that's not art, that's a filter

Your just not in touch with your artsy side.

I thought it was one of those Images you have to stare at for it to focus. (forgot the name)

Damn, that was a close one. I'd still say the first is better though. =(

[BRP]

lol, this topic is funny and true. I really can't stand people calling filters art. Some of the kids back in my freshmen class were horrible.

However, a few well placed filters in a nice angled FFXI picture could be good enough for something like this. The blur of color doesn't count.

Stereogram.

Some of them are neat. I liked page 2 the best though.

[Neil]

I chose that as a winner because what you have to remember is the fact that these are going to be used as backgrounds, not display images. Therefore, abstract is/was welcomed because you're not going to so a lot of the background anyway. These particular submissions won because they took that into account, regardless of how they were made.

And as for any copyright issues, anyone who is the original creator of any artwork seen in the Signatures are free to email Vana'Guide and request that they be taken down. You can find the feedback form http://www.vanaguide.com/?action=submit&area=news

The signatures will be added to the application at the end of the week and you'll also be seeing some welcome changes to the application itself. Thanks to everyone who submitted.

LOL good shit.



after seeing the pics that "won"

I'm sure I could have done a better job then the ones that have been selected.

[Elcura]

Oh god filter art heaven. That or you just crop a random screenshot (THEN FILTER THE FUCK OUTTA IT!!)

[Hirronimus]

Watch one of the backdrops show up in my future sig and I ain't giving credit to the author. :D

[Confuse]

<3 this one :D

[Ichthyos]

To the Vana'Guide people's credit, Selece (Transworld Project artist) posted the following after someone told her that people were posting the "real life" FF pics elsewhere without necessarily giving credit:

It's all right... I can't take credit for the models or the backgrounds. As long as ppl are seeing them I'm happy. It's just my little tribute to the world of Vana'diel~ ^^

[Hirronimus]

She sounds hawt!
