♠ Fate ♠ - 3 Points : Don't know what happened to your original entry :confused: ... but I like this also. Perfect sig size, clean and simple.

hemagoku - 2 Points : Good stock, and great colours.

Kiro - 1 Point : Would have been better if the 'wording' is not bang up right at the left. Great stock though.

[Tsubasa]

♠ Fate ♠ - 3 points / I like how clean and abstract your signature is. The pink really contrasts with the black, lending to an aesthetically pleasing viewing experience.

hemagoku - 2 points/ The colors and image are very nice, but the text seems a bit small. Other than that, it's a very pretty sig.

Kiro - 1 point/ I like how the colors match with the image, it gives the peice an over all blue theme that is very easy on the eyes. Unfortunately, I don't like the font or placement of the text, but other than that, your sig is pretty cool.

Fate - 3
Lovely sig. Nice size, centered, beautiful colour contrast, simple and eye-catching.

Kiro - 2
Nice stock, good colours used and effective background effects.

hemagoku - 1
Nice stock. Perhaps use less blurring around the stock? Good colours used. I’d contrast the stock with the white cloud instead, as the red cloud kind of blends into his shirt. :) Then again, this may be exactly the effect you wished the sig to have.

Fate - 3 - Very pretty. I love the colours and how they match. I do think there is something missing from it but maybe that's because of the simplicity of it. I love where you have placed the text and the font really suits.

hemagoku - 2 - Nice stock and the colours match. I think it could do with a tad more blending around it and using the space more efficiently. The stock and the text could do far more for that than meets the eye. I think the font doesn't suit that well either. Love the cloud sort of effect.

Kiro - 1 - Not a bad attempt i can see what you are going for and it is coming along well. Blending needs to be done a lot more. The colours so match as well with the image. I think the fonts a little typical and needs to suit more to the image. Not sure the text is placed very well and the strange double border is a little confusing.

[Dizzy]

Fate - 3: It looks amazing, but clean and simple, like others have said. Only problem I have with it is that it isn't spring yet D:

Kiro - 2: The colors match well, and the ice effect is nice.

Hemagoku - 1: Mine is a joke entry, so I'll just give this to you by default XD Still, it's pretty well done, though it could be more eye-catching.

@rei_ai: Please don't vote for me, it was a joke and I don't want to take points away from anyone who actually tried ^^;

[rei_ai]

Fate - 3 - Love the color combination and contrast.

Kiro - 2

Dizzy - 1

Fate, 3 pts: I love the colors and how the background just--- brings it out more you know? And, as one said before me, the only problem I have with it is that it is not spring yet-- but still a great image overall!

Hemagoku, 2 pts: PROTOMAN! :love *Cough* Not the real reason of why it gets 2 points. But, the reason is because of the colors match and the clouds are rather nice... HOWEVER, the text is too small and hard to read... I can see that you made it red to match Protoman's color 'signature', but it seems to make it hard to read--- to me anyway. :)

Kiro, 1 pt: As others said before me, the text is put in the wrong area. And, I personally think that ice background doesn't go with it as well... I'm not sure what color would be best, but something else to bring Sasuke out more--- at least, his actions or something... Although, the colors of the ice blending with the black is a little nice, but doesn't match to Sasuke.... Maybe personality wise though... :p

Hema: 3
Nice use of color, although the stock placement and contrast don't really work in favor of your stock. Could use a focal point.

Fate: 2
Minimalism is nice, but general artistic principles should still apply. i.e. direction, focus, etc. Colors especially nice though.

Kiro: 1
Only cuz Dizzy didn't deserve the point. Text is distracting, stock could be higher contrast. Interesting placement of the stock with the darker side of the stock. Think if the text wasn't there, that'd be more effective, and if it were higher contrast.

[spacecat]

Hema 3 points - you have improved buddy, it all fits well together

Fate 2 points - just looks nice in general

Kiro 1 points - I don't really like the text but apart from that great work..

Diz- didn't vote for you since you said it was a joke but i love it <3

[♠ Fate ♠]

Voting time is up. <3

♠ Fate ♠ = 25
hemagoku = 16
Kiro = 12
Dizzy = 1

Note: I wouldn't say that "Dizzy didn't deserve points", because it was an entry, and the theme was Freestyle, so it was open to anything.

[Dizzy]

Well it was a joke entry that I spent about half a minute throwing together on MS Paint, and that I just entered to creep people out, plus it was an awful eyesore >>
Like I said in my previous post, I'd really rather not have taken votes from anyone who actually tried :p

I miss yooou, Fate-chaaan :<

[hemagoku]

cool i am in second
