My set contest type thing (OVER! FINITO!)
Tue Mar 01, 2005 11:12 am
ENDING APRIL 1st!
Okay, I thought it was about time I got some professional help for my sets, seeing as no matter how hard I try all my sets end up looking like the result of a night eating beans.
Sooo.... I decided to hold this contest. First thing's first - the prizes.
There will be no prizes. All sets are made by the generosity of your heart...
Sorry, okay I'll be serious.
First Place
50k + 2 Spooky Map Pieces and a Bottled Faerie (your choice)
Second Place
30k + 1 Spooky Map Piece and a Bottled Faerie (your choice)
Third Place
20k + a Bottled Farie (your choice
)
And everyone else gets random stuff I pull out of my safety deposit box. Everyone gets a prize, so you may as well enter. All prizes pulled out of my SDB will be worth more than 1k, I promise.
Okay, now for the topics...
First of all, I want no animations. I just don't like having things moving around. Gives me urges to kill something.
Other than that, I'm pretty open about it, really. I just want something that'll look good, might represent my personality, bla bla bla.
NEOPETS:
*Lupes,
*Darigan pets,
*Battledome,
*Evil money Tree (don't ask)
MUSIC:
*Linkin Park
*Eminem
*Guitars (electric or acoustic, I don't care)
LANDSCAPES:
*Apocalyptic scenry
RANDOM:
*Things exploding
*Something.... random
*Pirates... Maddox style
ANIMALS:
*Unless the animal is super 1337, like laser sharks or monkey ninjas (please, please) or something along those lines, then I don't really want any animals.
*Please, I wanna see monkey ninjas
GAMES:
*Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 or 3. Most preferably some without Raiden in it (blonde haired bloke, very strange)
*Any shooting type game
CARTOONS:
*Magical Trevor
*Salad Fingers
*Neon Genesis Evangelion
Bonus points if you can somehow mix all of these together.... just kidding.
But seriously, anything that you reckon might be good. Something random, or really cool. Or both, hey
I also like those sets with transparency (like, cut off corners, etc) in them. Don't ask me why, but it just looks cool
And I know this may sound a bit rough to some people, but chances are I might not be accepting any Paint images for 1st 2nd or 3rd. It's not that I hate Paint or it's users, it's just that unless you manage to do some unbelievable work with it, most Paint Images lack quality when changed to JPEG or GIF. I'm not saying I won't accept Paint, I'm just saying that there's less chances to win if you do submit.
You can submit more than once, and you can have as many sets as you want, but I won't be giving out bonus stuff to people who make 1000^23 sets.
Oh and, no sets regarding Pawkeet and Poptarts. Personal reasons have lead me to hate the creatures, and the food.... yeah
I don't know when I'll end this contest. Probably in a month. Maybe later. Maybe later later. Dunno, but I'll post when I feel like ending the contest soon.
So... yeah. If you still haven't fallen asleep whilst reading, I wish you good luck, and have fun

I'm not sure what you get after spooky map. Spooky Food I assume, and a couple of neopoints. I think you get a Trading card as well. Not sure.
Well, I look forward to seeing your set

Im definately entering! Im almost done with my Magical Trevor set
Tue Mar 01, 2005 11:39 am
This is good. I never thought I'd get so many responses so quick. Okay well I've gotta go right now. It's getting quite late 'round here. I'll be back on tommorow, ready to congradulate all the good entries
Tue Mar 01, 2005 12:01 pm
Here it is. I hope you like it. Im not sure that I do though I might enter another one.
I might enter another one.

Aww, I tried to make a darigan set but it's ugly... You don't wanna see but I'll post it anyway.
Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:50 pm
This is my first time making a set. I don't really like it but, oh well. I might make you another less plain set later.

You are missing out on not having animation if you like to see things blow up. If you don't like the game, then you'll hate the set.

Just as a reminder, all PPT avs must be 80x80 or under, and all sigs 400x100 or under... sorry.

Gah, the borders EXPANDED THEM. Easily remedied. *Points up to fixed set*
and I know you don't want animation, but I couldn't resist. It is very subtle.
Is there not something irrisistable about lit TNT?

Wow, nice entries guys
Neopets Addict, that set is awesome. But if you want to submit another one, even better
Slorg, that set aint too bad. Really. Love the font
Spycat, It's a good set, but it might need a border around it. Otherwise, it's pretty good.
Stampsyne, your set is great as well. Heheh, I'm glad somebody has realised my dream of being a demolitions expert The animated one aint too bad either. My urge to kill is nothing more than a desire to scribble intensively and rip paper j/k.
Also, I hope you don't mind if for the duration of this contest I keep the sets on your image hosts? I'll move them over once the contest is over, I promise
I don't mind a bit of animation I guess, but so long as it really is subtle. I mean, I just don't like sets that move around a lot.

First set, first attempt .... I have loads more images, but thought I'd start with that darned evil money tree 
done on psp7
... is very odd to work without animation!
and darigan ....
With a little "subtext" ...
(upload when you can ... so far ok on bandwidth, but you never know)
