Crazy Man Dan Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 This weeks theme, as chosen by last weeks winner Helio, is Winter. It's time to announce the winners! So... Here are the winners: 1st: cjmcguinness 2nd: olav.k.m 3rd: Andrew D, david.atwell, TheVoid (Three-way tie for third; 2 votes apiece) Thanks to everyone for participating, and a bigger thanks to everyone who voted! We could still use some more, though - The low vote count is what leads to these multi-way ties. It's surprising that on a forum with over 5000 registered members, we can only eke out 16 total votes, but to those of you who did send in a vote, thank you. On to the next one, eh? :wink: Head over to the discussion thread and chat about ideas for the next theme. cj will be deciding the next one. Jolly-o! ------------------------------------------------------------------ It's voting time again! Below you will find a consolidated listing of the entries from last week, headed by the artist's user name. Click on the artist's user name to jump down to their original post to read their explanation and view any stock images used. Look through the entries below and pick out your favorite. Once you've decided, send me a Private Message with the name of the artist for whom you wish to vote. As always, voting is open to everyone, whether or not you submitted an entry, with one submitted ballot allowed per voter. All I ask is that if you do have an entry in the pot, please don't vote for yourself. :wink: Voting opens now, and closes at 11:59 PM PST on Thursday the 20th of December. To see the current time in PST to compare it with your local time, click here (WorldTimeServer.com). In the mean time, head on over to the NEW! discussion thread and chat about ideas for the next competition topic.

Send your vote to CMD! Include the name of the person for whom you wish to vote, and leave the tallying to me! Winter is the time of year when you freeze your butt off! Well, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere it is. It's also the time of year when you charge your credit cards to the max buying gifts to help celebrate holidays 'n such. This week, your sig should represent what winter is to you - meaning either the weather or the holidays we celebrate this time of year. If you have any questions, or you wish to comment on an entry, then the discussion thread is where you'll want to be. The deadline for this competition is 23:59 (11:59pm) (PST) on Sunday, December 16th. To see the current time in PST to compare it with your local time, click here (WorldTimeServer.com). Check the SOTW Rules! If your entry breaks any of the rules it will be disqualified. ------------------------------------------------------------------ [*:1plexba4] Max sig dimensions follow the board's max sig dimensions, 500x150. [*:1plexba4] No crude / offensive language, pics, et cetera. [*:1plexba4] Sig must follow the set theme. [*:1plexba4] Only one entry per person and no modifications to your image are allowed after submitting your entry. [*:1plexba4] You must post the URLs to any and all stock images used in your sig. [*:1plexba4] You are allowed one post in this topic. That post should include your sig, links to your source images, and, if you feel so inclined, a hearty bowl of soup to keep me warm 'n toasty. Placeholders (empty-posting now, editing in a link to your sig later) are not permitted. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This thread is for posting your entries only! If you wish to talk about one of the entries you can do so here. If a comment or other non-entry post is mistakenly made in this thread, it will be moved without penalty to the discussion thread. Just don't be surprised when it magically jumps over there. :wink: Good luck all, and thanks for playing!

Andrew D Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Here's mine. Stock images are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MountBlanc03.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Windbuchencom.jpg Anyways, stock images were fed through a glow and Soften Portrait, I then used the gradient tool to cut off parts of the image, then used the brush to create snow, glowed and then blurred, then used a border of blue blurred with a pixel border of a slightly darker blue, then to end off I used a font and used Outline Object with black to make it readable.

pyrochild Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 No source images, 100% Paint.NET goodness. Love Like Winter is a song by AFI from their album, Decemberunderground. The script in the top and bottom is lyrics from the same song, written in a Tengwar script (One ring to rule them all...). Oh, and I think that #AAECFF is now one of my favorite colors...

cjmcguinness Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Wow, thanks to all who voted for for me; I'm flattered. Good job everyone, I really liked olav.k.m's sig (got my vote), one of my first ideas was to try and do a snowman made of stars (like a snowman constellation). So, without further ado let's hasten to the discussion thread and get things moving on SOTW #13 (or should it be SOTF Sig Of The Fortnight?). -CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
