NLSC Sig League - Week 2 Submissions. Vote Now!

[J@3]

Another week and the sig quality is even better, we have no one to boo this week and cyanide has taken GOAT's place in the competition. Same rules, just incase you forgot:

HOW THE VOTING WORKS

You PM me with the following details for every matchup that you're not involved in. Example:

Matchup: Wankster vs nbalive744
Winner: nbalive744
Comments: Both sucked but I felt nbalive744 didn't do his by controlling the mouse with his tongue.

It's that simple. Try to get the votes in as quickly as you can so we can move on to next round.

Also, remember that if you're not in the sig league, you can't vote this way...

FOR THE PUBLIC

Vote on which sig you thought was the best overall.

In the next post I'll post all of the entries.

I couldn't make a graphic out of the Null/Jugs match-up because Jugs is animated/huge.

NEW THING

A new addition to the voting:

When you vote, can you vote on the "Match-Up Of The Week'... which is basically the best match-up of the week, funnily enough. I'll PM myself my votes now.

vs

JUGS











CROSS CONFERENCE MATCH-UP

[Axel]

Damn, these sigs are so much better than last time... I liked all of them.

I'll post some comments later if I can... weather permitting. Supposedly we're under a tornado watch

[KIG1]

Hahaha, I laughed when I saw the Allan Houston sig from Jugs. Creativity, so it got my vote.

[J@3]

I can't see the freaking vote unless I vote it worked last week

[cklitsie]

I like how most people just tried to make a good sig and not get easy votes by making fun of the Knicks.
Jugs should be able to compensate through that though, but I'm really wondering: why is Houston only on a $5 bill and what does Isiah have to do with his bad contract?

[Colin]

First of all, if anybody happens to want to use my sig here. A smaller version can be found here
I'll make my votes here public just to give that whole c&c aspect.

Cable Guy vs. Cklitsie

First of all this is the matchup of the week. They aren't the best sigs out of the lot, but they're the closest. They're also very different stylistically. I like what CG has done to the Knicks logo with that faint red in the background, but I don't like how bright the building on the right is. It's kind of distracting to have on the far side like that. CK, love the text. The text in the box look is so simple, yet it's forgotten about all the time and somehow is original. The background is very flat though, and while it creates a little contrast. I still think it could've been better.

I really don't know who to vote for here. Can I give a half vote to each?

Null vs. Jugs
Null
It's just a logo, but it turned out cool because of the GREAT lighting job you have done. And good implementation of the text. Jugs' is kind of funny, but not that funny.

I vote for ME! Me <3 the lighting I got.
But about Axel's. Nice choice of pictures, and a good job blending them to the background. But the background itself is lackluster. It's flat and the colouring doesn't work very well. Especially where it gets kind of blue by LB. The font choice is very nice (which font is that?), but the placement could be better.

Black Death vs. Cyanide
Cyanide
BD's is kind of bland. Text seems very rushed and doesn't fit the 'Blueprint' scheme. Also, calling this team a blueprint is dubious. Best case scenario it doesn't collapse until the 4th story is completed. On the other hand everything Cy has going fits very well. Other than maybe the regular font in 'the pain of marbury'. Nice job on the 'ripping' of all the edges too. I've been looking for a good technique on that. I think I sort of see what you did, but if you wanted to PM me that would be great.

Jae vs. Peachy
Jae
Peachy's looks cool, but I've seen that sig a million times before. And the pattern overlay really flattens the sig. Jae did a nice job emulating the Sin City style. Bonus points for only having a very faint scratch brush. Way to not rely on it!

Great comp this week.

[Null17]

Wow. Definitely better than the last time. People have become rather creative. Except for me. After seeing the other stuff, I felt like I gave a half-assed effort And why didn't me and Jugs get one of those border thingies?

Edit: Oh wait, nevermind. Didn't read the entire first post

[Jing]

wow some very nicetop notched stuff.

[Jackal]

Eee, I's going to vote/comment after work, don't close the voting!

[peaches]

Very nice work fellas, nlsc has some talent.
Everyone was so creative and mine gets shitted on by everyone.
O wells..i wanted my votes pub;ic as well.

::Match of the round::

TBD v Cyanide
Woah, imo best matchup. Cy's is the shit, its heaps creative and has a humour touch to it..the whole thing looked awesome. TBD's was missing something i cant put my finger on. It does look pretty nice aswell.

Null17 v Jugs
Nulls colours/lighting looked awesome which made up for it looking so bland. Jugs was unique but i still dont get why Isiah is there.

Cableguy v Cklitsie
Ck's is plain better imo.

Axel v Colin
Colins looks kickass. The lighting and the picture looks perfect.
Axels colours look weird to me but it was fair nice too.


Jae, i shoulda kept my mouth shut now im the one guarenteed a loss.

Overall awesome job everyone!

[J@3]

Jae, i shoulda kept my mouth shut now im the one guarenteed a loss.

Don't speak too early, you're even winning the public vote.

[peaches]

At least it'll be competitive The race is on..
And people if your gonna vote, elaborate more so the competitiors know what their doing right. It's awesome getting feedback, good or bad. We'll only improve through that.

Edit: Wheres dada..and jackal?

[J@3]

I think Axel's unfortunate this round, his sig is great but Colin's (IMO) is the best of the lot. Probably would've beaten anyone else.

I like how most people just tried to make a good sig and not get easy votes by making fun of the Knicks.

The filename of Colin's is "knickssuck"

[peaches]

Cy's is the best for me. It's weird cause TBD did a kinda thing like that for his dynasty.

[Colin]

^^ahem...that should be knickssuck-v2.jpg

edit: And Peachy, a 'collage' idea with tape is nothing new. But few pull it off nicely. Cy did. Once again, nice work.

[Jugs]

Jae told me to put Isiah Thomas there so it is all his fault.

I couldn't get my creative vibe going this week so I don't mind if I get ripped again. Props to null for trying.

[J@3]

Did I tell you to put Isiah in or did I just say to make him pop up like that?

[Jugs]

*Goes to Chat Log*

[08:58:50 PM] Jae: lol6 thats pretty good
[08:59:06 PM] Jae: i dont know what you could do with it
[08:59:53 PM] jugs: it didnt really take much effort

[09:01:26 PM] jugs: omg
[09:01:30 PM] jugs: im gonna do that

[[Q]]

Jugs hands down. the Allan Houston idea was great, but the little Zeke popping up sealed the deal. I have Axel at a close 2nd.

[dada]

CYANIDE
I think his was the best. love the scrapbook feel to it.

Colin was a veeeeery close second. It actually makes Marbury look like a good player. then I read the "Rotten Apple"...

[Axel]

I think Axel's unfortunate this round, his sig is great but Colin's (IMO) is the best of the lot. Probably would've beaten anyone else.

oh well... I was just thinking about that too. I lost to the best sig overall last time I guess eventually I'll get a break.

[Cable]

Wow, we did a great job this week. I'll get my votes in later today, but I voted for Colin's overall. The lighting and the way he made Marbury look 3-D, I'm just amazed.

Don't you guys hate it when you look at your own compared to the others, and then you see all the faults in yours, and what you should have done/added to it?

[zmac]

Wow great shit guys, all of them are nice, tough tough choice.
Id have to go with.....Peachy's. I just really like the flame look.

[Null17]

fuck it. now i'm the only one without a vote in the poll

I hope I can still win the real voting thingie within the members of the league
