Well its a sad day in Apollo Creed 01's town. I made both a user skin and an avatar from my Innovated Screenshot, the avatar of which was seen in the BWU all star 6 contest

USER SKIN:: (photobucket preview)
AVATAR ::(photobucket preview)

Im kinda baffled why neither were new additions to the site, they seem more than qualified given their overall composition- and im not just "flaunting it" since im the author, i honestly think that one (if not both) deserved to be added whether i produced it or not.

So im asking you fellow users to give me your input, whether you agree with me or not, to see if im alone in my judgment- and if im not, then i would appreciate a breakdown or a basis from 'the man' himself as to why they were abolished into the void of cyberspace (although id have a better chance of winning the lottery than this being an outcome...)
**Remember that you can respect the art even if you hate the artist**

^although i just dont see how thats possible in my case... lol

TL:DR - The avatar& userskin above werent added to the site, should they have been?

Im calling you out Stoshy!

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

Posted by: buddydog327Allllright. Let's get down to it. Buddy. Is it alright if I call you Buddy? Cool. The black boxes you threw behind the member title, gamertag, join date, etc looks... horrendous. ALSO, the placement of those entities are subject to change. In laymans terms, that means that your skin won't work. Otherwise, it's a decent layout.

As far as the avatar goes, you shouldn't feel sad that your avatar didn't make it. Avatars far greater than the one you submitted weren't chosen. Don't sweat it.

I don't disrespect you or your art, but I do believe that there is a higher tier that you must climb to if you want your art to be featured on the site. Either that, or be very uncreative and painfully bad at Photoshop. Either route can land you in the spotlight with a star nameplate.

Here's a recent one.
That's 200 x 200... That fits no criteria. Try again.

Cool, just crop it to fit 90x90. I'm probably going to make some Halo reach rank avatars.

yeah, the black bars behind the text for the user skin are just a result of my inability to photoshop properly- but i did realize the white text could be difficult to see w/o it...
yet i didnt feel like redacting it so soon after posting, wanted to see if anyone would realize it

as for the avatar, that still should have been added to the site considering some of the other ones added instead...
(ex: there are 2 new noble team insignia avatars, the one on the front page looks nice but on the 2nd or 3rd page there is a dull gray one- i dont see the point in duplicates that are downgrades seeing how the front one was a contest winner)

also i did land a star and have been featured multiple times, anyways thanks for the input!

Can we have some non-Halo related ones people! Like Marathon or Oni...? Something to mix it up. I'm sick of all the Halo avatars.

I still want to know how you make screenshots like that lol,

your avatar and background did look nice,
but i guess you'll just literally have to blame stosh for them not getting chosen, you got good work tho, keep it up

That might look pretty good if it were 90x90.
