Voting Rubric: Rate each of the following categories from 1 to 5, with 5 being 'excellent' and 1 being 'ok/decent'... *Creativity - how creative the signature is. *Technical - how challenging the attempted idea. *Execution- how the idea is put together and how successful it is. *Aesthetic- how visually pleasing the signature is, regardless of how complex it may be.

Poringly Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) My vote goes to [3]Fafnir, Creativity. - 4/5 Technical - 4/5 Execution - 4/5 Aesthetic - 4/5Total points : 16 I like how he make the sig, its unique, like how he made the water looks like a real ice and they got some reflection under it and the fire which looks like there's a war at the end of the sea of ice. The colors used work well together. Plus. its eye-catching.Edit : woops, wrong total points addition. just realize it. xD Edited September 26, 2011 by Poringly
Aerynth Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) My vote goes to [9]sookyay, Creativity. - 5/5 Technical - 4/5 Execution - 5/5 Aesthetic - 5/5 Total points : 19/20. I find it rather difficult to choose, cause I see a few really good entry in this. I personally really like appie's, poringly's sig on fire and ice but I vote for sookyay's sig is because of the RO sprites you used complimented both the girls well. I find it eye-catching and to the sense that it is link to Ragnarok in a way. Its like the girls on your sigs have their miniature-self of themselves in RO, oh btw it is cool that you added the Chinese words (Fire and Ice) as a tattoo on em. Haha, what more way to put plus the effects you used compliments your sig well. Edited September 26, 2011 by Aerynth
Seraphine Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Posted September 27, 2011 My vote goes to [2]nines Technical - 2/5 Creativity - 3/5 Execution - 5/5 Aesthetic - 5/5 Total Points : 15 x 2 = 30 There were some eye catching signatures but i chose nines signature for the appeal factor and it just caught my attention the most, also his render matched really well with his background. The ice thing on the right side was also a nice touch whether it was part of the background image or not, And the execution was done really well.
Elaice Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) My vote goes to [8] Appie Technical - 4/5 Creativity - 4/5 Execution - 4/5 Aesthetic - 5/5 Total Points: 17 Although the signature looks simple it stands out. It illustrates a calm and vibrant atmosphere with the use of the galaxy/space texture and not to mention a great choice of stock as well. Both fire and ice symbolize love in a way which is clearly shown in Appie's signature, the burning passion and heat of desire and the freezing sting of someones hate or jealousy who wanted them apart :) Edited September 28, 2011 by Elaice
