That about does it.

GO!

Haha. Thanks Sauce.

I actually used that second one recently for a sig for a friend. But I'll use one of the others to keep it fair. Iron Man rocks by the way.

(Second time using this smilie as a response to you. )

Can the quote simply be "Iron Man"?? Or do we have to be more creative with it?

...thinking about using more than one of them too...though it might make it needlessly complicated. Ah well....*runs off to think of possible designs*

I'd rather it be something more than that.

Although I suppose it would do, always remember that creativity is a plus.

That's gonna be tough to topp.

He may be able to pull it off....

Maybe. Nice sig though Law.

I have a cool design in mind right now...just need to pull it off. I'll be doing most of it tonight.

Nice entry, Law.

Nice Comment, Sauce

So I lied. I said I wouldn't use the second render, but it was perfect for what I envisioned (it's an awesome render). I ended up using all 3...and some others as well. And I completely ignored the 500x200. Thanks sauce, but I stuck to what I know (450x150).

So here ya go boys. I'm happy with how it turned out. Only wish I coulda done this sort of work for the tourney.

This one comes in at 64.9KB...

That's sweet.

Sweeet entry DM

Thanks guys. And good duel Law, however it turns out. Your text is teh awesome, and the background is cooler than I can normally make mine. And sweet Iron Man sigs are cool regardless....so this was a fun duel.

Wow. 0.o tough match.

DigiMark, you still owe me a duel.

Yeah, you keep reminding me....I'm just scared of "tomboys"

Tis what my friend told me the other day. You don't want to get me mad, because it's scary (or so she says.)

I'm a total girly-girl yet am incredibly quick to anger

Beat you don't look like you're about to take someone out, though. She looked like I was ready to kill.

So yeah, back to our match...



Hopefully sauce gets in with the verdict sometime relatively soon. These waits are the worst (though it hasn't actually been that long...I just don't like knowing I've already turned mine in and can't change it anymore).

Hmm... this is an incredibly close match.



I'll give the results sometime today. So, enjoy the wait!

THE RESULTS!


TheLaw:

+ Nice use of the render
+ Nice color set
+ Cool "Iron Man" text
+ I like the text: "the law." Simple, but effective.
- A bit of Iron Man's helmet is cut off at the top. For some

reason, on transparencies, this bugs me.
- Not sure what the faded black ovals are around the text are

doing.
- The grid could have been faded out a bit more. It draws

attention away from the text/render.
- Iron Man's body seemingly disappears at the bottom... and I

don't know why.
- No real quote. While I stated in the thread that the term "Iron

Man" would be acceptable, I also observed that I would be

looking for something more than that.



DigiMark:

+ Awesome, awesome, awesome concept for a sig.
+ This goes along with the previous, but points for creativity.
+ Nice use of the render. He seems... majestic, or something.
+ Nice use of additional renders.
+ Cool quote.
- The background behind the text could be changed a bit. The

texture used seems a bit dull.
- I like the idea of the dreamy border, but I believe it could have

been done better.
- Your main fault is the text. It needs to be worked on, but it is at

least visible.



This is one of the closest duels I've seen so far, but there must be a

victor. (I'm assuming you both want one, anyway...)

I'm going to give it to...


Digimark wins!



Law, yours was good, but DM's overall style and creativity

worked immensely in his favor. Plus, the render being cut off at the

top and the bottom sort of threw me off, as well as the absence of

the quote.

DM, my advice: work on your text, but I can't say it enough how I

loved the concept.



So, congratulations to both Law and DM. Great duel!

Congrats DM! Your a better sigmaker then me man

I would not put that way: see, sometimes a sigmaker have a better concept for a sig than others, sometimes his/her technique is better, sometimes the render helps...it depends on many things... try not to think someone is better or worse.

Eh?

Which translated is "Digi's creative but has no technique"

Nice duel man. But don't downplay your abilities. You're a great sig-maker too. I just worked like crazy on the design to make this a really good sig because comic-themed sigs should be my "home turf"...I wanted to win even more than normal.

Text is my downfall a lot of times. I'm working on it though. But thanks for the input...both good and bad.


...

Nice duel! Cheers.
