Topic awaiting preservation: ** January Sig Contest ** - Toys! - Chatter (Page 1 of 1)

Sorry to be late, but here we go. Here's the deal; this month's sig competition is all about toys. What was your favourite childhood toy? Do you have an adult 'toy' somewhere in the drawer? Did you buy your cellphone for the games it has?

Milk it for all it's worth, I'm counting on you all. You know the rules.

bit 'o recycle:

Is that one of them there mobiles with a silent alert mode?

bit 'o recycle:

I was going to point out to Lacuna that mahjqa said childhood toy, but then I remembered that she got an early start.

Hey Grumble, great sig, that! Another pov-ray creation of yours? Looks too perfect to me to be drawn by hand

What is the deal?

Having all sorts of transparency problems!



Ok... I think it's fixed. *sigh*

(Edited by Jung on 01-08-2006 17:51)

Yep, looking good now =)

thanks kuckus, no this time it's 3dsmax.

GRUMBLE: Its very nice indeed!! Great concept, beautifully realised in sig form.

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

thanks emps.

miniature, thats a really funny sig you got there!

maruman, nice sigs too! maybe you can fix the bg on the bow+arrow sig, it seems as if it has a rather wide opaque border.

I find humor is a great way to fix the gap in skill.

I really like all these. Especially Ens's. I really want one of those now...

How do I post a sig..
Hiow big can it be?
How can I post an image in the sig thread using the image tag?

For proper use of he UBB code - http://www.ozoneasylum.com/aboutubb

The forum colors (if you plan on using transparency) - http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5052

Info on the sig contests - http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4616

Host the image on your web server ( http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4814 may be of help), and link to it using the UBB code. There are no hard fast rules about size, but you can get a general idea just by looking at other sigs. This is definitely not like a lot of other boards where sigs are gigantic hunks of wasted bandwidth - we try to keep them on the smaller side, both visibly and in regard to file size.

I put the name of my web site with a /boat.gif and it won't work..

Ok
(img) works so I will post that image in the contest using img until I figure out why the sig doesn't work

(Edited by brake check on 01-16-2006 05:54)

I like your boat brakecheck. But Its kinda pixally.

[ img ] is the ubb tag to use for your sig.

DL-44..quothe.." (img is the tag to use..")
Ok
Thanks again DL-44!

Just to clarify, now that I read that again - you specify your actual sig in your profile.

If an image is part of your sig, then you use the [ img ] tag to display it. Whatever is listed in your profile for a sig is automatically appended to the end of your post.

When posting a sig for competition, you should just use the [ img ] tag directly in your post to show it.

Yes
Thanks again
I must have it written wrong in the signature space in the profile but I don't want to use that for the sig right now because I posted as img on the contest line..
It is just a fun thing to do..add my two cents worth to the sig contest thread..I may enter every month just for the practice of making small images..and maybe some simple animation..

And in the end those are the best reasons for doing it

The fame, fortune and all the other benefits are just nifty added extras

I bet you can't post that sig three times fast...

^^

Emp
I can't draw with a pencil or a tablet ..I use vector and a mouse...then I can draw..Nifty trick..but I don't have the talent nor am I willing to invest the time and effort to win fame or fortune ..strictly amateur..just in it for the fun..
Jung..I can't post that sig once at any speed and you want THREE ....sheesh...

I was just looking through the chatter thread and my sig was bothering me... Just didn't look like a natrual Hoppity Hop bounce. Unless maybe the thing was full of Helium or something... So I reworked the sig and made is a smaller bounce.

It looks good either way Jung. The high bounce is amusing but the low bounce accents the squish..which is a nicely done detail..

jung, maybe you can have it remain a bit longer at the top. you know when something bounces it goes upward fast then slows down until it comes to a stop and then starts falling downwards.

Test.

Test other bg.

i haven't done this in a while. it's just a hurry up job and could have been done much better. if i have time i'll try to work on it.

Jung - I love that etch-a-sketch! If you had it actually draw out your name, I might just lose it.

(double bubble)

My thoughts exactly - its pefect for it too as you could have it wipe clean to reset it.

I always thought shaking the etch-a clean was a genius idea. Whenever I would screw something up, madly shaking it above my head always made me feel better. Then I could try again.
