------------------------

Let the games begin.

P.S. I really liked the activity for this week.

It's really hard to decide between the top two.
3 points - Shepherd
The monotone and a tiny bit of colour combination works really well, and the render blends in well too.
2 points - Fatalysm
The smudging is really well used and a good choice of render to go with the background.
1 point - Ramon
It's really eye-catching and the colours are unique, and contrast well with the fierce expression on the render.

3 Points: A D A M

I guess I just like it, it isn't that outstanding in difficulty or anything but I just like it. It just shows that it doesn't have to be complicated to look nice or to appeal. Depending on the result you were aiming for you might have messed up on depth slightly though.

2 Points: Shepherd.

Really nice result and it stood out to me. A bit monotone in colours but it fits the render which you used. I generally dislike the whole 'city background' thing that has been so popular lately however it fit the theme nicely this time. One minor point is that I really have trouble finding a point to focus on.

1 Point: Ahmad.

Bit of dead space on the upper left corner. Nice blending in of the render however the white might be a bit too bright, then again it brings out more focus on the render this way. Text isn't that great though, I have trouble reading it.

You are supposed to give reason, or else your votes don't really count

rules dont say i have to give reasons

They do in the official rules (the sticky), Ahmad just kinda failed. xD

+1

You should seriously read the stickies in each forum before posting. That's how I avoided any warns

well, this particular competition's rules say u must vote 3 and the sticky says u may vote 3, therefore why do i need reasons if its not stated in these rules

if u really need reasons u can just null my vote then

Can you stop being so ignorant and just give a reason please?

To be quite blunt

3 points: Ramon - I really love the mix of colors you used and the render is pretty cool too.
2 points: Sheperd - Good signature overall, i especially like the bg and the render, and the text isn't bad.
1 point: A D A M - It's a simple signature, but I still like it a lot except the "A" in the corner that looks kinda weird imo.

ive never seen the point of giving reasons but w/e...guess ill just conform

burningsun01 cool smudge/neg space
Nrivan33b Dhru cool effects/flow
shepherd cool effects/text

if u had a poll instead there would most likely be way more votes

Yeah Sanji, I agree, I'd much rather have a poll than the point system because a poll does determine first, second, and third place as well. Also, I didn't even know about the giving reasons/explanations rule either.

It was put in effect because otherwise you can just have friends post and give you points. Besides, a lot of artists prefer to have CC on their works. Also sometimes it would be possible to have somebody who knows nothing about Gfx post and give points. This system prevents all this.

If you have time to make a signature then giving a little comment on other their works won't be too much hassle now?

Zactly. You could just have a bunch of people come here and vote, while their votes are almost random, because they had known almost nothing about how it was created, what lengths they went through to make it, etc.

if you want cc then why not just ask in rate my work section?

any kind of voting could be considered "random" whether it be by poll or not. all you need to say is "nice effects, good flow, nice colors etc." to cast your vote. a poll would make it more of a competition on the final outcome rather than how it was made.

i just think a poll would get more votes, the voting activity here is really weak considering how many participants there are

+3: Blueness

What can I say, I guess it looks cool, and you've definitely put a lot of blue's in.

+2: Fatalysm

Looks a ninja, maybe a orc (except for the skin) but you've done putting a lot of efforts in it.

+1: Sanji

Well, you've put some random render in it, it doesn't look it goes along with the man. Still looks quite good, though.

3 points- Dabmaster. I really like the blending and the colors/render.

2 points- Shepherd. Looks very nice, and the blending is excellent.

1 point- Ahmad. I love the light effect

Fatalysm only has 4 points? =o
People here have a weird sense of artistic talent. =o

3 points- Fatalysm. Great flow and colors. Clipping masks look nice. =D
2 points- Sanji. Not really liking the colors, but the concept is good.
1 point- Shepherd. Text is great, and the effects are decent. Render looks sorta out of place, though.

I think I'm going to extend the voting until the end of Sunday, currently there aren't enough votes.
