Discouraged Ideas:
x-Artistic (Everyone's view of art is different)
x-Inspiration (Wow that's a wide range)
x-Meaning of life (It differentiates)
x-Vectors (Not everyone can make vectors, because some PS versions don't have the Pen Tool and not everyone can afford a better program like PS7, CS, CS2 or Illy... OR get it illegally. Vectors also aren't like renders. There's not enough of them- especially "un"copyrighted ones.)


Now, I'm going to list some RULES-

1) Do NOT post something already listed above. It keeps this thread clean.
2) This is not a thread for discussion. Do not "chat".
3) Do not post more than once per page.
4) Remember, the max dimensions are 350x350
5) All ideas are welcome. Don't be afraid to give an idea.
6) Even though this is not a discussion thread, if you happen to disagree with something posted in the lists above, please explain.

Raito: Thread cleaning numero cuatro (number 4) complete.

Remember- if I didn't add it to the list, I just have no idea how it can work properly or be widely spread. Please explain if you differ.

Also, don't just give credit to BB in the SotW. I know he does a lot, but there ARE other people working just as hard to help him and the SotW exceed.

Banishing Blade: Namely Prod and Raito. They deserve credit too.

READ THE LIST BEFORE GIVING IDEAS. JUST POSTING RANDOM CRAP ONLY AGITATES EVERYONE AND WASTES ROOM IN THE THREAD.

hmm...i was thinking about classical...you know...like Kingdoms and medieval kings... or the '90s...maybe '80s...past, y'know.as i can see at the list, we never do the "past times" themes before...and Boondock, "tribute" has been listed.

[The M.C.]

i dont know if anyone said this but they can do something scary, or haunted stuff.

[Color Me Evil]

We could pick a person we know on the forums and do one based on them. I mean, the entrants will pick a person.

[Color Me Evil]

They already used sprite tags. ):

LEGOS.

I looked at my Legoland disk and was liek, "LEGOS."

[MegaFlare]

How does everyone feel about having another self pic SotW very soon?

Or an Autumn theme?

[Shadukai X]

I'm not into graphics but I have a few SoTW suggestions
-Cosmic sigs
-Medieval
-REligious

Try them out

[RTP49]

Cars.

Everyone loves automobiles.

[king kong]

dreams, robots, anime, stockless, c4d only, vector only, monotone only, 2 toned only,
xmen, justice league, nature, elements (earth,wind,fire etc.) nintendo, ps2, ps3, new ps3 games, wii, new wii games

It would be sweet if we meshed entry and discussion threads together, and the home-post would have every entry submitted, and if someone were to change their entry, it would be up to them to repost it in the discussion thread to make it known, and if it oddly wasn't, they could PM the SotW host to have them switch it.

It would be easier to do that, so you wouldn't have to open, pin, unpin, and lock the two topics, it would also still be pretty organized if it was followed with the previous paragraph above.
--------------------------------------

As for themes, ExMachina at ACForums seems to have narrow themes, like a specific television show as of recent.

Like, instead of "Favorite TV Shows" it it would be like "Sex and the City" in that instance. That doesn't bad at all.
-------------------------------------

So with those written, I whipped up a wishlist for themes:

• Akuma (Street Fighter series)
• Bahamut (Final Fantasy series)
• Basch (Final Fantasy XII)
• Cammy (Street Fighter series)
• Chun-Li (Street Fighter series)
• Fran (Final Fantasy XII)
• I-No (Guilty Gear series)
• Moogle (Final Fantasy series)
• Slayer (Guilty Gear series)
• Sol (Guilty Gear series)

For this week, we could do something celebrating the new year. Parties, people, drinking.. xD

[GTX]

I'd personally like to see a SOTW dealing with usernames.

As in make a sig that would best go with your username perhaps?

Just an idea thrown out there.

[Electropop]

7 Deadly Sins.

>.>

Gave the idea to Mega flare..hasnt used it xD

[Color Me Evil]

KoF theme. It'd be mega win.
