Preserved Topic: +--- June Sig Contest ---+ (Page 3 of 3)

Is mine one that is in the "a little bit too big catagory" and if so is it too big pixel wize or too big of a file size?

Actually I made it big for effect. Its "TORTURE" to download it!!!

... Ok I apologize, that was just bad.

Okay, for those of you who have tattoos, I don't need to explain the torture/therapy angle here...

Personally, I think that a wide sig is ok, since we've got all the space to work with anyway. Sigs that are too tall, though, take up too much space. Once you get above 150 pixels or so in height is starting to push things. That doesn't mean, of course, that I'm not considering sigs that may be too tall. It just means that it might count against the sig.

[Edit: You know, there's been a lot of talk about what sigs fit the category, are too big, etc. I think it's good to have guidelines, to give everyone an idea of what's expected, but I don't want to get overly picky. So I'm going to rehash the important points here, and then I'm not going to say anything else on the subject:

1) Again the subject is torture/therapy. The key to this is: "the more pain, the better." I also want to point out that the therapy angle could be explored as well (as long as it involves pain, of course).

2) File size will be taken into consideration, but the primary criteria are quality and creativity. In other words, a larger file size will be forgiven if it's good enough.

3) I have a personal thing against tall (not wide) sigs. Personally, I try to keep my sigs under 100 pixels tall, but for the sake of this contest I'm willing to give a little. As in number 2, though, the primary criteria are quality and creativity. There is no cut off number for height, but it will be taken into consideration.

I am not going to say anything further on rules or regulations now.

If you have a really burning question that needs to be asked, you can always e-mail me. Now, ladies and gentlemen...

To the pain!]

Ok, I finally took a "stab" at DG's metal tut at GN, and mixed it with his eye tut in the faq,

Ok, point well taken about the size.

As for the theme, maybe more details are needed. I see lots of torture, little therapy (unless we're assuming that's your enemy's eyeball you are stabbing ). I chose a fresh, raw tattoo myself because when I got my tattoo, it was almost an hour of sitting as still as I could while taking tiny little needle stings over and over. But when it was over, I felt really energized, and then later, I felt really really relaxed.

Are you looking for something a bit more extreme than that?
