Silkroad Online Forums

HEY ALL YOU YOUNG, SAVVY, HAPPY GO LUCKY WANNABE ARTISTS!!!!!

How would you like the chance to lift self esteem? Be somebody? Have a step in the right direction?

I can hear the thoughts in your head now. "Yeh Ziggy, that sounds teh r0xz0r!"

Well heres my offer! You have the chance to make an AVATAR and SIG for the highest posting not administrative individual on the forum! This means your work could be seen all over the internet* more than anyone elses!!!!

There are no restrictions apart from not letting it suck.
Some simple factors which you may wish to include are as follows:

-IGN = Yaris
-Guild = KuroMiboujin (this means black widowin kanji)
-My in game character is the chick with wierd buns on the side of her head
-Strength / fire / glaive user
-If any job at all im a trader @ lvl 2
-My favorite colour is green.

It is not a 100% requirement that any of the above information be included, its just something to get the wheels in motion so to speak. Anything will be accepted as an entry** so long as some manner of thought was put into it and it is not crude or of a defamatory nature.

DONT HOLD BACK LADIES AND GENTS! YOUR TIME TO SHINE COULD BE NOW!!


*by internet we mean this site only kthx.
**Animated gifs are really cool

so your holding a contest with absoulutly no prize so that you can get a free sig and take your pick from a whole ton of them?

sorry but i don't think its gonna happen unless you add a prize off some kind to it.

don't be mad at me for stating the truth

i thought it was self explanitory
why would i include a prize when i could just do it mysself
if you have nothing constructive to add dont ruin the thread with a long negitive post with obscene gaps between your displeasures. if you go through this forum you will see threads with such posts as "nice effect, im gonna try that!" and so on.

Just giving some inspiration for someone to have a go. Dont hate, congratulate.

so...



Ziggy wants a Siggy eh?


I'll consider doing one in a couple of hours for ya.


Would be extra awesome if you could post say 5 or so screenies of your character doing various things - trading on a horse/camel, fighting a monster, charging up, just walking around or whatever takes your fancy

WELL then i'm sorry bout the gaps i've seen it in the forums before and liked the effect it had on the reading (let it read more like i wanted it to sound)

so here goes:

Congrats on making a contest, its really a great acheivement!

did i do ok?

lol i want a sig pic too... wish i was artistic enough...

btw... how do people upload their pics?

For those with a genuine interest. (so far seeminly only moley)
Here is a link to a file with some snapshots of my character old and new and some wallpaper shots i took just because i could.

Clicky~

this could be used as a nice sig, just need a little editing

thats not a skill, thats a portal to a dungeon

being the only submission lemon is winning.

Its pretty cool tho so im not all too fussed

btw its not a skill, its the entry circle to the stone cave which does not work presently.

...LOL

That face is priceless.

Like any contest, it must end soon.
Its currently 3:30ish pm on the Sunday the 19th of march.

Any submission has until Friday to be considered valid.
Otherwise lemon wins in a clean sweep.

Although it was never mentioned, I assumed common sence would prevail in the size department.

honestly nobody would approve of seeing that after every post.

especially at the rate i use to post.

heh, well I thought I'd post the larger res version to allow you to resize it how you see fit

Someone else will have to add some badass caption or character text to this one. Fonts are not my forte. Or, if someone is inspired and wants the project file to work with I can give them that or (assuming they don't use Paint.NET) individual layers as image files with a .txt index of transparency settings.

*thinks bakemaster knows exactly what "for great justice" means*

i lol'd... ziggy holding a glaive ftw!

Actually the caption I was thinking of comes from penny-arcade, but unfortunately is not appropriate for this forum. It's the Merch's bit of wisdom, for those who recall...

Better late than never , I proudly present to you my newest painted creation. I must say I get better and better every time I try !



and without the neat paint writing
