Signature of the Week #44 Theme
Signature of the Week #44 Theme
Theme: The Defaults
This one was inspired by the recent WOTM voting. I looked at all the wallpapers, and they were drenched with external effects, many of which without much thought. So I came up with this idea that BlueAngel so lovingly told me about; use the default settings.
Here’s how it works, your entry CANNOT use any external sources for its effects. You may use only the stock image/extraction of your choosing, but you may NOT use C4Ds, special brushes, Textures, etc. This entry (excluding the stock image) must be made from complete scratch.
Call this, a type of test of your TRUE abilities.
Entry Rules:
1) Your signature must be at least 380 by 80 pixels, and no larger than 500 by 250 pixels, the files must be saved as a PNG file. If you use animation, the file size of the signature must not exceed 1 MB.
2) Entries are due on the date of Sunday, June 11th, 2011.
3) All entries must have the text ‘AnimeGalleries.net’ on them for.
4) By entering in this contest, you are allowing AnimeGalleries.net the right to use your signature for promotional reasons or otherwise.
Other Rules:
1) Serated is not responsible for your entry following the contest’s theme or following any other above rules. If you have ANY questions pertaining to this contest, please PM Serated and your question will be swiftly answered to help.
2) Any comments, concerns, or important questions regarding the SOTW contest, or the weeks’ theme should be posted within this thread.
3) This contest is ANONYMOUS. Any discussions of entering, voting, deadlines, other otherwise will result in your entry and future participation within this contest being revoked.
4) You are allowed only 1 (one) entry for this contest. If you wish to make necessary changes to your entry, you are free to do so. You may NOT enter multiple versions of your entry.
All entries must be sent via PM to Serated before 7 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time) on June 11th, 2011. Please label your PM “SOTW 44 Entry” in order to avoid confusion.

Can we also use filters in PS like mosaic tile and others like liquefy?

I dont see why not. Its a default filter that comes with photoshop
Re: Signature of the Week #44 Theme
How about text? Can we use fonts we downloaded awhile ago, or does it have to be the fonts originally on the computer, cause I probably wont be able to remember what ones were downloaded and which werent...
Re: Signature of the Week #44 Theme
Now what if we made our own brushes and textures out of scratch? It's not like we took it off somewhere but we really made it all on our own?

If you made it then I'm sure you can use them. As for AG's question I am very interested on the font question. o_O

You may NOT use C4Ds, special brushes, Textures, fonts you found, etc.
Re: Signature of the Week #44 Theme
Can we use the same extraction more than once?
Also, do we have to make the extraction/render ourselves?

No.
Re: Signature of the Week #44 Theme
Wait, we can't use the extraction more than one? Duplicate layer is a PS default. e_e

Keep in mind, that the extraction is in itself an external image that you did not make.
Re: Signature of the Week #44 Theme
Does this also include "New from visible/apply image"? o_O

You may only use the extraction once, AND THAT'S FINAL.
If, you want to use a filter on the Extraction/stock, such as Sharpen, that is fine. But you may only use the extraction on one layer. ONE. Its like I said, the entire tag must be made from complete and utter scratch. One extraction, everything else is only what you can do in the program you're working with.

This theme is stupidly complicated.

This theme is designed to pull you away from being reliant on C4Ds and Textures, and shouldnt be even the slightest bit difficult.

I'm offended by this. You all get onto me for standing up for myself and what I believe in and think I'm rude for it. Serated told me to do this one day. No questions asked and I did. What is SOOOO hard about using what comes with default in PS.
I may not be the perfect signature artist with many flaws but it's not hard to grasp a concept of "if it didn't come with PS.. Don't use it"
I don't think any of you have the right to be on my butt anymore
Re: Signature of the Week #44 Theme
I don't know how you could be offended by a statement that isn't about you. o.O
I think the theme is complicated. I said so. That was all. It wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

It's not complicated. And what I said wasn't directed at just you either. It's all of you. Complain when something gets remotely hard. Not using C4D's or textures isn't all that complicated. Just goes to show how much you rely on outside things to do YOUR work.
Re: Signature of the Week #44 Theme
Both of you knock it off.
Blue, shut up. Last week you were complaining about me, now your complaining about someone else. Stop causing problems and leave it alone. If you have a problem, YOU DEAL WITH IT LIKE AN ADULT; not start a little war in a thread because you can.
Zenister, as the one who told me last week that I should answer questions properly, I answered yours. If you dont like the theme, its as simple as not entering. There will be other contests.
The next person that posts something off topic in this thread is getting an infraction.
