Title: ATAC Results


Hugh Laurie - March 1, 2005 08:18 AM (GMT)
It's been a great Awards. NOT. :P *snicker*
Anyway, thanks to those who made it possible: Ben and Shaydah for helping with the hosting for the Revolution entries. PEOPLE who responded to my PMs. Votes=Gold. Thank you thank you. The participants, thank you for participating!xD You dealt with all of my shiznit and didn't complain... too much! And of course to myself for not being to pissed-off about everything. xDDD

Sad to say I won't do diddly-squat about making this more than it is. No more scripts on an awards-like ceremony. :P Here are the winners (with the votes)!

Elza's Choice (Just something for people who participated. Don't we all love the comments and criticism? Basically, these are my choices. I obviously voted for them and found them to be the best from the rest. I dunno if that really means anything since I'm not an authority in Graphics or anything. I'm merely an enthusiast with a lot of free time. Though mostly because I slack off. -_-)

So, without further ado! My choices!

Free As A Bird - Static

Also the winner but that's not really the reason why I chose this. I just found it really unique. Very techie and simple. (Simplicity is always better.) That's why it stood out to me. The only problem is Static forget to remove the white bg and didn't work with a transparent one. Nonetheless, it's over-all pretty good. :P I'm such a sucker for good backgrounds because I could never make a decent one so I have to admire what he did with his. Very nice indeed! Good job on that!

I Me Mine - Jadestone

This was a pretty tough pick for me. Everyone used Cloud which made it even harder since I had to pick which one was best used and which feeling was better expressed. Again, Static did pretty good with his but not good enough to get my vote, sadly. :P I believe Jadestone's (second) work did what I'm looking for the most. The words absolutely perfect the idea about Cloud and Tifa. They just fit. I know it's quite literal but meh, the effects were done really well. :D I can't say anything bad about the sig except probably the lack of color. Using some gradients would have probably made this stand out more. But again, good job!

Revolution - NEO_SEPHIROTH

I bet you didn't see this one coming!?:P Not that I was being sarcastic. *shifty-eyed* Quality-wise it's a bit off (you could have made the images crispier. And Tifa should have been CG like the others.) but since I was looking at the animation, I have to give it a hand to NEO for making this. It's not really a typical sig either which is cool since I love all things unusual and unique. This sig was a lot of that. Though to be honest, I don't like the color AT ALL. :P It's too bright. xP Haha, but not to worry the animation made up for that. :) Good job, yo.


It would have been predictable if I chose otherwise (for Revolution) and besides, I think it's time to give the underdogs a chance to shine, eh? *nod*

Special Mention:

In closing. Thank you all for taking part in this. Until next time... if there ever will be a next time. Lazy-arses!

Btw, yeah, sorry for the triple posting. :P Like it's a big deal. >_>

Ta ta peasants!xD

Ya know...2 3rds and a 2nd isnt too bad...especailly considering the competition...just a few notes on your description in the elza's choice...

Actually, only garnet is CG...I could find a decent drawing of her so I had to use the CG pic...however, looking at it now...I could have probably done it alot better...I may just redo it and add in my new ideas...but yeah...I was more hoping it would get picked due to it having the majority of the sig animated rather than just a portion...but oh well...

Jadestone - March 1, 2005 03:10 PM (GMT)
This was definitly a good experience. Next time i will definitly put more effor into it. I got so busy with my server i couldn`t get more done..... :( I hope we do another again. You did a good job at this too Elza, Grats to u getting this going :D

Looking back at my GFX i realize u r right about the more color.... i`ll keep that in mind next time ;)

Congrats to everyone ^^ There was a lot of tough choices to make in this contest when it came to voting. I liked sooo many of them!

Psyva - March 2, 2005 03:49 AM (GMT)
Just a random comment but I love your Revolution banner Static XD. Love the color scheme... border... size... character... simplicity yet techy... But yes... I wish I could have done ones for the other two categories T_T. My main computer died and my laptop (which I'm on) doesn't have Photoshop ;_;. Great job everyone =D

Hugh Laurie - March 2, 2005 05:38 AM (GMT)
Aw crap, look at all the mistakes I've made. :P

Haha, thanks for flaunting the banner NEO. At least one person made use of it. But meh, I just love doing unnecessary things anyway, don't I? Btw, I just realized you're right. Garnet is the only CG!?xP I guess I was just distracted by the Tifa which was really different from the others. :lol:

Btw, do you people want to do this again? NOT in the near future, though. :P

Kiefer Sutherland - March 2, 2005 09:43 AM (GMT)
Yeah...that would be cool...obviously not as frequent as the awards...but yeah another one later would be good...I can work on getting better then too...

BTW...np about the banner...it looks good and hell, its an award...XD

Psyva - March 2, 2005 09:20 PM (GMT)
I'd use the banner but my name was spelled wrong =O. I didn't wanna bug you with fixing it lol. I think it would be cool to do this again. Course I currently don't have a computer with Photoshop... *cries from lack of Photoshop*

Hugh Laurie - March 3, 2005 04:38 AM (GMT)
Psyva: I knoooow! xD I can't be arsed to fix it either since I erased the psd file. xDDD Though I'm sure I was doing it right.... on the other banners. :P

StaTiC - March 6, 2005 10:52 PM (GMT)
Nice, I got two first places and one second place. Good deal.

Congrats to all of the other winners, and sorry Elza for the mishap with the white BG on that one. Must have brain farted.


Again congrats to the other winners.
