I'll enter though. And good luck everyone. smile

Arachnoidfreak

You should have seen the fit he threw when he didn't win....hello Mr Ego laughing out loud

I'm still rather fond of the sig I made for that contest, I think I did end up using it even though I changed my username midway through the contest stick out tongue

DraconaInVolata
lol. this is sad... i'm already almost done with my submission... but i'm afraid of submitting it when I'm done cuz I know everyone else is so much better.... embarrasment lol.... and this one... dare I say it... actually looks girly for once. rofl. roll eyes (sarcastic)

lol. TOH's was league's beyond most of the others in terms of polished-looking and cool in that competition anyway. Cool Dodgeball sig, no doubt, but certainly not assured of anything.

DigiMark007
We have our first entry? confused

...wow, quick work DiV. smile

This should be fun to watch, even if I don't enter. Stupid high file size limit is what's bothering me. More freedom is bad for me and good for pretty much everyone else. I think I do my best work under about 30-40KB (a necessary evil of constantly working with KMC's limits in mind, I suppose).

I have a question:

Can there be only one of us immortals?? shock

I still think Digi should enter. Besides, just because all that KB is allowed, doesn't mean all that using that KB will get someone a good sig. lol

I went ahead and did one. I doubt I'll win, but i figured what the hell.

DigiMark007
You people and your early entries....we have till the 16th, for gosh sakes. Even if I had the time to whip one up right now, I'd wait a week or so before submitting it.

Meh, but I guess someone needs to get the proverbial ball rolling, so whatever.

And nice job to everyone who's entered by the way. With any number of entries, this will be a fun competition.

Indeed. And I've started somewhat of a GIMP craze over in the comics section. There's at least 4-5 new people using it in the last month or so. We're tentatively planning a comic-themed sig competition in a couple weeks too, exclusively for comic sig makers and/or regular members in the comics section (not to be elitist or anything...we just don't all want to get pwned by all the regular sig makers who are sweet... wink ). So yeah, numbers have been booming.

Welcome! Good Luck in the contest then!

Lana
Welcome to the boards and good luck stick out tongue

The "your name's gotta be on there" is really just for a security measure to be sure no one's entering a sig they didn't make. Normally....no one could care less what text -- if any -- you put on your sigs.

Alliance
Nice entry DarkCrawler...it gave me a siezure and I loved it! laughing out loud

Nice work.

Fatal Smoke
This is gonna be quite fun too watch, but i don't think I'll have enough time to make an entry sad

hmmm. *wonders if I'm the only one that knows DiV's name*

DigiMark007
Bah, it's just so we don't get some sort of movie trailer like Aurora made for a recent duel. The higher the KB limit, the more it eliminates those whose talents aren't as advanced (with animation and stuff). A lower limit allows more people to have a chance....like me. smile
