CoS Graphics Contest v9

Melora_Valmont I love your sig this week!
Me too!

I don' know why, but it shows the 150x150 pixel version of this pic that I uploaded earlier accidentally... That happens to me sometimes too! I usually end up having to give the resized (or altered) one a completely different name, or deleting the old one from photobucket to get the correct one to upload. :grumble:

good job, this week, melora_valmont, I just realized how many times I voted for you :lol: And if you remember where you got the font for your text entry, I'd love to download it, thanks!

My Emtional entry didn't make it into the table. I posted it a bit late, but I thought it was on time...

Sorry, will add it now. :)

Thanks Tenshi!!

Really good effort this week. Not as many entries as per the norm, but I suppose folks are enjoying the summer weather and such.

THEME AVATAR -- CathyWeasly -- I like what you did with a less than great quality graphic. I have no problem with graininess in a graphic as I think it depends on the result and how it affects the over all graphic. Not everything can be TV quality, I guess. :D

THEME SIGNATURE -- LunanNeville -- I like the really bright colors

THEME BANNER -- EverLore -- I like your use of the text

THEME HANGING -- Melora_Valmont -- I like the strength of the colors and the text is easiest to read

BASE -- 8m56w6 -- very funny

TEXT -- Rell -- Very nicely done.

EMOTIONAL -- Melora Valmont -- I like this very well. It has a very warm feel. Though as 2d, Tenshi, I liked the coloring in yours.

Sanguini huh? A stab at purebloodedness?

Sheesh! Oh, well. I was prepared to participate this week as I'll have additional time off.

Everyone enjoy the holiday that observes it.

No work for a few weeks!!!

HOORRAY!!! :clap:

Congrats to everybody, there were really great entries this week (just as usual ;)). Although I'm gonna miss this thing, everybody enjoy the holiday and have fun! (The Hungarian premiere of the Order of the Phoenix is here in 9 days, so I'm really excited. And I envy the British fans a bit... :P)

So, when is the graphics contest starting again?

So, when is the graphics contest starting again?

I was thinking the same.

I was thinking the same.
:agree: and me...biara was online last on July 12 so she probably doesn't know we're back up. :whistle:

Maybe someone should email her... :whistle:

Maybe someone should email her...
I don't think anyone should worry about it. I'm sure biara will be on whenever she has a chance. And meanwhile there are other people who help run this contest who know that we're back, and I'm sure they will restart it as soon as they are ready.

We have to sort something out. Contest will start again when it's done. But not before Saturday in general, to keep the old schedule.

Hem Hem Announcement

1. Contest starts tomorrow again with a brand new challenge. Huzzah!

2. Spoiler Policy is still valid. So NO DH STUFF HERE YET.

3. Due to personal issues are we forced to link directly from your hosting accounts and won't upload them to our photobucket one anymore.

You'll have to verify it with your signature here, here and here. *waves with contract and points*

Ha, little joke. Of course will we take our freedom and do it anyway.

Well, at least we can use OotP pics! :D

Well dumbledore's made of uberness and this week is made of awesome so it wouldn't really work :shrug:

Great to see everyone again...I'm thinking I might enter this week if I have the chance...and once I've finished my LIMS entry...Its going to be a busy week =P And yay for Lunaness =D

Neville is made of awesome too - we should have a week about him. :)

Hmm I think of how and if we can continue a character themed weeks.

What? You didn't use my suggestion of a Dumgledore themed week
Puuuhlease we will have Dumbledore, when I'm ill.

I'm sure that I am the only person to whom this applies, but I think that this week's contest (needing to find pictures of specific scenes) is definitely biased against those who did not see OotP.

So, would some kind soul please post an example picture of Luna in the carriage and of luna in DA, so that I will at least know what I am looking for as I muddle my way through screencaps?

Thank you ever so muchly :)

I don't really like the character themed week so much. Doing all graphics of the same character is a little boring.

Yeah I see.

EL posted sources above.

