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

EDIT: added a last minute entry

Not really anyone to offer constructive criticism, just thought I'd kick off the voting with a full judgement of each, from my point of view. Briefly:

1) Shiny. Looks too spacious. A little more action towards the left would've been nice.

2) Has like a grainy feel to it, really pixely. The line between each hand could have worked out if done correctly. But now it just looks like a line. Borders aren't very even.

3) GMV. I love the color scheme and use of splatter brushes? on the left, the lines in the background and the font all seem to work good together.

4) Did a good job matching Link to the background, but that's about it. Could've used a little more creativity.

5) Render doesn't seem to match the background and font. Desaturated feel isn't very appealing.

6) Too much going on. Needs better blending, everything seems kinda separated, like you can see the layers.


Vote goes to number 3.

#6 GMV

It looks the most professional out of them all, but I'm not too set about the C4D's showing and how the colors are in weird spots, like his cloak on the right side....I like the green coloring though.


For the others:

1) It's too big, cut it down so that Haseo's upper half is showing, good colors, but oversaturated.

2) I'm not big with sigs jutting off the top, color coordination needs work, along with the text.

3) Boring color scheme, and it's very flat. ._.

4) It's pixelated, and besides there being text added, the background was just slapped in the back, I suppose good blending.

5) My second favorite. Nothing about it pops and screams pick me, if it was in color it would have been nice, good depth for a black and white sig though. o:

Sorry if I was too critical. ._.

hmmm... #1 gets my vote :]

I kinde like the base idea of it :] It looks like the char is gattering the energy for the final blow or something :]
Some spots doe could be less red / shiny ,but that's a minor thing :]

The left part only bugs me ,because it's missing some action :/
A bit of that yellow flow near his legs should do the trick to show that the char is really bracing up :]

Good job IMO :]

I vote for number 4.
Its has great blending and a nice attempt at lighting(reffering to the blue on link's face being on the same side as navi. The only think I really don't like about it is that it needs more, and the text just isn't working.

I'll be going with #3.

I love the simple design, the colors fit well with the Render and, although the typography could use a little work, it gives an overall 'complete' look about it.

With a total of 2 out of a counted 5 (wtf?) votes, Mistic-Gohan is the winner of SOTW 58.
CONGRATS!
