ENTRY RATINGS

___

Charlie: 1st place, public favourite



Inhaps:
Great depth, although, her hand seems to be too blurred. The object in her hand is of a rather unappealing combination of swamp-ish green surrounded by golden/yellow. Text is nice, but slightly difficult to read near the end. I might add that the girl is a tad too bright.

Broeder:
Nice entry. great flow, good depth and lightning, the text is also very well done. I would have wanted to see a different more visible border which I think would have been great for this tag. Also just 1 little thing, her arm and whatever she is holding is too blurred. Its not as far away as the BG yet is blurred just as much.

Akua:
I like the flames from behind her but the whole signature lacks a focal point and sharpness, the text is barely readable and NEVER stroke your work like that, it breaks up the signature completely veing overlaid by other layers etc…( is it? i can't really tell here)


Jiggie: 2nd place



Inhaps:
A really great choice of render; I like the contrast between it and the background; it's just perfect. The signature is nice and clean, but I feel like something is not right; perhaps the skirt shouldn't be so bright.

Broeder:
I just love the Background. Very cool graphics, maybe you could make a tutorial on how you made this sig?
The render though, needs a little bit of blending at the bottom i think. And the text looks odd like you did 2 bold and 2 normal letters?

Akua:
The effects look great it seems as though she's really into it with those rainbow waves behind her. but the rainbow effects i imagine are a render and it lacks blending on the left side. Also the typography could have made it in there better!
great lighting on the girl.


Square: 3rd place



Inhaps:
It's quite a trippy one. The only thing I'll comment on is that there seems to be no order with the blurriness/sharpness which makes it less appealing than it could be.

Broeder:
What i dislike about this tag the most is how some parts are very sharp and some are the complete opposite without
real balance. This might be harsh, but the top left part is what i like most about this tag Love the render though

Akua:
Overall its a great signature, the render is blended with the background, as is the typography and the lighting on the right. It lacks a bit of sharpness and the lighting could have been a bit more surreal.

Inhaps:
It's confusing. Firstly, the font is not appropriate in this case. Secondly, there is no depth in the image; mainly the girl on the right being seemingly on top of everything, while she should appear further away.

Broeder:
Ehm, let me just say it has some ok elements, and some horrible ones but in the end its just not professional enough
Few things you can look at: Text doesnt fit, halfvisible render?, the lines are counterflow, the border is distracting

Inhaps:
Bad composition. Neither the text, nor the background fit here, but it has potential to be a great signature with a fancy cinematic effect.

Broeder:
Love the border...But yeah just a combination of like 4 seperate elements without you having tried to blend them in with eachother.
You could have done cool things with that render though.

Inhaps:
The bright spot is far too bright; there is no balance. Comparing the rightmost and leftmost sides of the image, the left is much more sophisticated and fancy, while the right side is just looks bland and lacking white balance. Text's a little weird; it's a little blurred in places.

Broeder:
Ehm, the bright spot is just too bright. Its hurting my eyes yet taking up all attention. Maybe you can redo thing sig and try to do it in a different way?

Akua:
nice blending and lighting usage. it looks as if (Goku??) is getting ready to launch something epic.The typography kinda ruins the signature.
