Random Theme

Well done BigFoot and thanks to the people who voted for my avatars! :thumbsup:


This week we'll focus on the 5th season episode "Call to Arms". The theme is "Quark's Bar, Grill, Gaming House and Holosuite Arcade" and the random theme is "Out of the Frying Pan" Anything to do with cooking, eating or the phrase "Out of the Frying Pan" will be accepted.

... And since this is the 50th contest we'll have an extra cathegory this week: "The best of Contest 1-49" You can either enter your favourite avatar from any category from a past contest or make a new one from any of the episode/theme/random theme contests we've had so far.

The theme must be DS9 related, while the random theme can be from just anything. The avatars have to conform to board rules: Up to 120x120 px, 20 kb for jpg and 60 kb for gif.

You've got until friday evening CET to make the avatars. Have fun and congrats again BigFoot! :)
 
^ One question about "Out of the Frying Pan". Must the avatar have something to do with cooking/eating or can it be anything connected to the phrase "Out of the Frying Pan"?
 
Ok, I made two entries for Call to Arms. I haven't yet decided which one I wanna use. Any opinions?

Sisko lookin' cool:

Oh yeah, I'm not trying to be an ass hole but I'd appreciate it if from now on people wouldn't use avatars that I make.

Out of the Frying Pan

They are eggs and they are close to the frying pan :)

Eggs are screaming to say "EAT US"
 
Dammit... I have a problem. I can't decide which avatars to enter. I have two for "Call to Arms", three for "Quark's" and four for "The best of Contest 1-49". It's really annoying. ;)

I do have only one for "Out of the frying pan" though, so here it is:

EDIT: Ok, I narrowed it down to two for "Quark's", here they are:

Anyway I'm getting tired so I'm gonna sleep on it. ;)

:wtf:

Erm...yeah, gang.

Stealing the work of another individual is not permitted. If you want to use an avatar made by someone else around here, you need to:

a) wait until AFTER the competition and voting is completed and; and
b) get their permission.

This last bit is critical.

Also, when you get their permission, you need to abide by any terms they put on you, whether they be credit-related or time-related terms. Most creators don't set conditions when they give permission...but the bottom line is that the creator is the owner...and if they want credit or whatever, then those are the terms you need to follow if you choose to use the avatar.

I'm not saying all of this for BigFoot's benefit in particular - he just brought it up. I'm saying it as someone who creates avatars myself...and also as the mod of this forum who is asking the posters in here to use some common sense and courtesy when they use art created by another.

Thanks!

...any suggestions on which I should go with?
 
Ok, after thinking about it for quite a bit, I came to the conclusion that I shall have no idea which avatars I should enter. So I'm hoping I can get some input from you guys. Here they are, first for the "Call to Arms" contest:

Here are the two for "Quark's":

Like I said last night, I actually only have one for the "Out of the frying pan" contest:

And here are the two for the "The best of Contest 1-49" contest:

So, can I get a couple of opinions? ;) Thanks!
 
^ I did, I said I like the one with the blue lights ("Time travel" - contest #29).

If you want my opinion on any other avatars just say so.
 
^

Yeah, I know. I was just goin' for a bad joke.

Anyway, I'd go with the torpedo launchin', the dart board, and Sisko's cheers.
 
EMHMark613, I like the one from Future's End.

od0, I think the "Time Travel" avatar is hilarious so you should go with that one.

BigFoot, I like the first "Call to Arms" avatar of the torpedo launchers. I'm slightly leaning towards the second "Quarks" theme of the dart board. And for the best of... category I think you should go with Sisko from "In the Pale Moonlight".

Yesterday was the first day on my new on-sabbatical-leave job. I can't go online at work, which has reduced my posting somewhat. The job was kinda interesting, though, and a lot different than my ordinary job. Anyway, I'll be back with my entries before the deadline on friday. :thumbsup:
 
^ Thanks for the help guys. Based on your suggestions, I'll go with the following avatars:

"Call to Arms":

"Quark's":

"Out of the frying pan":

"The best of Contest 1-49":
