Thank you for voting. And thanks to those who submitted sigs.

#4 GMV.

The text isn't as best as it could be, but the blending of the renders is amazing, I love the soft brushing along with the render placement.

Even though I hate that maple leaf brush there... it's really a negative part of the sig. Out of all of them, it has the best coloration, very soft and easy to the eye... not too crowded, and it has the best-integrated typography out of all of them.

Primary problems for the rest are:
1. too monotonous. oversmudged edges.
2. too much goin on. good grasp of PS techniques but a sig that small.. should have less stuff in it.
3. oversaturation killed the sig.... (composition is nice though)

#4 GMV

#1: Text/Placement is really needs work, the outer glow really takes away from it, making the focal awkward. The piece itself needs to have a clearer focal, I'd try sharpening your render in some spots to give a sense of depth.

#2: My second choice; however its coloring threw me off, the render is white and yellow, and the general color is redish orang, not a big problem, a gradient map would fix that quickley. The text also needs work.

#3: This one was just really oversaturated, the effects could use some variation as well.

#4: Pretty nice, unique comp. (though the left is really empty). Text could be better and the leaf looks really bad, mostly because it's smushed and blurry. I like the overall layout of the sig, and color work.

It's well put together. It's very sharp and crisp I like the lighting effects done also, it's bright but not too bright.

Voting for this weeks SOTW ends tonight at 11PM.
