Sig Contest: Halloween!

Archive: 33 posts


200 exp gifted for first place,
50 exp gifted for second place.
Possible 500 exp bonus courtesy of ianimacy!


RULES:
Umm Halloween related sig, must be YOUR sig at time of entry - therefor it will be resized to forum standards automatically so I don't have to worry about size.

And that's it, Standard forum rules apply, don't get in trouble on my account!

Ummm Edited due date is just halloween day, Let me know if you're working on one Halloween day so I don't miss yours!

Ok go!

Edit:
Wow, next to no interest in this... Sig contest used to be huge here - wonder what happened. Oh well, if less than 5 people enter, I'm just gonna give out 150 exp to the winner... and or sole entry if it's just one.. haha

Yeah it's not really about the exp - it's about the pride of winning a sig contest on LBPC... no easy task mind you! Rhy, you better participate - I will make one too for exhibition.(my first sig in about 8 months - well if you don't count just shrinking a wallpaper <looks at current sig shaking head>)

This really needs Yarbone, someone go dig that guy up.

You should make one too Inan - this board used to have a weekly sig contest and it would get 30 or 40 entries every week. That got replaced by "SIG CONTEST V1 through V6 or 7" which was the UFC (original format) of sig making... a grand tournament open to all comers, where one contestant would be eliminated each round. I wonder where everyone went... I might have to try this again AFTER LBP2 launches, bc they will all be back!2010-10-27 15:33:00

You spelled my name wrong

Meh, I'm not into the whole contest thing~

When do you want the 500?

We should get the sig contests going again. It would be really nice to see them again. I think that they've just stopped and the whole game kind of vanished. I'd be happy to enter some.

Anyway, I'll try and make something for this. It'll probably be simple, hopefully nice-looking, and who knows, without competition, I could actually win...

EDIT: We have a ton of people still around here. We should definitely get it started again.

EDIT 2: No inspiration at all. Sig making is difficult... :/

My bad! I'm lazy and rarely type out entire screen names. You can just give the winner the 500 exp when this is done. I was just trying to stir up the good old days of insane amounts of sigs generated from this community

Eh, here's my entry.

I'm not exactly very satisfied with the way it turned out, but it's all I could really think of putting together for the theme. Didn't really take me that long either. Many simple effects and brushes, not much to see here.

Hey Nice Job - we have an entry! I'm going to extend it until Halloween day just to see if we can stir up some more sigs - So if you want to work on it more or feel like you're getting jipped cause you were rushed, go ahead. But it looks good.2010-10-30 03:57:00

Nah not at all - that's sig making, took a render, cut it up, made a sweet 3D jack o lantern on solidworks, layered it in, painted a wicked sweet border, then dodge burned some other halloween graphics over the top, some filters, a little more border work, and some liquifying of the mid level border... and bam a sig.

what? like

wasn't derived from the cover of the game?

I thought those trees were pretty sweet... BTW that iPhone background is just a lame rip of an old computer wallpaper I used to have

I didn't enter anything in a sig contest, that was just for fun - haha, for someone who always give people trouble for not reading the OP...

EDIT:

But for real, I'm not participating if I'm judging how would that work?

There's nothing in the OP that says contra anything i'm saying though~

All it says is Standard Rules Apply, you should have specified those

Standard usually means your own work :3 but if you make the exception of taking someone else's Original Work (because that was 'fan' made, not made by/for a game) ok, then maybe you should have specified it a bit

Here's my entry...

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j120/richergraphics/Haloween-Sig.png

A different style than my usual stuff, but I wanted to get a really grungy dirty look.

I did try wth the usual pumpkins, but couldn't really get anything to blend well.

Simplicity rules! (although there are 10 layers here lol).

Hey, great job Rhy! I like the theme of yours. Everything works very well together, like the hand and the border around the edges, and the text is awesome! Great job man!2010-10-30 22:47:00

If this wins I'll die of shock - this is only being entered under the flag of "it's not the winning or losing, but the taking part that counts".

However, I can guarantee that this is one of the scariest things you'll ever see...

Happy Halloween...
The judging has completed and the winner is:

Rhy:
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j120/richergraphics/Haloween-Sig.png
Crazy good painted, and or erased border - very eerie color scheme matches the simple and very cool render. Text fits perfectly. And that's a winnner!

Thanks to everyone who participated! You guys were awesome, and definitely scared me some (khal).
Inanimacy, if you want to pick a second place winner, that's cool with me - and no I'm not in the contest, still. EXP will be rewarded forth coming and such.

We must do this again some time, hopefully with many more participants.

Thanks to all who took part. I agree with Lucky - we should do this more often... with more peeps!

Congratulations Rhy! Brilliant sig, even I liked it!

There should be more competitions like this, I like them, even if it is a little nerve racking when my husband and son are competing!

Thanks Lucky!

Yeah that border was very "Graham4Lif" sytle'd - but he always back shadowed it!

Happy Halloween Guys! See you next contest...
I completely missed how dark my sig looked until I saw it on another computer... That makes me a sad panda... This is what it looked like to me:

Of course now that looks over exposed - why is my screen so bright?
