Here we go...

Contestants: choosewisely vs. KENobi

Judge: DigiMark007

Dimensions: 450x150

File Size: 50KB

Theme: Valentine's Day is coming up soon. In honor of this, your theme is "Love". It can be any interpretation and/or representation of the word, but must apply to the theme in some way. Beyond that, any render/image/etc. is fair game, though it must be a newly made sig, not an older one you've used or made already.

I will judge primarily based upon the merits of your signature, but if it's very close I will also take into consideration how well your sig applies to the theme.

Due Date: Saturday, Feb. 4 by Noon (roughly 72 hours).

Good luck!

I'll have mine done tomorrow probably, so it shouldn't matter.

CW's has a cool "Cute teenager young love" thing going on with nice animation. Funny enough, I see Ken's in the opposite end of the spectrum. It has a more mature approach, running with the more traditional sense of VD. However it's tad cliche and simple for my taste. Not much is going on. I think Ken should have been a little more risky with it. However being conventional is never a bad thing.

Like I said, I had no ideas for this contest. I despise VD. It took ages to get it to look as good as it is. erm

Wow....ok.

I'm surprised you got the animation to work under 50KB CW...props.

...I'll decide soon. Super sigs, though...I realize Love probably isn't either of yours' favorite sig topic, but they turned out nicely.

DigiMark007
K...

Valentine's Day is my least favorite holiday as well, so I can sympathize with the inability to come up with tons of ideas.

Both are very well done and don't do much wrong.

CW - The animation is cute. The font/colors/background/etc. all match well, and I like the candy hearts. I thought they could have been brought out a little more, as they kind of fuzzy-size into the background.

Ken - Nicely trades in any cuteness for a completely polished look. Any background (even simple ones) that doesn't look stupid impresses me, as I have trouble with them myself. The sparkles are nice, and the occasional glowing heart-shaped sparkle thingy is a cool touch. My only qualm is with the white arc that comes swooping down from the top left through the word 'Love'. It kind of dissects the word in half, making neither half seem entirely right. Small carrots, though, since it's a great sig.

...

*gah, judging tight ones is rough*

...

Ken gets the win...The animation is cute as hell, but Ken's is much more polished. Sans animation, it would have been easier to decide, but I just don't think it made up for it enough. Still, CW captured "cute teen-style love" well, as did Ken with a more classic romanticism. Both took different approaches and were very solid. This was tough (and this is actually an edit, since I wrote one for each of you winning to see which one looked "right" to me) but congrats to both.

...

And to CW:
You'll have a chance to compete in an 8-way free-for-all later in the tourney to have the right to play in the 3rd-4th-5th-place match at the same time as the finals. If you don't want to, that's fine, but it's another opportunity to gain tourney fame if you're interested.

KENobi™
So who's the official winner? confused

EDIT: I see you edited.
