Well as per voting in the SOTW #91 Voting thread, this weeks theme will be

Theme: Sprite (not the drink)

This means the signature has to be a Sprite Signature. Not sure what this is? Research it. Type in Sprite tag in DeviantArt or something. Below is an example of what a sprite is.

http://planetrenders.net/renders/albums/userpics/164577/Marluxia_sprites.png

They are to be used INSTEAD of your typical renders. I will not give anymore instruction on this, you will have to do the research yourself. Any signatures not considered sprites will not be entered into the voting thread so make sure it is!!



Remember the new rules when submitting your entry.

From this point onwards I am going to have to be ruthless with entries. Up until now I have been lenient with people not submitting an entry fee first time or their sigs in the wrong format.**You must use the correct coding format when submitting your entry
**You must use the correct title for the PM- 'SOTW #92 Entry'
**I will not reply to you saying you have done something wrong, so you must Preview Message before sending it.
Correct Coding: (Just copy paste this into your pm and obviously replace 'URL HERE' and remove the '*')

Code:
URL HERE



Goodluck to all, and we are looking for sponsors too whose name will be placed on the winners stamp forever!! (see my signature for example)

Huge thanks to:
jeffsigs for his 1500sbp sponsorship!!
hubdehub for the 2000sbp sponsorship!!
Etha for her 700sbp sponsorship!!
Guy for the 550sbp sponsorship!!

I still can't find one thing. I should use more "sprites" in a sig or just one ? Everywhere I search I find the drink.

Edited: Ok I found it one single sprite in a sig.

Just use one. Its the exact same principles as using a render. Go to www.planetrenders.net and in the Renders Gallery section there is a whole specific section called Gaming Sprites.

One thing i want to know is the rule for the Sig was for 400x200 size can it smaller (like 390x135) or does it h to be 400x200 exact the same size.....
Other is where do i h to post my Sig for SOTW 92

No 400x200 is the MAX size.. it can be any size under that. And you should read the rules about submitting your sig to SOTW.

i have a question, a sprite to me is a sig that is animated, is that what we are allowed to do here??? If so i want to get in on it, but wanna be clear if it's animated or just the lil img

It is a little image from a old video game.....

I have a qwuestion though. Can we tweak them using CnC?

Entity- go to that site jeff supplied. It has a huge range of sprites. They are not animated, they are individual frames taken from an animation or game. Search 'sprite tag' on DeviantArt and you will see what it means. It is not animated.

-Zeo- You are not allowed to post the sig for CnC. This SOTW is done so anonymously, so posting the sig up for CnC well let everyone know which sig is yours. If you do that, you will be automatically DQ'd.

but.... you can animated a sig with each sprite ;) I thought about doing that but it would take a while and be pretty tedious besides adding any fx to it.

with the NO animation, I think he miss understood you. If you use 30 sprites to animate a sig then it should be fine, because you are still using sprites.

Yes that is what I meant jeff, animation is allowed, I was just saying a sprite is a still image. If you place a string of these still images into an animation thats fine. But make sure something else is in the sig, don't just put 10 sprites together and make it animated- it still has to be a signature.
