Made by our very own judge, Jaden! (hah, I told you you all stood no chance)

Congratulations! :P

Judges' Comments:

    For anyone thinking of making a signature like this in future, several judges agreed with this:
    "Is it just me or does Jessica Alba not look very flattering in this picture? Her face is more heavily lightened than her chest. So, it's like the person who made this sig wants to uh..focus on her chest? I think that if people want to include gorgeous celebrities in their signatures, make them look beautiful so you get the vote of the females AND the males.. she just looks a little.. slutty to me. In terms of overall craftsmanship though, it's alright. Nothing that stands out that much."

    Mixed comments - you know what they are, Connor, thankfully I don't have to rewrite them.. :roll: In short one of the main points (in this case) was to keep the focus on the render. The colours distracted a bit from this, and the hand was smudged where it should have been left alone to allow it to be focused on.

    "Looks exactly how a good sig ought to look. There's a nice defined border, a nice little reflection decoration, and the whole thing has a lot of depth with the light and shading." ~MQ

    Cool concept, but this would probably look better on a larger canvas; it doesn't really fit into just a little signature. :P The water (and maybe fish) could then instead be made from stock photos to improve the quality, as it looks a bit cartoony at the moment.

    "Too plain, as said by ____ and ____. There definitely could have been more effects to it instead of just brushing. More of a contrast between darkness and light would have been interesting to see, or at least something that reflects the meaning of the text more."
    The inclusion of a render would make this sig a bit more interesting. Otherwise, it looks good, but it's not as eye-catching as it could be. :)

Let's hope my [/list] doesn't mess up this time.

Judge's comments are new lol. Maybe they'd be better if the first wasn't so biased it made my eyes bleed. Grats Jaden, your sig was the better of the lot. ;D

I don't see how my comment was biased in the least. I gave examples to back up my statement and if you have a problem with that, perhaps you should PM me instead of childishly posting here. :)

I'm not being childish nor did I know you posted that comment :o
I was just pointing out that judging a signature on personal taste is biased and certainly unfair. ^_^

Thanks for your opinion. As I said, I gave other stylistic reasons as to why I said what I said. Please refer to those before posting nonsense.

No, actually, all you've mentioned in there is how you dislike the signature because the focus is on the breasts and it's depicting what the signature creator thinks is a hot woman. In fact, you've actually said there that there's nothing wrong with it except that you're not attracted to it BECAUSE of those reasons. XD

Now, instead of letting things get out of hand like they normally would, I'll let you have your "last word" and I'll stfu. But tbh, I think he deserves more credit than that. Guess that's just me though. =D>

I said it was nothing special. As a judge, I'm here to give my opinion on signatures as well as judge them based on their craftsmanship. If you have a problem with that, talk to Shane. And thank you for the "last word", but I was originally asking that you PM me instead.

I bet if it was a guy commenting on that sig, it'd be totally different. xD

Anyways, conrgats Jaden, that's a fabulous sig.

Post subject:  Re: Week 142 Winner
But isn't judging a signature based on your own personal opinion exactly what you're supposed to do?
Other judges explicitly agreed with MQ's comments, anyway, so it's not just her you should be giving the blame. Daniel's sig was outnumbered in votes, fair and square. ;)

No, I agree with MQ. I don't find her attractive in this signature.

Congrats Jaden, you deserved to win this week. :)
