Are we allowed to give it a title?

Are we allowed to give it a title?

If you want to give it a title, I would suggest that you include it within your pic, otherwise it will not be possible.

[KuricX]

Dude I finished my thing but I cant make it go back to the original size for some reason i can make it goo to it almost close but not exact will it still be accepted?

[Gr8KarmaSF]

You still have plenty of time to redo it if you want to...

Avatar Size is 150 x 100 pixels. If you don't know how big it is

Please use this ----> Avatar Template (right click -> save target as)

Any size bigger or smaller will not be accepted!!!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Dont know sorry, Im a MAC user, perhaps somebody else can help you here?

[KuricX]

enlarge it

O well i gotta restart :(:cry::cry::(
BUT ITS FOR THE FISH FOOD !!!! lol

[dominicolas]

Hey, I sent mine, can I get confirmation? It might be like 149 by 100 or something like that, is that going to be a problem?

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Ya the size is a problem for me I can keep it at that size but everything is all pixely and big when i draw and its really annyoing the only way i can do normal drawing is if its 1000x1000 up anyone else having the same problems??????

[Gr8KarmaSF]

but u cant shrink it back

Heres my suggestion from what I understand of PC. Instead of enlarging it, simply ZOOM IN instead. Hope this helps, if not anybody else know the answer?

I drew it big and then shrunk it. There is a little thing on the bottom right in paint that tells how many pixels. I would forget about the template that was provided and do it yourself.

[Militis]

Ok one thing in rules confused me do you have to have wording and xmas thing or wording and or xmas thing.

like do you ahve to put both or just one.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Well then can you tell me if mine is good.

Ok one thing in rules confused me do you have to have wording and xmas thing or wording and or xmas thing.

like do you ahve to put both or just one.

Xmas theme is a MUST. Wording is an additional option...

[cnoel08]

so i finished mine LATE last night and sent it in and just realized that i put xmass instead of xmas....:duh:
can i take out that extra "s" or is it too late?

Of course you can resend it in....lol

[midasman714]

Sent mine in , could you please let me know if it passed thanx.

i would like to know if mine did as well...

or is there a confirmation email or something?

[Gr8KarmaSF]

No confirmation email BUT I will try to update the confirmations as I process the entries...

[Druu]

Yay! Xmas theme here as opposed to optional at AC- good thing I kept mine in. I'll send in mine tomorrow Gr8.

Advice to people that are having trouble with size. Save the template to your desktop (or other location of choice). Right click and open with microsoft paint. Go to view then zoom. Default is "normal" size which is tiny- you can go to "large" size which is 400% zoom. You can also use "custom" zoom to pick 200%, 600% or 800%. I personally used "large" at 400% because that was a sufficient size to keep all of the graphic on the screen at once without being too small to edit pixel by pixel.

[dominicolas]

You quoted my last comment, but I didn't get an answer. IS MINE OK??? Please, just a yes or no.

[Red Devil]

sent mine... :)

[blurock]

Alright, so does it have to be completely freehanded or can we use simple shapes as a base? I've read and re-read the rules, and looked at examples and im still kinda confused

[Gr8KarmaSF]

COMPLETELY FREEHAND please! :D

[KuricX]

Can anyone post a random free drawn picture on the 150x100 pixel just ant to see how it look likes cause when i draw on it its all bid and pixelly
and is the spray paint can allowed

[dominicolas]

Hello! - :D

Ok, so I'm not being ignored. So is my entry acceptable?

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Like I said before, WHEN I process the entries I will let you know. Its not like I can do it in 2 minutes. It takes awhile to go through it all, set it up, etc....

Right now can I please have some of my own personal MFK time? Please? pretty please? Pretty please with a feeder on top?

Oh, ok I missed that. I thought I was just being messed with. Take your time. My apologies.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

my bad jer. :D didnt see that

No worries, people just get impatient sometimes without realizing its not so simple to just go and check it....

Have I ever let you guys down before?

[dominicolas]

wow everyones full losing it in this thread lol..
take your time Jer..
Post up confirmations when you can lol :D

After being at this site for a while you start to forget that Jer is not God and although he can do just about anything, he can't do everything.

[Onion01]

[Druu]

When voting, will these be displayed real size or after magnified a bit? I might have wasted times doing individual pixels if it's real size...

[Gr8KarmaSF]

They will be displayed about the size of your currently allowed avatar.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

btw, how many have you gotten in?

1,235,947,815,847 - :D

[woofy]

i think they will have a fit if u use urs as ur avatar. if u did people could then see the competition and spruce theres up to make it better, that and it wouldnt be anonymous ;) at least thats what i would have done :D

[Onion01]

[Druu]

Googling "bump" with filters off leads to some material that I would probably get infractions for if posted. (Look at the 4th result.)

Here is one that I had to dig for:

Nobody asked you to apologizes since you did nothing wrong? :screwy:

Just because a thread is cleaned up doesnt mean you did something wrong. Our previous conversation between Don, you and I was actually very entertaining and I enjoyed it. Thread was just cleaned up for others consideration....

Anyway, how many enties do you have total now?

I'm not looking forward to another cleveland loss.
If it's not "this is our year" then
"Theres always next year!". Those two quotes can pretty much describe our entire franchise history. Haha I don't know why anyone on our team needs even needs hands anymore, as they still for the majority can't catch, and they certainly aren't there for the superbowl rings, maybe they are there for a place to hide our face after another embarassing 4th quarter loss.
But in all seriousness I love the browns and will just blame it on the curse.
