OK we have a problem. Here is how the voting stood at 7:00 p.m. Pdnnoob 10 votes Sarkut 5 votes Epic Epiphany 5 votes Possum Roadkill 5 votes Barbieq 4 votes JD Melek 4 votes Soooooo, we have 3 tied for second and 2 tied for third. How about this, I'll drop out (I'm on vacation this week and will be away from my computer a lot) and we'll let the remaining 5 slug it out in the next round? Winner take all! Here is what I want to do. Please PM me with your next round entry and I'll put up the poll Tuesday night after 8:00 p.m. We are going to use the secret ballot so no one knows who made which image. So don't tell anyone what you made and don't post it in any of the forums here. OK? Ready, set, go !!!!

No voting is done in the normal way. The only difference is you can vote for more than one entry if you choose to do so.

POLL ENDS FRIDAY NIGHT AT 7:00 PM EST ! VOTE NOW !!!!

POLL ENDS FRIDAY NIGHT AT 7:00 P.M. EST (Eastern Standard Time) ! VOTE NOW !!!! Round 2 is underway !

Congrats Noobster ! Awesome image !

Very nice wall texture. I hope your brains don't look like that ! It would make a great alien brain texture though.

Love the Impossible Triangle. I ran across a site with a whole bunch of that kind of stuff when I was researching the AOTW "Hidden Images". Simply amazing style of art. You did a great job on this piece. Beautiful textures and perfectly drawn.

Winner is Possum Roadkill ! Runner up is Hexratt ! I'll have a theme together in a day or so. I'm thinking about changing things up a little thanks to some suggestions I have recently received. Hold on to your hats, it could get interesting.

Poll closed. Winner is Possum Roadkill. Hey, that's me ! I'll have a theme chosen in a day or so. We might try something a little different on this next one, so it might take a couple of days to set it up. Must think !

No limit.

and Yellowman and Goonfella?

It's with a heavy heart that I have posted the poll. With only four entries, the poll will close on Monday night. Vote now ! I honestly thought there would be more entries.

NEW VOTING RULES ! YOU MAY VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE ENTRY ! TOP THREE ENTRIES QUALIFY FOR ROUND 2 ! SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME ! GO TO THE DISCUSSION THREAD FOR MORE INFO ! OK, here is what I want to do. Since this was so much fun, and we had such clever and imaginative entries, you can vote for more than one entry. The top three vote getters will go on to the next round, the SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME ROUND. The three top entrants will have four days to create a new entry for submission or re-enter their first found submission for the next vote. The winner of the 2nd round will have not only to honor to choose the next theme, but also design the banner for the WOTW Comps.

Yes, your's does qualify. And is very awesome !

Me too. I can see the thumbnail, but when I click on it, I don't get the image. Could you use the Direct Link code from Photobucket and use the Thumbnail mod in the Other Styles menu? That always works for me.

Yes, I have had that same problem. It's a great program to experiment with. I could make the nebulae without it, but it does add a little something different into the mix. @ Chrisco, you have made some really great fractal works ! I have just made a major update to my gallery's new works section on page 1. I got a little behind on updating it so I have added 14 recent pieces I have done over the past few months. Hope you enjoy.....

This is an image manipulation I did that was inspired by a tut I saw on a Gimp tutorial site. http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp41/PossumRoadkill/Possum%20Art/SinCityPossum_PdN_Sepia.png

That depends. You can use any plugin you wish as long as the object is made up of layers. Like I said in the rules, layers of soil, layers of rock, layers of a cake. If you use the trails plugin and it creates layers of something, then that would be acceptable. Look up the word stratification and see if that helps you understand.
