[Vergil the Fallen]

Okay, my vote for Timmeh. Great flow. Simple but its all good.
Axerion- Her sig is way too simple, not credible flow, looks like an ad rather than a sig and the scanlines look totally random.
Kisuke_hc- Its a great sig but no depth. Also the glow circle looks out of place.
sharingan09- its a nice sig but there is no flow there. Like Axerion's, it looks like an ad.Also there is no structure to it that gives its own aura.
Zink- Nice but the only thing that put me off was the right side. Also you made the mistake of leaving some up-flow trails underneath the shoe that negates the required flow effect. The flow should come from the shoe, not the surroundings.

I'll vote. :x Mine goes to Timmeh's.

Well, Vergil has already stated the pros and cons of the signatures, but I guess I'd like to add some of my thoughts as well.

Axerion - like what Vergil has mentioned, it looks like an ad. _-" Ad-looking signatures aren't bad, it's just that you could've added something that makes it different. To be honest, it looks as if you've found a Havaianas picture and cropped the picture into a signature sized one. No offense. I know I've seen those vectors on paper bags or something. No flow, or depth as well.

kisuke_hc - it's a good signature, I can't refute that. But I think that there's too much going on with the signature that makes the people look at the effects rather than the entire signature. It's also focused on the tints and shades of green. Maybe try working with complementary colors, or something like that. And the white circular glow does look out of place. o.o"

sharingan09 - the shoes are white, so I think making the background white is a bad idea. The shoes are hardly seen. o.o" Good choice of colors, though. But... there's simply no flow to it, or depth. I think it would look better if the background was made of a dark color.

Timmeh_PS3 - it's simple. But simple is good, most of the time. Good concept, and the shoes matches the concept well, in my opinion. Pretty good blending, but could still have more depth. Maybe add a little more something to the sides, for as not to look that plain.

zink - good colors, I like it. But usually, when it comes to GFX, it's not only the quality of the render/image that you look into. You should also consider whether or not it has some kind of "movement", because honestly a shoe that just sits there doesn't really appeal. The background is obvious from the shoe, too. Maybe move the shoe to the center as well, because the right side is quite blank. Add more depth... sharpen the shoe, blur the background a bit. Create a flow.

I already decided with Timmeh as soon as I saw his So timmeh it is!

[Pineappledishwasher]

Sharingan, finally a cool "advertisment" sig, Loved Timmeh's, but I loked the colours in Shar's sig O.O

[ichirinx]

its hard to choose between timmeh and kisuke..
but my vote goes to kisuke.. luv the colour mix.. xD

[zangetsuBankai]

my vote goes 2 Kisuke best effects overall

although i do think his sigs are a lil monotone T.T

[rozarazan]

my vote goes to Axy,her colors and idea is amazing imo.

[RazerRD]

Timmeh for sure!
not only do i find it the best by far, but its also exactly the sort of sig i intended to enter with (until ofc i saw hed already done it and entered). i had the exact same idea...cept the From Outer Space bit. flaming shoe was what i was thinking, neva thought about WHY its flaming

effects rule, everything works well. also the effects fit with the render somehow. both the shoe and the effects dnt look fully realistic so it just works together perfectly

[zangetsuBankai]

Timmhe's is pretty ill but the thing that i didnt like was how it looks blurry & i know its suppose 2 illustrate motion but i donno it might have been 2 much blur >.<
