Shoumaker Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited)   The theme this week was:  Football/Soccer  nic_23   GunWrath   Erebos   The deadline for voting is Friday, February 22nd.   ---------------------  Since this sections gone inactive for the last few days I thought I'd make the voting thread if that's cool with everyone. If not feel free to lock it. I guess this week we will decide only who come's in first, second and third only since there were only three entries and the deadline had passed.  Made the deadlines for votes earlier to help benefit next week's competition.  Removed iHydra's vote because it's just too confusing to figure out who he voted for in what position. So we can't tell if he voted based on the colour of his post or the order that he put them in.  Voting so far   • Nic_25 -17 Points • Erebos -13 Points  • GunWrath -11 Points Edited February 22, 2013 by shoumic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schemer Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 shoumic, Thank you for posting the voting thread.

GunWrath Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I guess people would rather do GTA SOTW's  1. nic_23 2. Erebos  Not sure if my votes count.. but I like the picture Nic popped on the table.. simple yet self-explanatory and dark. Erebos had abit too much smudge for me. But good to see another artist using those techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schemer Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I guess people would rather do GTA SOTW's I thought they would be allot of soccer fans around here... guess I was wrong, eh? Â I don't know, maybe SOTW #60 could be places around the world or something... just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerGrin Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 One of the reasons why there aren't much entries to SOTWs lately is that the themes do not appeal to many members. We could do one thing. We could use the voting thread for suggesting the next week's theme as well. I guess that would solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunWrath Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 To be honest, the Visual Arts section normally goes through inactivity here and there. But I agree, perhaps place up suggestions on a voting stage and see where it goes. People can vote for their top 3 and then place a suggestion underneath. Whoever decides to create the next topic can pick from the suggestion hat so to speak. Â I have no problem with the GTA thing but doing the same renders or characters get old after awhile and gfx is so much more than just that. I'd like to see topics that aren't game based and inspire having to use your imagination. Perhaps a free canvas topic, make what you want, no specific theme to follow just your creativity.

Schemer Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Â I been thinking of creating a topic to be pinned that list the guidelines for SOTW and also list the winners of each week. I made the logo/headers for it and put everything together to PM to Narcis and get the approval but I know someone else was also planning something similar to this. But if you would to keep this thread open I think it would be the perfect place for discussions whether it be the theme for a upcoming week or changing a rule. Â Adding polls each week I think would be a little to much though. That's allot of threads that would have to be started which in my mind is pointless.

nic_23 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) 1 gunwrath - really nice work mate i like it. 2 erebos same again very nice but the effects made it not as good. Â Â Â Alos here are some tips.... first football is a good theme for a gfx website SOTW but its not a good theme for our SOTW. things that have done good are cars and gaming etc... something exiting, maybe do women as the next theme that might go well.... or music. Â second, do not make the intervals so long, make the deadline for entries in 4 or 5 days from making it and make the voting 2 or 3 days, you could open it on Monday and finish entries on Friday and get the voting thread up for the weekend then on Sunday night count the votes. after all its signature of the week not signature of the fortnight. Â if you need any help i can give a hand. Â Edited February 21, 2013 by nic_23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoumaker Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) @nic_23 Â Honestly I think we don't need to leave the voting period open for that long. I changed the closing date to tommorow so you guys can decide properly on a new theme which people will be interested in and get the new SOTW thread underway on a high. Â What do you guys think?
