rofl, what's sad, is it actually took me a minute to understand what you meant.

And no, Link isn't, but this is a link, as in url.

I thought it was better than "pink elf"

I'll get started in a day.

lol. alright, sweet.

Any specific name or anything?

Nope. Just be as creative as possible.

Entree.

Quickshot's Entry:

+ Color works well with the render
+ Nice border
+ Text has good placement and is readable
- Brightness washed out the render a bit, though it added a softness that seems to go well with the sig.


Thorinn's Entry:

+ Nice background for the most part (though if you stare at it long enough it looks a bit like someones bare butt, just blurred. )
+ Colors showed the render in more detail.
- Render Placement. Needed to be a little lower, as her one eyebrow is cut off and it makes it look odd.
- Top and bottom only border kinda makes it look like a movie, but needed to be at least a little thinner. The eyes are drawn to the border before anything else.
- Text, though it fits into the sig well, it fits too well, half of it is kinda hard to make out.


Damn you guys made this hard. Honestly, I think both sigs are amazing, I couldn't give an actual judgement until just now when I typed out all the good and bad of the sigs.

I must declare the victor... quickshot!

there is nothing wrong with the top/bottom border lookmhm

I love this render

I must make more sigs.

sweet. I'm actually making a sig with her myself, which is odd, as I don't often make girly sigs.



And to Baka and TOH. I never said there was anything wrong with it normally. But in this case with this render and that sig, it does not work in my opinion and experience.

back off barker, disagreeing with me is fine, but don't be a jerkoff.

who's Helen Keller?

Okay guys.

People are perfectly free to disagree with a judgment. Frankly, I disagree with the judgment of this duel myself.

So I shall say three things.

1) Like everything else in life, you cannot expect everyone to agree with you. And this goes for all parties.

2) If you are going to disagree, be polite about it.

3) It's a goddamn sig duel and not that big a deal, and none of the dissenting comments in this thread are bashing and thus not against the rules. If you're getting bent out of shape from something in a duel, I think you need to back away from the computer and rethink your priorities.

So certain parties need to lighten up and calm down, and others need to be a bit nicer.
