Set Contest 100k grand prize!!! ***** Winners Posted!!!

Fri Sep 15, 2006 5:13 pm

Hello all.

I recently decided that I have a new movie husband besides my dear Jack. I registered on a forum elsewhere with a corresponding name and decided that I now need an av and sig that are more appropriate for that identity. or that alias, if you prefer to call it... Because, my new movie husband is....


*drum roll please*

SARK! From the show, ALIAS.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to craft an exquisite Sarkie poo avatar and signature for me.

Prizes: 100k NP for grand prize, 50k for first runner up and 25k each to the second and third runners-up. Additional prizes may be awarded at my sole discretion.

REQUIREMENTS:

    *Said av and sig should fit the size criteria for a regular pinkpt av and sig, with the exception that the file size can be twice as large as normal (100kb)
    *At least somewhere in the sig should be my new alternate name, Miz Sark.
    *No subtext is needed but it is welcomed if you want to put it in; "my loyalties are flexible" or "darling, it's not like that" would be the only acceptable subtexts. (don't include the quote marks please).

    *I prefer images of Mr. Sark [the character] instead of just David Anders [the actor], although there are a few banners of him on his own website (davidanders.com) where he is grinning and his freckles really show, which I lurve. So, use your best judgement.
    *We don't so much like the buzz cut phase from early season 3, but since he is Foxy Hot all the time, even those pictures are ok if they inspire you.
    *Prefer pictures of him grinning or smirking over pictures of straight face or scowls. Prefer looking at camera over looking away. Think Foxy Hot not goofy.

    *There will be absolutely no tolerating of images of my Sarkie poo with other women. Showing other men will lose you brownie points. Sark only, please.
    *Multiple images per sig are cool, but not needed.
    *Any color is cool, but blues, from aqua to navy, are preferred because a. they go so nicely with his eyes, and b. blue is Sark's color.
    *Animated/changing sigs might be cool, but I usually don't dig animations that are too fast-changing.


Got it?
Well I'm all eager to get these but I want everyone to have time to finish so you'll be interested in entering.... Ok, snap decision - You've got until September 29th to get your entries in. Enter as many times as you like.

K, thanks guys!

=====================
i know it's been over the weekend so maybe folks haven't been on to see this contest; but also perhaps it is too much work to go out and find pictures.

So, for the sedentary, here are some pretty clear screenshots where he doesn't have a wonky look on his face.... but by all means don't limit yourselves! :)

Thanks stampy, great start to the contest! That is such a cool design idea; I'm almost tempted to say if you want to make more entries, just plop more optional pictures in there because i don't know if there is a cooler design!

but, you guys always prove me wrong. I never cease to be amazed at all the amazing ideas you come up with, each one better than the last!!

can't wait to see everyone else's ideas too!

PS creative editing on the smooching picture. I am impressed. When I said no other chicks I knew that I was sadly excluding that most excellent picture; thank you for proving me wrong :)

*EDIT* Wow, this has been really quiet. So quiet, in fact, that I had to edit this post AGAIN so I wouldn't double post when listing the winners!!


Drum roll please!


First Place, and the Grrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd Prize of 100,000 NP and the chance to have your set used on the forum allalias.com goes to:

LOSER1921 with the "darling" set!

Really the simplest set, but while I do love all the pictures of Mr. Sark, some of them just really made me go "oooooooh", and this set just caught my eye and ended up being my favorite!


---------------


TIED for Second place, and both receiving the second prize of 50,000 NP and the chance to have your set used on the forum at sarkgasm.com and another forum I haven't decided yet, goes to:

Kitten Medli for the sparkly aqua set! I love the designs and swirlies

AND

Stampsyne for the cut-in-half-with-my-name kissy sark set. Ooh la la!


---------------


The runner up, with the 25,000 NP prize, goes to:

Zilary, for the flexible loyalties set! I like the font, the design, and actually that hat he's got on is from one of my favorite disguises :)



Everyone else, great job - I really did like all of the sets but I had to pick favorites. If you post a trade I'll send you a booby prize. :)

Please post or PM or neomail me with trades so I can pay out the prizes!
