Preserved Topic: **FEBRUARY 2003 SIG CONTEST** (Page 2 of 3)

Another entry. Uggh. Never mind. This is tougher to do well than I originally thought.

Posting entry again after some corrections.

Help me out, folks, but I believe that recycles are only sigs that have been used here before, is that right?

That was my understanding but as Suho1004 said - it is your call. You can do pretty much what you want (within reason). You could decide that a degree of recycling is OK or you could only allow sigs that were made specifically for this contest.

My decision is that recycles are sigs that have been used at the Asylum, then. After all, I'll have no idea if you've used the sig somewhere else.

By the way, what is that, Rameses?

im knew to this site but. i love keltic knots and im geting mine in a week. i will get a pic of it and put it on if you guys are still doing this sig thing.... what is a sig????? but if you guys are not doing this contest anymore if anyone wants to see it e-mail me.

Welcome to the Asylum, Kelticman. Allow me to direct you to a few resources that might explain things...

:FAQ: (General FAQ entry for newcomers)

:FAQ: (The FAQ entry for this forum, which will explain sigs and the sig contest, etc.)

In brief, though, this is not a tattoo contest, but a signature (graphic/text file placed at the end of one's post) contest based on tattoos, real or otherwise. A read through the FAQs above should explain things better.

And if you'd like a better welcome (this thread is usually reserved for contest entries and comments), post a new topic in the main forum (OZONE) and let us know a little about yourself. Hope to see you there.

Nice work folks...me likey.

So, a mix of goofing off and a couple actual tattoo designs makes for...one shifty sig that's not as recycled as it may seem.

and duo...

*picks up jaw from desk*

[This message has been edited by Xdreamer.ch (edited 02-12-2003).]

was that only a small:

a:Breast ?
b:Tattoo ?
c:Sig ?



[This message has been edited by tomeaglescz (edited 02-12-2003).]

you never see a tatoo on a breast?

...whats so bad about it?


[This message has been edited by Xdreamer.ch (edited 02-12-2003).]

nothing, i just couldn't resist it, was my wierd sense of humour.

You need a bit of a better displacement map, dreamer.

A: It goes over her clavicle (aside from the pain, it would bevel there)
B: Rounding off the way the words do, where they do, they'd run into her armpit and be covered when that arm relaxes (notice that it's slightly turned back at the shoulder joint)

Nice idea though. Me still likey.

Xdreamer, I think Tom was asking what you meant by a "small one": Small tattoo, small sig, or small breast. I'm sure it was meant as a joke.

As for size, that's a fairly big tat for the location! Not that this effects the competition, but OW with the collar bone! My last tat got really close to my clavicle, and THAT hurt!

As for the size of the breast... well, no comments.

And, uh, DarkGarden - whoa.

In case anyone is wondering, my sig is supposed to represent the twirling confused world I live in. It was done in about 10 minutes, out of boredom.

Or something.

@tom: sorry, didn't get the point.

@darkgarden: thank you for the tips but I'll have
to translate it first to german so I can make it
better... :-/

@odd cat: a small sig what else

[This message has been edited by Xdreamer.ch (edited 02-12-2003).]

Rameses Niblik the Third-Regerdless of what your sig represents or how long it took, unless it is a contest enrtry I don't think it is allowed to be in here.

punchdrunk: Good point.

The question is: Is it a tattoo? Is it even supoosed to be an entry in the competition?

Let's do stick with contest entries only.
And not to nitpick, but these are SIGS, so your user name needs to be on their somewhere.


[This message has been edited by Odd Cat (edited 02-13-2003).]

Odd Cat: I would be careful saying things like that - jamie might hear you! Then who knows what sort of mess you'll get us into.

it is not commonly agreed that a name is needed in a sig. your name is on the left of every post you make, so it doesn't need to be on the bottom as well.
it does, however, need to represent you in some way, and often, having your name on it is a good start.

ummm..... peace

havnt worked on it much, pretty simple.... tryin to think of other ideas





[This message has been edited by Swavey (edited 02-14-2003).]

of course, as the 'judge' of this, it's your perogative as to the grounds on which you'll choose.

But, nowhere is it required that to be a sig it needs to have your name

YAY!

(well, don't get too excited - as I said, it's up to him =)

hmmm i dont know.. check it

[This message has been edited by outcydr (edited 02-23-2003).]

DL - I'll stick with tradition. A name is not required.

HOWEVER. It has to have something to do with the topic of tattoos. d3f4c3d: I don't see what that image has to do with the topic. Folks, please remove sigs that are off-topic. While you're certainly welcome to show your sigs here at the Asylum, non-contest sigs are better suited to a new topic outside of this contest.

Basically, I don't want to push with too many rules, but if it's supposed to be a tattoo, ask yourself if it looks like a tattoo. By that, I mean ask yourself if a tattoo artist could reproduce it, close to the same way you show it, on skin. Keep in mind the limits of the medium. This doesn't mean you have to actually show it on skin, although the entries that show it on a body part are perfectly acceptable. Even the joke sigs are acceptable; they are, arguably, on topic. I've got no problem with folks pushing the limits of the topic, but you have to be on topic in some way.

Okay, no more fussing. Those that are on topic have been cool so far. Keep them coming!

My very first sig in this contest...

And also my first work with Photshop. I do not have yet enough skill to make a great sig, so I made this one fun. It does not look really realistic, but I hope you will like it.



Silence is another speech. -Me
