Guys, I would like to enter if time permits me but what does "pit" mean? :/ Totally lost there....

 

You are still good to enter until the 2nd of January... 

 

As for the theme, Pit, just going off a Google search but I believe this is what you have to use for this theme: Images

 

And if you want some background info: wikipedia

 

Ps. I think you should also enter BOTM: December as well =] (seen as there are only 2 entries so far xD~thanks for "like" btw)

Due to not enough entries the contest will be extended a week.

Out of interest what is the minimum number of entries? I thought 3 would do it was you could place a 1st, 2nd and 3rd...
We try to get at least 4 entries. If we only have 3, the participants can't vote, since you have to list 3 people but you can't vote for yourself. Usually the ones who enter want to vote too. Edited by Apollo

As Apollo has stated, 4 is the number of entries we aim for so that the participants can also vote.

1st J-Lord - Really liked the 'magnification' effect of the face. The render and background worked well together. 


2nd Athena - Good effects, the thicker border lines at the top and bottom were interesting.


3rd ParasiteEve - Personally would have liked the background all the way through, but the transparency changes it up a bit. 


 


Runner Up:


4th Tsukumo Yuma - Would have left out the 2 inserts on either side of Icarus, but like the pop out feature.

1. Athena - Very pleasing to look at in terms of colour and action. This is not to overpowering nor does it lack anything thus making it my number one choice;


2. Tsukumo Yuma - There is a nice mixture of pictures in this signature however I find that they could be better blended to suit the signature. Still a nice signature.


3 - Parasite Eve - Love the render and background. Only thing that ruins this signature for me is the transition from the high action background to the transparent background showing off the render. It just doesn't feel fluent. Still Nice work!

Alrighty, I guess I'll put my votes in too


 


1. J-Lord - Simply stunning sig


2. Athena - Overall it's a great sig, but the background(especially toward the right) doesn't really work for the render.


3. Tsukumo - Like the overall poping-out effect you gave to your render. But it would've been better if his foot was inside the sig.


 


Runner ups


4. ParasiteEve - While the sig looks great, the transparency did not work in your favour. Sorry.
