THIRTY-SIX July 16th, 2008 11:53 PM

Gah, I hate you late entrants.

Pikabloo July 19th, 2008 10:09 PM

Ahahahaha. Yeah, most of the latest entries are great. I'm still having trouble picking which one to vote for :P

Anyway, since I'm too lazy to think of anything creative, this week's theme is Pokémon.

moments. July 19th, 2008 10:12 PM

Well I will have to enter for the first time in SOTW so look out for my entrant! =P

Twinx July 20th, 2008 3:39 AM

Sometimes I tend to forget that this is a pokemon forum D:

Lots of entries in Swords/Blades.. I expect more entries in this week's contest =)

evilcheese July 20th, 2008 3:27 PM

Yup pokemon i can't believe she chose pokemon.

moments. July 20th, 2008 3:40 PM

Pokemon eh?
Well I am yet to make a Pokemon banner so this will be interesting..
Or ugly, I'm not sure really..

YOOM-TAH July 20th, 2008 4:57 PM

Finally someone picked Pokemon. Good job, better be some better sigs than so far. The first two entries are pretty much just screencaps from the anime.

moments. July 20th, 2008 5:01 PM

YOOM-TAH, the rules are you cannot use a previously made banner meaning you have to make it for the SOTW... Unless the rules have been changed, that's how I remember..

Gummy July 20th, 2008 5:09 PM

And there's also the fact that your banner says neither Pokemon nor SOTW. May want to change that before submissions end.

YOOM-TAH July 20th, 2008 5:44 PM

Ahh okay, I'll just make a new one then. Yeah forgot about the dumb text rule too. Alrighty, I'll get on that...just gotta think of which pokemon to use...

It's not a dumb rule. ;/

Wow, Pokemon this week? I'm really surprised. I sometimes, like Twinx, forget that this is even a pokemon forum. XD;

And woahtf at the amount of entries in the Swords and Blades. :oo

moments. July 20th, 2008 7:27 PM

Lol there was a lot of entrants...
So remind me, is the rule that you need to have either SOTW / Pokemon or Your Username in the banner?

YOOM-TAH July 20th, 2008 7:29 PM

Dumb in MY opinion. Maybe I'm more used to graphics forums. It's just most of the time if you have to put the theme or "sotw" on there, it ends up lowering the quality of the tag in some way. For example, I know the one I entered wasn't allowed anyway, but say it was. No matter what I do to add "Pokemon" or "Sotw" on there, it's going to look worse than it does.

Anyway, like I said, not a big deal, I'll just change it once I think of which pokemon I wanna use. Leaning toward Lucario at the moment, but he might be used a lot.

moments. July 20th, 2008 7:30 PM

Are we allowed to put the Pokemon's name instead of "Pokemon" on the banner?
It will be easier to fit in and is kinda the same thing..

Better just stick to Pokémon Kuggles. But you can always add any other text.

^ Which is why I personally like having the option of putting our usernames on it instead. :|

It's not necessarily dumb though, in sub-GFX forums like these, we usually have a harder time weeding out stolen tags than in actual forums, so it's easier to designate that the tag was yours to begin with if we require something consistent on all of them... Is my best guess as to why we even have to have something on it in the first place. :| Eh, can't contradict your opinion though, since I agree, in a half-hearted kind of way.

Oh well. Just do what I do and get rid of the text outside of the entry. xD Nobody really cares about 'SotW" or having the theme name in the banner when it comes to the competition anyway.

And I've learned that following the theme seems to matter more than the graphic itself. :/ Which is irking, but so says the masses, so says the artist.

You're probably right about the ripping thing.

But I wouldn't go so far as to say that people don't care about the text on there because look at the current one being voted on. There were people who didn't vote for Phanima's because of the text, which was clearly only there because it had to be.

As for the last statement, I suppose that's true, but to me that makes sense, to an extent. I would say it ultimately comes down to what sig looks the best, but if one sig is graphically better than another, but really doesn't do much to fit the theme at all, and the other does way more, and it's close enough graphically, I'd say it should take the cake. Case in point, again, this week. I think Capitano's is the best graphically but it pretty much almost says nothing to me about blades. The way the render's cropped you can barely even tell that it's even a blade in there. Phanima's on the other hand is not far off in terms of graphicality, but it fits the theme WAY better. The focal point is the blade itself (and the effects around it, which are awesome IMO).

(BTW not arguing with you, just discussing. :) )

True. Just look at my insanity entry. It's a hell 0 when it comes to actual graphics and design, yet it fit the theme perfectly. (Short by a vote D8< !?!?!) *shot* So yeah, I would agree Lowkey.

I'm also surprised with the theme. I would of sworn Macy would select profitz. :P Maybe I can jump in with another paint banner. *shot again*

THIRTY-SIX July 20th, 2008 10:50 PM

Hmmm… gueess I have to create a new one too then. o.o'
There is no rule for when you make it right?

I just realized that the rule is missing D:
I'll add it.

YOOM-TAH July 20th, 2008 11:46 PM

Alrighty, changed my entry. It says "sotw" in the bottom left corner.

MaJuSe July 21st, 2008 1:07 AM

Ok, so where exactly do we submit out sigs? -feelslikenoob-

Thankies! ^w^ I'm still unsure if I should submit my sig or not being that credit doesn't entirely go to me, my sister had go and buy me the program, teach me how to use it, and get me started...

moments. July 21st, 2008 3:09 AM

Well she taught you how to use the program, but did you make the banner by yourself?