Gosh it's so good to be back! I've been doing 100 X 100's and it's wonderful to have some other sizes to work on.

kinda dark :shrug: but should give you an idea :) of the carriage ones, there were several scenes in the DA so I'll be in the same place as you with trolling around to try and find them. THey all have that blue tinge of the base pic though.

kala, I love you, thank you so much!!

And by the way, I didn't mean to sound critical in my earlier post. I realize that 99.9% of people on these forums have seen OotP, and it should be expected that people have. I was going through a moment of frustration at the time, and when I looked back at the post, it seemed a little harsh. :)

I've only seen CoS one time so I always spend way too much time tabbing through screencaps to find scenes I think were in that movie :) so I know how you feel.

I am helping out with the writing contest (http://cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=110278) for a little bit, and I am looking for two people to make prize banners for winners. (one person to do 2nd place and one person to do 3rd.) The banners don't have to be anything fancy - they are just something nice for people who place in this contest. If you have any extra time early next week and would like to make a banner, please owl me as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

If you want to use certain snake's on certain book covers under the assumption it could be helpful for your work this is at least no problem for CoS's Spoiler Policy. Using the cover art - but as Tenshi said not the chapter art! - is fine as long as your work does not hint major plot infos.

Congrats to those who won! :) I'll try to get some entries in this week, I don't know if I'll have time though...school starts up again in a week (:upset:) and I still have some homework left to finish...yes, summer homework...

On a random note, how come this and the Fan Art Contest aren't stickies anymore?

They were unstickied, because there were too many sticky thread. To keep it nicer and cleaner all Contests got unstickied.

I'm in for at least a few:

Great entries so far.

TTFN

Can anyone find any good pictures of the prophecies?

By any chance will the spoiler policy be over in time for us to submit a spoiler entry?

Thanks for the votes! :D This weeks kinda crazy so I don't know if I'll be able to get anything in. But I'll still vote!

Yay, I was wondering that as well. I didn't mean "that" Patronus anyway just any patronus :p (& sorry for such a repetitive topic, I couldn't think of anything and didn't think I'd win :lol:) but I've noticed a lot of people have DH stuff in their sigs (chapter art and the whole deal) so...:err:??

By any chance will the spoiler policy be over in time for us to submit a spoiler entry?
I fear not. So for this week still no spoilers.

Malora, your images aren't displaying.

TTFN

I see them fine :)

OK, for all:
The reason why some of you can't see images on the tables is the fact that people included "banner" in the filename. Some "whatever-checker" block images which include this word and won't let them display. You can avoid that by not including "banner" in the filename or write "bnr" or something like that instead.

Interesting. I've always included the word banner in my file name for previous entries. Didn't have that problem. Is it something new?

No, that's something that happens only for a few people and we changed the file names when we uploaded them to PB quite often. But not the last time, that's why it didn't work for some.

Thanks. Is that why I'm seeing the word multiply and the msn logo on Melora Valmont's icons today? Sheesh. I thought this kind of weirdness only happened on my work computer. Well, I checked both computers at home and I'm seeing it, so it must be a watermark or something.

Just a quickie. For the last challenge my choice for next week wasn't used. I mean for the signature icon I had suggested something different. The choice for the occlumency lessions was for the avatar entry. I suppose it doesn't matter what or if we indicate a next week choice then?

Multiply is a community site where I uploaded my pics this time, but it seems it doesn't work... but I don't really know how the msn logo came. Hm... weird... :scared: I can't see it... So, after all this, I uploaded my pics to photobucket as I usually do it... can everybody see them now? Sorry for the mess.

They look fine now.

I don't remember when the contest is over...Do I have a little more time to submit an entry? And I assume it can include spoilers now...

edit I have added a banner entry :)

Closed. Going to make the tables now. Voting starts as soon they are posted.

It matters. Seems I looked at the wrong line. C'est la vie :sigh:

Oh, ok. I just asked as I don't mind adding my suggestions for next week at the end. Whichever works is fine.

I can't wait until I have a crazy amount of homework again...:sigh: School starts on Tuesday, so I probably won't be on here as much...plus I've got honors precalc, APUSH, and honors chemistry this year...I bet we won't have any homework at all...:rolleyes:
