Millenia Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 i vote for #3, cause it wont load for me. HEH. jk~
Ethereal Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Posted July 11, 2009 The fork, apparently it's a 404-Error. :(
Millenia Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 aw ok. srs: I vote for #1, while it's simple it deciphers the theme quite well- as it's an actual player commiting a 'crime' by bug abusing. I think it was the signature that fit the theme better than the other signatures.
spraybottle Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 I love number 2. It has captured the essence of the theme well and has added a touch of their own unique skills into the signature. You can see plenty of black representing mystery, conflict, death, and ultimately crime, and you also notice a well blended creepy hand that seems to be about to perform a horrific deed. Furthermore, the artist cleverly introduced the evil and dangerous ring from the Lord of the Rings into this crime-scene galore. This signature is a genuine masterpiece well focused on the topic at hand and has used their skills to subtly blend different pictures and elements into this spectacular art. There is not a doubt in my mind that number 2 should win this prize.
Devotion Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 I vote #6 The comic book style is almost never seen in a siggy, and it's the only one where an actual crime is being committed. It looks like the Skogul loves the guy, and feels hurt that he's with that girl. So she kills the girl. I like that it's RO related and a real crime. Umm, I don't know if the creator of the sig drew the comic or if it was taken from somewhere else. That would influence my vote.
Icon Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 I have to agree with devo. Knowing what the sigs started out as greatly influences my decisions. Can we have links to originals? If you have time? :D
Ethereal Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Posted July 11, 2009 What do you mean by originals? Like the original stocks that people used, etc.?
Terroryst Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 I like #6, looks like a comic book. Also shows the crimes a heart would do to get what it wants.
Devotion Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 What do you mean by originals? Like the original stocks that people used, etc.? yes
Anarii Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 I vote for number 2, it has nice effects at the bottom where the ring is being robbed. I also like the overall dark theme it creates representing the crime and bad that comes from it.
Ethereal Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Posted July 12, 2009 Alright, signature #6 was the only signature that gave me its sources. The 1st one and the Baby Super Novice one were both from screenshots. Other signatures I already know it's from them. Source #6 : http://s653.photobucket.com/albums/uu251/SigoftheweeK/ Another notification, voting ends tonight @ 0:00:00 Servertime. May I request everyone who reads this topic and whoever hasn't voted yet, please vote and tell your friends to vote.
Everyone Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 when i saw the title CRIME i was expecting a lot more creativity, this was your chance to be gorey and gruesome but only 2 people even touched that aspect 1) neat, a screenshot 2) it's crime right? .. maybe my monitor is messed up but all i see is a ring (i can't think of LOTR without imagining little people with furry feet) 3) neat, a screenshot 4) only going half naked with a body like that is a crime /ok or wearing black undies with yellow crime scene tape is SOO last season 5) this reminds me of an album cover (which is a good thing) the blood on the knife reminds me of something /hmm OH YEA!! crime! the image reflecting from the knife looks like a doll .. maybe an extra voice in his head(or a twisted lover?!) .. Revenge of the GooGoo Dolls /heh and if you're like me, with plenty of voices in your head, the slogan makes perfect sense. 6) a crime of passion, a woman scorned well, you know the tale .. if women can be that evil then imagine what a female demi-god could do /gg we need more participants do people get to vote for their own works? The video I wanted to make but didn't have time for:: (Crimes against humanity) A teenager sitting in the middle of the floor with his back towards you, Fresh blood running down the walls, pools being soaked up by the couch and carpets, As the video zooms in, the teenager is visibly disturbed, eyes twitching and teeth grinding, You spot a tear rolling off of his cheek as he reads a piece of paper, The camera refocuses on the background, not giving you a chance to see what the paper was, As the background becomes clear you see a pair of bloodied bodies laying behind him, Then the camera pans back around to seeminly land on the teen's shoulder, You barely catch a glimpse of the paper which reads ''Microsoft Warranty'' as the teen lowers the paper revealing a blank T.V. and THE RED RING OF DEATH!!!! omg that was scary!!! /heh @xbox - IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! who's the real victim here!!! ..l..
Ethereal Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Posted July 12, 2009 No, you're not allowed to vote for the signature you made. And by the way, you didn't specify which signature you're voting for.
toypupetz Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I'd have to vote for #6. I love the use of colors in contrast with the background. Other than that, I like the pictures used to compile the image.
Ryoji Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I vote for number 2... It's the only crime against humanity, besides Tiago's face. Which represents the theme... And terms of artistic choice, I think the stock was chosen appropriately. I'm sorry, I vote for theme and for art and they both went to 2 for me. ;( Everything else is a bit painful to look at for over a second...especially @ tiago's face. ugh. Lolz.
Penguin545 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I vote for number 2 because i think those dark colours represent evilness in the signature and the ring just made me <3
Ethereal Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 Closed. I was planning to close this yesterday night, but I was at a family's friend house for dinner. I'll be posting up the winners shortly.
