How many Janemba pictures can you find?

Nvm.. He said no.

[Alura]

Jan, this isn't a tournament for you to get a sig, okay? If they let you use the sig after, sure, but for now just stop

We are trying to play a game, not make you a sig.

Not required by Burter above but will include how it ties into theme:

The above signature ties into the theme of 'Underworld' based on a few ways. Most notably is the picture used of Janemba. It clearly shows the torrment and struggle that one would have placed upon them while in the Underworld. His entire being is screaming in unimaginable pain. Second would be the text used and the appearance it gives off. To me, when I look at the text, it shows some brokeness. The same kind that would happen to something after enduring for so long. Still entact yet not what it once was. Lastly we have the background. This was hard to tie into the theme just because the opinion will vary so much. However, when I look I see the blood red background of the previously victims. Blackness throughout creates the pull into the Underworld and just the general feel it gives off. Also the variant diagnal lines used help to take away from a colorful thing to more of a wasteworld by how it interupts some of the flowing parts.

The sig, itself, is very good. Th ebackground really does tie into teh theme for me, along with the font. The pic does not seem to really fit it, as I see he is just in the midst of a battle, but overall it is excellent and fits into the theme very well. This will be hard to beat in my eyes.

Just thought I would make a suggestion for future rounds of the sig tourny (granted, I don't know how many are left): I think it would even things out a little bit if the contestants PMed Burter their sigs and then, once everyone had turned theirs in, Burter posts all of 'em at once.

Just a thought.

Although Rildo's is a bit more eye-catching, Kid Buu created a much more 'professional' appearance that remained perfectly true to the theme, and that appeals to me a lot more than flashy brushes and stuff.

Unfortunately, Pan's sig lagged behind both of them (in my opinion), which put KB in the lead.

+1 vote Kid Buu

Not one to be outdone, I will explain mine as well.

To some, "underworld" means fire and brimstone, blood, all that stuff. Personally when I hear "underworld", I think of darkness, cold, and eternal night. The pale bluish background symbolizes this darkness. The evil-looking picture of Janemba depicts him in a state of power, and meshes with the background, suggesting that his power is of the darkest and most negative of energies.

I will have to go with Pan, fo rthis one. He upped this one. It was really close for me, as they both seem to capture the theme so perfectly, but Pan's has more of an "in-the-motion" look, like Janemba will just pop up at you. I vote dnow because I won't be on to vote until I don't know when.

Kid Buu


OR

Pan


OR

Rildo


If your in the tournament, do not vote.

My vote: Rildo. Without a doubt completely outdid himself once again and brought the whole theme together.

0-0-1 for Rildo, votes after this now count

[Toshiro]

Holy shit.. They are all so good..

My vote is tied between both Pan & Rildo.

Both portray a sense of darkness & forbodding. They also give off a nice essence of hell, showing that a demon can both have the pain (Rildo's) & the power (Pan's) to be there. But if I had to button down my vote in to a single one?



Ridlo's.

His sig give's more of a firey flame, & I love the shading on Janemba. Although Pan's gave a diffrent representation of hell, the background sort of blend's around Janemba abit to much for my liking, where as Rildo's bring's Jan in to a sort of world of his own with it.

[Zarbon]

Rildo. It seems to fit the theme well, and seems much better then the others in shading. Plus I wuv the background.

[Tamsin]

Rildo. It fits the theme and it looks very high quality. Also the light on Janemba looks very good.
