Okay. Toned down the sparkles a little, and so v5:

Spoiler for v4 for comparison:

PreSage · 2011-03-07, 17:47

@Illusore: I prefer v4. I actually like all the sparkles, gives a more ethereal feel.

But that could just be me. <_<;

CMSensei · 2011-03-08, 21:06

First entry, I tried my best to fit the theme, I was gonna do a border later and maybe some text.

C&C are welcome.

LKK · 2011-03-08, 21:57

@CMHerrera: You might add something to emphasize that she's singing. Perhaps wrap some musical notes starting near her mouth and spiraling outward like they were sparklies.

ganbaru · 2011-03-08, 22:19

@ Illusore, I prefer your latest version
@ CMHerrera, I have to agree with LKK about enphatizing the singing, given what it was said abot singing on theme's description.

Just see this thread hours ago (since I just joined Animesuki

) and decided to take part (I can right? ), here are my entry:

Title: Forest Symphony

V1

V2

C & C please... and which one should I go with?

Rennir · 2011-03-10, 11:37

I think there's too much yellow in the sig. Also the lighting is very confusing. You generally only want to have one source of light. So try burning and doding some areas in the bg and on the render. Also the wavy lines behind the text is distracting so I would get rid of those.

CMSensei · 2011-03-10, 19:32

Okay's I made some changes..

Final Entry

still a little bright, maybe put a cooling photo filter on soft light over it? Also perhaps do some burning and sponging to make areas darker, and some around the light source and then make the light source more clear...does that make sense? and yes a border would be good

Haladflire65 · 2011-03-11, 01:23

My second try:

Spoiler for ver. 1 for comparison:

Thanks for your reply, actually I didn't get on why I should use cooling photo filter (which will make the color look paler IMO

)
and yes, I put shadow here and there to accentuate the (now) single light source

here are the fourth version
v4

as there are still many days left till deadline, I'm still open for constructive criticism and suggestions

especially since I'm not satisfied with the border

Wayyyy better

as for the border maybe just a black/dark brown one on top and bottom only, 1-2px?

White Fatalis · 2011-03-12, 19:05

Does this count?

ganbaru · 2011-03-12, 23:32

@ White Fatalis; you should show a bit more the headphones and I can't say if a starry sky count as nature, maybe not .

White Fatalis · 2011-03-14, 10:56

Are any size acceptable, for example you can enter a signature that exeeds the Signature Rule for 400x120px, but cannot place it in your signature?

Dist · 2011-03-14, 11:02

The signature rule is 500x160px, not 400x120. And no, you can not create a signature bigger than 500x160 or 50KB in size.

White Fatalis · 2011-03-14, 11:26

Ah, ok.

Then it should be set out like this:

SOTW [Entries]
----------------------------------------------
Theme:
----------------------------------------------
Max size: 500 x 160
----------------------------------------------
SOTM Rules
----------------------------------------------
1) You are only allowed to enter 1 sig (make it count because once entered you
cannot edit your sig so make sure you do that before hand.)
2) Judging is done in a list, this is a democracy (CANNOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF!)
3) Ripping will be disqualified
4) No Flaming
5) No paying people for votes
IF PAYING FOR VOTES (OR GIVING SOMEONE ANY SORT OF BRIBE)
IS FOUND OUT YOU WILL BE BANNED BOTH THE PAYEE AND RECEIVER
6) Remember, this is mostly for fun and the leaderboard, so HAVE FUN!

ganbaru · 2011-03-14, 11:43

Actualy, animation is allowed
5) Some do give cookies to thoses than voted for them. It seem than peoples belive than it wouldn't influence the result...
7) Using old signature is allowed. Signature don't have to be made only for the SOTM ( many use them as regular signatures. )
