DISCUSSION THREAD




GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome to the Signature of the Week with your host, Unlimited.
Your lovely guest judges are Sdyess and 24des who will give quality checks
to each of your entries to ensure quality wins when you publicly vote.
In addition, your judges may allow a 2nd place winner
to have an opportunity to stand in the SOTM competition.

SOTM is where the top winners of a particular month compete
in a similar style for Signature of the Month.
1st Place in SOTW earns you 14 rep, 2 UP and exclusive entry to SOTM.
2nd Place in SOTW earns you 7 rep and 1 UP.

The winner of SOTW has the next theme of choice.
But do note Freestyle is now banned
for the simple reason that it lacks creativity.


Last Week's Winner: 24des

This Week's Theme: Surrealism




THE RULES:

1. Only constructive critique/criticism on entries is allowed
2. No insulting of any kind, this may lead to disqualification
3. Do not go off-topic, this subject must always be related to this week's edition
4. Do not complain about the theme
5. If you wish to report a entry for what ever kind of reason, VM or PM Unlimited or one of the judges.

[kjanko]

I like how my SoTW template looks :o
Also, I suggest allowing users to make large art with this theme.

[Golferpro22]

Amazing theme. Will be entering.

[Bjerkeng]

Uhm why is it only large arts these days... So boring because it's maybe 1-3 people on ac-web who can do it. U should go back to real sotw's..

Come'on, it's Signature of The Week, not anything else.

You mean the SOTW will have a judge and there will not be anymore the VOTE thread?

[Unlimited]

Oh nobody ever said you must make large art. You may certainly make it in your usual signature style. Though this theme is far more in depth than others and so allows large art.

This may seem a much bolder challenge in SOTW, but you can very easily pull it off with your previous experience of manipulating stock. Consider expanding your artistic tradition when you enter your signatures for this one.

By this you mean the SOTW will have a judge and there will not be anymore the VOTE thread? 0.0

Absolutely not! Voting will continue as always. Judges are set to assist in selecting 2nd place winners for entering SOTM while 1st place is a guarantee. In addition, they filter anything atrociously bad. I'm sure all of your entries will make the cut.


Be creative. Use lots of imagination.
Most importantly, have fun!

[Bjerkeng]

aha i see

[kjanko]

Is my art going to be accepted?

[Minilano]

This is a freaking hard theme.

[Unlimited]

This is a freaking hard theme.

Challenge yourself. Don't be afraid to try something new.

This is a perfect opportunity with a very nice first place prize, even a second place.

Enter the competition!
I know all of you regulars can certainly do this one with a little creativity. :)

[arjo112]

I wonder who made that theme up. I think this should be regular signature size to be honost, altough its kinda hard to put surrealistic art in a tiny box :P

[Unlimited]

Surrealism is very hard to keep in a standard signature size. Consider it a box-signature.


Come on people! Entries... :) Take a challenge for once.

[Tuulas]

arjos signature is ripped.. -_-

[Golferpro22]

arjos signature is ripped.. -_-

Like.

[arjo112]

Uhm no? its frekin easy :P yeah the stock is like a lot of the picture.

[24des]

Sotw template updated :3

[Minilano]

So if we offer some goodies to the judges do we might win?

[Unlimited]

So if we offer some goodies to the judges do we might win?

You might win if you enter.

Judges are just here to remove any seriously shit entries. All mediocre and above get entered to the voting panel. Judges also assist in checking PSDs, legitimacy, and determine if 2nd place winners are able to enter SOTM based on their submission.


This theme IS NOT HARD. This is perhaps the best theme we've ever had, and certainly most creative.

[Tuulas]

Uhm no? its frekin easy :P yeah the stock is like a lot of the picture.

ive seen it before... like months ago.. -_-. i know for sureeee that it isnt yours..

[Legit.Cow]

Isn't it called SIGNATURE of the week? My brain must be small cause I cant make large art for my life. Guess I will try again tomarrow.

[Tuulas]

-_________________________________________________- <--- at all the people that say they cant make large art..

