I wanted to clarify something about this theme, it can be musicians of any kind, like from an anime/movie/video game, etc. But it's not limited to irl ones.

Okay bank sig time, in case I can't think of anything better later.

Theme: Sci-Fi Movies

Syo Kurusu is an idol from Uta no Prince-sama. Let me know if that doesn't count. D:

I'm happy we have so many entries for this week so early in the contest.  It has inspired me to up my game and chose a actual person for my sig.    SO many good entries...it will be close.  Great job everyone.

Votes

poetictagedy:

(+) Great colors, cute border, really nice placing on the render and THAT LITTLE GIF HEART IT THE BEST.

(-) I don't know how you did that cool heart thing and I don't like that xD
 

Athena:

(+) Used a real person, pretty colors.

(-) The glitter lighting on her face and neck look off, Your border while it looks nice also looks squished down to fit the size of the sig and I think adding a blur to some of your brush work would have given it a little depth.

Rockman X:

(+) Used real people, minimalistic, love the rainbow look, good render placing.

(-) I think a touch of fog or smoke would have looked nice with them, just to give it another added touch.

-------------------------------

Runner Up

-------------------------------

 

 Tsukumo Yuma:
(+) Cute, fun background, font works well with sig.
(-) Render looks very low quality, doesn't blend very well with the background and having a border the same color as the background can sometimes make it look like the render isn't placed correctly

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's witchcraft. Like, 95% certain.

ParasiteEve - it was really good and flashy, it felt like a b-dazzle party, and the backround makes it look like she has a peacock tail

Athena

poetictragedy - even though I liked the movement, the sig itself felt like it was missing something
