Idea for SOTW/BSOTW themes

[Bulf]

Been running dry on ideas and ways to spice the contests up lately, so how about this for choosing themes: Every week, I'll pick a theme as usual, but I'll include a poll option for the one I chose, "Freestyle", and "Other (comment)".

Voting other means you have to comment, and amount of likes/thanks (I've yet to really decide which one; this is all just fun stuff in my head right now) for that post, counts as votes. You'll be free to choose multiple, but in the event of a tie (and there will be ties), I'll use Shika's Ask George option, in chat. Polls will be visible at all times.

If I see mysterious names popping up, I can check for double accounts and stuff, so .

So yeah, thoughts, etc etc.
Assuming no one likes this idea, I can always do the normal thing.

I have no idea if this is a good idea of not, tho i got the idea standing outside

Ex: Lets say you have a camera, take a picture of something in you're area "Not OFF Google" and detail it to your liking and renderize it.
Basically you're Turing something you see everyday into your signature with whatever render you chose. Could be a "Plant,Fence,Your House,Trees Ect..

Idk its a theme tho so
Lets call it "Naturalistic" xD

It should be fair if the winner picks the theme.

How about give a tutorial to follow, whoever miss or hits, wins?

Polls are okay, as long as the options are not freestyle and others everytime, lol. You can always choose specific anime/game for the contest. Or specific theme, like vector, floral, glow, c4d, etc.

Kinda new to the site, so I'm only aware of a few themes that have been done. So if I happened to mention a theme that was already done, forgive me! lol1

Ideas for SOTW:
Superheroes Theme
Glasses Theme
Tsundere Theme
Vocaloid Theme

That's all I got for now....

I don't think many people understood my OP
I mean something like this:

SOTW #XX Theme:

• [whatever I choose, like always. (presets, emulation, video games, etc.]
• Freestyle (Because it's always pretty cool)
• Other (you post a theme and others like said post)

I'm mostly just trying to see if you all think the polls are a good idea in general first, before I actually try it . If everyone is up for it (and it looks like it so far), I'll go ahead and start the thread for it later.

Also, I tried the winner picking the theme for a while, but people stopped saying which theme they wanted if they won.

I would actually prefer to have the voter state a reason behind why they are voting for a specific sig. Having the anonymous vote button on top, well, I guess I'm not a huge fan of that at all.

Having people to say a reason why they vote for the specific sig will be a hassle, and it turns people away from voting at all if they have to state their reason for voting.

Possibly, but it also steers away "popularity contests" by people voting only because they are using their favorite character, right?

Then be like yo, you gotta pick a theme dawg.

They probably forgot. People came up with themes so I am pretty sure that coming up with one it's not a problem.

Just don't take these too seriously to be honest. We had these discussions countless times.
