Red Ajah Autumn Fair: Siggy Contest

[beanie]

Welcome to the Red Ajah Autumn Fair Siggy Contest!

While the Autumn Fair doesn't officially start until tomorrow (well my tomorrow anyways), I have gotten permission to post this thread early to give you guys more weekend time to work on your siggys. The rest of the threads will be going up over the next few days.

So here’s your chance to show us all your awesome siggy making skills! Everyone is welcome to participate, so don't worry if you're new to siggy making. If you don’t know how to make sigs or would like a refresher of the basics, Ithi's GIMP 101 class explains it nicely :http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/70957-ithis-make-your-own-siggy-kit-gimp-101-for-absolute-beginners/

 

The theme is :surprisesurprise: Autumn! It can be anything you like, so long as it has some autumny elements in it. All sigs must be 500x125.

 

This will officially run from the 7th of October until the 14th. I would like all the submissions to be in by the 10th or 11th though so that the voting can begin. If you’re really nice to me though, I MIGHT accept late submissions.

 

Here’s how it works. Everyone can submit two siggys, though depending on how many there are, I might ask you too choose only one as your final sumbission. Please submit your entries to me via PM. You can change your submission at any time before the voting starts. Once I have all of them, I will post them in this thread for everyone to vote on. I will not include the names of those who made them to make the voting a little more fair.

 

Everyone can vote, including those who submitted siggys, however you may not vote for your own. Please PM your votes to me. The winner will be announced on the 14th and presented with a siggy proclaiming their awesomeness.

 

For voting there will be three different categories, best text, best background, and best overall. You may nominate one siggy for each of these categories. Your vote PM should look like this:

 

Best Text -- #

Best Background -- #

Best Overall -- #

 

Feel free to ask if you have questions. I'll do my best to answer them.

 

To summarize:

Any specific text?

[beanie]

Nope, just whatever you want to put or whatever you feel would match the theme best

[Daruya]

It's been awhile since I've had time to work on siggies but I might give this a try. First I have to get the computer my sister gave us (old desktop) set up so I don't have to jostle my kids out of the way to use the only computer we have now . . . My youngest is officially addicted to Minecraft and hovers when I'm on the computer, waiting for me to vacate the seat so he can jump into it.

[RandA lThor]

Tell him that you're addicted to DM and that you'll hover over him when he plays minecraft.

[Daruya]

Right now I'm multitasking. I'm playing a game on FB while I clean up in the computer room/spare room. Talk about a mess . . . *sigh*

[Valeria Al'Terra]

I don't see the rule of Men who can channel need not submit a siggy... hmmmm a clever trap maybe?

 

Also I may give this a shot if I find time!

[beanie]

Oooh yay more people!

 

Lol Dar you should get him a phone with minecraft on it so then he doesn't have to use the computer xD

[Daruya]

My boys won't be getting smartphones for awhile yet. We can't afford the data plans! Right now, I have the only smartphone with unlimited data and he's not getting MY phone!

[Daruya]

My computer burped and posted twice.

 

Anyway, /thread hijack!

[lolguy26]

so if i threaten ask nicely can i send more than one??

[lolguy26]

cy cy??:innocent:

[beanie]

Lolly.... That's not the best way to go about making me do you favors

 

 

Alright well I'll do it like this. You can submit 2 siggys if you want. If there are too many though I will have to ask you too choose one as your final submission. Sound good?

 

I'll update the OP with this since I think it will be simpler.

[The_Fnorrll_Reborn]

I really wanted to get into this but as soon as I started I remembered how much I HATE working to 500x125 restrictions

 

Hopefully I will overcome this feeling of annoyance and submit something in time.

[beanie]

xD I know the feeling. I do hope you'll be able to submit something though

[Tynaal Consen]

Suck it up, warder dearest!

[beanie]

Oooh can I expect to be getting a siggy from the NoMmy MoNster too? :hopeful:

[Tynaal Consen]

Shall I be getting brownies or other Nommies for it?

[beanie]

But of course! just as soon as my banishment from my computer is over that is

[Tynaal Consen]

Huzzah! then I shall enter

 

You are banished from your computer? How is it that you're still posting then?

[beanie]

Yay

 

I'm using my phonethatcantactuallycallanyonebutisgreatforgettingonlineduringhomeworktime

[lolguy26]

[beanie]

MoNster, here are the brownies I promised

 

[nicana]

I'm really new at siggy making, but this sounds like fun. I'll give it a shot.

[beanie]

I've gotten a lot of awesome siggys so far. Thank you guys!

 

 

Tomorrow (10th) is probably going to be the last day, so if you haven't sent yours yet you should do it soon If you're working on one but you don't think you'll be finished with it in time, I'd like it if you let me know in advance so that I can save you a spot.
