Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

Looks like I'm heading towards 2nd place everywhere... Well, I'm certainly happy of my 5 nominations, can't say this about the poll. ^^
That was certainly an interesting contest, I hope there will be another one so I can take my revenge.

Oh yeah, hype for 3rd place tokens.

Still, you put up a HELL of a fight. You were strong competition.

rip noname's Earth Blew Up v2 token :C

Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

Well, Spitfire said that HE wanted noname's token to win. Therefore, I assume that he can pull his token and say FFR can't use it. However, at the same time, he did enter the contest. I guess that it's up to the judges, and Spitfire.

Sucks nonames R176 isnt going to win, that one was actually unique for reasons spitfire mentioned earlier. Not to much a fan of random graphics that look like they took 2 mins to make (no offense Xeno, even though I felt this was about a few of your submissions), they are fine if they are in a set like a majority of our current skill tokens, but by themselves just not a fan of them.

Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

I agree with the R176 v2.

But, FFR HAS SPOKEN!

Speaking of, congratulations to the winners.

Yeah I voted for this too. The song is happy hardcore, and the token image looks happy. Maybe people weren't thinking of it like that?

[yo man im awesome]

Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

Sucks even more that noname's The Earth Blew Up v2 token isn't winning, that token is dope

Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

I didn't listen to any of the songs, just picked the better image.

Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

Someone clue me in on Spitfire's design for Yama Xanadu. I'm not well versed in Touhou at all; I just listened to the song once and winged it.

I found this amusing, as this is the one that took me the 2nd longest to make. (Top was K Shores). Now if you said that about S, then yeah, I could understand. That one took me 10 minutes. I gave up after I couldn't get the glow right that I wanted. R176 was supposed to be brighter too, but it was relatively hard to do without making the light at the top too bright. Which is why I had Zephei edit it. Really, the idea of my tokens were that they COULD be part of a set if need be. Except my K Shores, out of the four that made it in, ALL of 'em could fit as sets.

As for the coloration... meh... Red is my happy color. :P Green and blue are calm colors. Not happy and jumpy colors.

Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

For the submissions, I guess I was most disappointed about Nothing's Gonna Stop Me v2 and R176 v2 ... I definitely liked that noname219's R176 token was actually happy-looking, but the cat in the corner threw me off. It looked to me like Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda, eheh. Rawrf, and those shots in TV shows or whatever when it has a transparent image of someone's face in the sky because the person died and some character is remembering them? The token made me think about that. I voted for Xeno/Zeph's image because it didn't mess with my head, even though I didn't think it was happy enough.

As for Nothing's Gonna Stop Me v2 ... Well, if nothing is stopping you, then, that's about, uh, not stopping ... so I think everyone kinda had that whole "red/stop" thing backwards. If we're going to use Xenorosth's (just realized I've been reading your username wrong this whole time, as "xenosorth") token for this, it kinda could use a little pretty-ing up ... If I could get that red burst background image, I'd like to make a revised version, but if you want to fix it up yourself, you can do that ... or if you don't want to fix it up at all, you can do that too, but at least consider this: the background is still a circle, so it should be squished to match the oval shape of the token at an angle, and the border should be something other than black, because it merges with both the background and the shadow, so it's like there's nothing there.

With the results, I guess I'm most surprised about Kirlian Shores. Sorry Xenorosth, but you didn't experiment with border or hand color at all, and that really dulled all of your submission ... And _.Spitfire._'s Kirlian Shores was my favorite of his.

... And now someone can say, "If you're going to be bitter now, you should have commented on submissions as they were coming in!" and, yeah, you're right; I'm disappointed most in myself for not trying to help when it really mattered, urf, so I'm really sorry about that ...

Anyway, um, Zephei's White Walls, Part 2 token was my favorite overall, then noname219's Ball of Malt v2 token. It has barley for whiskey on it, and it looks well-done, so I thought it was a perfect fit. I really liked Zephei's The earth blew up v2 token, but it didn't get top two. (Its gold border matches the flames more than a black border does.) noname219's was more creative, though, so I wouldn't have been able to pick a winner if it was between those two.
aaaa im so paranoid about people getting offended at anything i say and it makes it hard to want to say anything ever and aaaaa gosh
And uh ... I don't know. I'll just say this much for now ... This was definitely an interesting experience. I'm glad people had fun with it.

Awwwww mannnnn. The Colors themed token for White Walls pt. 2 is so awesome. T_T
It's a shame pretty much no one voted for it, meh. :\

I found it a bland token meself. I thought Zephei's token was better; the song's called "White Walls", and even if there is a huge hole in it because someone punched it too hard, IMO it fits the song better than "Dark Grey Walls with Coloured Lines".

By the way, I think it's safe to say that Spitfire won this competition. Not necessarily dominated it, but most of his tokens did a good job in gathering the majority of votes. Overall, this was a good competition and I'd like to judge for another one of these in the future.

Re: FFR Token Image Contest: Public Voting

The only reason that I didn't color the hand and rim is because I couldn't figure out how to do so with Gimp. Or I WOULD have. The template you gave confused the CRAP outta me. I given you permission to do whatever you want with it Silvuh. I'll work on 'em a bit first though.

Edit: Crap. Just noticed that I don't have the background images anymore. I did each token on the same file. If you want to edit R1, Maybe Zeph has it, otherwise you'll have to select what's around it. Anyway. The idea for Nothing's Gunna Stop Me is that the stop (which is why it's the 'stop sign' red) Is being shattered in an epic manner.
