Judge's rullings:
Mystik:
Ok joey's, his in my opinion was best. He focused on the sprite which in sprite sigs you have to focus most of your effects around the sprite which he did a good job at. he used to colors to compliment the sprite and you can still see the sprite. He used nice effects and actually made the sprite look like it was dancing in paint as it splashed around. Text was good and he kept it close to the sprite like it should be. Flow was really good and the way he kept his effects and text it made you focus on the sprite. His flaw is, i think he could of maybe done a little more to the background and the stock he used but all in all it still came out well.
Ok rawr, the right side of that sig blows it. What ever they dont to the right they shouldnt have, it throws it off big time. I like the effects that he/she put on the left hand side but they should have put those effects around the sprite, not so far to the left away from the sprite. I dont even see many effects around the sprite and in a sprite sig your supposed to concentrate what you do around the sprite. Text is to far away and that should of been brought closer to the sprite as well. There is so much going on in that sprite sig that you can even concentrate just on the sprite. Good thing about it was choice of colors and a cool border, thats about it.
ok thats my opinion but joey gets my vote
Nel:
What i dont like about Rawr-x's sig is the scan lines. Seems like thats her thing, I see it in most of her sigs. I just dont think they look good on the sig, they seem out of place. Also the clipping mask on the left, i dont think looks good. and like you said the right side does kill the sig. The colors too dont really match the character and thats what i like about Joeys. Well i liked that thing rawr-x did around the character, i dont know what its called, looks like a bubble, also the borders, and the txt just not where she placed it.
About Joeys, i like the colors. the txt., the light source, i dont really like the bg. that its kinda blurry. On the left side, i dont like how some of the the blue looks like a square. If he could have blended that it would have looked good on that side.
not playing favorites but Joeys is the best out of the two.
Kushina:
To be perfectly honest I hate these kinda sigs. And to be even more honest I don't like either. While joey's is a bit more creative, Both stay true to the colors. I don't like the bg on joeys for the simple fact it's blurry and tends to distract you from the main focal point. The text is actually alright. He could have done better if he had blended his foreground and bg together. It basically looks like he threw the stock on and made a few brushes then put a gradient over them.
As for Rawr's, where to begin. The scan lines, I like the idea, not so much the color of them though, they distract from the stock. I honestly have no clue as to what he/she was trying to do with the background there, though it blends better than jo jo's did. I do like the border this person used tho.The text should have been closer in towards the stock but it doesn't neccassarily take away from the overall compsition. Lighting on both are kinda meh as well as shading.
All in all My vote Goes to Rawr. Smoother and more blended not so much as an eye sore.
By vote of the judges Itza wins Against Rawr-x with a vote of 2-1.
Congrats both of you for even trying this and congrats to Itza for the Victory.
