Seraphine Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) - Voting -October 27th ,2011- November 3rd ,2011 Theme: Final Fantasy Welcome to the voting thread of the 51st SOTW! When voting in the SOTW, we will be expecting you to fully understand the rules. Don't know the rules? Click Here Rules that the voter must understand: *Voters must have at least a post count of 10 in order to vote. *Contestants are not allowed to vote for themselves, but are now allowed to vote in the SOTW. *Judges' signature grades will be doubled (e.g., if a judge gives 10, it would count as 20). *Non-judge points will count for full credit. *Each voter must fill out at least one rubric for the entry of their choice. *Each entry must have at least 2-3 GOOD sentences in addition to the rubric. * Signatures will be based on a point-basis. 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. Include the total points. Must include 2-3 sentences discussing the over-all reason why you're casting a vote for the signature. Try to think in terms of the categories above, but you're free to discuss other elements as well. (Note: you only have to do this once.)

Melon Bread Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 All of the entries were really awesome, this time around, being my first SOTW vote, It goes to.. [2]Nelly Creativity - 4 Technical - 2 Execution - 4 Aesthetic - 5 Total points - 15 Though it might not look complex, it caught my eye, being simple yet effective and the fact that it was not overdone which made it unique and elegant.
kola Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) All the participants did a good job but i can only choose one.. Its kinda hard to choose but i think this time around i'll choose hmm.. [2]Nelly! Creativity - 3 Technical - 4 Execution - 5 Aesthetic - 4 Total points= 16 Well in my opinion nelly and yeung are very close but i chose nelly because i think for me she has done a terrific job at doing the signature. Yup i can say that she has caught my eyes with her superb technique style. Awesome job nelly! Keep up the good work! Edited October 30, 2011 by kola
strawboy Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Hmmmm... Nice entries everyone. *sigh* This is so hard. Ok so my vote goes to... [5] Poringly Creativity - 5 Technical - 3 Execution - 4 Aesthetic - 3 Total points - 15 I think this has been the cutest signature that I have seen. But, yes I can say that Nelly's work was unique. I've been thinking for days to whom I should vote. I can say that Poringly's work outweighed a little :>
Haruka Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Final Fantasy!! :D I vote for [6]ihfyoosiv Creativity - 5 Technical - 3 Execution- 4 Aesthetic- 5 Total = 17 I really like how it all blends together like that, especially in the middle with the sword! Also to me it really stood out, like instantly caught my eye. Nice one!! :D By the way they're cosplayers right?! Amazing!!
Aerynth Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I'm in between Icon and Ihfyoosiv, but in terms of which catches my eyes more.. I'd have to say I'd place my vote on.. [6]ihfyoosiv Creativity - 5 Technical - 4 Execution- 4 Aesthetic- 5 Total = 18 I really your signature, its really appealing. I didn't realize you used cosplayers in your signature, damn they're good. I like how the colors in your signature blends in harmony. I noticed you have inserted a few layers to your signature and somehow it doesn't seem like its over done. The execution is clean and neat, tho somehow the fonts you used doesn't seem to be the perfect fit. That's the only flaw, other than that Good job! Idea for next SOTW theme, Holloween! xD Edited October 31, 2011 by Aerynth
sookyay Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I lo lo lo love final fantasy! :DDDDD! It's sad to see that there's no entries for FF9, :3 vivi! <3 [6] ihfyoosiv Creativity - 5 Technical - 3 Execution - 4 Aesthetic - 5 Total points - 17 The fact that ihfyoosiv uses cosplayers instead of in-game character just won my heart entirely. :3. I'm a cosplayer myself and i love the fact that this artist actually take the initiative to look through the world wide web to find for those two pictures! It seem like both the characters come out alive, :DDD! naise! The colours chosen was spot on, and like Aerynth mentioned, the font used in this signature weren't a good pick though. And another flaw i spotted was that both the cosplayers photo wasn't well blended as I could see a line in the middle. (i'm not sure if it's intentional though) But overall, good job (: looking forward to more signatures.

Seraphine Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Posted November 3, 2011 @nines You need more specific reasons in your sentences or your vote will not be counted. Must include 2-3 sentences discussing the over-all reason why you're casting a vote for the signature. Try to think in terms of the categories above, but you're free to discuss other elements as well. (Note: you only have to do this once.) @Haruka You need more reasons to have a valid vote.
