SOTW Theme Discussion

Ok. The response on this week was a little disappointing. So let's look for some suggestions.

What theme do you think would work well? And why?

Good vs Evil... i think that everyone can choose whatever characters, whatever styles... there are plenty of stocks to choose for this theme and there would probably be many entries for such a simple theme. Just my opinion.

Re: SOTW Theme Discussion

I can only guess to the reason for the low turn out, but I would surmise that the specific themes may limit (or impress limitations) on their creativity.

Going back to broader themes like the recent Black&White theme, a good vs evil theme like Nigatsu Suggested, may be the key to themed SOTW.

Some other suggestions:
Required stock: Made to include multiple 4 or 5 (or more) stock pics to choose from.
Color theme: (Week of the Red Hue?? :P )

Perhaps a week dedicated to Serrin? not sure how that would fly, but damn it sounds like fun.

Good vs evil usually means using two focals, which causes the sig to be way too cluttered and completely disrupts the flow..

There's alot of truth to that, although if you pick a good vs evil theme with one triumphing over the other you could give focus to the victor; might be challenging. I've certainly ruined more than one sig trying to get multiple character points or renders in.

Re: SOTW Theme Discussion

Hmm... good vs evil...

*imagines firefight between Tau'ri and Jaffa*

I have no idea what an SOTW is, so any chance someone can fill me in? :P

Edit: Nevermind that last question, Arios decided to fill me in. ;)

Re: SOTW Theme Discussion

How about do a Photomanip? Something different than other themes. City Photomanip, Forest Photomanip anything really. Do it about a Tree or Flower or even a Train. (Made a Normal Train look like a Toy XD)
