Sig Of The Week 10 - Pixels!

INTRO

IMPORTANT RULE:Seriously though, when you're going to vote for a sig, you need to write more than a sentence. Try to at least write a decent paragraph if possible. End of story.

Also, usernames in your signatures are now optional. Anybody can slap a username on a signature someone else made, or photoshop out someone else's signature and put in their own.

ENTRY RULES

- The sig/tag must be somehow related to this weeks theme.

- Sigs may not exceed over 450(w)x250(h).

- No sigs that you made 30 days ago or older that just happens to fit the theme.

- Animated GIF file size wont be limited, although, use common sense, no 10min long animations or anything like that

- Sigs are due every TUESDAY AT 11:59 EST by posting in this topic, or e-mailing them to thescarletorder at gmail dot com (no exceptions)

- Hosts have a right to deny entries for reasons not listed above, if it so happens that you think your entry is denied without fairness, please take the problem up with me.

VOTING RULES

- You cannot vote for yourself.

- When VOTING, please state [b]"I vote for _____, because _______." This is used to determine how you vote. If your vote is based on just your favorite character or franchise, your vote will be denied. Please vote based on your favorite design and/or style. Please try to be descriptive as possible.

- Votes simply based on sexual themes or similar themes shall be denied, as well as votes based on favorite game and character. We're voting on DESIGNS not which character is the hottest/coolest.[/b]

- Hosts have a right to deny votes for reasons not listed above, if it so happens that you think your vote is denied without fairness, please take the problem up with me.

GENERAL RULES
[/color]
- Be a fair competitor, do no flame upon other competitor or contest host just because your entry did not get enough votes

- Rules are always subject to change without notice.
[/color]

TIMELINE

- Voting period starts as soon as I repost all entries in this post, Friday 11:59 PM EST is the cutoff.

- Voting period ends on Saturday and winner(s) is/are announced.

- New themes start on Saturday.

- Timeline is always subject to change without notice.

DESCRIPTION
This should be simple enough. Take some sprites, or make your own. You can ONLY use pixelated artwork, any full blown actual renders or 3D awesomeness is NOT allowed. We're going old school on this one folks. There are tons of sprite archive pages to pull sprites/renders from, and in a worse case scenario you can always screen capture from an emulator and then immediately delete it from your computer if you're the purist type.

Ideas:
NES Graphics
Sega Graphics
2D Fighting Game Sprites
GBA Graphics

Link Floyd · **Posted:** Sat Aug 16, 2008 7:05 pm

I just made this sig right now! I swear!

Uggh.... I'll see what I can cough up.

xXOtakuDickXx · **Posted:** Sat Aug 16, 2008 8:27 pm

does it have to, like, look really pixelly? i wanted to do something with Ogre Battle profile portraits but they aren't very pixelly-looking.

Now, I know a lot of people might look at my sigs and be like "Wtf Crittbeast your entries never have a lot of technical merit, where the fuxxors are the crazy effects all over the place?!"

It's not about technical merit with me, I just like simplistic, good looking sigs.

Example: Final Fantasy Tactics on PSX still counts as pixels/sprites. Anything that ISN'T made from polygons counts. Like, Diablo II would count too or Guilty Gear.

Also, just gonna throw this out there. I like what Crittbeast did, but if possible I'd like you all to use pre-existing 2D backgrounds instead of making low res ones with brushes without any filters on them and such.

Not a requirement, but more of a personal request on my part.

alright, great (even though i already got an even better idea involving live-a-live). plus it uses pre-existing 2d baqckgrounds i.e. i win.

p.s. crittbeast i like your sig. "technical merit" is just a dumb way of justifiying stuff that looks like shit because there's too much stuff there.

yeah, i'm not gonna bother posting mine.

Hey now, don't be fucking pussies 'cuz somebody posted up an animated sig. In a bit of pre-emptive vote, I'd say that sig has a decent chance of winning, but in no way is the absolute best. Currently I think Superman64 has the best signature out of the bunch.

xXOtakuDickXx · **Posted:** Sun Aug 17, 2008 5:24 pm

i didn't even see the other dude's post, actually. i was referring to superman64's. but uh yeah i'm still not going to bother posting mine.

Mickey · **Posted:** Sun Aug 17, 2008 5:28 pm

Superman64 pretty much kicks ass

Actually I didn't even had an idea I just had a 450x200 blank sitting there :razz:

I didn't use low res brushes, the brushes are like 2000 pixels big.

I used the pencil instead of the brush. <_<
