SOTW IV :: Congratulations, Izzy!

[capt_weasle]

This should be fun. Also, what do the points look like now?

The current leader is [CENSORED].

[MattKestrel]

Yay, I actually did something this week. T'was a hard theme. -_-

[capt_weasle]

Tough. I couldn't really think of anything really good so I just went with my gut.

Week 5 :: Blimps // Zeppelins // Hot Air Balloons

This week we take to the skies and will be focusing on our modes of transportation that do not involve turbine engines and complimentary bags of peanuts. We've all seen well taken pictures of each of these three things this week, but now it's time to try and develop those pictures into something a little more interesting. I'm hoping this week everyone can make a noticeable edit to their original stock. You won't get extra points, but you may get extra votes! Have fun!

You really have a knack for scheduling these things, pawz. They always start at a time when I'm free enough to spare a sig once a week, but by about Week 3 or 4, bam! I'm swamped. This makes me very sad. :(

We'll see if I can get back into it soon.

Week 6 :: Famous Artists, Tragic Deaths

This week is brought to you in part by rocket_thumped. It's also Halloween this week, so I thought the theme would be somewhat tied in. Basically this week is asking you to depict an artist of any sort (author, painter, musician, calligrapher, etc) who has died a tragic death. The person should be famous, as in, I should be able to do a Wikipedia search and read at least a paragraph about them. Other than that, it's up to you how you want to depict them: as they were from a portrait on the internet or by utilizing their writing/artistic/musical style within your sig. It may seem hard at first but I hope you can all meet the challenge in front of you. Good luck and happy Halloween!

Damnit. I always lose 2-1 in a tie.

I'm confused on the theme, I cant get the description.

[numa_ninja]

You can quote it, and it'll be there. Here's the description just for the sake of it:

This week I realized we haven't done a colour as a theme this season. I don't remember if we've done a colour as a theme for every season, but I really like the sigs that everyone produces when we do use a colour as a theme. This week your challenge is to include the color Blue. Everyone will receive an extra 2 points if they manage to use International Klein Blue (hexadecimal: #002FA7 | R:0 G:47 B:167 | C:100% M:81% Y:34%). Sigs may be rejected this week because of standards. This means don't make a sig that is entirely IKB.

Basically what I'm saying is you cannot make a blue rectangle and submit it. It has to be more involved than that.

I feel this to be an unnecessary stab at me.

[Mute Monk]

Except the theme then was Censorship, not Black.

And I'm posting here because I've submitted a sig for this week...I think I'll give this a shot.

[capt_weasle]

Did seriously no more than the 8 people who voted for me not understand my entry? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to submit a blue rectangle? Fuck.

Really? You should talk to Lenny. He is responsible for at least 4 rules added on to the original rules. Sure, it might be a stab at you, but for 2 extra points I would imagine that someone (maybe not necessarily you) would make an IKB rectangle and submit it.

[origami_alligator]

For those of you who cannot read the description for the theme (because for some reason spoilers don't work on easterviking) here it is.

Week 7 :: (International Klein) Blue

This week I realized we haven't done a colour as a theme this season. I don't remember if we've done a colour as a theme for every season, but I really like the sigs that everyone produces when we do use a colour as a theme.

I thought it was brilliant as a one-off, for the record.

Week 8 :: Cardboard
Yup. Cardboard. No special rules or regulations this week. In fact, Rule 4 doesn't even apply this week.

[NicNac14]

hey, where is week 7's voting thread?
oh and a very bland week 8, good for a creative mind, amped to make my siggy.

Announcement
SOTW is closing early because southpaw cannot continue with it any further. Basically what this means is that nobody is the winner of Season IV. I apologize because I thought this was going to be one of the best SOTW season's and it has been. All of you dedicated imagers out there have proven to me that you really care about this contest, which makes me feel proud to be heading something that a group of members in the community are at least slightly passionate about. Unfortunately the events outside of the internet can get in the way of events happening on the internet and thus the events themselves suffer. I feel that my job should take precedence over SOTW, regardless of how sad I am to not feel up to continuing the final week of the season.
I'd like to extend my congratulations to capt_weasle and Yanni, who probably would have duked it out for points in the final weeks. You two may share the glory of first place. I'll just be humble and bow out. :P
Thank you once again to everyone who participated. SOTW is amazing and you guys are the reason why.
<3
