After discussing and conferring with Traxata in the shoutbox, I've decided to start another sig competition. I think BiG_D tried to get one going a while ago, but it never really took off much, mainly because very few people participated, or at least the people who did never got round to making one.
Anyway, the reasons I want to get started on a new one are:
- I like sigs. Fairly easy to create with the right tools, but very stylish when you get it to go right.
- I'm not very good at them and I'd like to get better.
- Sigs are very stylised, personal pieces of art, usually incoporating something that the artist identifies with. In that respect, it's nice to see other people's concepts and designs.
OK, the aim of the game is to put your all into a sig (or any number of sigs) and post them up here. Once we've got enough sigs to start the competition, I'll make another thread with a poll where THN members can vote for their favourite. The sig with the highest no. of votes wins. I'll give you rep, but probably the most important thing to take away is the pride!
Rules: You can use any tools or software you like (Photoshop, Bryce, Flash, 3D Studio max, whatever...), there arent really any restrictions. I only ask that the sig is your own creation, nobody elses. Please don't ask one of those online sig-maker guys (a la Trax) to make one for you, it spoils it. That said, if you yourself make a signature for somebody else, and you're impressed with it, it's fair game.
Oh, and no ludicrously gigantic sigs; you should be able to work out what's reasonable and what isn't.
Right, now with all that said, the likelihood is that nobody'll end up making any and it'll fall through in that event, I'll continue to use this thread (as can anyone else) as a repository/gallery for finished sigs.
EDIT: One last thing! I've already committed the sin twice myself, but if possible please remove your own sigs from your posts to save the thread from becoming cluttered. danke!
Okay! Hope to see some people putting an effort in!
