Preserved Topic: ***MAY SIG CONTEST, f00!: Sig Contest Re-visited (more info inside)***

Ahh.. right right... pick a topic they sayz..
Okay well.. one of my favorite sig competitions was the one where everyone made a sig for someone else.
So I think I'd like to see it happen again seeing that was about 2 years ago I think.... and we've plenty more users these days.

Make a sig for another inmate in the Asylum.
Last time this was done Nimraw won with a sig he made for Shiiizzzam and her being the 'keeper of the black pills'...
Use your imagination... and have fun.

(a note to the peanut gallery: sigs for ex-inmate 'taxon' will not be considered in the judging despite how much of a genius he was)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ recycler ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We don't have much info left on his competition but you can see the winning sig in the FAQ:

:FAQ: August 2001 (Buddy)

Good choice by the way - as a lot of people have arrived since the last one it is a good brand spanking new sig competition as the subject matter (all of you inmates) has changed

~wanders of muttering about 'recyling bitches and how taxon would never have done anything like this'~

for the one who is always there to help me

sorry suho i kow ya dont like comments in sig threads but hugh thats hysterical

Oh dibbs! I got WebShaman's!

*waves to Moth*



There are a couple more I'd like to do, time willing.

Love that sig Hugh

I love it Amerasu! It's beautiful. *wipes tear out of eye*

Here is my first entry. It the first piece of art I've done in this style. The moment I heard of this month's theme I couldn't get the idea out of my head. So without any further delay here it is...

tom: I guess I am kind of a hardnose about that, eh? Well, I kind of ignored my own advice in the last contest anyway, so I'm in no position to judge anyone else.

And yes, Hugh's sig is hysterical. They're all great so far.

heheh

Amerasu, I love your style of art. That moth is breathtaking.

Looked better large, but size matters here, doesn't it?

Jung: I like it!

LOL - it likes like being another good sig competition and I don't think Hugh's excellent Yannah sig will be the last we'll see for her

db: Fruit boxes rule

Amerasu: Stunning.

Jung: Nope still can't see your sigs

Moth: I like it but I can't work out what it is (if it is meant to be something at all).

I dunno Emps, I think you may the only one who can't see Jung's sigs...

With this nick-name I couldn't resist. Hope all get the reference...

Wow! I think we're off to a great start on this one. This could be the best contest ever.

Raptor, you did the same thing I was going to do. Now add the reflections
Emperor, I was trying something H.R. Giger-ish and it ending up being an evil, skeletal, angelfish thing. I hope Insider likes it.

Michael, are you against us doing a sig for someone that has already been done?




[This message has been edited by Moth (edited 05-03-2003).]

Nah... doesn't make a difference if someone has already had a sig submitted in their name...
Have fun with it.

=)

ummm....i can't see jung's sigs now either.
i could last time...

...and so I contribute 2 months in a row. The end of the world is near...

Another Emperor (popular guy )



This isn't exactly what I had planned. It's supposed to be animated but the final version is ridiculously big at 80K so I didn't want to put it up and kill the modem guys.

animated version

Thanks for other sig comments Lucid & Emperor

Well jesus...

I had an Emperor sig planned too....hardly seems he's worth all this attention though

"No Mas" was probably the most famous saying from Duran after getting clobbered by Sugar Ray. He simply stoped fighting and walked away saying, No mas.. no mas" which means in English no more.. no more.



To bizarre a reference?

As far as people not being able to see my sigs, I have no idea why. Tried with 4 different ISPs now and all are able to load and view. Might be a Philippine thing? No clue, sorry... Don't have another server to use at this point.

Peace,

- Jung

I might as well submit it and see how well it does.

[Sig removed. The idea is to make a sig for someone else.]

FAQs: Emperor

Here's one more, only it's not for anyone specific so feel free to exclude it, Michael. It doesn't exactly fit your contest now that I think about it... I made it up with no personality in mind and then couldn't decide whose name to stick on it so I made it a generic sig for anyone here.



edit - crappy spelling

If anyone doesnt recognise it, that logo and ship are from an old game called Xenon funnily enough.

Man, this one even makes me groan...

pare ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pâr)
tr.v. pared, par·ing, pares
To remove the outer covering or skin of with a knife or similar instrument: pare apples.
To remove by or as if by cutting, clipping, or shaving: pared off the excess dough.
To reduce as if by cutting off outer parts; trim: pare expenses.

Ha! Thanks Moth, I love it!

Ummm, yeah PARE... Yes, I know...

I was trying to be ironic as it is supposed to be PAIR but he said PARE although he is known for PEAR.

Too deep? If so, you choose one...

Go with the I'll open with a pear. I think the other ones will go over alot of people's heads.

Nice idea by the way!

Anyway, SpyX, here's one for you.... Hope you catch the reference though it's pretty atiquated it's from my era.

Hooray Bob!

Nice EzRa. I like that.

Damn, Amerasu, your 'generic Asylum member' sig above reminds me of the 'PipBoy' from Fallout. Nice work. Actually, there's a lot of that going around in this contest! Not that I'll make anything cool, but I may have to contribute...

Heh. Thats cool InSiDeR! I was trying to do a bacon pun sig a while ago, but it didn't work out. I'm trying to think up one for you, but that prying open third eye thing keeps popping up. I need to think more.

very stylish comeback, jung.

had me smiling.

i think that 'pare' is good - it adds an extra sense of wierdness, which is the izzay we know and love, and makes great sense - you already have a pair of pears, why not add pare in there just for some flair?
i know it seems funny, but i don't care.
it's such a good sig, i have to stare.
if you think it don't make sense, i say "oh contraire"!
it's really great - i'm glad you could share.
And now you're wondering if i dare
to continue my rhyming - but i know where
to stop.

I like this contest! We got red pear, green pears, blue pears, playing card pears... pare... what the devil is a pare? I am still lost on that one. (go with pair) yah!

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 05-09-2003).]

Glad you liked it, Amerasu. Here's a simplified non-animated version of Warjournal's sig based on our conversation on another thread.

izzy: Check out Jung's pasted definition of the word "pare." "I'll open with a pare" <-- I'll cut it open. Good play on homonyms, Jung.

Hmmm...

Hahahaha! That's great warjournal!

Here's one for someone who hasn't been done yet.

Fwooshahh!! that when right over mah head.

Yah.. use that one then! I like it.

anywhoo... and now for the smalles sig at umm... about 100? bytes...



for... some... buggy personage.

0926260122

OMG someone actually made one for me! ::about to cry::

And the pare thing, I was just wondering what was being pared. OPEN with a PARE. . . was just hoping you weren't refering to eyezaer is all.

Another day, another sig...

You know, I really need to find a hobby at something I am good at... My mind comes up with these ideas and the skill just doesn't match the thought. Anyway, enough self depricating, here ya go InSiDeR.

Ok, time for another one today...

Love the nick but couldn't decide to go with the classical definition:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
la·cu·na ( P ) Pronunciation Key (l-kyn)
n. pl. la·cu·nae (-n) or la·cu·nas

...OR go with the group Lacuna Coil.

So when in doubt, just do both.

All right, I need help I think... You would think I don't have a life beyond this keyboard...

Ok, I admit it. I don't... Just what time are the shock treatments downstairs?

LOL good job Jung!!!! thanks

Had no idea what to do with this nick until I looked at the bio.. I hope it fits and you like it. *waves at reitsma*

Dang, I realized each sig I did was getting bigger and bigger and looking less like a sig and more like a billboard. So here is a small one to try and combat that trend...
