The theme and graphics are by me but assistance was needed with the layering. I guess since I needed help I don't receive full credit, don't I?
I better put that in my sig...

If your sister is a member here, you two can participate as a colab.

Or you could just credit her in your submission...

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. :) )

I didn't get the sense you were arguing with me at all. xD Some very valid points you've got, especially on Phanima's text. The comments on the text totally flew out of my head when I said people didn't care about the text. x_x I'd say it's more how it looks, than what it says though. xD;;

Ah, your second paragraph has a valid point too... xD

It's no different than someone here using a tutorial to create their sig. You can credit your sister if you want to, but you don't need to, and you can still submit your sig, and no one will think lesser of your sig because you got help from your sister. :)

My sister doesn't have an account here...at least, I think she doesn't ^^; I'll just credit her I think.

Mmm...well, it's not exactly like her giving me a tutorial. It's more like, I got stuck on something and she showed me how to do it. I think I'll go and credit her just to be safe.

YOOM-TAH July 21st, 2008 2:07 PM

If that makes you feel better, okay, but like I said, we won't judge the sig less because of that. :P

THIRTY-SIX July 26th, 2008 11:51 PM

Why are these signatures of real people only containing Asians?

Pikabloo July 26th, 2008 11:53 PM

Because I'm too lazy to look for a different stock : D

Dunno about the other people :P

...I swear Munna, if there's even a shred of racism hinted within that statement, I will kick your ass inside out until you can eat with it. D:< Okay, that turned out to sound more hostile than I intended it to. But still. I suggest you paraphrase your statement so that it sounds less frank. ^_^ Oh and to answer your question, all my graphics (or at least, almost all of them), use her or her group's members for renders. <3

THIRTY-SIX July 27th, 2008 1:09 AM

Erm no, you are the one who is thinking it was a racist comment, so technically you are the racist.

evilcheese July 27th, 2008 11:19 AM

Thanks Loki an easy theme because i have over 1000 people stocks =p

Loki July 27th, 2008 11:38 AM

Why are they all asians. Well, that would probably be a matter of stock, or celebrity preference. Coincidental, in my honest opinion. Besides, Beachboy's aren't all asian, and neither is yours, solution found. And it's not like all asian entries is going to kill you; what's the problem here again?

There isn't one.

So let us all shut up about this racist BS and get on with our merry lives.

And you're very welcome evilcheese, I'm glad you like the theme.

I didn't use topaz, and I don't think it is even available on a mac.

Comic Tragedy July 30th, 2008 7:56 AM

What did you use? The ole' sharpen, burn, dodge, blur, then sharpen again technique.

THIRTY-SIX July 30th, 2008 8:53 AM

A bit o blur a bit o sharpen … and reduce noise. I can't use burn and dodge properly… although I did use it on the background slightly. Gotta mess around with the reduce noise settings… it really depends on how high quality the original stock is as well as how good quality the sig is when using that filter.

Comic Tragedy July 30th, 2008 10:23 AM

Yea that is pretty much the universal non user of topaz technique. That is what I did with you're theme I made a long time ago...... But the quality was worse than you're theme because of course of the quality of the original stock.

But great job making that effect.

YOOM-TAH July 30th, 2008 11:31 AM

Topaz opened up so much for me with sig making, because I could take LQ screenshots from IGN and stuff and still make good quality sigs with them.

Anyway, sotw...might change my entry if I find the time/inspiration.

Twinx August 3rd, 2008 3:00 AM

I won't be doing SOTW this week.. probably won't do it again.

I've VMed .freak, but he didn't reply.. so I'm guessing he's too busy to do it as well..
so whoever wants to host SOTW this week, can do it.

THIRTY-SIX August 3rd, 2008 3:05 AM

Are you not even going to announce the winner? .o.
Not even going to create the voting thread? .o.

Twinx August 3rd, 2008 3:11 AM

Can you do it munna?
*puppy eyes*

I'm going through personal problems right now, so I can't do anything. I'm soooo sorry.
*runs off*

THIRTY-SIX August 3rd, 2008 3:20 AM

Sorry I'm far too lazy to organise something like this.
Maybe someone else.

Franceschi August 3rd, 2008 3:37 AM

I'll do it if no one else who is more experienced wants to :]
Twinx ~ Don't worry about Sotw. Personal problems are much more important, seriously :) We don't think any worse of you.

moments. August 3rd, 2008 3:44 AM

I would gladly do it but I do not know how to make a Poll so I dunno if I can...
If someone wants to tell me I can do it tomorrow after school..
I am of to bed though now..

Wish August 3rd, 2008 4:53 AM

I would gladly do it if anyone cannot, but I'm sure one of the mods or one of the people who previously started it could do it.

Twinx August 3rd, 2008 5:34 AM

Thanks for the support Franceschi.. ^^

Inugami, can you do it please?
Don't forget to make the poll public, that's very important.
oh gosh.. and you also have to ask whoever won SOTW for a new theme.

*bands head with keyboard *
I'm out.
