Great Job everyone! Please check the Graphics forum in the near future for round 2 information. Expect it late late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Due to a loss of internet on my part earlier today, the tournament has been pushed off schedule by a slight amount. I will seek to remedy this, meanwhile, take a small breather. =)

1A. good use of shading, my attention doesnt wander around the picture my focus is drawn to the subject with minor but needed distractions to the lower right and the other one is a bit to bright almost blindingly so


2A. very bright and colorful as a child would see it not boring in the least, other one is a bit dull more reserved bit too reserved for a kid yeah they may be shy but they will see things as bright strange and full of wonder



3A bother are boring but A looks like it had more work in it B seems like they altered the light and the colors but no effects that stood out and said hey this sets me apart.



4A another boring set (not meaning to be offensive just boring in my opinion) both look like text slaps or slaps with a bit of color or lighting change so it comes down to preferance of content which in this case is mythology



5B great color splashes i love toad from the mario games ideal for life seen by children the toads even look like they are enjoying themselves while the unicorn is lacking in the luster it could have

missed group 6 lol


6A definantly great lighting good color changes in various area of the picture easily the best of the whole bunch in my useless opinion

2A i love the colors seen in this one very colorful.Always i believe that this is what kids see lol

3B-Seen the render used too many times but this is pretty good for a commonly used render plus i like the effect on his fist really nice!!

1a - simply liked it better - nice blending
2a - This was hard but I think that a fit the theme better
3a - I think there is too much blank space on the right side of B
4a - Both of them have things I like and dont. A just looked like it had more work put into it
5a - Hard one, I chose a because I like the way it is blended better. the "splotches" on b look a little off
6a - Again a very hard one - A is just simply awesomely done!

1A. Has a lot of depth with great blending of the effects.

2B. Graphically better than A. Great flow and lighting.

3A. Stands out with a more unique focal and great lighting and effect. I really like the c4ds blended in with the BG.

4A. More work seems to have been put into it.

5A. Beautifully made with great use of the BG and the render.

6A. A lot cleaner in terms of blending.

1a- Blends better a B hurts my eyes (from brightness)
2a- Hard one but - B looks dull and creepy
3b- Cleaner and notso bright......
4a- Tough one, but in the end I went with A, because of mom's face....I can't sleep anymore.
5b- More color
6a- Very nicely done. Simply that.

1B - Just describes 'Mythology' better than A to me.

2B - The colour usage & whole overall picture describes 'Life as seen by childre' - In my opinion

3B - The blurring in the colors is great! Overall very hard choice.

4B - just seems 'happy' to me & great use of the brightness in it!

5A - Love the background and a very good job overall!

6A - Wow - Everything in it looks perfect in my opinion, see nothing wrong in it at all, and the quality is just spectacular..

:)

1a for the colors, blending and the lighting

2b the baby is so cute. dmr wants to have a baby now. lol The colors are wonderful and i love the fact that its so clean and clear. very nice job on it.

3a again nice colors in this... nice cd4s were used and the text looks pretty nice too. Oh and the lighting is perfect.

4a very nicely blended

5a I like brush you used almost makes it look like they are flying. so good job on that. :) I just think its a little too bright but its a very nice sig.

6b I like how you made zeus look more powerful. lol the cd4s are great in this one... very nicely blended. love it!!

1B - The one above it has to much going on. This one is much more complex, but well placed out. I enjoy looking at this one :)

2B - The one above this one, has a text that blends into the background which makes it hard on the eyes. This one has a nice Spark to it, and the text goes great with it. Great use of imagination! :o

3A - This was a tough vote, but this one blew my mind. I absolutely love how it makes the Chinese man look like he's floating, or atleast in my mind. I can tell whomever made this one put time into this. :o

4B - The one above this, has a style of text that doesn't fit in with the rest of the image. I have to say the second one was smart and well on its topic. It reminds me of the younger days when you use to go to daycare, then the day ends and your parent picks you up. Thinking about that moment is great. :wink:

5B - This was another tough vote, but if this was my contest for my own Signature. I'd go with this one. The one above it has a blur to it, that sends me in dizziness :cry:

6A - This one was another tough one! But something about the second one, just doesn't fit. I think its either the charecter on the background, or vice versa. I'd like to see the text moved on the first one though, maybe a little more to the left :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm just wondering -
We are aloud to vote again on the second round right?

2B- Nice color blends looks great.
3B - graphics are good and sharp image looks good.
4A- love the horse guy ...very masculine
5A- I like unicorns very mythical and pure innocent creatues.
6A- Again the color blending is good.
