Sh[Ex]'s entry:
C_L's entry:


first to 7 wins.

[Prodigy]

ShEx, gmv.

ShEx; I don't really have any problems with it. Awesome job w/ stock blending and colors. BG is fungshway. Text is a maybe; however, I like the depth.

CL; Not liking the bg on the left. It's too random and doesn't flow well with the rest of the sig. The right side works, though. ;P The left side is just all up in yo grill, know what I'm sayin'? The sig is definately over-contrasted. The text would've been better if you kept the cross. The lighting is a bit messy.

ShEx gmv.

[_Omni_]

Shex GMV.

His entry has more direction the C_L's. I 'm really not feeling Cloud's lighting effect there.
On the other hand, Shex's lighting effect agrees with the tag.
There's just too much going on in C_L's entry.

[Scarecrow]

Shex GMV.

C_L's looks way too random, and looks as if he just placed a render in a random location. White overlays the Stock too much around the edges, also.

Shex's has direction, good contrast, and the colours work well together. Typo is great aswell.

[Color Me Knievel]

ShEx GMV.

His tag is good, nice flow and good depth.
Text looks good, the background is good and I like the text.
Not much to complain about, except that I for some reason doesn't like that the render looks so sharp. ;3

C_L's looks random, and I don't like the background very much.
Right side looks quite nice, almost vectored, but I don't like that it lacks assymetry.
The left side is way too chaotic and random.
The stock looks LQ, btw. D:

L.U.G: 0

keep it coming, people.

[Epilogue]

ShEX gmv because:

Cloud_Leingod's was a bit over contrasted, the stock looks real low quality and what's up with the blue/purplish outlines on the stock? o.o; The text looks better on Cloud's then on ShEx but overall, I think ShEx is better because the flow isn`t all over the place, the backround doesn`t look as random as Cloud's and it seems to fit the stock better...no offense to you C_L. The left side isn`t looking too good there Cloud. Maybe next time, ya?

[_Odin_]

L.U.G.: 0
EBGFX: 5

come on! let's keep those votes coming!

[Color Me Evil]

Shex gmv.

Everything has direction and the flow is splendid. Everything matches wonderfully, and the colors make me happy. The typo is awesome, I love how it splits in half. <3

C_L: Waaay too random. The colors are too bright for the stock. Everything just looks like it was thrown together without much thought. The background is very random and has no sense of flow and/or direction.

Shex gmv.

[Battlecry]

ShEx: Background isn't as random, but yours is a bit too plain. But, since it's a small tag, it fits pretty well. Nice text & color arrangement.

leingod: No flow here. The colors are too bright, IMO. It looks like you didn't put much effort into making a smooth bg. The whole thing pretty much clashes with itself.

ShEX ftw.

...Rape, yuz? D:

[Proline]

Wow, that was a made rape xD Dammit I wanted to vote too >.<

[Banishing Blade]

Round One goes to EBGFX!
