CANVAS

[snowdog]

F - Absolutely love it. It's simplistic, but it works very well. I like the blurred version of the stock behind the sharper version, and I like the little slices used beneath. Great job. <3

J - Gorgeous colours. I love the stock, too, looks very effective; especially with the contrast between Tifa and the background.

H - Again, like the colours. The sandy colours go nicely with the stock, and the exploding effect looks great.

<3

[Face Down]

J - Colors are simply beautiful

M - Colors are really nice. The stock really fits the background

H - Again colors are great. Stock placement makes is nice

[Krimsun Monkeh]

F - The blurred Cloud looks cool, and like what snow said. The little slices are pretty sweet.

B - I like Tifa and the design in the background.

L - Good Graphics

[WatcherX]

O - I like IT cause it's cool and doesn't look like everyones typical Cloud

L - I like the true evil esence shown in this picture of Cloud

K - I like K cause Reno is just plain awsome

[Jolts]

H- I really like the colors and the exploding effect.
C- The text and blurry effects are cool.
B- I like chrystal effect of the background.

[C4E]

L: The sense of wholeness and being complete won me over on this one.

N: didnt really feel complete, so i didnt vote for this one first, contrast was done well.

O: Nice colors and effects, but once again it didnt really feel complete to me.

[Ken]

O - Not many people on these forums can imitate, let alone actually be able to do that effect on their sig. The blatant simplicity makes it a whole ton better than most of the entries there. Blue and yellow for the effects. Complementary colours anyone? Composition is probably the best of the best.

N - Probably one of the better executed "blurry stock" in the background tags I've seen around. The main focus is nice and sharp and the red line, that I personally perceive to be an effect imitating a blood filled sword slash really catches your eye. Once again, very minimalistic yet extremely effective.

M - Again, another minimalistic tag. None other except for the first two can pull it off like this. The colours are gorgeous, and the composition is top notch. The contrast between the stock and the base background colour is humongous, which is what helps the tag achieve it's focal point. The effects are great for something so minimalistic.

Quite a close call between N and M. There may have been some biasm there however which I do somewhat regret ):

All in all, I only actually like four of the tags there, excluding mine =/ The others, I'm not so fond of.

[The M.C.]

M: Wonderful colors, effects, and smudging on a powerfully simple background. overall just looks the best out of all the others. looks very professional, well done. essentially looks like it could be used as an effect in a CG movie where the person is rotting away while they walk. lol

K: Nice colors. the stock is well blended, but a little too much. isnt my favorite tag, but looks complete and i prefer this to the others.

J: Mainly because i dont like any of the others, but the colors look very pretty and makes this stand out. could be improved with more things added to it. the background doesnt seem to fit the stock, like it looks like Tifa is either underwater, (or just a blue BG) or she is jumping impossibly high (the clouds). in FFVII AC we all saw it happen, but for a tag......

[Deeman]

L - Wow, just wow. Love what's going on in this tag.

M - Beautiful effects, but the text needs to go. Left side is a bit empty, too.

I - Great colors. I love the nicely made graphics going on here.

Overall, most of you did a fantastic job.

[Gamergirl89]

o damn this is gonna be hard.....

M--b/c I love the smudging and the colors used around the stock, though the negative space towards the left bugs me. The stock would of looked better in the middle, and I think I've told the creator my thoughts on the text xD :nudges creator:

N- Basically the red line caught my attention, and the techinque of the "burry stock in bg" is something I haven't seen around khi, but mostly @ gamerenders.

J-The blue in this makes it standout color-wise from the rest of the tags, except I think something else could of been added in the bottom part of the tag to give it a framed look

**btw did anyone else notice how the tags were lined up in the canvas???**

[Color Me Evil]

I - I love the vectors of this tag. The vectors and the artwork go so well together. My heart is skipping beats I love this tag so much.

N - The depth is really incredible and I love the spark the red adds to the tag. The blown up dup of Cloud's face is also a nice touch.

O - I love how abstract this is. The background is a bit bland but the effects on his shoulders make up for it. (:

[♥]

L- Love it. Great depth of field, but I don't think the colors are the best.

N- Love it. I don't like how sharp the stock is before the dup on the left, otherwise it's ace.

M- It's good, and I need a third vote.

[Aqua]

M - I like how the colors were used.
N - I think it seems quite dynamic, it really attracts the eye.
J - The background seems pretty sweet, and fits in well with the character.

[Rem]

O- I have to agree with Jay, this is really one of the more original tags I've seen, very simple, but simplicity can always be something good, as seen here. The colors seem to complement everything here, the orange and blue really caught my eye, and added with a black and white manga-like stock, the effect is beautiful.

L- Nice stock, great depth. kthx.

K- Dark, but nice colors, it's also smudged and blended quite well.
