Group 1: B
It fits the theme better in my opinion.

Group 2: A
Though to sharpened for my taste it fits the theme and I like it best of the three.

Group 3: C
I like the smudging and nice lighting.

Group 4: B
Great job.Nice lighting and shows the emotion well.

Group 5: A
Great smudging, lighting and follows the theme great. Awesome job

Group 6: A
WTF?!?!?!? :shock: enough said.

Group 7: B
I like the clean look and it just catches my attention more.

Group 8: A
What can I say the puppies eyes got me,nice concept and it fits the theme better of the two in my opinion.

[LadyPike]

Group 1. B
hmmmm...although A shows quality work, only the title of it points me to emotions....so B got my vote...execution isn't that good, but it fits the theme

Group 2. A
would pick B but it's just too empty...so I'll go with A in this one...good choice of stock even though artist sharpened the crap out of it

Group 3. C
got some nice smudging

Group 4. B
definitely the best executed and fits the theme perfectly but I would kill the 'big him' ...kinda in a way

Group 5. A

I'm in love...enough said

Group 6. A
well...you got me wonder wtf is that :shock: well done, but have to say over sharpened


Group 7. B
the hardest one to pick from...went with 'explosion' effect and tempting colors

Group 8. A
puppy eyes got my attention...execution could be better

tried my best to go easy on you guys...it shows, right :mrgreen:

Voting here to help out

Group 1: A - only one of the three that has a consistent theme throughout.
Group 2: A - best encapsulates the word it is describing.
Group 3: C - quirky take on a well known phrase. A was also close here.
Group 4: B - quite dark, but fits the moods well.
Group 5: C - really nice use of the image, good text.
Group 6: B - not a huge fan of this group overall, but this one is pretty nice.
Group 7: A - nicely done. Text in B was too hard to read in a rush.
Group 8: A - I like the use of the dog to symbolise longing.

A different thread will be created for those. Otherwise this would be too heavy.

Group 1: A - The background, font, and picture of the girl. The font is clean, and very eligible, the background is beautiful. I like the blue/red color scheme Her hair, mark on her face, and background.

Group 2: B - I like the abstract background goes good with the picture of the women, and the font is different, and very nice.

Group 3: A - Wow, amazing abstract background, and amazing picture of a super hero/villain I can't tell he just has fury, power, and revenge in his eyes. The font goes perfect with the signature.

Group 4: C - Great picture, I like the lower border with all the red roses, the combination of the two pictures, and the space background to tie the whole picture together.

Group 5: B - It says Fear, and looks good with it I like the bottom back ground the close up on the person, and the monster in the background is very unusual.

Group 6: A - Wow, the combination of images in that is crazy amazing, I love how the head is a Forest Dragon with trees growing out of what looks like his head/back, the font is amazing, and it does make me wonder? It looks like it has 3 backgrounds? There is so much work into this piece I could go on about it for another paragraph. Short Story " I love it ". <-- I'll buy it after the Tournament is over send me a message!

Group 7: A - That one is just beautiful beyond words, it reminds me of the military, of people lost, people still fighting, family, and friends. The combination of images, the fallen soldier, and his wife the gravestone, and the background a lot of work, and effort went into this beautiful picture, the font is great, and has a beautiful saying to it. I can't wait to find the artist behind this Image it's amazing.

Group 8: A - This was a tough one, only 2 choices, and there both amazing pieces. I have to give each of them credit on both background, font, and the first image you see. The puppy for A, and the angel for B. I like A more cause it shows more emotion to me, you see the face of a sad puppy, the font fits it beautifully, you see a gravestone with Beloved Master on it, the puppy is holding a dying rose, and the background of the mansion, and statues add to the emotion behind the picture.


Note: I hope this wasn't to long wanted to give vivid detail, I could of made it longer. Thanks, and good luck to all the artists.

Group 1 A - I like the work on this better. I almost voted for B but, A had better quality and Font. I am missing the "jealousy" in it though

Group 2 B - This was a close one again but, I love the addition of the heart in her hand and she looks like she is in love. Nice effects also.

Group 3 C - Was nicely done, fits the theme, Awesome text. A was also nice but, I do not see "pride"

Group 4 B - I had to come back to this one. I loved both A and B but, B just was slightly better, the placement of the text, lighting and effects, all very well done!

Group 5 A - This one I liked all three. In the end, A just catched my eye.

Group 6 C - I had issues with all three of these. none are the quality I would expect from a GGT. C was just the nicest looking. I would expect that who ever wins in this group, they need to step it up a bit.

Group 7 A - Both were very well done and of high quality. A Just was absolutely perfect, IMO.

Group 8 A - How can you not love a puppy? LOL No seriously, very well done. Nice effects and text.
