Preserved Topic: ~~AUGUST SIG CONTEST~~II

OK. Half way there ( roughly) We had 67 posts and 10 sigs in the original thread. Let`s see if we can reverse that ratio in this one.


Get those machines runnin.
Oh, yea. Please leave your everyday sigs at the door..

How about the killing machine? Airbrushing hurts my head...

Not bad (1000% better than what I've got up this month ). A tad on the big side, though.

[nitpick]The trigger seems like it's a part of the guard, and it wouldn't actually move if you pulled it.[/nitpick]

thats cause of the drop shadow..... ill fix that maybe... i knew it would be too big, but i think it would look worse small so what am I to do?

Well, you could always give it a shot and see how it turns out. It might not be bad with some sharpening. Or, if you have a layer that is not airbrushed (I'm not sure how you went about this, or if you airbrushed it all from square one) you might just try shrinking that down.

heh.
nice one, insider!, really nice brushin'
but, yes, make it smaller

i tend to think of a pistol as a weapon, rather than as a machine.
just my opinion...

Umm...?

velvetrose: isn't a weapon merely a highly specialised machine?

I'll get my coat.

Gee, I didn't even notice that when I first posted that. I would never stoop so low as to make such a lame pun.

And yeah, guns are machines too. Even an inclined plane is a machine, for that matter...

Just so we can stop the silly arguments....

mas: relax, we knew it was a joke. (or at least I did)

InSiDeR: that's more like it. Although, the name is a bit hard to read. It is there, though.

Ah, as for my submission. Ah, yes, well, um, er... let me get back to you on that.

*looks at calendar*

Still a week or so left...

*LOL
i guess i should have said, a machine gun may qualify as a machine, but i tend to think of a pistol as just a weapon.

[edit - anyway, that was my thinking when i first posted]

1. A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form.

2. A simple device, such as a lever, a pulley, or an inclined plane, that alters the magnitude or direction, or both, of an applied force; a simple machine.
errr... YUP
3. A system or device for doing work, as an automobile or a jackhammer, together with its power source and auxiliary equipment.
errr... YUP
4. A system or device, such as a computer, that performs or assists in the performance of a human task: The machine is down.
errr... a gun assists in killing
