Sig Pic Contest: 850k in Prizes!

[Baked-Potato]

So I need a good sig pic and figured the STS community would be a good place to turn to. And what better way than to hold a contest? There will be some rules and a central theme, but I'm not picky and will let your imagination and skills take over (:

THEME

The central theme of the sig has to be...drum roll.... Mr. Potato Head! Now you can draw your own Mr. Potato Head for the sig, or you can google image Mr. Potato Head and find a few good pictures. Here are a few good ones I found:

Picture 1 (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101228031215/pixar/images/7/7e/Toy-story-3-new-stills-new-trailers-woody-buzz-lightyear-mr-potato-head-1.jpg)
Picture 2 (http://www.officialpsds.com/images/thumbs/Mr-Potato-Head-psd35608.png)
Picture 3 (http://www.disneywallpaper.info/wp-content/uploads/0744_toy_s.jpg)

You don't have to use one of the pictures I listed. As long as the finished project has some kind of Mr. Potato Head in it and it follows the rules, it'll be accepted as an entry. For the background, go nuts. Whatever you think works, go for it. You can throw my forum name in it if you want, but it's not nessecary.

RULES
1. All entries must include Mr. Potato Head.
2. All entries must work on STS Forums.
3. No obscene/offensive/vulgar etc. images or captions will be tolerated.
4. No entries should break any of the STS rules or ToS.
5. Only one entry per person. The signature in your entry post will be judged. Any editing of your entry post after the deadline will result in your entry becoming void.
6. Any entry posted by a forum account created after June 5th, 2011 will not be accepted.
7. Entries will be judged by me.
8. Have fun and be creative!

CONTEST DETAILS

The contest will begin June 6th, 2011 at 12:00:00AM PST and will end June 20th, 2011 at 11:59:59PM PST

This means any entry posted after the deadline time will not be accepted and will not be judged.

Once the deadline ends, I will post the winners the next day sometime and will notify the winners via STS forum PM and we will set up a time for the award to be granted. There will be:

(1) First Place Winner - 400k
(1) Second Place Winner - 200k
(1) Thrid Place Winner - 100k
(3) Runner Ups/Honorable Mentions - 50k/ea

I'm not sure whether or not if I will choose the 3 runner ups/honorable mentions or let the community decide. I might make a poll with all the entries and allows the community vote. Who knows (;

If there are any questions or any need of addtional information, feel free to post and ask. I look forward to seeing all the entries! Good luck to everyone!

Revised Rule 5

[Gluttony]

6. Any entry posted by a forum account created before June 5th, 2011 will not be accepted.


You may want to edit that one, if I read it correctly it pretty much makes this contest unavailable to everyone currently on forums.

roasty, I love your entry, but in the rules, it says it has to work on forums as a sig

[Roasty]

Oh ya, I'm gonna crop it now

[Harmicide]

PS: Does it have to be the STS 500pixels-100pixels? other forums normally have 385pixels-145pixels.

Nope. It can be whatever dimensions work for you. As long as it can also work on the STS forums its fine (:

[Harmicide]

that would be 500-100, i hate these :P

[KingFu]

Question: do you want your character name, level, and/or guild in your sig?:) (or a (click here thing like in yours)

It's all up to you d: Whatever you think looks best. Just as long as there's a Mr. Potato head in there somewhere.

[Harmicide]

Fonts? Really...:P

[Ayc2000]

Im not throwing out any false facts....

then prove it and we will all apolagize for accusing you

[Ayc2000]

that you are an epic sig maker

[thugimmortal]

what has happend to this thead its meant be a friendly contest
all this trolling is going to get baked potatos thread locked.
Verax it was not a smart move calling a goa dumb and to start flaming the thread its not a good start on the forum and you will not make any friends this way.
if i was baked potato id disqualify you just for being rude.

[Zeus]

Nice! From scratch? Mines not very good, but it's the first one where I've made it completely from scratch (besides the potato head) so I'm a little proud:) Hehe

Looks awesome though man^^

[Harmicide]

If you'd like this summer i'll give you some renders, and some effect tips! overall for your first one from scratch it's darn good. I've been doing this for a little while.
I was just trying to approach this as trying to make Mr. Potato head like Jekyll and Hyde sorta thing. The effect sort of just happened, i also REALLY need the money. Anyways, so how are things man, i haven't talked to you in forever!

[Baked-Potato]

If anyone is still interested in entering or is still currently working on a sig for the contest, please let me know within the next few days. If not, then I might end the contest early.
