Official SOTM XXXV

[JackAttack]

Welcome to the Official Signature of the Month XXXV
Hosted by JackAttack

Quick Introduction: Previously a renowned site competition, the Signature of the Month contest used to be the bread and butter of the Artistic Inspiration. After a long hiatus and general inactivity, Kylo has given me the permission to bring back the competition. Hopefully it can serve as inspiration for a more active artistic community.

Each signature competition is open for a period of 18 days, starting from the 1st of each month to the 18th (this month's has started a day late). Competitors have 9 days to enter the contest, with the following 9 days used for the voting period. The contest is open to everybody, regardless of post count and skill. Each contest is ran anonymously as entrants will not be revealed until voting is over; this reduces the chance of the competitions turning into a popularity contest.

Rules:

• Entries must be sent via Private Message to JackAttack.
• Do not include any members name to your entry unless allowed to do so or if it is relevant to the theme.
• Both Vertical and horizontal sigs are allowed, but can not exceed 500px(Width) x 250px(Height) or vice versa.
• You cannot vote for your own entry.
• Your entry must be fresh, this means that you cannot use a signature created in the past.
• To make the Site Trophy eligible, there must be at least 5 entrants.
• The signature must fit the theme selected.
• Do not ask anybody or force anybody to vote for a certain entry.
• Abusive language will not be tolerated, either towards myself, other members, or entrants.
• Votes by members with less than 25 posts will not count.
• Anybody revealing who's entry is who's will have their vote and/or entry nullified.
• Do not post in this thread that you have sent in your entry. I will try to reply to all Private Messages saying that I have received your entry.
• The signature MUST! have "PS3Trophies.com", "PS3T.com", or "SOTM" included in it or else it will not be accepted.
• If you do wish to enter, do NOT upload your entry to any of your accounts on image hosting websites (Photobucket, Imageshack etc.). Either upload it on a different image host, or upload your entry without logging in. This is only so that other users won't come across your entry on any accounts you may have. Two good sites that you can use to upload to without the need for an account are imgur and TinyPic.

The rules that are in bold are the rules that are most commonly broken. Ensure you have read those rules and understand them, otherwise you may have your vote and/or entry disqualified.

Mmm Sig of the Month is back

[Artemis]

It was about time.. Good that you brought this back Jacky.
Can't wait to see the entries.

[Prosthetic]

Good to see this back. I hope I can get something in for it.

[themute88orl]

Oh, I'm no artist but I do enjoy peoples work. I can't to see the entries and I'm glad this is getting brought back from the dead.

Thanks Jackattack and I look forward to the entries.

[JackAttack]

There is currently about 3-4 days left to enter.

[Qurb]

Didnt notice this thread Will definitely be entering! Thanks for bringing this back.

[JackAttack]

Entries must be received by 12:00 Central standard time tonight for them to be eligible in the contest. Voting will start tomorrow.

[JackAttack]

The deadline for entering has been reached, and now anyone may vote for whichever of the six entries you think is the best.

Remember to vote with reason, and you may explain yourself if you feel it necessary.

*It appears that there has been a recent change in the editor. I was unable to add a poll to the thread through editing, thus making it impossible to vote through a poll. Instead everyone must post who they are voting for (supplying a reason is not necessary, but recommended). I'll contact the admins to see if I can get this change reverted, and if I'm able to add the poll re-votes may be necessary so that the statistics can be added to the poll. I apologize for this inconvenience.

My vote will go to Entry #4. I like the effects and the colors, and it has some good depth.

[Pancake Model]

They're all very nice My vote is for Entry 3.

[Artemis]

It took me a while to choose between sig 2 and 4 as they both look awesome to me. I will pick #2 though, because I'm a sucker for colors like that.

[UNCLEPAULIE]

I like sig 2 , looks sweet and stands out from the rest , I am no artist and they are all class but this one catches my eye .

I vote for sig 2

[Hitmon133]

I vote for number 3. There's just something about that colour scheme that I love. Add that to how simple and well done it is and it's got my vote

[themute88orl]

These are great. Good job everyone. I have to vote for #6 though. The background makes me think of a VR training/Animus thing going on. I feel like Raiden fits nicely on top of the background and I like how "SOTM XXXV" is kinda lit up.

[Luckay]

Great entries here, I'll have to vote for #4 though, I like the blending of and effects of Raiden.

[daftprophet]

It took me a while to choose between sig 2 and 4 as they both look awesome to me. I will pick #2 though, because I'm a sucker for colors like that.

Pretty much this for me too. Gotta go with #2. I really like the content and color scheme. Great entries though!

[Chambers35]

#2 gets my vote.

Quick reason being it's the best quality, and that's something I find very important

Good luck everyone. Shame I missed it, maybe next time.

[Ramon3110]

Out of all the sigs here the smoothest and nicely made is #2

Good flow,focal,blurring,depth,text-work #2 gets my vote

[Prosthetic]

Number 3 gets my vote. The lighting, depth and colours are really nice.
