MMC Signature Competition

Ohwell.
You can use my original entry, I don't think I'll have time to do it.
 
It's up to you. You still about 6 hours until the deadline.
 
The poll is up a bit late. I'm extending the voting period to next Wednesday. Good luck to all the entries.
 
The first magikarp one is wayyy too over-sharpened, the background is messy and the magikarp render looks out of place.

The piplup one is pretty decent, I can see where it was going and if whoever made it had more graphical knowledge it probably would have been good, but for right now it's lacking effects and flow and the text is really out of place.

The effects on the golduck one are amazing, though they are a bit blurry. The main thing I despise about it is how the render which is meant to be the main focal point of a signature is hidden behind the huge water effect and it's even blurred, making it less visible.

The last one, the Seadra one, is AMAZING. The flow and general look of the signature is breath-taking, the colours are astounding and the water perfectly highlights the render. It makes it truly look like Seadra is a part of the background and everything is meant to be there, including the text. This is the one that got my vote.

Sorry about not managing to get my signature in on time, I completely forgot about this XD

For anyone trying to learn graphics, I highly suggest you study the Seadra one because it's a really good graphical piece.

EDIT: Just one thing I would recommend to whoever made the Seadra one is to try and smooth out the colours slightly. It seems odd how different the shades of blue in the water and in Seadra are.
 
I will be rebranding the next competition to be an individual contest. You can always enter the next one, Jason. Thank you for your constructive criticism on the entries.

Thanks for the CC, I guess I need to read some more tutorials. Another reason why this had been is because I didn't have much inspiration.

I'll try enter the next competition and take this all in to my next one.

Tutorials are all well and good for basic effects and tricks with text, brushes, C4Ds, etc. but the only true way you will learn is spending a great deal of time trying different things out, create tons of pieces of artwork ranging from big to small trying all different types of things out, even if they don't look good to begin with.
 
I voted Seandra, it's fantastic! It seems a wee bit bright, but that's only a minor thing.
 
When does this end?

Also, lovin' how Seadra got all the votes, while everyone else got one each. :L

Do I sense a sore loser?
No. D:

But seriously, no. I was just pointing that out.

I mean really, it's a contest on an online forum. Anyone who gets competitive over something like that is in the ranks of diddygirl.

You could always edit your Surskit signature you have now in your signature, Jas0n?
If you wanted to?
 
The voting will end next Wednesday. Until then, any signature could catch up in the competition.

Panties: The next competition theme will be announced next Thursday.
