Jae Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 This piece right here has so much feeling in it. It's amazing that someone used this render. And didn't just simply make it look good. Instead added more of a aura around it. It's such a phenomenal piece.
» Pat Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I love your style, I love those shiny effects & I love the fairies. It's so hot how it looks as if one of them was sitting right on her shoulder. I love it.
Yeung Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I wish I could vote for two, but I have to go with this one. o 3o The theme 'Death' was projected by the piece very well. And though the scene is all gloomy and what not, the fairies were a good touch. :3
Icon Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 #1. The only thing that made me think of 'death' was the text. For me, skulls and crossbones = poison or pirates. #2. Is that Samus or Halo? I almost couldn't even tell that it was one of them. Again, it just doesn't fit with what I was expecting to see in the Death version of SOTW. #3. First off, I love your style. There's no name attached but it's screams you. If you took out the text then noone would ever know that this was an entry for a Death contest. The image itself just doesn't relay the theme, unless you've seen that movie with that one guy who lost his wife and child and he keeps seeing those butterflies or something and in the end the butterfly leads him to the place where his wife died and he finds out his child lived. It's still a very lovely image. #4. FINALLY, something that says Death! Spiderman slumped over M.J.'s grave after an exhausting battle. The darkness is closing in and the light from within is spreading out. I can see the camera zooming in as the light grows stronger. #5. Hmm, looks like a mix between L.O.D., a leech with a blowhole and the alien hideout from Abyss. It's just not doing anything for me. my vote is for #4 i can't believe NOONE choose an image of the grim reaper !
rinrin Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I'd like to vote for this one. I feel that this sig just screams the theme of death. The render used it perfect, not only does it show the hardship that Spiderman had to endure in fighting but it also shows that he may have won from a hard battle but he still lost someone very dear to him and that just sucks (lack of better wording LOL). I feel that the aura added also emphasizes the emotions conveyed by the render and makes it even more effective.
Devotion Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I'm not going to vote right away, but I'll explain why I'd vote for the following two Number 4 is impressive. So many sigs look nice and flashy, but almost zero of them have any ounce of story. It took me a while to see what it was, but when I did it was amazing. The emotion in it is superior to all the others, which should be present when you're dealing with death. The colors could be a little more varied, but the aura around the tombstone reminds me of a spirit, maybe Mary Jane's spirit. Number 5 impressed me too, because of that animation. Very neat, I love that part. But the other half of the sig is lost, and very hard to follow. I know what it is after looking closely at it. It's hard to pick between 5 and 4. The horse's head is amazing. But if you drew that, let me know and I'll edit my vote, because if you draw something and make it a sig, that's the best sig making out there.
Icon Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Oh! ... that's a horses head ... wow, i'm blind ... sorry my vote still stands
xBiscuit Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I vote for this one. Why? It shows the meaning of death, which is the main point of this SOTW. I also want to add that I like how the aura emphasizes his costume being ripped off, very good.
Penguin545 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I like the fourth one because its cool and the aurora makes it <3
MAC Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 in "death" concept everybody fail!!! :weird: but this signature is close to death concept!!! so my Vote Signature4
Shinada Hsin Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 IMa vote for yeungs The art and texture is quite kool. The skuls work perfectly.
Episcopal Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 Even though I'm typing my research paper right now, I still took time to think on why I vote for signature 4. There's this unknown feeling I just get when I see it, as if it really captured death even without showing the grim reaper or any other text aside from the grave stone. It's superbly done, and I would really give it my 100% vote.
Ryoji Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I like the style portrayed into this signature, it's the only one I wouldn't consider an eyesore. The concept of the fairies also could be incorporated into a symbolic meaning of spiritual resemblance, featuring the theme. Of all the images, this one was my favorite. And is probably the only one I wouldn't go blind looking at; not to mention that sexy font. Nice work. <3 Other then that the best way I can sum it up is with my many quotes I say irl... ...I'd get off to that
Kuyuti Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I'm not much of an artist but when I look at pictures I'm looking for some sort of story behind. Where as number 3 has a nice quote added onto it it lacks the depth of story that number 4 contains so my vote will go for number 4 ^^ because: The artistic talent that captures the story of death. The symbolism created when the suit is being torn off is amazing. The colors are simply beautiful.
death... Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I honestly love the theme. Above all of them who had a job well done, signature number 4 didn't fail me. It took me a while to look who's in the sig. and realized that it was him :) I loved the aura effects and his chose of the grave that really fits the theme. In this sig., I really sensed the fatigue and his feelings when he lost someone very important in his life that makes it different among the other sigs...
Devotion Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 So it turns out Siege actually drew his sig, and didn't just take pictures off the net. I commend that highly, especially that he animated it. It's not the sleekest sig out of the bunch, but sometimes the best one doesn't have to be modern looking. So I vote for 5. Refer to my last post for my reason. As a side note, It was really hard choosing between 4 and 5. The deciding factor was that 4 has gotten enough votes, and I wanted to give 5 a chance.
Terroryst Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Posted March 26, 2009 IMa vote for yeungs The art and texture is quite kool. The skuls work perfectly. I'm guessing he told you to vote for him or something because I don't remember putting names up.
Shinada Hsin Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 No not rly I got bored in class. and just voted because Im Nice Like that. ;D
Yeung Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 You're a retard Devin. Lol. And wow, he drew that? I would've voted for him instead.. qq;;
Kittie Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I vote for signature number 4. Definitely the most emotional and expressive composition in the running for this week's SOTW. Everyone can relate to the Peter Parker/MJ story, and the render chosen was very smart. Looking at it, I can already formulate a whole story to go along with it, which is a sign of a work well done. Very striking signature. On a side note: The anonymity component of this week's SOTW was very smart. :] I really don't know who made which signature - cuz I KNOW BLUEBERRY SUBMITTED ONE, BUT SIGNATURE 4 COULD BE HIS...OR SOMEONE ELSE'S WHO USES THE SAME BORDER, JAJAJAJAJAJJAAJAJ. LOOLOLOLOL AHAUAHUAHAUAHAH. BANANAS & BONGOS.
