SotW 107 :: Theme - Outer Space

[Muffincat]

Hey guys! This is the 107th SotW, and this week's theme is "Outer Space." Make something space themed... beautiful galaxies, planets, starscapes, whatever you want! Aliens? I know you'll surprise me :P

Here are the rules:



-Keep them to 500x200. Over that size makes the sigs too hard to look at!
-You must supply proof with your sig. Take a screenshot with your layers. Not supplying proof might lead us to believe you ripped.
-No flash sigs, but you can make animated GIFs.

Good luck! ;D

So we cant take pictures from say google.com and cut out select pieces there to make them all into 1 sig?

[Muffincat]

So we cant take pictures from say google.com and cut out select pieces there to make them all into 1 sig?

What? o.o Can you explain?

[Saph]

When I practice using my photoshop software I pick out pics on google and cut stuff out of them to make 1.

Isn't that okay here? Just wondering.

[Muffincat]

Yes, as far as I am aware, that's fine. You might want to try and find a render site or something if you want... but I just go to google for mine XD

I wasn't sure if you were making a joke about taking the negative/white "space" from the google page and making a blank sig XD

[Echo]

I might be starting on this soon.
I've gotten lazy.

Boom.

[Samus-Fan]

I didn't check the size of it...but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that passed the size limit xD

I'll try to come up with a signature for this one. I love making space signatures

[Muffincat]

I'm excited to see everyone's o:

and yeah, Echo, that is 620x250 pixels - the maximum size is 500x200 :)

It looks nice, though - just resize it :3

[Echo]

Ahhhhhhhhh, If I re-sized it it would decrease the level of quality and I wouldn't be able to move the text.
So I'll keep like that but I won't compete.

awww :(

I resized it and it doesn't seem too bad - do you want me to enter this one? I think it still looks really nice :)

[Echo]

Oh. well magical man with your awesome resizing powers.
Thank you!
And yes, please.

[Muffincat]

Sure thing - putting it up right now :3

Wouldn't want you to miss out on your first SotW after you went through all the hard work :P

[Echo]

Of course!
A good solid....5 minutes....
lol

MIIIIIINE!!! ^_^

Note that this is actually a piece of my artwork, and I realized that HAY, I gots one o those right there!

So I just cropped it to 500x200 and here you go ^_^

[Muffincat]

Samus, why does yours say "This Sucks" lol?

[Exentenzed]

http://www.gamers-forum.com/picture.php?albumid=187&pictureid=1004

Not realy a graphics person but i made this a couple of months back.
Might aswell join it in since its space themed. :P

[Samus-Fan]

Cause it sucks Dx the planet looks so unrealistic, the starfield came out bad, and the nebula just looks like random colors in space

Nice sig, but requires some screenshot proof.

[Saph]

Ehhhh I'm sorry I dont think I can give any 'layer proof' since the picture I used is a piece of art that I actually have for sale :-/ I just cropped it, and since its already made there's no way I can show what layers I used cause it had all objects flattened many weeks ago! >.<

Well, I guess that means it's not valid. Oh well, it's there.

[LiNuX]

We do make exceptions but I'll let muffin decide this one since she's the boss of this SOTW.

[Muffincat]

Since it's Echo's, Saph's, and Exentenzed's first time doing the Sig of the Week contest, I'd be prone to let them slide (though if they can provide proof, I'd really like it)... I don't think any of them ripped theirs, and they are new to the whole thing. I'd like them to be able to compete, and I don't think they are cheating.

Next time, however, I won't accept sigs from you guys without proof, since it is the rules and all. How does that sound? Any objections? I'm nervous "being the boss" :P

[Saph]

When you say layers, do you mean like a list of the little images that we overlap in order to make 1 picture?

Cause the picture I saw showing layers is COMPLETELY different from what I use.

I have a small list of tiny images that I can drag n' drop to make them go further to front or back...

So to get this put straight: What you're looking for is a screenshot of this list of small images?

[Muffincat]

Samus-Fan's post shows the proof we ask for very nicely. I'm not sure what you mean - could you take a screenshot of what you mean if it's not similar to the image in his/mine/other people's posts?

EDIT: if anyone wants to enter this contest, we can have up to 10 entries. We usually keep it at six since we don't usually get more than that, but feel free to keep entering! :)

[Saph]

Not sure how to take a screenshot now =S

[Muffincat]

How to Take a Screenshot in Microsoft Windows - wikiHow (http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screenshot-in-Microsoft-Windows)

This should help you D:

[Saph]

http://i968.photobucket.com/albums/ae161/Lollerscates/Capture.jpg
This should do it.

