Sotw2 Voting

[Mystik]

Ok we only had two entries for SOTW2 but they both were awesome entries. This theme was photo manipulation where they took more then one pic and put them all together to make one sig. Click the link below to see an example of it and what they did.

Ok both sigs were really good.. but i voted for Kina with her use of colors and the way she combined pictures and the c4d's and all the colors is just to awesome. Nice job to you both.

Kina gmv. I almost shat my pants when i saw it. the colors are nice. The effect she did with the c4d's was amazing.

Uumm. This is a bit over my head, but I dont know how to vote. I love what Kina did with what she added to her picture, but I like how Karin's picture looks like an actual picture that was taken. Looks like each went a completely different route with their pictures.

Damn, this was hard. However I voted for kinas because man, those c4d's combined with the photomanipulation there. Very nice, It even has a flow to it lol, but thats not why i voted for it. It just looks damn awesome, however congrats to both, shit as eighty said, Karin's was carefully done, looks like a straigh up picture.

I voted for Kina in a close call, i like the photo manipulation in Karin's as it was said earlier it looks just like a picture and you wouldn't know it's multiple pics w/o being told, whereas Kina's had more flow with the effects and i was just wowed by how effectively the piece flowed with those effects.

Good job to both

Karin. Neat looking.
Kina, looks cool but the colours are an eyesore at parts.

This really was a difficult choice. Both of them look awesome and both are well done, albeit in different methods. For that reason, I am judging by the base criteria of this contest alone which was photo manipulation.

The thing is, it's just that, photos...I like what Kina has done, but it's not the all out photo manipulation like I think most people thought of when seeing the theme. C4Ds and such are nice and all, but they aren't exactly photos either. They aren't even basic art to be honest. At least not to me. They're pretty much pre-arraged images made to be used in projects, sigs, etc.

I love what you did Kina, I really do. But overall, it's not the clean cut feel of photo manipulation for the simple fact that, with one look, you'd know it was manipulated greatly. To me, that seems counter-productive to the goal of this theme.

Whereas on the other hand, Karin's, as a number of people have said, you wouldn't even be able to tell that it's been manipulated in any way, shape, or form. Even if it was chaotic by nature, like the sitting orc in the original example, it still has the same clean feeling. That seems to fit the criteria and goal above all else.

Just the two cents of a newb.


















God I hate judging things >_< Seriously, awesome pros to both of you.
