TOH: I think you have a great atmosphere in this sig, and the color choice was an abvious, albeit well done. Way to include a variety of appropriate hues. However, I think the patterned hatching adds a much distracting degree of busyness and detracts from the sig. I also feel that some blacks are missing, depite the smokyness and that also contributes to the flatness. And nice text integration.

Gannon: I think you did a nice job instituting a new feel to the render and your tonal work is also nice. However, I feel that some of the qualiteis of the render, glossiness etc, were left unaddressed in areas of the sig, especially to the right side, even though you shose to keep the render as is. I also feel like the lighiting issues and purple tones on the left side of the render were also left unaddressed and ther was a lack of integration on the left side.
Great job both of you!
I must say this was really hard. TOH walked all over Gannon in terms of the environemnt and use of the render, but there's just something about it (hatching) that makes me go for Gannon. Great fight TOH.