Mine is called Stacks instead of layers by the way, that is how mine looks!

And by the way, the picture above is a sample to show how mine looks, but no matter what I do I wont be able to give you proof of my earlier sig =(

You will just have to take my word for it!

But I assure you, I, and I alone own that picture, for SOME variation of proof you could go to the advertising topic and click the link I have to my shop there, there's a picture of it on the list of my items for sale.

[Muffincat]

What program do you use? o.o

[Saph]

Microsoft Digital Image Suite ^_^

Its an awesome program

[Exentenzed]

Nice sig, but requires some screenshot proof.

Ugh, Yea sure.. just gotta connect up my old computer first ^^ Give me a couple of hours to actually bother :D


Next time, however, I won't accept sigs from you guys without proof, since it is the rules and all. How does that sound? Any objections? I'm nervous "being the boss" :P

I appriciate the gesture, but im going to stick to the rules. Was just beeing lazy. :)

Update: Don't know if these will suffice as proof since Flame Painter (what i used to make the picture) dosent have the layer system...

But anyway, here are 2 pictures i took off of my old pc.

P.S: How do you use that "Click to show full text" window?

[vepanator]

We warmly welcome the first contestant of the "SOTW" contest, Vepanator! Tell me, how did you create this beautiful sig?

- Ooh, It's just a quick brainstorm from two picuters, that the first one was introduced me by lovely Muffincat, and the second was found via Google. Those two thingys together and SaiPaint tool... Well this is just what came up :)

Like I said earlier, it is REALLY beautiful picture, you must do these kind of things all the time?

- Not really, this is my first ever sigpic. Ive been studying media for 4 years now, and we have done 100000 posters and websites and etc, but this is my first ever sig.

Well all I can say is WOW. But tell us, what are you thinking about other sigs?

- They are all pretty, but the one that has a Space Unicor.... SORRY, Unicorn Faun in it looks rly good. I'm a bit voried about me winning because of it. Made by Muffincat ofc

I wish you all the luck Vepanator, any last words?

- I want to thank my mother and father for all the suport they have ever given to me, and thank all the super awesome moderators of this forum.

This is Station84.519 and I am Dr. Vote, stay tuned!

Neither screen shot can be accepted as proof for your entry.
It's needs to be a screenshot of your layers window.

You're so cute XD

and she is a SPACE UNICORN O_O

and yeah, guys, I don't know what to tell you except to use a program that has layers D:

GIMP is a free program you can try out x:

[Exentenzed]

Too bad Flame painte dosent have a layer system then... that was made by Ctrl-Z'ing myself trough 2 hours of boredom. :P
Ah well no matter.. As i've said, not realy a graphics person, just tossed that in as it was space themed.

Only thing left is to appeal to your logic and say, if i would have ripped, wouldnt i have ripped something better looking? xD

[Muffincat]

I'm going to let you enter this one anyway, but if you want to in the future... I suppose you could take multiple screenshots as you progressed through the sig and then put them together in an image as proof. Just an idea, I dunno what the other mods/the graphics people think about that. Either that, or getting a program with layers :P

But this one will be okay; it's your first time, after all :)

Sort of depends on the theme. :)

[Saph]

I suppose mine is okay too, then Muffin?

[Muffincat]

Yeah, Saph :3 Just remember next time you enter :)

[Saph]

Next time I'll make sure to have the layers screenied for you =) Just this one time it didnt work out cause..well...it TECHNICALLY has no layers anymore

[Dess]

I'm out of practice.... but here ya go...

Proofs. (http://img62.imageshack.us/i/proofsspace.png)

[Yuuki]

Hmmmmm, I'll try and whip something up!(:

[EpsilonX]

maybe i'll download gimp and make one real quick. I got a great idea

[Saph]

Is Gimp a good Sig creating software?

Does anyone actually know of one? The software I use to make my art is not really fit for sig making, so I'm looking around for something better.

Anyone got one?

[Dess]

I use Photoshop CS5.

[Synge]

GIMP isn't bad. It's no Photoshop but there isn't much better when it comes to freeware image editing.

Can I join in this? I'll whip up somethin quick and if I'm still too new just don't bother counting it, probably won't stand a chance anyway. :P
