SOTW / AOTW Discussion & Results

y'know another idea... at some point in the SOTW maybe you could give a set render and see what all the participants can do with it. Just an idea, we used to do it a lot on my old GFX site.
 
Yeah, we've done something like that in the past, and it's something we're interested in doing in the future ^^
 
About the theme passion and hatred.
Is there anything specific required? Or can i go and make a sig which involves things im passionate about?
 
It's more like, trying to capture the emotion. It was a pretty abstract theme, but I thought it would be an interesting one xD
 
Why thank you ^^

I think, and I need to discuss this with Vikki, that from now on it would be more interesting to use more abstract themes, as opposed to general themes like "FFX" or whatever, because then the entries are much more varied and it doesn't restrict people as much.
 
I definately agree with you. Itl make for a much more interesting competition, and its more fun making tags with these kinda themes than it is anime, final fantasy etc
:mrgreen:

Wai thank you :3 your entries are pretty hawt too ^^


Okay. I need ideas for SOTW 92 and AOTW 42. I'm drawing a blank each time.
 
Thank you. XD

Suggestion for themes:

* Life and Death

* Winter and Summer

* Childsplay (meaning capture the moments of children playing innocently as we used to. e.g. Playing with balloons etc. Or it could even be adults doing the same thing. It just needs to represent innocence and how naive we can be.) and Youth (capturing teenagers of today.)

Dunno about the last one. <_<
Might think of a few more later.

I like the whole life and death theme. I think I'll make it a dual themed week. So both SOTW and AOTW will be Life and Death. Cause it's a little unfair to make SOTW Life and AOTW death, since they're both tricky themes.
 
Just a quick question. If we were to do a collaboration theme, how many people would be interested in doing one? Last time we did one we didn't get that many entries, so I'd be interested to see how big it could become if we organized it weeks before hand.
 
I love the themes mentioned above. Life and death sounds awesome.
Hmmmmm how about industrial work?
Loneliness? Disturbing? I dunno, i like these emotion themes. Passion was an awesome theme imo :gasp:

Thanks about the Passion theme ^^

Well, I think Vikki's got an interesting theme up her sleeves next week ;D

Also. I've spoke to Vikki about changing the rules for SOTW slightly. Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking we could allow people to enter a collaboration signature and their own signature? See how interesting things get, as if people work with different partners, they'll learn new techniques and we'll get some fantastic entries.
 
Sounds good to me. I also liked the idea of either you or vikki picking a stock or render and us having to use it in the sig. Itd be interesting to see which each artist could come up with when given a sort of template to follow.
 
Fixed renders week is something I'd like to do again. I was going through my C4Ds earlier, and found the image pack used for SOTW 45 xD We'd make them vary varied and include stocks too, not just renders.

I think an interesting theme would be "Text" and make it so the signature has to have a focal point of text. I've seen it on being done on other forums to great effect.
 
Ooooh text would be an awesome theme, quite difficult aswell. I remember a callout thread based on this theme actually i think, and they were both great to look at.
I think a theme based around comedy would be quite interesting. Trying to make your sig funny and look good would be mighty hard i think. I need to pm my entries for this week in soon as im off on holiday next week. :D

Oh also i can get a hold of quite a few really interesting stocks if uze are interested.
 
I had a callout with Marshy on a Text Theme. >_>

Yes, I have something tricky but interesting planned for AotW43/SotW93 :ryan:
