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).
+ 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!
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.
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.

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