Djisves Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I wished for a certain member be banned from the competitions and, voila, his entries have disappeared! I feel like Bruce Almighty!

Pixey Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Sorry to be a party-pooper @Djisves and @LoudSilence but please read the following: 2. Your entry must be 100% made using Paint.net. Don't use another image editor. Don't use stock images/photos/textures (in full or parts thereof.) In the OotF competitions (unlike the SOTW), no outside icons copied from another source, are allowed. Everything must be made in paint.net 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

LoudSilence Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 @PixeySorry about that, I replaced it with my own icons that i just made up 1 Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djisves Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Good catch @Pixey, thank you for pointing it out. I posted a new OotF image, all PDN (icons made by me) except for the wallpaper photo which was taken by me. I trust that is allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot - sorry. OotF is a very strict competition, where you have you use your own skills. "Don't use stock images/photos/textures (in full or parts thereof.)" You are making me work 'overtime' today 🤣 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

I would think that means stock images, stock photos and stock textures. I would also think that one can use self-made photos just like one can use self-made images and self-made textures. Still, you're the competition host, so surely you know better. I deleted my second entry too. I don't want to cause any trouble @Pixey and I apologise for stealing your time away from PDN fun. To my defense, my self-made photo was edited with PDN 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if you make a texture in paint.net that is fine. It is no bother 'stealing' my time. This is my job and I don't mind answering questions at all and I apologize for being such a pain pointing out the rules 😉 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Djisves Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 No need to apologise for doing your "job". So long as the rules are clear and applied to all, I have no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 @Ladybug I have just PM'd you regarding an entry - the cat photo - and hopefully you get this before I put up the Poll.

Djisves Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I enter the competitions for the fun of it and to do my two-cents' worth for the forum. However, some things bother me so much I just can't ignore them. One such thing is that there seems to be something wrong with he forum software that counts the votes. I have just voted for the current OotF competition, the voting post says that 1 member has voted, yet I see two entries with two votes each. It seems like the forum gives some entries a head start.

Pixey Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 @Djisves I have noticed this 'quirk' in the past as well.

The number of votes each entry gets is accurate. The number of people who voted is off. If you refresh the page, it should update that number to be accurate. 1 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read this originally but just kept going on the design of the phone and was all focused totally did a ditz move and put in the cat.

Vagabondi Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Dear Boss of the Objects - @Pixey - History knows examples when we were allowed to use black instead of transparent. ("Flames", to name one.) 😏 What do you think about Planet or Moon on the simple black background? Formally breaking the rule would make our entries look more expressive and authentic... Of course, if not -- then not and no problem (and best wishes to you anyway). Just my two cents. 💜 PS. Absolutely love the topic!

Any pointers? 1. Select your planet. 2. Add new Layer. 3. Effects > Render > Random Shape Fill (from this pack). Shape = Circles, Number and Size = up to you, Fill Color = Primary, Outline Color = None. 4. Effect > Distort > Dents (Refraction about 2-3) to slightly change their shape. 5. Gaussian Blur = 2. 6. Effects > Object > Bevel Object (Depth 2-3, uncheck "Keep original image"). 7. Adjustments > Invert colors. You can adjust their opacity (Layers properties menu) and add some form (Effects > Distort > Bulge 10-20) if necessary.
