Helpful sidekick of the Month


Sep 2006: Mrtn - quality control of aaglo's Araby marketplace...

Cool. Will you also be putting the tech icon challengers in here, too?

I could do that...

i think each trophy should be different, more characteristic of the award achieved.

Yeah, like a bust for the LHs, an athlete on a pedestal for the units, and... something else... for the PCXs. That would be cool

Like a golden Palette, of which they've all become masters.

Honestly, I don't see the point in this thread.

This thread was requested a couple of days ago, mainly to keep track of the winners.

As for the trophys: I'm open to suggestions. If you have any designs you want to propose, you can post them here...

I happen to know that Thunderfall quite enjoys these competitions, among other things.

Flamand, do you happen to have one of the pedastals without the trophy on a white background? I made some unique trophies for each category but i dont have a pedastal to put them on. Im willing to propose my design but i dont want to do it till everything is almost perfect.

Here you go...

thanks, but for some reason i cant see the pic, its only a white box with a red 'X'

Strange....

Edit: fixed

do you happen to have it on a white background with the inscription on also. Whenever i try to replace the background with a white one, the left side of the pedastle becomes white as well, sorry if this is a hassle.

heres the Unit MoM trophy:

heres the LH MoM trophy:

Ack! Why did you put them in jpg? Never use jpeg! I can't see what they look like on black, could you post a preview in black instead of white?

...and i dont know what to do for the pcx MoM. Maybe a plack of a palette with an engraving...

it doesnt look too hot in black...

i dont know how to get rid of those colors surrounding the trophy-thats why it looks worse in black

To get rid of it, you go pixel-by-pixel to fix it. Tsk-tsk, you need to work on your paint skills,