[Legit.Cow]

-_________________________________________________- <--- at all the people that say they cant make large art..

Mhm, now where is your entry?

[Unlimited]

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LARGE ART.

I know it must be very difficult for you to comprehend such a simple sentence.

[Exiled]

that wasnt surrealism..

[Exiled]

I'll enter If I can do something that isnt surrealism ;)

[Unlimited]

The one time we get a good theme nobody wants to enter?

[Minilano]

Sorry but this is a way too ''hard'' for me. May I suggest that you change the theme so possibly more will enter?

[Sandwish]

Just open the voting thread. :D

[Unlimited]

Sorry but this is a way too ''hard'' for me. May I suggest that you change the theme so possibly more will enter?

But how is this difficult? :)
It does not have to be large art, and it can be creative. I'm sure you've got some creativity there.

Just give it a shot! You've got nothing to lose.

[Minilano]

Just give it a shot! You've got nothing to lose.
I can loose my brain capacity.

[Unlimited]

I can loose my brain capacity.

No you can't.

[Katos]

please read.... i used a tutorial to follow, it is not ripped, thankyou....

[kjanko]

please read.... i used a tutorial to follow, it is not ripped, thankyou....

That's why It's 100% the same? Also, please show us the tutorial.

[Unlimited]

Katos, the image was from long ago. A PSD check is not even relevant with that detail. You are hereby disqualified from SOTW 59.

And people, no, it is NOT TOO LATE TO ENTER.

[kjanko]

What's wrong with these people...
http://www.smashingshare.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/021-Dangerous-Colors.jpg

PSDVault.

[Sandwish]

No skills or what? :>

[Unlimited]

Another one disqualified? Wunderbar.

[Legit.Cow]

Guess I'll try, won't be pretty, especially because I don't have enough time to put detail into large art.

[Unlimited]

Does NOT HAVE TO BE LARGE ART :)

[Tuulas]

Mhm, now where is your entry?

im not going to enter.

[Unlimited]

im not going to enter.

Because it's too hard for Cali to handle. ;)

[Exiled]

Because it's too hard for Cali to handle. ;)

No, you seriously think that this would be hard for Cali? The theme is just boring... I don't like surreal at all, that may explain the amount if entrys...

[arjo112]

Meh i like sureallism, cus it's diffrent then the stuff we get every week :)
but yeah it's kinda fucking hard to make a good pic bout it, mines below average..

[Faded]

You guys have no fucking respect when entering SOTW, No premades = no tutorials. OWN work.

Bullshit just makes it hard to host SOTW. Zeroz and Katos, Make you're own work instead of taking credit for others.
It's SOTW, not Rip of the week.

Be nice to unlimited, He's doing what he can since I left.

[Unlimited]

Last chance to enter!
It's not every week we get a theme which is a little more artistic than shit in a paper bag.

[24des]

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

[Sdyess]

Beside the fact that the last entry is weird as fuck, it's also not his work.
Tineye.com (http://www.tineye.com/search/1c5b7c43d6038f525aab4336c6d72d5c7b57b9f8/)

[Unlimited]

Well we've clarified kjanko and arjo have the only two entries. This is why there isn't a Voting thread yet.

Last hour, people! Do it. You've got nothing to lose.

[Bolvarxx]

I would but...
I would have to do some test ones first.

And I thought you aren't aloud to have discussion in the Official thread <_<

[Ferguson]

I've seen the one Kjanko made somewhere, if not really similar.

[24des]

another rip from zerozz, yo.

[Bolvarxx]

I was just about to call that...

[kjanko]

And this turns into a popularity contest again.. This is last time ever I enter this SoTW.

[Minilano]

This time all of these were pretty good, so it's almost like flipping a coin.

[Blane]

And this turns into a popularity contest again.. This is last time ever I enter this SoTW.

This is why a lot of people don't enter sotw people vote on who they like the most not the best...

[sтаяsкï]

[arjo112]

This is why a lot of people don't enter sotw people vote on who they like the most not the best...

[24des]

[Minilano]

You know what would be great? to make a cartoon.
