We've already had this theme...

Thank you for letting me know, I must have have skipped that one. Sorry.
It's been changed now. Hope you have fun.

[Strategist]

Im guessing the original theme was 7 deadly sins? Yeah we've had that one before. Thanks for putting this one up though, seems interesting. Lets see some outstanding entries this week guys

[Yung]

I'm really interested in seeing what direction our graphic designers are going to go with for this weeks SOTW. We have some really talented people here and this is the most excited I've been to see this rounds voting since the 8-Bit theme.

[IcedEarth]

Don't know too much about The Seven Virtues, definitely going to have to do some research before starting this one.

Anyway, great theme. It's going to be challenging

[Trichomes]

I'd love to possibly start making signatures again, but I may have to wait until next week. I'm not sure if I can relate to this theme...

Ugh, I actually really want to enter this one, but photoshop's decided my serial number is no longer valid

Did you buy your copy of Photoshop?

[Drakonid]

What it should have been.

No, I didn't.

It's been installed on this computer since it came out (CS4) and last month decided the serial wasn't valid, n I've used up the "free trial" you get.

[xSerpentine]

You could always get the latest Photoshop at Krawk-Bay.
And also a little zip file with what you need to run CS4 without serials. I hope you get it up soon and take part in the SOTW

What it should have been.

Nobody want's to do that.
Take part in the SOTW then, you could use your ponies

You could start right now with this theme, Trichomes can do anything if she wants
Take part

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. Probably runs out

Anyway PM me if you need help getting it...

[NapisaurusRex]

Themes like this make me wish I did signatures.

[Adam]

I have a signature from years ago that would fit one of these virtues. I would enter that one but I would feel as if I cheated the system.

^{I am waiting on those Signatures people.}

I want all you artists out there to whip up a signature worthy enough to call yourself artists, this theme wont be available again. Chop Chop.
Earn yourself some bragging rights.

[IcedEarth]

I'm stuck for ideas, I still need to look into the whole seven virtues thing and get some inspiration. I also got loads of deadlines so I just hope I can get something made for this.

[esotericaKoalan]

Love (or any other virtue that a heart can represent):


Click image for PSD.

Too bad I posted it on deviantART already.

[IcedEarth]

Looks great did you make those swirly patterns yourself? If so, how?

[esotericaKoalan]

Yeah, it uses no outside resources. It's mostly smudged using a basic circle brush at 91% strength (you can download the psd if you really want to see).

[IcedEarth]

Damn, that's awesome. Going to give this a go now, while I wait for my Chinese food

[likerobots]

[IcedEarth]

lol me too!! Sucks because I haven't had much time to research the theme. Maybe try looking it up for inspiration?

[Dazz]

I've seen an old sig entered in one of the past SOTWs so my guess is it's fine as long as you made it.
