Yea, I agree with yuna on this one. And besides, what stocks could a person use for Thanksgiving?

Turkeys? Corn?

It just seems a hard theme to go for.

Yes that is also what Im worried about as well. I remembered some year ago I had to make a thanksgiving banner but I had a hard time finding images such as a turkey, pilgrims ect. that were appropriate.

Last week SOTW was delayed and changed because NO ONE entered. Therefore I decided to change the theme, and delay it for one more week.

You could have at least announced it. We, humans, cannot read people's minds you know.

Mhmm...

Also remember sh*tty themes = no entries which i guess would equal delay of a week.. :/

Well the delayed week's theme was halloween but it was too late.

The halloween theme was proposed on Oct. 30th, ONE day before halloween. Sure, people are all hyped up because of it; however, after it no one really cares anymore, and the "halloween mood" goes away. (Hence, less than 48 hours to make a halloween-themed sig, before the "halloween mood" goes away.) I think that's the reason for not having any entries. I'm pretty sure that if the theme was proposed a week earlier, there would've been entries. No offense, but don't you think that the person in charge should've thought about it ahead of time? I think that this hypothesis also applies to the American Thanksgiving Day, that's if there's going to be a theme based on it.

Well played Kira,maybe you should apply for a competition mod position so you and kitz can come up with themes together. ^_^

Hahaha... I used to be a mod around here, but I got fired :D. Besides, I'm the kinda guy that dislikes to work with others, I have always been on my own.

What I said earlier, doesn't only apply to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was just an example.

It would apply to more "theme-able" holidays, such as christmas or easter.

Well Christmas is an easier theme and Easter would be better than Thanksgiving and yeah you get the point.

Let me break it down:

I would of think of halloween earlier, but I didn't. Even so, 48 hours is enough to make a sig isn't it? Yup

Thanksgiving theme will not work, no one would enter. Even if anyone enters, it owuld probally be the one who proposed it.

You think after so many SOTW we've had, u think there would be many good themes left? Maybe there is, but I haven't thought of them that is why this thread is here. Do your part and Suggest otherwise i'll give a theme that u might not like, simple as that.

As for sh*tty themes, there is no such thing as sh*tty themes. Themes that doesn't apply to you doesn't mean that it doesn't apply to others. People have different opinions.

Christmas would be a nice theme because last year, people did actually enter the christmas theme.

How about this? For everyweek that no one suggest, im just gonna give out a freestyle SOTW? everyone seems to like that theme the best.

It is my duty to come up with themes, yes. But it's hard to think of themes that applies to everyone. You try be the one who has to think of themes. Because if you had good themes, you would already suggest it here or if you haven't suggest but know some good themes, that just means that you don't care....

Now suggest away for next week's theme.

Consider this:
- 16 hours to sleep.
- 6+ hours of school.
- Few hours of Homework.
- Party-ing.
- It's halloween, most of the forum's members are still young and still go trick-or-treat -ing.

Even if it is enough time you got to take into account people also have lifes outside the boards and that close to halloween they are probably buying candy and getting costumes together so they probably won't be online the day before halloween and on the day of halloween they are going to partys and trick or treating and then they are wasted from candy or beer to make something lol,but I do understand it isn't really your fault that you don't think of things like that sometimes.


EDIT:I have got an Idea for the next SOTW,how bout a preset size,overall color,and stock(preferably from a popular anime,i.e. Naruto).

I use brushes. Granted it's just the round soft brush, lol.

To give a couple topics:

All filters
Black and white colors
Minimalism
Stock Manipulation

I think at least some people would join for the no brushing theme. I would and it's not that hard to make a sig without brushes.

So no brush, pen tool, or add ons right?
Im not not meaning to be picky or anything but Kaze entry looks like it has more then just filters used, if he didn't then I apoligize but the patterns ect looks like pen tool/custom shape effects or he could have pasted them on if thats allowed; just my speculations though =/

Yeah, Kaze's looks like he added m ore than just filters.
When it said filters only, it means no any other things can be used besides filters, such as patterns, e.t.c.

Patterns shouldn't be against the rules for this SOTW imo :/
I think you should change it to No Brushing instead of filters only.
