Cool.
Well at least Lana, Lance, and Baka being out of it levels the playing field a bit. Still way too much talent out there though.
I'll enter though. And good luck everyone.
Arachnoidfreak
Woot! Contest! Im thinking on stuff to work on. Mine should be good enough to be 'hey cool' but not 'dude you win!' because really good sig makers are gunna be in here. Awesome!

Dang...I coulda won that first one. Then again, a lot of us could have. The sig talent here has come a long way.
DraconaInVolata
ya know, i wasn't going to enter, but now I have a sig idea in my head to enter... O.o
Thorinn

You should have seen the fit he threw when he didn't win....hello Mr Ego
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
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....
lol.... and this one... dare I say it... actually looks girly for once. rofl.

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.
DraconaInVolata
So... we can submit our entries at any point now? lol...

DigiMark007
We have our first entry?
...wow, quick work DiV.
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).

Then just save as high quality jpg or gif use up more KB's and make it look a bit more shiny.

I've not had even one more come close to that. Which is why I've pretty much stopped sig making. I can't beat something I already did and my ideas are shit.

I have a question:
Can there be only one of us immortals?? shock
DraconaInVolata
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 think it's great. Nice electricity effect.

Thanks i love your sig's DC
DarkCrawler
Thanks.
Thunderstrike
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.
Lana
I've a feeling we're going to get a good number of entries for this

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...
). So yeah, numbers have been booming.

Yeah, I suppose it's a loophole-rich guideline. But then I'd just rig the judging so you don't win.

'ello! kinda new, posted up my siggeth, doubt I'll win. I'm fairly new to sigging, but I think that is one of my best yet. I always seem to choose a bad text for my sig...I usually just leave the text out, but this one required it =P

Welcome! Good Luck in the contest then!
Lana
Welcome to the boards and good luck
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!
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

I'm just waiting to some more of my compitition

*pulls our prodding stick and prods lazy members with it*
I know it's still early but that just means more prodding

*gets prodded*
*giggles*
*but still does nothing*
...my current one drained my creative juices for a while. I'd put off homework and make another, but I'm outa ideas at the moment. Thank goodness for the 2 weeks.
Which reminds me, I should thank Lana, Lance, and Baka for doing this. Judging this many won't be easy, so props to you guys.

i will give this a shot i got a good idea but 100k limit is harsh

I think its just to keep everyone under control.

Not to mention it makes it more of a challenge.
7-11
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.
Alliance
my infamous duel

Hummm, maybe if I just make the sig smaller I can fit a trailer in it.....
