You know.. I always thought that looked nice (even if it didn't work as a sig).

..in a.. weird kind of way.

amen Dan, nice one Michael

Jason

You are soooo fired.

Ooooh, Avril....


I think I have something here for her...

(long handled broadsword, btw, as best I can remember it from my Kung-Fu days)



[edit:wrong sig, go me!]

[This message has been edited by Lucid Iguana (edited 12-09-2002).]

Lucid, that's called a Kwan Dao. A friend of mine is learning how to use one in his kung fu class. Good work

Hate to split hairs, but it's not. The Kwan Dao's tassel is on the head, and the head is bigger, but bottom also has a spear point.

Long handle broad sword, I say again =p

Ah, very nice Michael.

I forget, can we post more than one??

the transparacy doesn't work exactly on the brighter bg
try rgb:43 4 4

Is that a sharpening steel?

Cprompt - yes, you can =)

Thanks DL. I am working on another one. After my X-mas party, I will finish it

This thread is hilarious... *cough* I am still working on something to blow mahjqas gun, away.... and stuff. Yea.

DL, I changed the lighting on the barrel, as you suggested... added some more animation and shrank it down, to compensate for the filesize.

damn mah .. can we tie him up again .. that gun's animation is sweet!!!!


nice work!

hmm... lookin good M. but eh... it opens closes and fires... where are the used cartridges and the new bullets? Also... I would have made it with the barrel at the top not the bottom... Is that just a personal preference?

Really smooth work though... great metal also.

"Hate to split hairs, but it's not. The Kwan Dao's tassel is on the head, and the head is bigger, but bottom also has a spear point."


Well paint me green and call me Gumby. Just goes to show how well I know my kung fu weapons.

Izzy, I know you have been gone for a few days. If you check the other thread you will notice that Mahjqa based the gun design from a characterized gun on the Trigun anime series. Just to let you know .

Nice work, but be expecting a beam cannon before the month is over, Mahjqa

[This message has been edited by InSiDeR (edited 12-10-2002).]

Kine, if you're really lucky (and I finish my english project *gag*) I'll make you a kwan dao, and you can see the difference



[This message has been edited by Lucid Iguana (edited 12-10-2002).]

Izz', I indeed modeled it after another gun, as InSiDeR said.

Indeed, it would've been complete with adding bullets, cartridges, and shooting six times, but that would've made the filesize unworkable... The thing is big enough as it is.

(And after that, I would have to add a hand inserting the bullets, and so on... I'd like to keep it simple as it is.)

really amazing sweet!
only the "backpush" when firing is a little slow.

mahj, you rule the school when it comes to sigs man.

mmm, very nice additions mahjqa =)

I agree the recoil is a bit slow though...I would think it should jump straight back, where it seems to slide now.

minor detail of course....beautiful work. =)

Bye bye to the eye

Here's my first entry for the contest...

For his first one, Moth's is great. Texturing is near perfect. He could be the next Mahjqa if he keeps this up.

Moth...
excellent texture & trans.

mahjqa...
Awesome.

Mine is an homage to non-conventional weaponry.
Still working on getting the animation correct... bugger.
I think it will find some long standing use in the Asylum though.

To be posted ASAP.
Regards

--buh-bye siggah!--

[This message has been edited by reitsma (edited 12-11-2002).]

I forgot one thing... it's not a sig if it hasn't got my name on it. Way to get disqualified. Fixed now, even if it's only 4 pixels tall And I fixed the recoil. I hope.

OK...

Posting the image w/out a sig as a test,
I'll add my sig in a few as the "official" entry.
Inspired by flaming troll posts...
I Need input

Regards



Next trans attempt & image "clean up":


ACK!
The trans stinks ^
I'll repair that... big hurry.

[This message has been edited by qadash (edited 12-11-2002).]

If this is too many, just disregard it as an entry. All in fun and I can't help myself, enjoying the theme this month

Qadash; nice idea

Amerasu; that's some sweet detail you've got there.. and the colors are very pretty.

(edit: one thing though.. if that's supposed to be blood on the axeblades, try setting the blending mode of the blood layer to multiply or color burn... often works better.)



