-coughwhydidyouhavetocloseyourcomprubypokecough-
Yeah, since rubypoke didn't have the time, I thought I would, so
Welcome to Psypoke's Sig Comp!
Let me re-explain some stuff. This Competition, you may only enter sigs. I'm really sorry guys, but I have no experience judging fusions(I can't even make a decent fusion -.-)
DA RULEZ
-insertforumruleshere-
Only sigs may be entered.
Don't take anyone elses art/ideas. The sig must be your own work.
You may edit your entry as many times as you want as long as it is before the round ends.
You may do one of the two sigs, not both.
All sigs must follow the signature rules.
At the end of the competition, your scores for each of the rounds will be avaraged and the three highest scores will get some nifty prize.
Tips from Dragonite
- Save as png, not jpg.
- Try not to have too many colors in one sig. If you have more that 3-4 colors, try and make them blend together, or get rid of a few colors.
- Make sure the text is readable
- Be creative! Try using different pokemon images, different fonts, etc.
- Don't cram everything in one place, but don't space things out too much, either.
You will be rated on:
Quality/Overall Appearance: I don't like blurry images. I like sigs that stand out.
Colors: Your colors shouldn't clash.
Text: Text effects are nice, But your text should be readable.
ROUND ONE
Sig#1:
Pokemon: Exploud and... Wigglytuff
Text: Pump up the Volume!
Colors: Shades of Purple.
Sig#2:
Pokemon: 2 out of the 3 'Hitmons' (Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Hitmontop)
Text: Fear my Strength!
Colors: Brown or Orange or Maroon
Happy sig-making!
ROUND ONE ENDS FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 22
*Thanks Rubypoke for some of the inspirations for this art comp.

Thanks for helping Ruby100, but I can answer all questions.
You're only allowed to enter one. You'll have to get rid of the other. And Birdknight, I'd prefer that you do wigglytuff since thats what it says, and everyone else has done wigglytuff. It will be easier when I judge.
Nice entries everyone.

:roll: OMG YOU POOR LITTLE THING, I'LL LET YOU HAVE SPECIAL TREATMENT AND WIN THE COMPETITION BECAUSE I FEEL SO SORRY FOR YOU!
I truly am sorry that your dad died, but don't think that you deserve special treatment just because of it.
I wouldn't even be coming online anymore if my dad died ;o I'd be mourning his death.
Quote: Any way I just Have one promblem that I'm not sure about. Is it OK to have the sprites 3 in a row?
No, its not ok. You must only have 1.5 explouds and 5.6 Wigglytuffs. Exploud must be 134 pixels from the left and wigglytuff must be in the top-right hand corner EXACTLY or I won't accept it </sarcasm>
Of course you can have three I like creativity.

Well I was disappointed when rubypoke closed his contest, but at least there is a new one I can try. Well.. Here goes nothing,
I'm not really good at sigs, but I have to give it a shot.

THe simplest thing got him. A plow hit his truck on the side and a piece of glass hit him in the eye nose and brain. Well actually he's not dead yet but is in a full body cast in the hospital and is having brain surgery. But to me it sounds like he will die from that huge medical condition.

Come on, won't someone else enter? I have yet to make the prize, but whatever. Don't think 'Oh this person's going to beat me, I'm not going to enter.' I'll tell you what you're doing wrong and you'll get better. Anyway, my point is, please enter if you haven't already.
I might extend the end to Sat., since some can't come on during weekdays.

Like it?
You know, if you ever wanted to add a recolour/fusion section, I could help you judge or something.

This is my best signature banner ever
- NotJoking-
I hope I win! n_n
GoldenQuagsire: There's rubypoke's art competition with fusions and stuff in, this is a signature competition just for signature banners. Makes sense really.

Ha, funny how your name's are soooo close to each other and yet, both of your sigs are soooo close together in resemblance.
Oh well, beggers can't be choosers.
How's this for a Sig contest?
Ya, now that's a new sig for me. I did two new things on that:
-Found out how to transparincfy certian parts of the image
-Made a "raised text to the textured sufrace" as the Photoshop 6.0 Studio book says. Actually, I use Photoshop CS, but this still works. I also learned how to do the first thing in there too, Dragonite! (Ha! I really didn't have to ask you after all, Dragonite! Thanks for not telling me though; I learned something today!)
Oh well, hope it does good in the judging! Good luck everyone!

Dragonite wouldn't fit onto my avvie
I get backgrounds from lots of places. I made the background for my current sigs using photoshop brushes. Or Get a bunch of images, blend them together, change the opacity of the bg(btw, nice job Charizardrake. Did you figure out how to blend? ) Or Try a google search, you'll get loads of good things.

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!! My dad pulled through and is home!
He can't do psyical activities, walk, drive, and hold objects.
His bones are missing major amounts of marrow and almost everybone is cracked. His Heart doesn't beat reguaraly and has no control of breathing.
He has a special machine that breathe's for him.
The Doctor said if we are lucky he will live for 5 more years.
Just wanted to tell ya'll so you don't get to concerned for me.
The good part is that he will live a good life and is still alive!

Good luck everyone!
I'd just like to say that everyone has pretty nice sigs. They're all good; I think mine needs to become better if I hope to win this Competition! Ruby100...I'm happy for you even though it seems like an unlikely story...if it is true then please tell your dad that I wish he has good luck. Dragonite, don't rush yourself. Just take your time and get to it when you can.
