Possum Roadkill

As you might have noticed, I have put up the comp for the WOTW awards creation comp. I hope all of you will enter so we can have some great awards created to vote on and have the best awards ever !

Theme is " WOTW Awards Creation Comp " I want to change the awards that are given to the top three winning entries for the WOTW comp.

So, I would like for you to enter awards for each of the place rankings, 1st is blue or gold, 2nd is red or silver, and third is green or copper. You can make the awards the size of an avatar or the size of a sig (see size limitations above). You may use text or any other effect found in Paint.net including image modification. DO NOT Post your entries in this thread. PM your entries to me and I will post them as they come in. Entry period for this competition will run through 8:00 p.m. Friday evening (December 10th, 2010), U.S. Eastern Daylight Savings Time. All submissions entered up to this time will be allowed. If you have any questions, post them in the Discussion Thread or PM Possum Roadkill. I would be happy to help anyone interested.

Seeing as there are no objections, and that so far everyone seems to like option 3 (3. Another option would be to combine the WOTW with the Space Art Comp, Photo Manipulation Comp, and add a category or two and have a revolving theme/style comp and eliminate the other comps I run.) I think it's time to make the change. I'll get something put together soon.

Anyone else have an opinion on the proposed changes?

Very nice work Rachel ! Welcome to the forum.

Beautiful and detailed tree Oma !

I would also like to have a comp to create the next set of awards for the WOTW, so be thinking about what kind of design you would make. It will need to be avatar or sig sized so people can use it on this forum. You will need to make awards for each of the 3 places, 1st blue, 2nd red, and 3rd green. I'd like to do this comp in the same way the WOTW is done, with the PM entries. Let me know if you are interested, maybe we can have this comp this week.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I would like to change some things in the WOTW to keep it interesting. Here are some of my thoughts... 1. One option would be to have the winner choose the theme ( cars, landscape, space, animals, etc.) and I would assign a style to that theme to make it more challenging. The styles would be selected from these categories; Abstract, Realism, Surreal, Typography, Still Life, Landscape, Pop Art, Folk Art, Photo Manipulation. 2. Another option would be that for two days I would accept themes by PM so the suggestions would be secret. Then the members could vote for the theme they think would be the most fun and challenging. The theme with the most votes would be chosen for the next round of the WOTW. The second, third and fouth entries would go back into the suggestion box for the next week's vote along with any new suggestions. 3. Another option would be to combine the WOTW with the Space Art Comp, Photo Manipulation Comp, and add a category or two and have a revolving theme/style comp and eliminate the other comps I run. 4. Or I could just leave things alone and keep things the same as they are. Sooooooo............what are your thoughts on these ideas?

How soon? It's been days now.

Just a thought, but if you posted what you have now, maybe it would give some people an idea and they might enter.

Thanks, I appreciate that you enjoy my work, but you don't have to feel that way. We all start out some place. Just let your imagination guide you. If you work through the tuts and ask questions, the technical stuff will take care of itself. I don't know why, but my photobucket seems to be acting up and won't open many of the images full size. I'm working on getting them all reposted. It just takes a long time.

I don't know who made the first entry, but it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. :music:

Or maybe we could be allowed to enter more than once? I can do these all day long, they are so much fun. Come one everybody, it's fun and easy. We need more entries !

Can anyone guess who made each of the entires? It's a pretty amazing bunch of cars.
