Well yeah, I’m stuck to GIMP because I use Linux. And I’m not sure if using WINE is a good idea.

Runewings317’s, TabbyKiller’s and rip4d’s “signatures” are too big and shouldn’t have qualified (and furthermore there should be size limits for entrants). my favourites are Runewings317, LilXCj and RevengePK.

Runewings317’s is nice because of the lighting and contrast mainly, the highlighting of the render’s face and shoulders are good for the depth of the piece and the lighting under the mace is nice (treating the text as a light source is cool) although i wouldn’t say the black lines are very nice, they’d perhaps look better if translucent and in some places overstepping on the render to give some more depth. the dual focal points work well together, with the face appearing as the primary focal for me and the text isn’t a distraction but is still significant. i don’t like how the circular bit on the right side appears to be cut off, and the mace from the underlying render copy should have been cut out along that are. it may just be me but the text seems to be brighter on the left side than the right too.

LilXCj’s main striking point for me is how the mace is made the focal point and slips in some very well done cheeky text however there’s too much competition between the focals (render body and mace). unfortunately it seems to lack depth in general and the filters/effects over the render body could have been less grainy, and the random highlighted block over the mace slightly distracts the eyes a little too much from the text.

RevengePK’s is good in the colour it uses, matching background colours with the renders colour although i’m not a fan of the opaqueness of the underlying render copies and the smudging isn’t great underneath the render body. the text is too hard to read but it goes well with the brighter red lightning area, that effect could perhaps have been copied around the red area a bit more as it looks cool. the lighting under the render’s arm could do with some darkening and the colours could be a little less dull and more bright and contrasted alike the lightning.

my vote goes to Runewings317 due to the nice colours, lighting and well-done depth, but it was hard to pick. i didn’t like the size, can we plz limit in future.

#34

This. My image was only so big because I knew others’ sigs were, so I thought I could leave it somewhat large. We need a limit or at least a specified size from now on I think.

#35

Glad to have your votes. I wish I had better brushes for this SOTW but I have lots of college stuff to work on.

#36

Runewings’ looks epic.

#37
#38

I’m going for my man runewings317.

#39

You shouldn’t make it to big because an over-sided render looks ugly and there may be too much empty space.

#40

Those lines going across the background is what killed it for me on Runewings signature.
