Graphics Battles

[verac the defiled 0]

Graphics Battles, anyone heard of them? You challenge someone to a Graphics Battle and you both create a signature to the desired theme, e.g. the theme could be something like starlight or shadows etc. A render can be supplied and has to be used in the signature. When you win, you get graphics points. Opinions?

Thanks, Verac.

What about the PDN logo contest? The alphabet contest?

I have seen and participated in a couple SOTW (sig of the week), basically you select a theme and set a deadline then at the end take votes. I was actually thinking about starting one here recently but never got around to it.

Yeah I think we should start a SOTW, like on Runescape Community (sorry i used to play that game a lot).

Do we need Ricks approval of a SOTW (Sig Of The Week) competition? Or even a Mods?

[barkbark00 3]

nope, not here in the overflow.

I think it should be a monthly/bi-monthly contest instead of a "Graphics Battle". That way you have more themes to work with (like modifying cars or creating an artificial tree).

EDIT:

You can also base competitions on one single image. Like feathering an image that needs anitaliasing or cutting out an object and putting it into a transparent background. Oooh! Or coloring a black and white image!

Great ideas there usedHONDA, I think we should open the POTM (Pic Of The Month) thread.

[Crazy Man Dan 18]

Go for it! I look forward to crushing you all... :twisted:

[usedHONDA 4]

Oh, you didn't get the memo? It was secretly agreed that CMD isn't allowed to compete.

[sarcasm]Bah, he's not THAT good. I'd just like to see him draw a better cape than the one I drew on my dog in the lightsaber thread.[/sarcasm]

In case you haven't seen, click on my link to the Wikibook in my sig. The big logo was made by CMD.

[jake2k 7]

well we could do a sotm (sig of the month) and a pmc (photo minipulation contest) aswell. Then we open another thread and take suggestions from people as to what the theme should be.

I'd rather have one monthly contest. Less work. Less stress. More competition. More themes to work on.
