Sucks to see only 3 entries this week. My excuse is that I was very busy at work this whole week.

#3 - Awesome effects, looks very polished, good depth and lighting.
#1 - Good text, good composition. Lighting is good but doesn't make sense in some places (white light coming from top right has no source)
#2 - Nice idea, but not executed very well. If the sig was smaller, with no so much blank space, this would be much better. Right now it's too plain. Text is also to simple and doesn't look good stuck in the corner.

#1 - Nice Idea, and nice lighting.
#2 - Something that people dont see too often.
#3 - Horrible entry, simple layer over layer effects.


Pretty Amazing, only 3 entries but as I've said before, the reason for that is, because people vote for the same effects, rather than voting for something different for a change. Losing makes people sad, and gives them no will to participate in any more sotws.

I lost 2 out of 2, i don't mind, i would have entered this week but I'm busy, i did get 20 minutes into the sig.

I guess i cant vote since voting would make it pretty obvious what sig is mine

I doubt that any of this is near 100% truth. I do not vote for the same style, I'm voting for what I consider to be the best signature. If the same person uses similar techniques in his next signauture and no one is able to compete against it, its perfectly fine with me.
I will not vote for someone else because he won SotW the last time.

That would also include that I would have skipped contesting in this section, but I don't as I really love to challenge some artists for the higher spots in the ranking. ( If you do not agree with this please PM me for making some kind of improvement to the contest - keeping this thread as clean as possible for voting)


BTT: I also agree it is said, but I did not take part this time either due to a hard time schedule and a very vague theme, imho. Let's see what's up next.
