SOTM 2010 - February (Hatsune Miku!) - Entry Thread
!!!Welcome to the SOTM!!! ~Congratulations to Capture for winning the January Contest!~ The theme chosen for February is - Hatsune Miku. What is that? See here for details. About the SOTM: The Signature Of The Month contest is open to all members of the Animesuki Forums. The goal of the contest is to provide a fun and competitive way of showing off and improving the signatures and personal skills of contestants. The winner of each months contest is given the privilege of choosing the theme for the next month. About the SOTM Theme: Each month prospective contestants are given a theme to base their entries on. This theme is decided by the winner of the previous contest. The theme can be anything, as long as it does not break forum rules regarding inappropriate material. At the end of the month, voters choose which entries they liked best out of all submitted entries and a new winner is decided. Themes cannot be used twice in a row. The Rules of the SOTM:
About the SOTM Entry Process: Every month, a new entry thread is created. Each month's entry thread is a central spot meant to give contestants a chance to create and improve their entries as well as their skills, in addition to providing them a place to post their official submissions. The thread is solely about helping contestants with entries, and as such these things will not be tolerated:Anyone disrupting the thread will be asked to take it privately, to the SOTM Generic Discussion Thread, or if the offense is severe enough - reported to the moderators.1. Nonconstructive and negative criticism (if you truly dislike something about an entry, be polite and helpful) This Month's Entry Period:: This months entry period officially starts Monday, February 1st, 2010 and lasts until Friday, February 19th, 2010. Entries will be gathered and put up for voting on Sunday, February 21st, 2010. Voting will end on the following Sunday. The due date ends at 11:59 (midnight basically) UTC/GMT. The polling will be up one day later after 11:59 (again, midnight). I will try to be as lenient as I can with last minute submissions but only slightly. It is up to you as a contestant to know what your time zone is in relation to UTC/GMT. I cannot do this for you. Here is a site that can help you figure that out: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx Good luck to all contestants, and most importantly, have fun!!! |

A belated congratulations to capture! When I first saw your entry, I had a hunch it was a win.
Interesting theme, I've always wanted to try my hands on a Miku sig. Will give this a crack. Can she be wearing a different outfit or does she have to be very, very original including with the school uniform and everything?

Must it be digital work?
Because I've just done 11 collages of Miku and more to come for school work. I could just scan one or something, I've got no photoshop to do any digital manipulation though lol

@preacher: without her pigtails, the way the render is I can't really tell that it's Miku. But then, I'm hardly a Miku expert.
First try. I'm playing around with a bunch of ideas at the moment. I can't seem to decide on any one direction right now. (And the large number of available Miku pics aren't helping. ) So C&C would really be appreciated.

vandariara The border of V4 is interesting but but V2 look better ( but V2 with the border of V4 would look better ... )
Ayu-smepai Chaho-Chi Look pretty much as something I would expect from you I would add a border and think about a text Preacher forget the gift as it look now; besidew the file being too big, it's just not pleasing to the eye My first try: I played a little with a render and endded with 2 ideas. C&C would be welcome. 1 2 ( I am still thinking about a text for the second, and I am not sure than the first one could be recognize as Miku enough for the contest )

@Sage, the blue dots are REALLY distracting to me Espc the ones over her, they dont blend well.
@ganbaru, Im liking the 2nd vers better though both seem a bit plain. Also on the 2nd one her hair near the bottom is really sharp, try blending it a bit more with the bg.
