Calling all graphics gurus! The 2007 SidCity.net calendar is on the horizon and we're looking for work by SidCitizens to feature in the new edition. Interested? Here are the particulars:
Submission Deadline: Sunday, November 5, 2006 Submission Protocol: Post your entry here, no wider than 600px, by the deadline. You may include a link to the larger size if you'd like. Dimensions: 2300x1800 pixels, 200dpi Format: .jpg or .png Content: Well, Sid, of course.  Because of copyright limitations, photos of Sid from his movie and television roles are off limits, as are photos from magazines or professional photo shoots. We realize that this means a healthy chunk of the really good photos are unusable, but since this will be an item that we're selling, we have to be careful about copyrights. However, other photos are acceptable, and any of his quotes from interviews can be used. The quality of the printing is very good, so feel free to be as complex or as spare as you wish.Voting: We will hold an open vote to choose the winners from Monday, November 6-Sunday, November 12, 2006. Prize: Fame and fortune! Well, sort of. Your entry will be published in the 2006 SidCity.net Calendar and you'll receive your very own copy of the calendar. For examples, check out last year's entries here. |

If you want to win you should use it.
 I'm probably just doing one for fun. (there are too many real "graphics gurus" on the board )But I wanted to ask if we are allowed to use such pics as the red-carpet/press conference pics (from Berlin etc.). I'm not sure but they are probably too official, as well as pics from magazines...? Ulli |

So far, the stipulations in the Content section above are all I can approve. I'm working on how to get permission to use some of the professional photos that are in the Gallery, but until that happens, please avoid using them.

This is a great idea that I most definitely hope to be able to be apart of
 . My question then is , if we cannot use the publicity shots and such, mentioned afore hand, may we use pics that were taken by fans, from the conventions or other such appearances of Sid? There were some of those in the gallery as well, I believe. And I was also wondering if using a pic, that was taboo, as a referrance so that I could draw him myself, was off limits too? Thank you!

As someone who's convention photos are up at the gallery I would like to pass on my permission to use the ones I took.

We do have permission from the fans whose photos are in the Gallery to use those photos for the calendar, so knock yourselves out. As for original drawings based on other photos, I was hoping someone would come up with that idea! Keep in mind, though, that your drawing has to be an original...simply altering a photo to look like a drawing does not excuse us from copyright laws. |

Yeah! Nope, no altering here! I will get right on it!!! I think I may have a montage that will look good. Can we submit only one month or as many months as we want?

Wonderfull! I have already begun then!!! When I get it finished I may need help with submitting it in the size of 600px but I do have the image set to the other proper size settings. But if you were to walk me through it I am sure I will get the hang of it in no time. Oh, and though I cannot find my original "scruffy alternate Julian" pic right now, I am using a reference of "him" for one of the pics! *wink*

When you mean submitting it here, do you mean posting it in this thread? If not, do we email you them instead? I kind of have one whipped up already just after reading the first post. It happens to be one that I paintshopped of Sid from a picture my husband took of him and me at the Meadowlands 2001 con. I then add him to a picture we took in Mass. that I thought would be a nice scenic pic. Sid comes out a little fuzzy though.

If I remember this right, then we have posted it here in the thread (last year).
Looking forward to see some of your calendar suggestions.  Ulli |

Ok, I did this one and I hope that I get this right for posting it so please bear with me if I have to repost a few times to get it right!
(removed link for full size...didn't work right) This is the original, done in the full size. It may be too big... um.. again, like I said I am working on how to fix that for the post. I will try today to get it down to 600. Yikes! I was right, too big. I am editing to fix now! The full sized pic would not upload so I sized it down to 600, however, I will need to know how to submit the larger verion if it is necessary?!?! Thanks!  Edited for punctuation, capitalization and excessive use of ellipses. ~Mods

Hej
here are two piece I have made. Don´t ask me to get the right size, I´ve tried it several times but I can´t fix it. Hope thats fine anyway.  Edit: OK, seems my pics are to large to post them. Can anyone please help me, how do I post them in a smaller size and by clicking on them they will open larger??

Here is my suggestion for one calendered:
A collage made out of 'private' pictures of Sid and his fans. Someone could collect the photos of the members who want to share photos and create a collage. |
