Seraphine Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Posted June 29, 2011 @ kola & Poringly Thanks for voting you two i really appreciate it.
Veracity Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 My vote goes to the fourth contestant, Accel. Creativity - 4 Technical - 4 Execution - 4 Aesthetic - 4 Total: 16 It's impressive how much he edited the background and made it so original with using only a picture of tiles. I like the lighting around the character as well and think it adds a nice appearance to it.
Fafnir Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I'll vote for Elaice. Creativity, 3 Technical, 5 Execution, 5 Aesthetic, 5 Total, 17 Nice placing of the render and the c4ds. Although the text "Freedom" doesn't match pretty well with the water stock. Regardless, it pleasures my eyes. Although boxed sigs are pretty much overused in this contest, in my opinion. ~_~; Edited June 29, 2011 by Fafnir
Nelly Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) i will go for Elaice [5] Creativity, 5 Technical, 5 Execution, 3 Aesthetic, 3 total : 16 Mixing the water texture with the back ground make the render look pretty awesome..but adding the C4d make your signature look full ;< and it a bit darker .but it awesome great job.. :D Edited July 4, 2011 by Seraphine Fixed Total points
nines Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Voting for #1 really good freestyle idea. Love Homura-chan <3, has a good flow and good amount of motion blur *Creativity - 4 *Technical - 4 *Execution - 5 *Aesthetic - 5 Total Points:18 Edited July 2, 2011 by Seraphine Included total points
Seraphine Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 @ Fafnir,Nelly, nines Thanks for voting.
Elaice Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Fafnir's entry Creativity - 4 Technical - 4 Execution- 4 Aesthetic- 4 Total points: 16 I love how she incorporated the render and the c4d. Also, she did a good job with the text and the placement as well. Although I feel that there was no need for the motion blur because it makes the focal point harder to look at . Overall, the signature has good composition and structure. Props to you! (:
Kittie Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Looks like SOTW is actually starting to bring in some real talent... I vote for [1] Fafnir *Creativity - 3; signatures like this have been done before - but they definitely are not as common as the basic rectangular ones. *Technical - 5; i've never done anything like this before and the motion blur 'frame' looks challenging - i wouldn't know where to start! *Execution- 4; the combination of colors and the C4D with the render is exquisite. i docked one point off for the bottom of the signature. instead of fading off, it gets cut off with a line. *Aesthetic- 5; i knew on first sight that this was the one i wanted to vote for. everything about it is great - love the simplicity but boldness of the text. the colorscheme is vibrant but not distracting. it was a close call between this one and Elaice's. but Fafnir's entry stands out among the competition. the shape is unique and the colors are saturated. i love well executed text as well. i want to also give mention to Poringly's - i never knew you could just add faces to those things via Photoshop. I've seen the ones in deviantart like faces on eggs, and always thought they were actually drawn with a sharpie. how convincing! total points: 17
nines Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Looks like SOTW is actually starting to bring in some real talent... :( I used to sotw also you mean kitty cat :*( but that was when ngas still only voted for their friends
