Note: The tie-breaking vote was for Sig #3 but was accidentally given to #2. I apologize for any confusion this may had caused.
Voting Deadline: 01/16/2011 @ 9 PM (-6 GMT)! Sig #1Sig #2Sig #3Sig #4Sig #5This month is Challenge month! Both Icon & Signature competitions aim to have untraditional themes and challenges. Without further ado, here we go! Theme – Scenic Monologues: One thing that I barely see in signatures is atmosphere. It’s almost always about a character in front of a very abstract background with one word or line related to said character, why doesn’t the background get any love? This week’s challenge asks all sig makers to give the background a chance. If you want to participate in this week’s competition, you are required to make a signature about a background and by writing a little 3-4 line monologue about the signature, because even a minimum amount of lines from every sig maker can give backgrounds the proper response they need for working so hard giving your favourite people support. Max Size: 500x250 Text: Up to you, though I’m pretty sure you need to. Renders/Images: Scenic backgrounds only; NO CHARACTERS/PEOPLE!Brushes/Abstracts: Up to you. Filters/Textures: Up to you. Tutorials: Enabled -- Remember to state your source material.

When you say, no characters or people, that means we can still do renders of other things, like plants or animals right? Because I had a good idea for one if I can use tree renders XD

Because I had a good idea for one if I can use tree renders XD Well, yes, but the focus of this competition is the backgrounds themselves. You can use renders ONLY if they contribute to the signature's background. Think of it like a poem surrounded by a border or background that describes it or has a hidden meaning to it; that's the idea this challenge is asking for from all sig-makers here. Characters and people are banned because they usually take the attention away from the scene; give your background the chance to shine.

but backgrounds are made up of characters D: if you search any landscape with thorough eyes, you would find all sorts of secrets within that do lie. From the mighty oak, old and grand, to the various critters that roam the land. even the clouds in the sky, seem so full of life to I. So before you are so quick to shun, the background is all made into one. (hows that for poetic XD, but yeah, I get the picture, no one thing drawing the attention, let the background be the character :3) This shall require more thought! Edit: This cool? Poem Thingie: Where earth, wind, and water combine, Nature's truest form. Full of live, love, and infinite beauty, The calm before the storm.

Game Over: heroes fall, quest unfinished never to be heard from again does fate hold true? will their blades be taken up again, unaware of previous failure?
