Nice sig, Firebat - it actually may be your best - but somehow the pixellated areas (like the face of the render) throw me off a little. It fits the theme perfectly but all in all it looks a little too blurry. No match for Lim's sleek and refined work - and it has a cool, underwatery feel - the brushing looking like coral - The subtlety of the "under water" themeas opposed to Firebat's rather direct approach is awesome. You know whatI mean - there's no actual picture of water or anything, but you still think it IS water (or rather UNDER water).[Lim 2 // Firebat 0]

Wow , two awesome sigs thats for sure.Lim GMV though , the feel is right I like how the background was done , with the blending of the render. Text isn't too bad. The colours may not seem really good but it really feels underwater.For FB , the text wasn't good , probably the thing which killed the sig. Still , it's better than what you usually do. I didn't like much of the render's body. The BG seems like you took it from somewhere. I can't feel anything special from the sig. It wouldn't be half bad if people mentioned who has how many votes in their posts. Just like in every other battle. Come on, it's not that hard - basic arithmetics <_< -mrcn-

Hate to say it, but that's one of your worst firebat, it almost brings you back to your newbie days. Something definitely kills it. I'm guessing the render, not only low in quality but also poorly blended, the coup de grace being the hard line that cuts her neck. Everything clashes together in that sig, from the sharpness of the water surface and bubbles, to the bluntness of the underwater scenery and the render, and the unexplainably embossed text. Even the resolution of the sig makes it look bad. Overall this piece suffers from a huge lack of imagination, I guess the theme didn't really inspire you.Lim, good. Classic style sig, but the theme was used well. The background's got a nice grungy feeling to it and some cool colors to highlight it, and the text flows with everything. Nothing special about the render but it's blended with just the right touch. Very nice piece overall - this is the kind of approach everyone should take on a given theme.Lim GMV.I'm special so I dont need to add the score to this post. <_< Yes, you are so special that you can have others do it for you. :D [[ Lim 4 // Firebat 0 ]] -mrcn-

while im very tempted to vote for firebat, like everyone else im gonna have to go with lim.i can see all the work FB put into making it underwater (deep sea) themed, things like the bubbles, rays of light, well chosen images and some extra colouring, but like teck said there are some parts which throw me off a little. the mermaids face has been coloured over in blue, the text looks a bit pixely and the bubbles are a little hard.with lims piece theres technically not a lot wrong with it, the theme is where it was let down (only slightly however). im a little dissapointed by your statement "i didnt know what to do so i just made the BG look deep sea ish" but hey, it worked, even tho its just some skank kitchen it does vaguely resemble something underwater. i love att the colour effects you've used on the stock as well, and the almost ripply looking part in the top right.sorry firebat, you nearly had me :Dthat 5-0 and the win to lim i beleive

enough for me :Ptough its a rape, Im glad to see you consider it to vote for it. :gay2:

The BG seems like you took it from somewhere. I can't feel anything special from the sig.

Nope I made that. Using filters to make the top of the water, and again filters for the rays of light.

LOL yeah amazing what you can do with some random photographs :rolleyes:
