Welcome to the poll for the Weekly Contest! Members may vote for the entrant they feel did the best job this week. If you entered the contest, please remember to vote, as it is required. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to PM me, ExpiredRascals, or ISBPathfinder.
Theme
The theme for this week was:
Due to this being the first week in a while the contest has been run, we're going to start things off pretty simply with a black and white theme. You're free to go in whatever direction you'd like with the theme as long as your avatar and banner are strictly black and white (no colours).
Rules
Members who participated in the weekly contest must vote in order for their submission to be considered. You may not vote for yourself, and if you do not vote, your submission will be removed from consideration. If this offence is repeated, a ban from the weekly contest may be put in place.
It would also be nice if you could explain your votes in a short post. Again, this is not required, but would be nice.
Gimmick accounts cannot vote, this unfairly swings the vote and can lead to your main account getting banned from participating in further weeks.
Soliciting yourself is not allowed. That includes threads that directly ask for a vote as well as signatures with "please vote for me". I do not want to censor the topics of clan-threads or the like, but blatant attempts to manipulate the polls are not acceptable. This rule is not directed against posts that suggest voting in the contest in general, though. A violation of this rule will result in a ban from the contest - if a contestant has done it, he/she may no longer enter, if another member has done it all votes that obviously have been caused by that advertising will be removed.
I'm going to have to vote for Ghosting this time, his Banner and avatar share a very pleasing style. The only thing I think could of made his banner better if the three soot sprites were all doing something different instead of being the same pose, makes it just feel copy and pasted instead of natural. Overall though really well done.
ISBP, I liked your submission but sadly I couldn't vote for it because it's not both a banner and an avatar, just a personal thing more on my side. Past that, it looks rather nice, a bit hard to tell that they're charms in there, but it went into grayscale rather nicely; the images blend together rather smoothly. Overall looked nice and I think you're really on your way. I look forward to seeing more results from you. I hope you keep participating!
My vote this time goes to Ghosting. The composition is really creative, and I like the use of "white space" so to speak, by making the borders stand out instead of the images just being a full square/rectangle.
I liked both ISBPathfinder and pet snake's entries, but ISBP's was unfortunately neither a sig or banner; and, while I enjoyed the Totoro avatar and banner, the creativity in regards to the composition of Ghosting's really stood out, here.
As an aside - I apologize that I didn't participate in the weekly contest as I had intended to do. It's been a crazy week, and I haven't even been able to churn out the requests for my shop. I'll definitely try to make it next week, so don't fret that the interest isn't there - it was just bad timing for me this week
Thanks guys, it was really my first crack at trying to do much of anything with image manipulation. More than anything I just wanted to stir up more activity :D.
I will see what I can do though to get something that fits the requirements a bit better for size next time.

Congrats Ghosting on winning this week's competition. I will try to get a running tally going somewhere for who has won what week's to track for trophy rewards.
