In this round contestants were asked to make a winter themed signature no larger than 300 x 600px. We've only received 10 entries from the 17 people that registered, but something is better than nothing.

How the voting works:

For each group you will rate each piece from 1-10 and give a small reason for the score. You have 18 points to allot to each group so if in Group 3 you give A a 10/10 the maximum score you can give B is 8/10. You DO NOT have to use all of the points for each group. At the end of the round the 2 players with the lowest total will not advance to the next round.

Voting Ends 0:00ST 1/14/13

And in the future do not put your name on the artwork. Its supposed to be anonymous.

Here is the art:

Group 3:

Pffft! Do you know how many fan pictures of him showed up on DA when the movie first came out? 9/10 pieces of art was related to Jack XD

It was a tougher theme than you originally thought

[forhorsmn]

Group 1:
A: 7 A little to monotone. Tough to see the detail in the background.
B: 10 Very well blended and the lighting is fantastic.

Group 2:
A: 8 The render seems over sharpened and the effect behind the snowmobile looks just a tad to "much".
B: 5 The dragon isn't blended at all and the text just doesn't look right.

Group 3: This was a tough one.
A: 9 Very interesting concept. Love the animation but the right side is a little to dark. Maybe if the background came through a little farther to that side it would have been perfect.
B: 8 Great lighting and effects. Again, the right side seems a little to dark.

Group 4:
A: 9 Great depth and effects. Not thrilled with the text placement though.
B: 7 Snowboarder could have been blended better and could have used a few more effects.

Group 5:
A: 8 Very unique. Nice effects but the top left seems a little "empty".
B: 7 Nice depth on the left side but the right side seems way to bright.

Going to cast my vote tomorrow. Good work people!

Only the very first image is nice to look at and maybe I'm behind the times but who the hell is J frost anyway? Sorry to say, I think there was not much imagination at work here

A-4/10.
Too bright, too flowery. Your name is on it.
B.
B-5/10.
Jackfrost. Smudges.

Group 2:

A.
A-6/10
I don't say it often. But that's oversharpened. They also look like their farting fairy dust and the 999 blur in the corner upsets me.
B.

B-2/10.
It literally looks like you did this on MS paint.
Group 3:

A.
A-3/10
I don't understand the text. I hate the orange-purple gradient map that is as subtle as gunfire. Animation wins you no points.

B.
9/10
This one's pretty well done. Not liking the dimension however, but I can see why you'd use it for that stock. (Although It's pretty lame, in my opinion.) Also the small text is hard to read. White border wins you extra points.

Group 4:

A.
8/10
This is one of the best. The font could use some work though. Although the stock makes it look like he has a unibrow.
B.
7/10
This looks really bright and cheery. It is well done, it just looks as if it's more summery. Maybe because she's snowboarding in the mountains with a long sleeve.
Group 5:

A.
4/10
I don't really associate fairies with winter. The text doesn't look that great to me. You might get brownie points if you drew the fairy yourself, but otherwise I don't much like it.

B.
6/10
Jack Frost with pieces of candy in the background. Doesn't look much different than the other Jack Frostseseses.

I hope I offended you ALL. :twisted:

Also, this happened to my entry before I could finish so I gave up.

Guess we know which one is yours, lol

Group 1:
A - 6 I like that it's different. I just think it's a bit plain.
B - 6 The white spot on the bottom bothers me. I also wish that it was a bit more original.

Group 2:
A - 5 I really like what you are trying to do. I think you took the theme and ran with it. It's got some major problems though also (sharpness/ blending)
B - 3 I am sry to whomever this is but, It has too muck wrong with it. I do like the originality of it though.

Group 3:
A - 7 This really was on may favorites list at first. I personally like the animation. However, the right side is just too dark and it makes it too hard to read.
B - 8 Also like this one a lot. There are few small things that throw it off.

Group 4:
A - 5 Not liking this one. The font is just ok. I don't see anything that makes it stand out.
B - 10 I really like everything about this one. I actually think it's better without the font. Very well done.

Group 5:
A - 6 Beyond the text, I do not see the connection with winter. because of that, I have deducted points. Also a little plain.
B - 7 Very good. I think the contrast it a bit extreme but, I also like the mint candies in the background. Even though the render isn't original (deducted a point for that), I like the overall feel.
