SOTM 2011 - February (Couples!) - Entry Thread
!!!Welcome to the SOTM!!! ~Congratulations to hao-sama for winning the January Contest!~ The theme chosen for February is - Couples!. What is that? It's February, and Valentines is this month so....couples! About the SOTM: The Signature Of The Month contest is open to all members of the Animesuki Forums. The goal of the contest is to provide a fun and competitive way of showing off and improving the signatures and personal skills of contestants. The winner of each months contest is given the privilege of choosing the theme for the next month. About the SOTM Theme: Each month prospective contestants are given a theme to base their entries on. This theme is decided by the winner of the previous contest. The theme can be anything, as long as it does not break forum rules regarding inappropriate material. At the end of the month, voters choose which entries they liked best out of all submitted entries and a new winner is decided. Themes cannot be used twice in a row. The Rules of the SOTM:
About the SOTM Entry Process: Every month, a new entry thread is created. Each month's entry thread is a central spot meant to give contestants a chance to create and improve their entries as well as their skills, in addition to providing them a place to post their official submissions. The thread is solely about helping contestants with entries, and as such these things will not be tolerated:Anyone disrupting the thread will be asked to take it privately, to the SOTM Generic Discussion Thread, or if the offense is severe enough - reported to the moderators.1. Nonconstructive and negative criticism (if you truly dislike something about an entry, be polite and helpful) This Month's Entry Period:: This months entry period officially starts Monday, January 31st, 2011 and lasts until Friday, February 18th, 2011. Entries will be gathered and put up for voting on Sunday, February 20th, 2011. Voting will end on the following Sunday. The due date ends at 11:59 (midnight basically) UTC/GMT. The polling will be up one day later after 11:59 (again, midnight). I will try to be as lenient as I can with last minute submissions but only slightly. It is up to you as a contestant to know what your time zone is in relation to UTC/GMT. I cannot do this for you. Here is a site that can help you figure that out: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx Good luck to all contestants, and most importantly, have fun!!!

Thank you =w= And its because like if I use their heads in, the really pretty lower part won't show. I think it's more impactful? I think people who play FF might get it better iunno. O : and i dont wanna make the pic too small or too big. I want it just right to fit the text in~

@ Midnight Bliss I would go with V2. May I suggest either to show or hide both the full heads.
@ vandakiara it look nice but you could add some more effects. Quote:
C&C would be welcome.

Followed the whole heads thing advice. Not sure it's gonna be my final entry, so I might change it sometime or likeee make adjustments, but this is what I have for now. Intended to make the sparkles look like some glow or somethin' and make it as if its where the feathers come out from. /i have such an issue with trying to create a meaning or something behind my sigs

I like the overall effects, but the left side is a bit too bright. There isn't enough space for the darkness to balance it out. So I would lessen the brightness and burn some stuff on the right side.
