As the title says, no one seems to post up anything new here? There have been no sotw. Come on guys GFX is fun :]

[Hydrogen]

Graphics is indeed fun, but I think the problem is that whenever someone makes a piece of art on the site, they post it for others to comment on it, people say what they think, and then the work fades away into time. I'm currently working on a solution for that but I still need to hammer out the kinks in it .

[Ranteur]

SOTW restarting would probably give a little motivation to the GFX designers out there to start posting more.

It's dead because I'm lazy.

[Ranteur]

Haha, I guess I'll just keep posting up random siggies.

[ChrisTW]

I actually forgot about this site until today when I got an email notification about it....I would post some stuff but the past month or so I've been really busy and have barely even had time for my job so I haven't made anything though I will start making siggies again now that I have some free time.

A possible reason - I have no artistic abilities when it comes to pictures and such. This is the last thing I have drawn on a computer:



If you're wondering wtf that is, it's part of this random group drawing:

What's the point of churning out shit every other fucking day?

Here's a little tutorial on how to make your average SOTW sig:

1. Take a stock foto
2. zoom in on the tits
3. duplicate layer
4. overlay
5. gaussian blur 1.2px
6. fucking lens flare on the nipples
7. Add some kickawesome 'abstract' brushes from deviantshit
8. Get praise for being a skillful digital-artist!

..is it sad that I won SOTW doing just this one week?

Minus the tits part.

Most pros don't frequent SOTW as I've come to understand.

ChrisFTW has some ideas. I really want GFX section to do well. But I think we've been thinking about wrong all this time. We were thinking how to get GFX Team active.

I think the GFX Team should work on getting the non gfx community involved. IE: SOTW the non gfx people were voters. I think the GFX Team should work to bring gfx to the people rather then us work to come with lame events specficially for GFX Team. Such as photoshop tennis.

I was hoping you'd understand the sarcasm and respond as such =/

That's stupid. It's like a nonprogrammer evaluating a program's source. All most tards know how to do is say that the outcome looks good/bad. Most people that don't do graphics will find it hard to make time to do graphics, so why should we make events for them.

We just need people that don't suck dick. No one wants a graphics team with shitty people. The graphics team died when all SOTW trendwhores left. Elian, Hong, Kareem, Josh. It was only semi kept alive by sarah and Nick. And goddamn I just get tired of looking at Japanese shit and signatures that look like someone slapped a render on some of metalcx's brushes.

[Noitidart]

Hmm that's a good point.
But what made SOTW so successful? We need to develop more things like that. SOTW I think was the most successful GFX activity ever.

But then I see your point. And why would anyone want to get on a team to do work for others? right lol
