats what wins
Post by: Spidermew on January 04, 2009, 02:01:41 PM
Its not rushed, its clean and smooth.
Yall are forgetting rule number one of GFX
K.I.S.S.
Keep it simple, stupid.
Drowining your pic in various filters dosnt make it better, it makes it busy.
I find DT's easyer on the eyes, its more esticly pleasing
Post by: R.I.C.O - Twon on January 04, 2009, 02:03:58 PM
ok let me have my say if this sig of dts was illegal to enter why was it posted for nomination? also a SIG is anything you want it could be a stinkin sprite if you want if it had to be a rectangle i think it would say that in the requirements for whats aloud but it doesnt also a sig could be just words so this nonsense of dts sig being not allowed is bull and poor sportsman ship even if it was rushed i know that would piss people off but obviously he did something right or he wouldnt be in the lead? maybe thats why he one cause he tried somethingdiffrent than a rectangle?Your say is naive and ignorant. And that is all I will say to your say.
How in the world does it look rushed?Open up your eyes and look
Its not rushed, its clean and smooth.

No, its not, a sig is a signature.What!!! the rules state clearly "The maximum size for signatures is 500x200 or if you have a vertical sig, it can be up to 200x500" meaning the a templated signature will not fit these requirements, also meaning that they are not alowed why not let these types of sigs in you ask? Because there another type of art "template" means premade also stated in the rules "Absolutely NO premade signatures." So i think that answers the question this week is w.e slide by first time but next week plz no templated stuff plz and thnx

If you honestly beleve all the sigs should be kept to the rectangle shape.
You have no busness calling yourself an artist and dont deserve your artist rank. You lack the imaganation required.
Post by: R.I.C.O - Twon on January 04, 2009, 02:13:06 PM
One last statment from me.Really now? Because it really does not matter seeing as its just a couple of stars under my name and a color change on my name. Yes, that is what you get with this title.

Geez , is that what having an artist title by your name is all about ? You just spew out insults at people . Because that's all I've seen from most of the so called artists in this thread do .
Most of them were directed towards knocking my entry or me , which chose I ignore .
But did you really NEED to post this insult to Moonmaster ?
No wonder the artists have a bad rep here .

I'm pretty sure he is just not a fan of Rhino the character . If you look at his first post when he voted , He mentioned the Rhino sig & the Wolverine sig are both nice . But Wolverine's never lose to Rhino's in a battle . Or something like that .
So he actually gave your sig props , Just not the Rhino character .

When running a contest based on your favorite the 99% majority vote will be based on first impressionThats a good point. Yall should do this like they do the pepsi challenge. Dont tell anyone who the sigs are by. Helps prevent favoritism. All the sigs are cool btw.
popularity will always skew the vote but that is to be expected

There is a nice little stickied topic that says SoTW Format.... "No Premades", A template is premade
One can tell the difference between a different "shaped" sig and a template made sig

Last week for the Christmas SOTW . CD & I both used the templates . So if you didn't want anyone using templates why didn't you say something then ? You let those get entered & never said anything about it . You never mentioned anything about my Wolverine sig & you put it in this thread as an an entry . But , now that it has become a favorite , you come up with this ? Seems the rules & what everyone will complain about them is going to change every week .

Seems the rules & what everyone will complain about them is going to change every week .Lol Well lets get to it, let us respond this wonderful paragraph put together by DT:
I've been had a problem with the whole template idea for these Sig of the Weeks ever since the first one when Shinrahunter used it. Why do I have a problem with it you ask, because it is premade (In fact, the one you used I made) and premades are not allowed. But being the nice guy that I am, I did not say anything about it because I thought, "Maybe It is just me", so I decided to just let it go until I feel comfortable with making the restriction. Then comes this Sig of the Week with more people saying the same thing I was thinking two weeks ago. Now I know, it is not "just me". Now I can feel better about not letting people use templates for Sig of the Weeks. If you have a problem with the rules, do not participate. I am not sending you personal messages asking you to participate in these contests. I could really care less if you or anyone else participates or not.
It seems as though (seems=key word) that your head is a little bumped up because you are winning a Infinity Mugen Team Sig of the Week Contest. You know, that is okay though. I guess we all need are egoes boosted by a amateur popularity vote Sig of the Week Contest. I just hope you do not think anyone is jealous of the piece of art you submitted.

You're still missing the point . No one complained about it last week for the Christmas sig . Because a template did not win . But as soon as you seen them entered ever , you should have said these are illegal & you'll have to submit something else . But you didn't . So they were fine until this one is winning . It seems to me you all are just grasping for excuses .
Now as for the ego statement . It has nothing to do with that . It's the grounds of how all of a sudden someone starts complaining about something out of nowhere . I haven't even said anything about any of this for the most part so how is it an ego thing ? There's no rush to this .
Working months straight on a Medieval Spawn character & finally watching him jump around on the screen is a rush . That's a hobby & I do it for the shear enjoyment & that's not even an ego thing . It more feeling gratified you finally finished it .
The only reason I even participated in this was because Shinra was trying to boost entries & sent us all PM's .

DT, I'm sorry I sent the pm to the guys on our team.... if I'd known you were gonna get this much stick I wouldn't have bothered.
Yes, templates are pre made. So are renders, C4D's, gradients and effects.... so what you want us to do now? Video ourselves making our entries?
I don't mind anonimous entries for future comps if that's what you want but this really isn't a popularity competition, just look at MOTVN's post and you'll see good reasons for each entry to win.
If it was favouritism, I should've voted for DT as he's a part of the deviants... I voted Twon, cos I think his Rhin sig was the best.
Iceman voted for me, I actually thought he'd fallen out with me so there you go...
The reason Sub-zero's got such low voting (YES, I know I only have 4 more) is probably cos it looks like a picture of a model on a white bg with some text and a couple of colours on top....... DT's actually looks like more effort was put in.
As for you Hunter? where's your entry? oh that's right, you didn't enter. Says it all.
