The People's Sig of the Week #1


New Frontier

Recommended Posts

This was definitely political at the time I used it:

My war sig vs. NoV:

And even with bad spelling:

Those are somehow the least random sigs I've used regarding politics.

We must request the source for the images used in these signatures should you be attempting to enter them into the contest.


(On the other hand, abdur, that picture is beautiful.)

I'm commenting on the ridiculous notion that using "renders" or stock photos is considered plagiarism; something you apparently argue in favor of and yet hypocritically do in your own work.

You're putting words in my mouth of course, because I've never said anything about using stock photos being plagiarism - but even if I had it hardly matters because it's not your sources that bother me but rather the complete lack of creativity and concepts in sigs like yours and Davian's. I will use several images, alter them if needed and sew them together into an actual illustration with a real idea behind it unrelated to the original pictures... meanwhile guys like you take someone's actual artwork, that they created from scratch not just a photo, then just run a filter over it and add some sparklies or flames and then put your name on it for crying out loud... sort of a major difference.

But I'm sure you knew that before you decided to attempt an argument, so w/e.

===========

Lots of fun entries in this one.

EDIT: nevermind, not worth it. Sorry for wasting your time, der Rote Baron. Also, sorry von Tipitz, that was incredibly stupid of me.

~snip~ and that hulk lady from your previous signature looks an awful lot like the hulk lady from the stock art you cut her out of, and I could go on, and on, and on...)

Gariyuki.... :(

Please, do not ascribe what you consider to be lame in the she-hulk sig to der rote baron. That was my submission.... I take full ownership of said lameness.

This is my PSOTW entry, a modified version of the recently created signature (credit to me) that looks like this:

[img]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff182/BlueConcept/SOTW16-1.png[/img]

in which I only used one stock image, that being located here [url="http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-278"]LINK TO STOCK IMAGE[/url] which was published and is now in the public domain (I think).

Anyways, 90% handrawn for the first image, + an extra 13% handrawn second image, so we get to 103% hand drawn signature. I think we have a winner based on pure hard work and artistic skill, never mind the aesthetic qualities and homage to a certain beautiful former governor turned future-presidential runner up. :smug:

Oh my god...
I have made a huge mistake and I apologize. :( Also, I don't think the she-hulk sig is lame, I just thought it was a good example of der rote baron's hypocrisy... and apparently it wasn't for obvious reasons.

Once again, sorry.

What's with the bears, Putin and Palin? Needs more hot girl with shotgun.

I can't believe you don't remember this. During the 2008 Presidential campaign, Palin did an interviews where she mentioned the fact that Alaska is really close to Russia in a way that implied that being that close to Russia gave her foreign policy experience. This was the origin of the SNL joke "I can see Russia from my house."

Vladimir Putin is using binoculars to look at Palin in Alaska. A bear is a symbol of Russia.

Since it's a famous quote by George Washington, I will allow it.

Please, the contest is for new work, not old and moldy stuff Anu dug out of his closet.
[/quote]

Sorry, didn't realize it was for new work, I withdrawal my entries. You can add not reading to not being able to spell late at night. And they may be old and moldy stuff I pulled out of the closet, but you should have seen the other things in there (including pollexter, but he chose to stay in the closet :)
