    Yeah, but this one involves less skill. If you take a look at the Splash, its a simple Render, Merged into the Splash with Text added - Actually, nevermind, I won't bother seing as fairness comes in many ways >_< an it'd be sort of greedy makin' it only renderers.

    I think the time that V2 comes would be a great time for changing it.

    It actually looks very nice on there, but I'd like to see a video game render on it. If I were a new user and saw that instead of a well-known video game character, I would view GR a little differently.

    I think that dragon rules. It will take up more BW then halo but i have fast internet so it doesnt bother me. it will be resized so it wont take that long for 56kers aswell.

    i dont think that is a good idea for the front picture

    1. its not a GAME RENDER (www.gamerenders.com)
    2. its someones piece of artwork, even though kazuya got permission to render it, i wouldnt want someone using my artwork like that on their website.
    3. i dont like the render

    i see what you mean about it not being a game render.

    i look forward to seeing a change come with V2.

    and thanks to the 27 people who voted yes :P

    I like the idea of a new picture. but i think the dragon isn't the best choice.
    A competetion would be nice though.

    I also like the idea of using a picture from kazuya, because he is allmost the best-known member over here. And he is one of the best renderers on GR. So it would be a great tribute to Kazuya. But there are more people like him, so it wouldn't be fair to the rest of them.
    Maybe a compiled picture is the best solution there?

    I also think it shouldn't be a render only, because GR is more active in sig-making than at rendering (i think). And pictures like sigs, look better than a render only.

    So i vote yes to, make a new entry picture. but i vote no to, use kazuya's dragon.

    lolol, I've got permission to do "what I want" with the picture as long as I don't claim it as my own! Not my picture? :( Fine..... I'll just hunt out another one, but I stay by my initial suggestion on making it members must/b] use a render that they've rendered are the only ones that are allowed to enter as its sort of unfair to us if some dood/doodette whos never rendered in his/her uses our render which we worked hard to extract and wins.

    Sorry, I know it sounds unfair to the sig makers an other designers, but if you let everyone enter, I know for a fact us renderers will have a seriously little chance of winning.

    Kazuya you can't win everything. This is a GRAPHICS site. When it comes to graphics, if there's going to be a contest then everyone gets to participate. Personally if someone makes a great design and uses (for example) one of my renders then that's awesome, well done. But if I make a design and it's not nearly as good as one of the other members then I don't want to win. It's called a community for a reason.

    I don't want to sound like an ass, but everytime I see you post it's always about YOU and how you're "the best." Let other people have a chance.

    If there's a contest, EVERYONE should be in it.

    Thanks.

    Edit: Oh and I forgot. A dragon?? It's called GAMErenders.

    It doesn't really matter whut render it is, sure the name hints "GameRenders" that they're are "renders" of all types. Also, the dragon render is based from a game :lol:

    Also, no offense RZN, but I encourage and make a lot of good upbeat posts, I only talk about myself when someone "challenges" my skill level. I ain't a big headed person that goes around saying "Haha! I'm the best!!" - I'm just proud of whut I've achieved :)

    Anyways, like I said, I know it sounds greedy that renderers should only be able to enter, but its my opinion on how it should be done, as well, the renderers did render it! An' I don't remember the last time a "LEGENDARY AWESOME GREAT GODLY" Designer made a "LEGENDARY AWESOME GREAT GODLY" background and uploaded the PSD File and let everyone have it for free an use it how they wanted to...

    See where I'm going with this? I know its unfair, but thats my opinion on how the contest should be, but I know I'm not going to win this arguement nor the tournament itself. As well, (Do I even need to explain? Its pretty clear why) (I suck at designing :lol: )

    Anywayz, I think this thread can be locked as all its doing is causing silly arguements >_<
