Gosh there are so many amazing entries yet again!

I had a hard time choosing out of 1,4,5,7 and 9.

Though number four was the first that caught my attention, due to the beautiful colours. I love colourful signatures and this one is absolutely superb!

The lighting is very well done in my opinion and the glowing background, filled with mingling colours is just beautiful.

The glowing balls throughout are so pretty and the text is placed very well. The font chosen is also gorgeous as is the small writing underneath.

Lovely border rounds this piece of nicely.

Well done to all!

Hard choice

Am going with #3 Great colour's used and they fit in well with Ultemicia I love the font used and the picture is placed well

I'm voting for number five. I think the background works really well and the subtle red light on the left of the Sig looks pretty good. The Sig in general looks really smooth (particularly the chicks face). Good work to whoever made it.

12. I mean, it's simply stunning - the whole thing gives off a mysterious feeling :3

Very tough choice, but im going with #7. It just captures my attention alot more than the rest.

 

[Shadra]

It was hard to decide between 9 and 11....

I think I'm going to go with 11 though. Love the lighting effects. It's bright but at the same time it has it's dark spots that draw your eyes. It makes me thnk that it's about to storm. lol

Ok this week is tougher than last week. There are 4 entries that I really want to vote for at the same time and I just can't seem to choose.

1 - Nice simple tag here. I like the way the lighting seems to creep its way up to the main focal point...it really brings more focus to him. The Japanese writing also looks good up there.

2 - Looks nice and bright. I like the designs on the bottom-left. Not too sure about the XXXX on the top and then the small fonts on the bottom...my eyes seem to wander too much from top to bottom because of it. But it's a decent tag overall.

3 - Dark and somewhat moody. Nice effects on the background there and the main focal point really stands out. Her lower-body part seems a bit interesting there...it's as if she's cut off and engulfed in the background there. Pretty nice.

4 - Ahh this one relaxes me. The whole look just beckons to you, along with the coloring and glittering effects. Its details are quite amazing and the text is perfect too.

5 - Now this is stunning. It seriously caught my eye right away due to the light and dark touch and the interesting colors combined. The composition is probably what held me the most and the smooth texture of her face, yet in the background you see a great contrast due to the slight rough effects used. The border is quite interesting too. Overall it's one of the best vertical tags I've seen so far.

6 - Pretty different look here - the purple is quite overwhelming but I think the effect used is interesting. Kinda has that watercolor and blurred style look. Not too sure about the subtle diagonal lines going down across...'tis a bit distracting. The text is pretty nice though.

7 - Very artistic! It has that fun look and I enjoyed looking at this tag. There's a lot going on here, in a good way, and even the border is just crazy. One of the best I've seen for awhile, and I like that the artists was bold enough to try something new and creative. Nice lines on the middle too...really has that vector look I think. The tag doesn't really have a main focal point since its focus is more on the artistic side of it, but it's still nice to see Yuffie's face lurking there.

8 - Interesting abstract look I guess. xD Nice text there. Not a fan of the round rainbow thing going on there in the middle though. I think the image could have used some blending and coloring. Great try though.

9 - Ah this one caught my attention too. I'm a sucker for real people, and this one is very pretty. Love the soft and smooth look and I notice a motion blur (I think?) on the top...I like it, seems nice to look at. The Japanese writing makes this a finished and excellent product.

10 - This is different...I guess in that unique sort of fashion it works. xD The text makes its own designs and background...the flower looks kinda lost there but it's still a good piece.

11 - I like. Not sure what this reminds me of...but as I look at it the more I see that there's a few subtle details that I almost missed. It has a cool texture that's for sure, and the text is amazing. This has an artistic side to it as well and I know how it can be hard to work with buildings. Great try and again, the border looks different. Thumbs up for attempting to pull off a unqiue one.

13 - Yummmm. I'm talking about the tag, not the stock. xD Or maybe both. I love the 'SWOOSH!!!' effects surrounding Beckham. That clearly took some skills. The texture here and there is also nice to see and the blending is quite fabulous. Border pulls it off nicely and this is one of my favorite tags here.


In the end I was stuck with 5, 7, 9, and 13. The others were great too but these 4 entries really put me on the spot there for awhile. And after much consideration, I just cannot let 5 pass without a vote for me. I'm just in love with the whole look for many different reasons.

3, 4 or 5.

3 - The color scheme is really working for me. I'm drawn by the crispness of the focal. The text is great and the background is busy, but not overwhelming.

4 - The stock is cut uniquely. The glow effect is extremely appealing and the text is also spot on. Good job!

5 - This one caught my eye right away. It's different. It's appealing. Very few, subtle effects were applied, and it works. I'm particularly inclined to the colors--it's fantastic.

After evaluation, my vote went to 5. It captures me.

A brilliant job to all who participated. <3