[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 12-11-2002).]

Thank you for the compliments, guys. I am flattered.

But there has been a small misunderstanding, I think. This is my first entry in this month's competition. It is not my first entry ever...

I like all of the entries. Even the sharpening iron. Mahjqa has done an amazing piece of work. I can only hope to be as good as him one day.

Need a clarification. Does my entry have to have my name on it or is the wood-burned moth on the handle acceptable?

Would the light also change when the gun is shot on recoil?

Amerasu .. that is one bad axe!!! .. great work!!! ..

Moth; well, it's not a rule or anything, and a name isn't really necessary. In the best case it's supposed to represent you. So your submission would be correct anyway. Think about Eyezaer using pears, Bugimus with a bug, VP with his mop... you get the picture. I just thought I'd be on the safe side.

InSiDeR: not significantly. When the gun opens, the front part rotates 30 degrees. On the recoil of the gun, the rotation is only 3 degrees. It simply looks more since the gun goes backwards.

(and sue me, I've worked far too long on this thing It's almost christmas, what the hell am I doing with a gun anyway?)

that gun totally rocks man... i like how you stuck your name on it. Very slick!

personally, i think it should be "mahjqa 5.0" or similar.
nice work.

and amerasu - there has never been (and hopefully, will never be) a limit on the number of sig entries you can put forward.

the idea is to encourage creativity, develop skills, and have fun.

you are, however, making bob's job a bit of a bitch, because you are adding to an already large collection of schmick sigs. tough choices ahead, bob!

better late than never... mahjqa ,..... that's one great looking GIF... wonderful work! Congrats!

combining the festive season with the competition theme...



....to see what my weapon is named, check the filename.
it's a terribly horrible pun - you have been warned.

[This message has been edited by reitsma (edited 12-12-2002).]

hahha... err.... does that glove have healing powers? shouldent the rips stay? Thats for the pun... sheesh.

Santa Claws? (Insert Groan Here)

Heheheh Love it!

EDIT by mahjqa:

1) please disable your signatures in this thread... many of the contest submissions are quite big, so to keep this accessible for the poor folks on dialup we'll have to drop the regular signatures.

2) HTML can only be used in the BIG SIG forums... it's recommended that you use UBB code to post images and sigs. (this link can also be found on the left of the page when you click the 'new reply' button)

[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 12-12-2002).]

And, sorry Moaiz, no recycles. Otherwise I would've submitted my lightsabers

Micheal, escuse muah...but that sig is mine but u could have it anyway, but still u should've asked me though!

Oh boy...here it comes...
BTW - in this thread, only sigs pertaining to the comp are allowed...so I took the liberty of removing yours...
And I think Michael meant that a bit...sarcastically...which is somewhat allowed here...messin' with others sigs that way...as long as it is appropriate. In this case, it is. I don't think he actually means to use it, as his own...why would he want to?

[This message has been edited by WebShaman (edited 12-13-2002).]

uh, michael is obviously not intending to use that sig as his or claim it to be his. get over it.

Weapons of mass destruction..?

I can think of none so effective as this:

Hey, you guys can have your fancy schmancy hi-tech, blow-em up, cut em' down weapons... but when it comes right down to it.. NOTHING beats a good pair of FANGS!

LETS GET PRIMAL!

Nice Faaaangs! =D
So is that poser with ps airbrushing?

yes it was.

Why cant recycled sigs ever win?

                                     

a fantasy sword entry for the competition

Ok,

Here we go with my first entry into a sig contest. One of the coolest weapons from childhood... Ok, who am I kidding? From adulthood too!

cluedo?

-THE SPACE-

Jung>>>I absolutely love it! Get rid of the line around the edges. If you resize it so that the cards are between 64 pix and 75 pix tall you'll have a keeper.

I haven't played Clue in a long time. Is that a picture of you as Professor Plum? (Professor Jung?)

Ok,

Here is a smaller version though you kind of lose some detail in the room card, but it is smaller and better suited for this board. (A better suited card? heheh) You should have seen the first version, very large. It included the detective's notepad and even a number 2 pencil. Way to big for here!

