Hana v.s. Xehsin

[Dogenzaka]

Meh, Hana

Xehsin's kind of bores me after a while. It's nice, but it doesn't have that feeling of "ohwao". The stock feels like it could be blended in a tad more IMO, and the font used doesn't fit as good as it could IMO.

Hana's is ub3r nice. The red flare is a nice touch, but I wish there was a prominent light source, and the text = no. I know how hard it is to work with flat stocks xD. Still a bit monotone and not as detailed as it could be.

The two bars also annoy me.

-taken out-


EDIT:..........hmm.....I change my mind.

Sorry Hana, Xehsin gets my vote

Very close call this is

Hana
Loving the colours, although instead of the dups i would've cropped instead, there is enough neg space already imo

Xehs
I'm not a giant fan of the colours that cover the bg, the pink and the hint of green on the trees don't correspond that well imo, and the stock could be blended a little better imo...

I'm not a fan of the text on either tbh but overall i think Hana GMV

[Xehsin]

thanks for the CnC guys appreciate it =)

4 all

Wow! You don't know how happy i am! I really improved, thats all i wanted to see, how much i've improved by. Thanks guys! ^_^

So lets see... win by 2?

[Hanatori]

Yeah, I suppose so. =/

I'm just happy that it wasn't a rape for me, that would be terrifying. >_<;
Slumps suck.

This ones tough...
Hana- I love the background and foreground, and it goes really well with the stock. i think the text would have looked nicer on the right side though, where you have all that empty space. I love the focal point here as well, my eyes dont really wander, but i think it could use a little bit more color.

Shine- i like the idea you have here, but i think the stock could be a little more incorporated into the tag. the text on the dripping ink spot could look nice, but it looks like it stands out a bit too much. maybe blur the edges of the bubble a bit. i also think you could try and get the colors in the background to go a little more with the stock. i see the pink in the stock, but none of the other colors really show. Gradient maps would help here.

overall, both are very nice tags.
but Hana GMV

@hana
Love this tag, only thing i didnt like was all the empty space on the right, the text, and the white stock dup. i loved the blue, and what you did with the background though.

@Xehs
I liked the color choice, but the stock was all red, and the background is pretty flat looking on the right side between the stock and the name. the stock could use a little better blending, and a lot of the background is in need of some depth work.

Hana gets my vote.

Ladies and gentlemen, I beleive we have come to a verdict.

...

:D

[Xehsin]

Yup Congrats Hana! YOU WON!

Im happy that i got to tie against you, before my tags were in the n00bish category. Soon i just might be able to defeat you, better watch out eh! >=D

Though i had to disagree with some of the CnC on mine... its not flat.. its got depth, its just that the flow is messed up. Gah..

[Hanatori]

Some of the critique on either side was odd, but you get to find out what people's tastes are like. :x

It was a great battle, Xehsin. I'm sure you already surpass me, but I was just lucky. XD;

[Xehsin]

lol yeah ture. Different people have different opnions.

Likewise Hana. Thanks for the comment Hana, its really good coming from yout ^_^
