Seraphine Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I vote for number [7] Skyerine because of how well her images come together to form an amazingly executed sig in my opinion, and the images that are on the sig compared to the source images which aren't as bright as the ones on the sig which really improve the signatures aesthetic overal look and feel.Goodjob. Creativity-3 Technical-4 Execution-5 Aesthetic-5 Total Points-17 not sure it's supposed to be double for a gm or only a judge :/
Justice Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 Only judges have the scores doubled. But nice vote Seraphine.
nines Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 ^ the technical is really more of a 1. for all the sigs really x.x. Im going to vote for skyreine. Its really good fitting with the render to the background. Pretty unique though if I was looking at this from a scientific stand point it wouldn't really fit into the theme of natural disaster. Font is nice and.....thats all I can give really....... Creativity: 3 Techncial: 1 Execution: 3 Aesthetic: 4 Howd you do the fire font btw :O is that an actual font with flames or did u add the flames?
Justice Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 Good vote, nines. When I inspect that text, it looks something like the font Times New Roman or something similar with fire put on top. It's nicely put together. I don't know if that's what she did or not though. It could all be one text. Maybe Skyerine will enlighten us.
Annie ♥ Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 I vote for [3] Yeung, the colors in the signature are buttiful, and the brushes/patterns really go well together. Creativity: 3 Techncial: 3 Execution: 4 Aesthetic: 2 C:
Ita Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 I vote for [4] Haruka. because, it is creative and looks very life-like, it also depicts in a calm way how devastating a tsunami can be. I also love the water-color effect. Creativity: 5 Technical: 2 Execution: 3 Aesthetic: 4
Cochise- Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 My Vote Goes to [4] Haruka ! As usual , She's just being her creative self when she made this! I think Ita Just said most of the things I would have too, Lol. I also really love the water colour effect, and I also love the way It blends into the background , adding to that Mystical, Nautical Feel. Also, I love the Font She used! Good Job Haruka! :) :D Creativity: 5 (Duh) Technical: 3 Execution: 2 Aesthetic:5
Annie ♥ Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 ^ Haruka''s friend, she didn't do a bad job but 2 5s are BS, its not that good.. just a random effect over a picture, no offense to Haruka.
Skyerine Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 hi sorry for the late reply. i was using my friends pc when i made that siggie, it comes with the font :o i will ask him about that and let you guys know c:
Appie Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 My vote is for [1] R e i It's a very straight-forward approach to the theme but I think it's done very well.Nice clean crisp color and I love the use of black. I feel like it really embodies the physical and emotional aspects of a natural disaster, as it can be both beautiful and devastating. Only think I'd point out is you can barely make out the text, though it really isn't even necessary.. The image itself is just too captivating. Creativity-3 Technical-4 Execution-4 Aesthetic-5
Cochise- Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 ^ Haruka''s friend, she didn't do a bad job but 2 5s are BS, its not that good.. just a random effect over a picture, no offense to Haruka. First off, I'm not voting for her just because she is my friend, If you read my whole post I describe exactly why I did. Oh And I dont see you posting sigs with Random effects on them :) If its that easy , why dont you do it? :) No offense, but It's my point of view right? Also, I admit I dont know anything about the technical aspect of making sigs, I just voted for the one that's most appealing. Also, This is the first time ive voted, So you cant frame me for voting for the same person every time either :) Also Annie, How'd you know were good friends? Like to creep around profiles much ? :) Again, no offense, But you can give someone those marks if you want to too, Its not wrong if everyone gets the opportunity right? because last time I checked, This was a Democracy. :) See ya around :) Again, No hard feelings. :)
Justice Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Posted March 21, 2011 Cool down everyone. Don't go starting fights. That goes for Annie and Cochise-. Put discussions like these in a PM.
Cochise- Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Cool down everyone. Don't go starting fights. That goes for Annie and Cochise-. Put discussions like these in a PM. Okay Sorry :) No fighting :D
Yeung Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Using ":)" a lot isn't fighting. Lmao. Anyways, my vote goes to [7] Skyrine. Even though she just put a bunch of fire themed things together, all of the items she meshed into the picture fit perfectly with each other. Not to mention that the picture itself is crisp and awesome. It's like a poster for a bad ass movie or game lmao. Honestly it's the most aesthetically pleasing sig out of all of ours, in my opinion. Creativity - 3 Technical - 3 Execution - 5 Aesthetic - 5
Cochise- Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Using ":)" a lot isn't fighting. Lmao. Precisely ! Yay! :D
Annie ♥ Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Plus, fighting is something I prefer to do IRL. C: And; calling me a profile stalker is kind of sad, I knew you were good friends because of the marks you gave her. c: Edited March 22, 2011 by Annie ♥
Seraphine Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 No need to continue this fight, do it in pms if you must please keep it clean this is a voting thread.
Sheeque Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 doods voting supposedly ended like days ago -__- anyways i vote skyrines . cos its sooo orange and its fantastic . four . Lmfao :-)) :-D in all seriousness .. because its appealing and she been using different techniques i guess :-/ but but but , its kinda out of theme though . meh still like it :-p Creativity - 3 Technical - 7 Execution - 4 Aesthetic - 5
Kayleigh Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I'm voting for signature [3] by Yeung because when I had my mind set on disasters and looked at all the signatures, I really found that his fits the theme the most. It reminds me of the cretaceous age when all the dinosaurs died. The big volcano in the middle and the bright colors in the sky, which might look like comets and meteors coming down, simply portrait the end of an era (in my eyes). This signature was the most outstanding one to me as it looks terrifying but beautiful at the same time. The others were very good too tho. Creativity - 4 Technical - 4 Execution - 4 Aesthetic - 5 Edited March 23, 2011 by Kayleigh
Annie ♥ Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 no LOL... I give yeung 400 500 600 9001 ty.
nines Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Technical on all of em is like a one as I've said before lol. (not going all rage) just sayin. Whys technical even on the thing most people only know how to change filters and drag and drop :O nothing technical bout that.
Yeung Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 I actually used a normal brush to darken the other side of the smoke... and the snow/ash.. qq
Justice Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 Sorry for the late close. I was out of town until now. doods voting supposedly ended like days ago -__- Voting is 1 week long if you looked at the dates I put in the first post. Thanks for the patience. Winners will be posted soon.