...and no, that's not me. I may look like a geek, but I don't wear glasses.

Jung>>> Better! The loss of detail due to resizing is unfortunate but we all have to walk that thin line between legibility and bandwidth.

Is your work a manipulation of a scanned image or did your paint it? I just ask because I haven't played Clue in a long time and I like the cards you are using.

Regards,

Moth

It's called Cluedo over here...always wanted to know why they change names depending on the country they are makreting it in...like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

[Emp edit: no sigs]

[This message has been edited by Emperor (edited 12-20-2002).]

they changed the name of Harry Potter? that's silly. then again, that's a different thread.

Umm...I'm not sure if that was supposed to be funny, but I am under the impression that In Britian, where the books were written, a Philosopher is associated with magic, and that a Philosophers Stone is a kind of magical stone/a stone that transfers one thing into another. I've never read the book, or seen the movie, so that might of been a blind shot in the dark.

[This message has been edited by counterfeitbacon (edited 12-22-2002).]

eh... do drugs such as joints and bong count? I sure hope so... but if not... hehehe.

Groovy.

heres mine..


i started making the Q36 explosive space gun but i couldnt find a pic of it anywhere hehe

and i made this one awhile before i joined the board when i saw all the bad ass swords and things


i learn a little more on each thing i do and this is alot of fun for me, photoshop is my favorite new toy!

A bit big EzRa-D. Not a bad start, but it could look a little more realistic.

May want to check out the Guru's tuts and espically DarkGarden's great tut on weathered metal.

Mahjqa and I made this .. together. Just plain airbrushing fun. (We stole the blueprints from Dexter, he he..)

Looks like the earthworm jim gun.

damn my two fav sigs from this contest and the sig king is behind them both...


thanks again mahjqa for the help in the holliday sig thread, your work is simply the coolest stuff going

Its sig-king-ening

~groan~ (wouldn't be a pun without one, )

BugFix!

Jung; maybe you could try to recreate the cards with PS? I'd love to see that wrench...
Izzy; love your pears. Peace, man.
Bacon? May I ask you what you meant by that?

And about sig king, heh... May I remind you that I've only actually won a competition once?
Statisticaly speaking you should fear Docilebob, he has won it 4 times already. That may have got something to do with the fact that he's entered almost every competition so far, and really spends a lot of time and effort on them.

edit: for anyone who's wondering about the rest of the winners: I'm too lazy to dig up the FAQ icon.

Another thing.. would it be a good idea to make a thread with only the competition entries?




[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 12-26-2002).]

Ive got an idea for one of you... I would make it myself if I actually had skill but how about you make the Morpher Ray from that Ratchet and Clank game. Anybody see that commercial? lol

enV, this thread is not the place for this...this thread is for entries into the sig contest. I see you have an idea...why don't you make it yourself, and post the results seperately, in a new thread, and we could help you make it better? - leave this thread, for Official Entries into the Sig contest, ok? And don't reply to this in this thread...either mail me, or start a new thread...got it?




[This message has been edited by WebShaman (edited 12-27-2002).]

Bacon's talking about the weird bug that happens when the actual html actually shows up on the top of the page and the page ends up looking a bit psychotic. After somebody posts, it doesn't show up any more. Maybe it's Doc's new visual shock therapy technique.

enV: This is as good as I could do right now. It's 1:30am and I have to work in the morning

[This message has been edited by CPrompt (edited 12-27-2002).]

Cprompt: funny thing. Maybe shrink it to 50% or so to make it look less blurry.. and try to integrate your name in the gun..

in general: shouldn't all entries be sig-entries? with a function as a sig? I.e.: with a name on it? Because I see a few 'sig's without a name or so..

I think that'd be up to the judge of the month to decide wether that's an issue, same as everything else. If, for example, a sig is much taller than would normally be accepted, yet shows a lot of craft/effort, it may still win.

Liluth: like I said, it was late and I was REAL tired.

I'll fix it. Probably not in time for the contest but I will fix it Thanks

I think that there is another part to the end of it. Not sure though, I need a better pic of it.
