Almost a year ago, on 24th of July I posted the first Music Speedart on YouTube. At first I just wanted to see how people would respond to it, make it a small side project and then drop it if it doesn't pick up. But actually even though the channel with a very simple idea over the year gained only a few (28) subscribers, I found that I really enjoy making those speedarts and those signatures and continued to do so even though it wasn't hugely popular.
This is where it started:
And here it is now:
Now I'm almost halfway into the second season, with 38 different signatures. The quality varied, of course, but I can see that my graphics skills improved over that year and it's obviously something positive. And so, to have something fun for people to do and to break off for our forum artists from the Freelancer themed sigs - a small contest.
Rules are simple: pick a song, theme a signature around it. Siggy size has to be 700x220px. Send the signature and a link to the song to me via a private message. On the 8th of August I'll post all the sigs on the forums and through a week long forum poll a winner will be chosen - that person will receive 300 million credits in game. I'll also give out 100 mil to a signature of my choice.*
So... yeah. That's it. Enjoy and watch MSA on YouTube.
* - if anyone wants to chip in to the contest, drop me a pm or contact me on skype.
