Ok -
Alliance
+ Beautiful colouring, love the way they blend
+ Render excellently built into the background
+ Text is great, looks very 'natural'
- Not as 'bright' as I would have liked
Thorinn
+ Like the way she looks as though she's punching through the background
+ Again, nice use of colour, very eye-catching
- Left side of the sig is a little plain
- Text plain also, could have done more with the names
Result
This one goes to Alliance. Close call though, two very good sigs clapping
