    "Through the darkness light can always emerge, it is only when the unwilling come upon this light that fear takes over. Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    Everyone's entries are looking great! Let me try to catch up with the questions;


    Can I rotate the image?
    - You can rotate it 180 degrees upside down, but other than that no. The dimensions will stay the same if you go for the 180 degree rotation, so it is technically allowed.

    Can I resize the image?
    Unfortunately we can't allow this, as it is in the rules and having images of equal size is part of what keeps this contest fair.


    Anything else that needs clarifying?

    Ok, let's try again, same picture, but different uploading method.

    The Devil's Stockings >:D

    Edit: Yay, it works! :D

    The reason why the edges of the stockings are still whitish is that else you wouldn't be able to see where they begin, and where they end. :P

    Edit2: Oh and yes, it IS completely done with paint, only the PWI logo is downloaded from the internet (yay 4 Google :D) ;)

    Every individual music instrument is like a person.
    Every individual music instrument has a different personality
    Every individual music instrument has a different voice.
    Every individual music instrument has a different face.
    Every individual music instrument has a different dialect.
    Every individual music instrument uses different words.
    And the type of music is the language it speaks.
    There is no 'best' type of music instrument, and if you think there is, then you're racist, because it's just like saying there is a 'best' skin-color or nationality.
    Even though bass guitar rules all.

    Heheh, I like the way my sig usually takes up more space than my post :3

    It has been brought to my attention that people may not be simply using paint.


    Remember, the use of any third party program to trace images before putting them into paint, means that YOU'RE NOT using Paint!


    It's a fairly easy thing to spot, and remember this contest isn't about creating a masterwork, it's about the lulz.

    If an entry is seen to be devoid of "lulz" and it is apparent that the artist has used helper programs instead of Paint because they believe the contest is "srs biznuss", we will not be able to judge them alongside those entries that abide by the contest rules. b:victory

    So I can't use outside images, what about the logo?
    The single exception is the game logo, it can be pasted in since it has been suggested in the contest rules. Keep in mind that the logo is just another extra thing to add in, and should not become the basis of a pattern that covers the entire entry or anything.

    If you know that you used something other than Paint to enhance your entry, then you should know who you are. Our graphic designers are pros and they can't be fooled.

    If for some reason you are still unsure about this send me a PM.
