DigiMark007
Judge: Me

Participants: You Guys

Render(s):
Choose 1 of 2:
- Zomgosh a Spider-robot!
- Grape Ape!

What I'm looking for: Stylish, good aesthetic mesh between the render and signature. Basically, the antithesis of my current sig ( embarrasment ).

Notes: To download the full-size renders, click on the little floppy disk icon in the lower right hand corner of the page.

Deadline: About a week. Have it in by the end of Sat. the 22nd EST.

Limits: 90 KB max, 550x200 max. There's no penalty if it's smaller, but the larger-than-KMC size limit is there if you need it.

Enjoy.

Sweetness! Question though...

Can we use renders along with one of the ones listed? or is it only the one presented?

...whatever you want. So yes, more than one is fine.

Coolness. I'll have to make sure to have fun with this. lol. No rushing like I tend to do... embarrasment

Well-then
Thanks for setting it up Digi smile

This was supposed to be my entry - but was way too big.

My original was almost 150 kb. So I redid it. Not sure, but I think it turned out better this way anyway.

Ok then, that was quick.

I'll judge...sometime? Probably Monday evening.

Well-then

Broken Darkness
Alrighty.

Well-Then:
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n71/Tdkz/WTvsBD-1.gif

+ Transparency is artfully done
+ Good use on blending and continuity between render and signature
- .gif file....unavoidable because of the limits, but it frays the edges of the render noticably at the top.
- Text. The "BD" in flower-text doesn't quite seem to fit.



Broken Darkness:

+ Background and border are cool, and set a color scheme without being monotonous.
- Text is meh
- Doesn't seem to be any render blending. It matches well enough with the BG, but still just seems to be sitting on top of it, not really a part of it.



Winner:
Well-Then

...despite the .gif stuff, that was just an awesome implementation of the render. The gorilla leaping out of the sig is uber-cool, and the whole thing (sans text) is very foreboding and dark. Very atmospheric.

Good job to both.

Broken Darkness
Congrats Well-Then

Well-then
Thank you :O

I thought that my chances were close to zero with my gif-sig. Hmm..

Good duel Broken, let another some day smile
