Original stock picture looks like this btw. For comparison on what the artists did.

*see attached*

[Maide]

I like:

#1: 5
#2: 8
#3: 13

[Warchamp7]

#8 - Very creative, I really like the colors on it
#7 - Interesting style. I like how well it mixes with the background
#14

[ShadowExile]

I can't vote ;/ A lot of them have been done very strangely and I can't honestly compare which is better than another one. Some of them are good, but have bad contrast and brightness settings, and overly dulled. Some of them the sample space is too large, colour choice is weird on some, Forsaken Archer seems to be camouflaging inside #12, etc.

So I am just going to be going on what has the best flow and techniques I guess.

1st - #9
2nd - #4
3rd - #10

[Takkei]

1st - 7
2nd - 9
3rd - 4

:)

[Desirable]

*ahem* I thought it was obvious but guys.. DON'T VOTE FOR YOURSELF!
Your vote will be nullified if so.

You know who I'm talking about. >.>

[Doggan]

1st: #2
2nd: #13
3rd: #12

#2 definitely gets my vote. Silhouette > photoshop filters.

[Sketch88]

1st = #3 simple looking and clean. (it may actually have lots of layers, just blends well)
2nd = #7 blends well with the background
3rd = #8 interesting color choice, im colorblind, but i can tell it's interesting

[Kros]

#1: 5
#2: 7
#3: 8

Honestly can't say why I like them, 'cause I have no real idea. I just do. =p

[QualQuek]

1st: #8
2nd: #7
3rd: #4

[Kwaurtz]

1st - #7
2nd- #3
3rd - #5

[RenoFox]

1st: #1
2nd: #13
3rd: #5

I just like the looks of them =3

[Sheapy1]

1st. #7 Hands down, love the background
2nd. #5
3rd. #8

I fell asleep and missed the deadline ;__;

But my votes

1st: #1
2nd: #5
3rd: #14

[documents]

1. #7
2. #8

[Medio]

1st - #7
2nd- #3
3rd - #5

#7 - Good lighting, good use of a background that mixes well with render, good flow.
It just needs some contrasting imo.

[Vinthian]

8
11
2

'in order.

[Destro]

I really only like number six and four.

#1: 6
#2: 4
#3: N/A

Six has cool symbols and unusual color make this one good. Four has the green color, effects, and features that I really like.

[Evil_Andrex]

1. #5
2. #7
3. #13

I like pretty colors. Blending colors into the image really catches my eye when done well

[tordana]

1. #7
2. #8
3. #9

In that order. :P

#7 is the clear winner, awesome technique and flow to it. 8 and 9 are pretty decent as well. Honestly, the rest are pretty terrible, nothing to them except smudging for the most part. #1 could be copied straight from a tutorial, #10 has literally had nothing done to it except text and very light smudging. Just as examples. 11 is decent but lacks flow.

[Desirable]

Keep up the votes people!
I will reveal who did which sig at the end of the voting period.

[Viole]

#8 because it is not barf green

Just reveal the winner, 2nd and 3rd.

[Bulb]

1. #8
2. #10
3. #7

#8 gets my best vote cause it has a clear focus.

[Desirable]

Just reveal the winner, 2nd and 3rd.
No. Those that took part deserve to be mentioned. Don't they deserve the credit for that? ;)

Late entry, #14. Forgot to add it in at the start. >.<
Revise your votes if necessary.

[InsaneOdin]

1. #8
2. #7
3.

[Minimized]

1. #13
2. #7

Love the effects on #13.

[sputim]

1. #2 (You can take that vote three times :) )
2. N/A
3. N/A

Too much filters and no artistic ideas. So my only vote goes to #2.

[Apostate]

To be honest I'm not overly impressed with this batch. Question: Does a 1# vote count more than a #3?

I give my vote to 8, which to me is the only one that shows real flow and consistency. The subtlety of the signature is lovely- props. No 2nd or 3rd.

[Desirable]

Yes.

1st - 3 points
2nd - 2 points
3rd - 1 point

You need not vote for all three if you only like one.

[jusatin`]

1. #7
2. #9
3. #8

#7 is nice piece of art, and the lightning and flow go well and it has nice depth, only thing is the lack of text there :)

[Jager]

1. #7 - background suits her, 'cleaner' then others(some are over done with the blur).
2. #6 - grain isn't so overdone, looks nicer. Nice overlay design.
6. #8 - nice and bright, its very 'clean'. Doesn't really suit her theme though.

[Tafelpoot]

1. #13
2. #2
3. #1

[Rush152]

1st: 8
2nd: 13
3rd: 7

[Avunaos]

1- #13
2- #1
3- #5

[rthSca]

1. #13
2. #14
3. #4

A close tie between 13 and 14, but 14 has a better general feel to it in my eyes. Better composition, and more appealing effects.

[Arnald1]

[Zellgadis]

[SupFreshG]

1 - #13 - By far the best one. It really seems to have done more than the others.
2 - #14
3 - #7

[Anvard]

1 - #6
2 - #12
3 - #13

[BombsO]

1st: #6

PS: the font on #7 is just not right

[huY]

1. #8 - Great colors.
2. #2 - Simple yet awesome.
3. #4 - I like the "glows".

[dewatempur]

14

in that order.

[Raptus]

1- #13

[Kwaurtz]

Close it and tally the votes?

[Desirable]

Deadline. It hasn't reached yet.

[Kwaurtz]

Oh, I thought it was only going for 24 hours, my baddd mang.

[William]

1. #8
2. #7
3. #5

8 stood out with it's color scheme, and while the font generally wouldn't fit a fantasy setting, it did with the fresh colors. Sharp and smooth - AT THE SAME TIME. Yeah baby.

[Fannypack]

1. #7
2. #2
3. #13

[Yugamic]

1st: #8 - Definitely stands out the most to me, although I'm not a fan of a center composition.
2nd: #4 - Great spell effects and very vibrant.
3rd: #3 - Has a very clean feeling and good colors.

Pretty much looked at originality, composition and overall appearance.There were a lot of good entries, but some of them don't seem to flow very well or it felt like their image placement could've been better. It's all subjective anyway. :)

[ImShadz]

1. #7
2. N/A
3. N/A

The rest either looks unnatural or over contrasted. :/
The effects on #7 have just the right amount of "pop" to bring the sig out.

Just my opinion.

If you had read one of desi's earlier posts, you have to vote for all three or your vote is nulled.

[Desirable]

You need not vote for all three if you only like one.
It's ok, Kwartz.
If they can't pick a 2nd or 3rd one their votes still count.

They just need to specify whether that single vote ranks 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Some people might not be adamant on awarding 3 points with just one vote.

We might change the voting system if we find a better model.

Voting is over.
