This Weeks Theme is – Art Deco And was chosen by – Dug. This weeks theme invites you to create a sig full of shapes and bold colour. Inspiration can be taken From here The deadline for entries is 9:00pm (UK Time) on Sunday 14 April. To see how that equates to other countries, here is a link to the World Time Please take a moment to read the rules below. (If your entry breaks any of them, it will be disqualified and not included in the poll) The Rules: 1. Max sig dimensions 500x200. Please NOTE: The forum limits signatures to 500x150, if it is too large do not try to use it as your sig. 2. No crude or offensive language, pics, etcetera. This is a family friendly forum! 3. Your entry must follow the set theme. 4. Only one entry per person, modifications to your image is NOT permitted after submitting your entry! 5. Your post should include your sig and links to your source images. 6. Use new, fresh sigs. The idea is to get you to create new things, and if you are just pulling out an old one, you are not doing that. 7. No uploading a place holding sig, and then adding a new one later in the week. 8. Very Important - Your creation must be made using paint.net, please don't use an outside image editor / renderer and try passing it off as PDN work. Or it will be disqualified! The winner of the current SOTW gets to choose the subject for the next competition. Good luck to all and thanks in advance for entering. Special thanks to: Sozo (since I’m using a remix of his template) chrisco97, Sozo TheHowler and Nitenurse79 for keeping this comp going in the past. This thread is for posting your entries only. If you want to talk about one of the entries, you can do so in the discussion thread located here..

Nice job pdnnoob, would like a tute on how you did it in pdn, love the effect.

Thanks Barbieq25 and Helen. It was just a play around kind of creation really, I tried different backgrounds and the S3D was a last minute addition, appreciate the comments

The voting deadline is here... And it is now time to announce the winners. Again another close vote. In first place with 9 votes is dug Taking joint second place is Myself (DrewDale) and Daniels with 8 votes each. Joint third place goes to doughty and Minners71 with 7 votes each. Great entries from all involved, well done to the winner and runner's up. Thanks also go to the voters and supporters. I will send a PM to dug and will launch the next comp once we have the topic for sotw#79

New creation on pg1

The reason this time round (I think) is the fact that two people jumped in while a battle was still underway, then one dropped out and others joined in too, making it difficult for people to vote on. Anyway - While I'm here I will vote. Chimay's sig is well put together, great details and depth, but it's just a little too much in a small area, would look awesome in a larger format. Xzerizon - Love the frozen / broken glass effect on your name, nice and simple, minimal colours too, top work. And gets my vote. So the final score for that everlasting round is: Chimay - 2 Xzerizon - 3 Meaning of course that Xzerizon is the winner. Let's see the next entrants and hope for more normal order here

A very nice alien, great details and good use of light & shade. Welcome indeed, i look forward to more from you

Top work on the zen stones barbieq25, nice use of colours and a really eye catching background too, a job well done

Hi and welcome. What you need to do first is create a new layer - :AddNewLayer: Type on it your text - Use the magic wand - (While holding down the Shift key) and click on one of your text letters to select them all. Then run your chosen effects then click on deselect - :Deselect: (it may be wise to use the feather plug in or AA's Assistant plug in afterwards) Next you need to go to the background layer (The white one) and delete it - :EraseSelection: Then save as your chosen format (gif / png / pdn) Hope this helps you.

Cheers dug. I do enjoy seeing the out come of blending modes, always amazed at what can be done with it.

Top quality new works again Red, Just amazed at the realism of the metalics, I love the little tribal style one too, great depth.

The deadline for entries is here and its now the time to cast your votes. The poll will close at 9:00pm UK Time on Sunday April 7th To see how that equates to other countries, here is a link to the WorldTime There are Ten entries, you may vote for Five that catch your eye. Good luck to one and all, thanks again for entering

Cheers Welshblue, I am of the same thinking. Thanks for the comments RedBeard, indeed clipwarp is a plug-in (a very good one too) here is the link to it with some great examples posted by forum members http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=25860

I don't know how I have overlooked your gallery RedBeard, you have some top class works here, robocop is very realistic, the LP and the cloning work is genius, I'm glad I stopped by to admire your works. Top stuff sir.

That completed work in progress is mighty impressive Daniels, some really neat details there, I love the planet hovering with the text and rays. Top class work sir.

Nice one Sasha. A happy Easter to you too.

Top quality new works again Red Ochre, great depth and detail, reminds me of some of the works that yellowman creates. Love what I see.

Cheers mate, of the two I do prefer the second one.

Thanks barbieq25 & Helen, I like the shades of blue used in my latest two also, nice and calming colour. I just scrolled the page to see the images move hypnotic effect

Oh WOW! Sasha, fragile is a great work, it looks to me like a stage production poster, the velvet curtains effect is really good and I really dig the gold letters on different angles too, nice and subtle use of drop shadow, well made.

Thanks Sasha, Shinichi and Daniels, I'm always impressed at how I can make two images from one, just by using different blends, now if only I could give the turbine a subtle effect of it spinning

Nice work on the galaxy fun Helen, nice and shiny and cool colours

Nice job, some great details there, well done

As nitenurse has mentioned, there is still a battle on-going

Cheers Daniels, A happy accident really, glad you like.
