Its a very interesting style. It almost reminds me of a sprite tag. I think you could have done a lot better on the effect not making them so bright. The border is unneeded. Overall not bad.

I like it, you managed to pull it off well however the shape of the signature is bad, maybe try to have less verticular (If that's even a word) length. Really love the typography in this piece.

Overall: 23/40
Explanation: The top is quite blank, so you could have probably made the piece a bit smaller (just by removing the top part when you crop it). The idea behind this is not bad at all, and you did an alright job executing it, but the text is a bit long and a bit too far up, I would recommend having it below the renders' arm instead of above, and probably would have opted for something like "Prof. Chaos" or something to shorten it. Not bad though! I like the choice in effects and it's colorful, strikes me as a sprite piece, like Josh said.

I like the piece, it has a dark feeling to it. Although the idea was Heroes vs Villains, not just villains so I can't let you have max points. As mentioned before I had a look at the explosion/yellow thing and it might be too bright, other than that it's a great piece. Something a person could definitely proud of.
SECOND PLACE: Valets - 45/160

Hope i'm not to harsh here. It doesn't look like that much time was taken making this. It literally just looks like 2 pictures murdered together, and then you added text. I wouldn't even really consider it a tag. Please take some time and look up tutorials. If you need advice we are always in our IRC channel.

Decent way to get both the hero and the villain in there, however it would have been much better just to have one character like the other two signatures.

Technical: 2/10
Typography: 2/10
Execution: 2/10
Overall: 9.5/10
Explanation: The idea of having both the villain and the superhero in the same piece is a good one, but not very well executed. I feel it would be good to look through some tutorials to familiarize yourself some more with the tools of the program you're using, maybe also join #design (the official graphic IRC channel) and we can give you some tips, too.

The theme is Heroes vs Villains, Joker and Batman fit like a glove, but I don't really get the idea behind your signature. It's a of Batman and Joker, they're rivals and .... I don't think you have put effort in this piece, just put something quick together and left it be.

I dislike two tone signatures. Theres a lot going on in this sig that i have no idea what it is. In a signature you almost wanna create an environment and a story for your render. On this i just see a render and a lot of crazy effect behind it. I advice you to take a look at some tutorials, and check out our IRC channel. Keep it up you'll get there.

You have one render which is an advantage however you really need to look up some tutorials, it is way too big and has a lot of blank unused space. The text is bland and lacks P-zazz. Sorry

- Idea: 3/10
Technical: 2/10
Typography: 2/10
Execution: 2/10
Overall: 9/10
Explanation: The background and the foreground (foreground being your render choice) don't really have any relation to them that I can see, and for this particular piece having it be two-toned is not a good idea, especially making your background the more brighter of the two. I feel it would be good to look through some tutorials to familiarize yourself some more with the tools of the program you're using, maybe also join #design (the official graphic IRC channel) and we can give you some tips, too.

I don't get the idea, the only thing that comes to mind when I see it is Kill Bill movie series, but I don't remember them being characters in that series, so the idea behind it seems unclear to me. It seems like two images have just been put together and it isn't really good. I know that you're a beginner so I am pretty happy/proud that you were brave enough to enter, watch tutorials, come to #design to ask for help. Create, Critique, Improve.

It's just a bit too large. Yours is 456x640 but it should be 350x500 at most. I've resized it for you.

I also suggest using Imgur or Photobucket to upload your images with no quality loss.

Quick question, is this limited to just superheroes (Superman, Batman, etc) and their villains (Joker, Doomsday, etc) or any hero and villain?

i thought Valets one was not too bad. I liked the concept but it was not technical enough. Like the fact that you split the sig in two and put vilains and heroes like it was a versus was good but the typography and the triangles did not make it for me, also it looked like you just pasted two pictures and wrote over it. You were almost there but sadly did not put the effort or did not have the expertise to push the idea.
I thought Mr Rockeyes one was okay, like if I had to grade it, I would say that the background is sick, the focal point is good, the effects are great but I would have loved if you put a vilain and a heroe in it like Valets did just to show a fight a conflict in the picture or something.
About feedpenguins sig, I would say that I have no idea what you tried to do, it looked to me that you were high as fuck and that you put things all together to participate in the competition. I am not saying its shit, because I am 10x worse then this but I am saying that you have to show a clear idea of what you want to show in your next try and improve your effects. Good luck
I should be studying and I am writting an essay about sigs, fucking jesus christ fucking shit

Don't worry, there are always things to improve.
My signature is also not perfect, all you need to do is watch some YouTube guides.
Those guides helped me out a ton.
Remember you will always have failing pieces but it's what makes your art better.
