SOTW Discussion Thread

This thread is for SOTW discussion. To keep things clean and tidy discussion for all SOTW copms will be in this thread to prevent multiple unnecessary threads.

 

here is my sig for SOTW2 please add Almo http://s5.tinypic.com/15mmcfd.jpg

i'm begging here

 

well i've posted for SOTW3 and i'm happy with the result.
this one was fun, i had to really think about what i wanted to do and use different techniques

 

that ones funny

 

almo if your floating around you going to make a hall of fame thread?

 

sorry guys been busy as **** lol, yes will get around to a hall of fame thread soon.

 

updated my entry, still not happy but meh.

Good to see the render has challenged a few of you I have to admit it was pretty hard, im also open to render suggestion so post 'em here. Just post a topic or an item of whatever, dont link to an actual render

 

A One piece render would rock!!!

 

i don't think it should be anime renders all the time as it gets boring, having something different this time was cool and challenged my creativity and i'm sure it did others so maybe the use of inanimate objects would be good now and again maybe a spoon or something like that

and almo like the style of the sig, i can see what you might not be happy with. its a bitch to get rid of the coca-cola logo smoothly isn't it

 

thats more the kind of ideas I was looking for a spoon would be awesomely hard

Yes it was 3am and I was pretty tired so I have to say my patch tool and healing brush tool skills kind of disappeared lol. Also the render itself seems blurry, not sure whats going on there but im sure I f**kd something up lol.

 

i found the patch tool didn't work so good i used the spray brush thingy turned the opacity down and just kept picking up the closest colors mixing it in till it looked right then ran in the high light and low lights in the right places. it was a bitch but the challenge was fun

 

maybe you could change the rules a bit and do instead of providing a render list a theme for the sig e.g. one of their fave game console etc..

 

SOTW used to work on a theme base, the problem was that it left people way too much room to breathe, and since people couldnt come up with a good idea or a decent render for the theme then they just wouldn't enter at all. We could progress to themes a bit later on but I warn you they will be seriously hard and you will have to spend a few days sketching to get an idea.

SOTW is supposed to help you develop skills by pushing you outside your comfort zone. Having a theme like 'DragonBall Z' doesnt help anyone, whereas if the theme is say 'depression' then it can be interpreted in many different ways and in many different styles. Problem is that a theme like 'depression' is a little too hardcore and deep for beginners who really only want to make good looking anime/gaming sigs for use on forums.

 

What do you guys think of my entry?

 

i suppose the best way then is to do as equitypetey said and do more obscure renders, but maybe not a spoon......

its good, but can i ask what exactly is that ... creature?

 

It's a guy from the Happiness Factory, if you guys know that, If you don't, It's from a Coca-Cola Commercial

 

Don't forget to check out my sexy entry

 

I put my entry in yesterday and I used it's '09 slogan: "Open Happiness" overall I'm kind of satisfied with my effort.

 

Nice Sigs you guys made, I was surprised with the quality of skill some of you presented using the cola bottle render, seemed pretty hard

 

lol have you seen #4? I really f**d myself on this one, im completely blank....
