I need some quick clarification on this theme, would it work if I made a Sig of a person that was on the cover of a magazine that was published by Shueisha?

Well I actually never thought about it. I was actually thinking about using characters in the manga's Shueisha published.

 

But...... if it has anything to do with Shueisha then go for it :)

I used the cover of a magazine called Non-No that Shueisha publishes.

(ugh I do not like how this turned out)

Theme: Cyberpunk

EDIT: Fixed a spot on sig that wasn't important but bothered the crap outta me

1st poetictragedy - Nice colour scheme and fading/tunnel effect.


2nd Athena -  its like a dream... (good thing btw)


3rd ParasiteEve - Good work with a live action character, blends really well. 


 


Runnerups


4th Kouhai - the background used for the text threw me off a bit :). Other than that, its perfect.


5th Tsukumo Yuma - a different, higher quality render would have done it. Good gif and pop out effects.

1st kouhai - Was between kouhai and poetictragedy's gifs for this one, but decided to choose kouhai's because of nice colour, amazing background, character selection and ''God's Tongue'' phrase!! Loved it!!. It gave me the shivers at some point!! ^_^
2nd poetictragedy - Very well made gif! Allen is best suited on this one and also pretty amazed by the ''REMAIN'' emphasis on the whole phrase!! ^_^ Also, the blood at the background certainly made it look more epic that it already was!! Well done!! ^_^ 

3rd Tsukumo Yuma - It certainly attracts everyone's attention. That excellent effect is sure an amazing piece of work!! It shows pro work and good amount of effort!! ^_^

4th Athena - After seeing this the only thing that popped into my mind was: ''How cute!!''. Really, the cuteness of this gif is unique and the color selection gives it a sweeter taste imo!! ^_^

5th ParasiteEve - The background looks unique in its own special way and the use of a live action character certainly tied with the whole expression really well!! Great work!! ^_^

I will vote:


 


1. Kouhai - Very Nice this sig. The lighting is great and the background goes well with the render. Just one problem, the left side of your sig looks perfect however to your right that brush work looks very out of place. Other than that I got no complaints


 


2. Athena - Also a nice looking sig, the colours(pink mostly) work quite well with the render. Just an issue with the fading of the render from the right side of her hair and the left side of her shoulder.


 


3. ParasiteEve - Yes, I like the risk you took. Most people wouldn't go for a live action render, you blended it to your background well. Your text also looks nice. But I just feel that the render should have been placed in the middle of the sig and not to the sides. The text stands out more than the render.


 


Runner Ups:


 


Tsukumo Yuma - I do like gifs, and yours really shines through. But I just have an issue with text placement, I focus more on the text than the render.


 


poetictragedy - The background looks nice and the render blends well. I would've have rated you hire but, I do not like a lot of writing used in a sig. It just becomes more about the verse than the overall sig.

Weee, I'm stealing Eve's voting style.


 


1-Kouhai


+ Very sharp! I love the focus and blurred background.


+ I think you did a clipping layer with the text, and it worked very well!


- It's washed out at the bottom.


 


2-ParasiteEve


+ Good colors and blending!


+ It has an ethereal feel to it.


- I would have done 1 of 2 things. Either move the render more toward the middle, or move the text a smidge toward the render and crop out the empty space.


 


3-Athena


+ Good color-matching.


- I don't like the purple area on the right side of her head.


- The border seems too harsh. Maybe if  the opacity was turned down a bit.


 




 


Tsukumo Yuma


+ Very cute!


+ Nice job using a gif!


- The render seems grainy.
