#1 is just beautiful, whoever did that gets major props from me. color, lighting, flow everything is good. text isnt really up to the same standard as the rest of the signature, but theres so much awesome in that one that it doesnt matter =P

1st = #12 amazingly simple, clear focal and having the shyguy with a machinegun...just makes it completely ironic. text fit well with overall colors of sig (black and white)
2nd = #3 great use of text, didn't notice it until i looked closer, blended with the ghosts. nice background to make them feel like they are coming towards you or like they just broke a bigass building
3rd = #11 great color work, text seems to work for me, but i am not a great text adviser

1st: #7 Awesome fantasy look.
2nd: #9 I disliked the lack of color, but it still looks pretty good.
3rd: #11 I love the swirl :D

1-#9 As soon as i saw it i felt the dark concept corrupting samus, just like metroid fusion, the depth and illumination is awesome, the font is good too and the black and white colors really gave it a cinematic touch, really good sig.

2-#8 Effects are good, they have a nice flow, colors are quite ok they are harmonic, the font should have used some more work.

3-#5 Not much to say, sig is pleasing to the eye.


@rage: i missed the deadline fffffuuu :/ !!

#9 Love the B&W
#5 Nice glowing
#3 So cute ghosts^^

[Liights]

1st#11 It was a tossup between 9 and 11 for #1, but I personally prefer the colors in 11
2nd#9 Not a huge fan of B+W but well done nonetheless.
3rd#3 Awesome depth and a neat idea. Executed well with good text.

The characters name is Link, not Zelda.

[Avunaos]

yea but by reading zelda you know what's the sig about... it doesnt say pokemon with a link image...

The characters name is Link, not Zelda.

This post is the last discussion post.

Kwuartz is right, but it's too late to disqualify signatures as people have voted already. I'll work something out for next week.

2) 10. Reminded me of Puppet Master with the green string thingies.

3) 1. Colors are phenomenal.
