If you are talking about the color in my sigs, than yeah, some of them tend to have a unifying color. It gives them unity. But I also do several sigs that have varying colors. It just depends. I thought that the vampire girl blended well in the purple.

And no other color would fit in heroic. He and his fire are orange.

Seriously, though, Null, do you think I should redo the vampiress sig? I really like the render and I want to use it, but I want to use it well. Just tell me what you think is wrong, and I'll compromise. Can't promise to change everything, because it's my art.

Oh, and I love the new render you are using in your current sig.

*edit*
And she was a vampire in the original pic as well. But there are some vampires girls I would do.

i dont mind how it looks in the sig. i dont really like her tho. lol


as far as the total sig tho, the name down there by itself, and a bit hard to read bugs me slightly. but sig is fine really. the girl kinda creeps me out. looks like she's she's starving,

Ok. I knew the font wasn't good, so that doesn't bother me. I've been trying to think of a way to fix it. I'll think of something. The reason I made it so faint was because I didn't want a lot of focus on my name.

And the girl freaks you out? lol. Oh well. I like her. Can't really change that opinion, so I'll leave it as is until I come up with a font solution.

So riflemen are your favorite WC unit, Null?

Edit:Hey, I just noticed Null is using a monochromatic theme also. Since Vampyr and Null are using that style, I think I will too.

And back on topic, 4 of the 5 panelists have responded. I'm just waiting for one more before the winner is announced.

Isn't there some sort of Judging Panel Light Beacon you can activate?

Ladies and gentlemen, the panelists have all responded and it is now time to announce the winner of our very first Digital Art Battle.

As we gather here today to congratulate both our winner and loser for a good battle, please remember that these judgments rest soley on the pieces submitted today and the outcome of this event does reflect your total talent.

I would like to thank our two contestants, Kyuzo and Vampyr for their effort and work. You both are exceptional artists who will do many great things in your lives. You will forever be remembered as GameTavern's first two warriors in the Digital Art Battles.

I'd also like to thank the Royal Panel for their critiques and participation. And now the moment we've been waitingfor. We'll first begin by posting each Royal Panelist's decision and closing comments:

Judgement One:

i would have to choose vampyr's work "Heroic".

it has the look of a professionally designed graphic, although there's something about the font that doesn't seem to fit. i really like the colour and brush choices.

the colouring of kyuzo's work doesn't fit the central graphic. i'm also not a big fan of the grungey brush used in the background... *shrug*

Judgement Two:

My choice is Heroic by Vampyr. My comments: Great piece done. Really shows out The Human Torch. Nice brushing and other things used. I only have a few minor minor things. Its bright for a reason but maybe a little too bright. More flames would be nice. But those are minor complaints to a great piece.

But overall, a really well done piece.

Comments to Kyuzo's Meteor Rain: Very nicely done also. It really shows the 'pain' seen in the image to the lower left of the picture. Lighting, brightness, etc..done really well. I just felt more 'pulled in' by Vampyr's.

Overall: Really nice job done you 2. Very excellent pieces.

Judgement Three:

Choose Vampyr's work, Heroic.

I like Vampyr's work because it thrives for something original - something interesting to the eye. The strokes all around the Torch are fun to look at. I would've chosen Kyuzo's piece but I have seen a lot of other pieces like it.

Judgement Four

i would pick Kyuzo's FF:AC picure because it's not as random as Vamp's and it's easier on the eyes...for me.

also i like the theme and the colours he used for the theme.

looks more organized, yet simple...which isn't always bad.

you can go ahead and say i said that

Judgement Five

I pick Kyuzo because it has a better sense of space. The ff logo, the picture, and the honeycomb graphic create a triangle that makes the viewer scan the whole image. Vampyr's was flashy but I just didn't like the page's layout. Given the content of the image I think he could have expanded it quite a bit more instead of just having a centered image on a nice flashy background.

Final Score:

Vampyr: 3
Kyuzo: 2

There being no further business, it is my duty to announce Vampyr as the winner.

Congratulations Vampyr and Kyuzo for your great work and efforts!

I would now like both contestants to give a speech.
