Preserved Topic: +--- June Sig Contest ---+ (Page 1 of 3)

After careful consideration, I have come up with a theme for this month's sig contest. I had a few that I was tossing around (like World Cup sigs ), but seeing as this is the Asylum (and seeing as how I have spent the past few months in a state of near insanity while working on my thesis), I have decided upon the following:

Torture/Therapy

I know there's a fine line between the two sometimes (eg., shock "therapy"), which is why I just decided to lump them together. Any instruments or forms of torture/therapy that you want. Medieval is good, modern is good, future is good. You can even go Biblical if you want. The more pain, the better.

Well, that should cover it. Let the games begin!

Fucked up

Why yes, yes it is. And I can't wait to see what you guys crank out.

First entry... kinda quick...



FYI: A cat paw was used in mideval torture. A person was tied up to a post and then they would take this Clawed instrument that had 4-5 sharp tines on it, mounted to a block of wood. They would use it to too peel off the flesh of their prisoners who are in for interrogation.

I like VP's (although I am anti-drug), but I very good, low cost suggestion for him: How about you read people some of your Vogon Poetry.

PS: I love that book

*pokes head in cell* what the heck are you talking about CFB? lol errr I is confused

How about this: it needs some work though (I think)



It's a bloody razor blade (does it need to be lightened, does the blade need to be more shiny, less blood? does a razor blade cound?)

Woohooo! I just figured out that grungy brushes work well for blood!

[edit=fixed the sig, added text]
[edit=typed some stuff]
[edit=Tripod canceled my account, had to make a new one and re-upload every goddamn thing]
[edit=Made text bigger and deleted some shit]

< thinking to self >hmmm.... a life sucking machine... hmmmm.... I like... < /thinking >

I am still confused, but it is late here! *goes off to finish up mopping the east wing*

hmmmm... VP, i *think* they thunk that you should use some Vogon Poetry for you sig... because it is tourturous to read!

Izzay

hmmm...did I say VP, I meant synax...hmmm...

Hmmm... just a friendly reminder. The theme is torture/therapy, not death.

Anyone familiar with the work of the great Count Rugen will know that death means the end of pain, which is somewhat counterproductive if the goal is to produce as much pain as possible. So we would like our subjects to remain alive, if at all possible.

Carry on.

Suho: the basis of my sig is that the sort of torture was used in interrogation as well as getting a confession, (confessing your sins.) The person was getting their flesh ripped off and therefoer the person would not die for days, or weeks even.



'Me no here. Me go bye. Leave me message. Me reply.'

Wolfen's Sig Site

counterfeitbacon: Nice sig but you do need less blood on it. Due to the shape of a razor blade (its blunt flat end) it is more able to do shallow cuts on the skin only bloodying the edge (with some splashes) or a deeper cut in which only the trailing corner would become seriously bloody. I suspect (as this is all theory, of course) that it would be difficult to bloddy a razor quick like that (unless you were licking the blood up the balde I suppose).

I'd also move the text so only the bacon hung off the end of the razor.

Suho1004: Great theme - if only I were a decent artist (Emperor's mission for June: become profficient enough with PS to enter sig competition). We'll see.

Actually, Wolfen, I thought your sig was fine. It was actually Grumble's "recycled" sig I was referring to.

Emps: I would love to see a sig from you this time! I never let my lack of artistic ability stop me, why should you?

So, torture and therapy? Clearly, this came to mind...



This is my first sig, by the way. I welcome your comments.

Ok suho, in the intelligent sense, toture can be visual, and visual therapy is known as eyecandy, I have mixed both up and come up with this physically impossible cube...

Somehow I feel the torture in some of this month's entries will come from the tortured reasoning behind the sigs justifications

Or my English!!

Torture is pretty straight forward, I don't understand why people are having such a hard time following it. So far the only sigs that follow this month's theme are bacon's and wolfen's...

Thanks for the support synax...

What happened to your sig synax...It was good?

Oh ya...I fixed my sig...wadda you think of it:

I think Suho1004 was pretty clear about the theme:

Torture/Therapy

I know there's a fine line between the two sometimes (eg., shock "therapy"), which is why I just decided to lump them together. Any instruments or forms of torture/therapy that you want. Medieval is good, modern is good, future is good. You can even go Biblical if you want. The more pain, the better.

counterfeitbacon: I like that version - I'm not sure about the patch of blood and I think it would look justas effective (if not more so) if you just had the bloodied razor (the best type of horror is psychological horror so leave a little to the imagination).

Emps: It just looked kind of plain without it, I mean boxy, I dunno? I'll try it. On the note of psychological horror, this would be a *cough*good*cough* emblem/logo for a genital peircing parlor ouch

CFB: they were talking about my sig, ill wait to here from suho if I should make another, I am all for the pain....

by the way cfb thats a nice lookin sig, but I think I liked the old one better...

InSiDeR: I'm not saying how you should make your sigs (its quite a good one - although that eye looks familiar...) and you can make as many as you like. Anyway its Suho1004's show so I'll stop poking my nose in

Just a quickie.

now that's what I'm talking about!

Thats a good one Raptor...I don't have the patience to do animated sigs...


[This message has been edited by counterfeitbacon (edited 06-06-2002).]

Thanks Unfortunately the size is about 3 times what I'd like it to be, lol. Colors are at 16.. I'm going to try to cut out some frames without the animation getting too rough. And the color of the wheels makes my eyes twitch..

Why don't you cut out the stall inbetween the pull and the pull (whatever you call it)?

Because it's just one frame. I tried reducing the amount of delay on it but it didn't make a difference.

Emps, are you saying I didn't make that eye? Cause I sure as hell did, you want the psd?

if you start watching that at the wrong time, you could think the text is pressed together.

pssst, insider: just because you made it, doesn't mean that there wasn't a similar (better) one to it going around earlier.
...and guess what? i can give you the psd to that one as well!

besides, i like the idea, but the cube is the more important element. they aren't... uh... integrated very well. cool idea tho.
