oh and comparing the three, which of these is best?

This one is waaaay better than the other two. Great DMC sig. Did you make all the effects yourself, including that clash light? If so, great job.

[ayu-smepai]

My first draft. C&C will appreciated.

[ganbaru]

Evil Rick to see the weapon would be a good idea
SweetHoney biggest problem; the text, otherwise it's a mather of details.
Fraility the 3th one is the best .
Ayu-smepai maybe a bit too fused with the background

You can try Safebooru.com using the tag "fight"

Actualy, I am not even sire than the second it the theme ( I am still waiting the answer from Endrance ...). But in fact my first idea was to use a render of 2 fighters, I did find somes than could be interstings... but they are all blade weapon fight which will be probably like the majority of entries ( the closeness of the fighter would fit better the limitation of size ).

[Soul-Stealer]

hmmm awesome entries X_X well anyways i will post my final tomorrow :P as i dont like to do too much changes in ma sign i just do it and there it is :P final i will post tomorrow !

[Godlike1889]

I'll be posting one too ...(when I get the time )

[Frailty]

@Larthak&Evil Rick
yeah thought so too, but I'm feeling emptiness from the sig
any suggestions? :]

regarding the effects, there were some effects on the stock but it was rather plain, so I enhanced it to appear glowy and added more :]

[Soul-Stealer]

anyways people sorry but i am submitting my final because i have lots of studies so did this fast X_X anyways here it is

[.Envy]

still I would like C&C's :]

This one looks rather dark and confussing, it's really hard to see what's going on.

EDIT:
I saw a sig in my stash of sigs which I made


too bad I don't have the psd for this file anymore but is this better than my draft?

The sig looks rather bright and I don't think it really feets the theme, 'cause they're standing one next to other and not really fighting.

EDIT(again):

C&C

oh and comparing the three, which of these is best?

advanced thanks to the ones answering
for 2 months I haven't joined, now is my time to get back XD

I like this one most, the efects are great but just a bit saturated, try to make the characters shoulders be a bit more clear.

Too much smudge efect at the characters, try to make them more visible and clear to the viewer's eyes.

Final Entry

I know you submitted it as your final entry alredy, but the efects you used to fill the empty spce makes the render to be lost on it, the text style and placement is not good either and the sig still gives the feeling of emptyness at the left side.

On a random note, I know it has no relation at all with the sig but I found it funny that you're making a sig of God of War and you're using a quite of God of War's upcoming "rival" game, Dante's Inferno. ("Go to Hell" is the slogan of Dante's Inferno) just think on the irony.

[Risa chan]

Bleeeeeehhhh D8
I'm stuck with my sig.




C&C appreciate

[Frailty]

@Evil Rick
yah you're right, it's a bit saturated so v2!

increased contrast, added few gradient maps and text
C&C again :]

filesize limit cuts the quality alot @.@

[Soul-Stealer]

hmmm@ evil rick i will try to do some work then xD if i get time

[ganbaru]

@ .Envy a interesting idea but the scene is not easily recongnisable
@ Risa Chan the 3th is the best. maybe make her face a little less fractured.
@Fraility the v2 is looking better but why so bright where their heads are touching.

As I now received the confirmation by Endrance than my sig fit the theme, I can now to make it better. C&C would be welcome
V2

Spoiler for previous version:

[Endrance]

Though it fits the theme i do agree that the renders look pasted side by side....

[Frailty]

@ganbaru
well in the original stock, it had a semi clash light on their heads
so I thought it would be better if I enhanced it

C&C appreciate

The 3 versions look rather confusing and not very clear of what's going on at the eyes of the viewer.

Looks really, really good, If you want to keep quality, I sugest you to reduce the size of your sig, I always make my sigs in a size of 400x120, the sigs are not too small and either too big and the quality is good, even under AS limits.

V2

Spoiler for previous version:

It still look like 2 renders pasted one next to other, even when it feets the theme, it's not so atractive and look unrealistick for a fight.

[AtomicoX]

Problems noticed: Text reflection (or the whole text + lines) might be redundant. High contrast. Hard to see what's going on.


@ganbaru: I have to agree with E_R. I know that stock and it's really hard to bring them together to signify the meaning of the theme. It also lacks depth and the text can be worked on.

[Drake]

Some nice entrys so far for in my opinion quite a challanging theme this month.

Anyway I attempted, failed miserably then gave up on my entry.

Highly doubt i'll get time to finish it so it'll probably not get a final entry =[

Edit: Might aswell show what I had so far...
