    Your enthusiasm is not in question. I believe you're a massive asset to the forum!

    If the competitions are poorly patronized, then let them go cold for a while and then bring them back at a later stage to see if interest has improved.

    Personally I feel there are too many competitions for the total number of people submitting entries. If there was ONE monthly competition I bet entries would improve. So how about quietly (or not so quietly) murdering a couple of competitions and allowing the winner of the next comp to select both the theme and the type of competition?

    For what you do here.... thank you.

    This discussion will be resumed at the end of THIS thread.........

    I like Possum's idea, a car painting contest would be epic, might even enter myself...

    That was a really fun comp. Maybe we can do it again in the WOTW or maybe PDNnoob might do it in his comp.

    Thanks Possum, and thanks to all who voted, participated and watched but didn't cast a vote.

    5 people only voted, of course if we eliminate the participants, because I assume they voted.

    Looks like there isn't enough who interested in competitions.

    Yes, I'm concerned about this trend. At the top of the poll it says that 10 members voted. So, with the 5 entrants plus me would be 6 voting. That would be leaving four additional people who voted. So yeah, it does seem that the interest in the comps is on the wane. That being one of the reasons I put the SAC and Photo Manip comps on hiatus. I have brought back the SAC for this week for Halloween, but the fact remains that we have lost a lot of participants from all the comps. Maybe it's time for me to hand things off to someone else that might bring a new energy to the comps.

    Space and Sci Fi Art Competition #17

     

    THEME IS:  Halloween (paint and photo manipulation)  

     

    SAC Comp Rules:

    All submissions must be created in Paint.net with the exception of renders and stock photos when allowed.

    When they are allowed, obviously you cannot use the stocks or renders as your entire submission, so the majority of your image should be created in Paint.net.

    When Theme Rules allow, you must post a link to any stocks, renders, images or parts of images you did not create in Paint.net,

    i.e. fractals created in a fractal generator program or textures created in another program of any kind.

    Minimum size is 800 X 600. There is no Maximum Size.

    Special Rule #5. Do not anger the Possum.

     

    Submission Rules

    All images must be submitted to me in a PM.

    Do no post your image in this thread !

    Do not post your images in your gallery or any other gallery until this comp is over ! 

    I will post your image in the poll, that is the only time your image should be seen before the voting begins.

    Do not sign your image or put any kind of identifiable marker or logo in your image that people will link to you.

    You may post your image on any other website where you are a member

    (i.e. Deviant Art, PdN Fans Forum, Facebook or any other forum or website, just not on this website until the comp has concluded.

    NO PLACEHOLDERS! Do not send an entry until it is a finished product. NO WIPS (works in progress) !

    No images previously submitted will be allowed.

     

    I reserve the right to add to the rules as people do things to annoy me. (See special rule # 5.)

     

     THEME IS:  Halloween (paint and photo manipulation) 

     

    Theme rules: You are to make a space image depicting Halloween using a combination of STOCK IMAGES and Paint.net.

    It can be anything related to Halloween, from arachnids to zombies, (get it a to z :lol: ).

    You may include any other non-space objects like people, cars, boats, trees, possums etc.

    It can be fun, cute, scary, funny, or however you see Halloween.

    You can make a collage of Halloween or even an abstract of Halloween. Just have fun !

     

    For this round, you MAY AND SHOULD use STOCK IMAGES !

    You may use another program to create parts of your image i.e. Apophysis, Gimp, Incendia, Photoshop, etc.

    The majority of your image should be made in Paint.net (unless it's really freakin cool).

    The use of other programs should be limited to the creation of textures and minor elements of your image.

     (Remember, Possum’s have a sixth sense about things like this, do don’t make me hunt you down. 

    So with that in mind, special rule #5 is in effect for this competition ).

    THIS COMP WILL RUN FOR ONE WEEK which is the day before Halloween ! How scary is that?

    (Or until I can drag myself to a computer to close it)

     

    This thread is for entries only ! If you want to discuss this comp, please go to the discussion thread. 

    The Entry period for this competition run through Sunday October 30th 2011 at 8:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. All ENTRIES submitted up to that time will be accepted

    Dang

    I took a gamble on you not logging in today.

    Never mind, 5 great entries :D

    Sorry man. I know I've been erratic on the comps the last few weeks.....months. If it's any consolation, I had a piece in the works and didn't get it done. Maybe we can have a round two for this theme? I think it's a really interesting theme that we could have more people explore. So hang on to that piece buddy, we might have a Rusty Time part 2 !

    i'm not an artist .. i actually just started paint.net a while ago .. i'll take this on cuz i find it fun ! but i have 1 question please ..

    should the image be like just something rusty that looks good or should it contain a lot of (objects) like you written ? thank you ! boltbait.smile.png

    Yes, it can be either. It can be a single rusty object or several objects. It's your interpretation that matters. Just have fun with it !

    We have four really good entries ! Entry period closes on Saturday. Sorry, I put the wrong date on the entry instructions. I forgot I was going on vacation last week. (Really? I know, duh!) Anyway, three more days ! Keep the entries coming !

    WOTW Comp Rules: All submissions must be created in Paint.net with the exception of renders and stock photos when allowed.

    Minimum size is 800 X 600. There is no maximum size, but keep in mind that people will want to look at your image

    and if it takes too long to load, they may not look at it.

    Please try to make your image in the proportion of a Wallpaper, because this is a Wallpaper comp. (Duh!)

    NO PLACEHOLDERS Do not post an entry until it is a finished product. NO WIPS !

    Obviously you cannot use the stocks or renders as your entire submission, so the majority of your image should be

    created in Paint.net.

    Special rule # 5. Do not anger the Possum.

    For more information please refer to this article;

    lol No comment from the Peanut Gallery. ;)

    So, can anyone offer a suggestion? I thought it was up to the winners like the SotW was, but I'll gladly contribute if I may. :)

    Yes, anyone can post a suggestion in that thread, even people who don't participate in the comps. You can find it HERE

    I'm glad you guys enjoyed this theme. I think it's one of those plugins that we are just starting to see the potential. Again, special thanks to Pyrochild for creating it.

    OK ! I've been waiting for someone, anyone, to post comments on the WOTW Theme Discussion thread to give me some help in choosing the next theme. So far, not a peep out of anyone. Guys and Gals, I need a little help here ! I know everyone has a busy schedule. I have a job where I work long hours and very little time to spend on these comps. Any help and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Sooooooooo.......I guess I'll have to pull out the old notebook and figure out something today at lunch and try to get the next round going later today or tonight. So stay tuned....same bat time......same bat channel......I know most of you are too young to remember that, so Google the 1960's Batman TV series and you'll understand.
