Wow. I like the first one better. The second one...Spiderman seems to be standing on space. Plus the cutting is kinda bad on that one. Entry 1.
you can see pixels around spidey number 2. Number one looks great though
number 1
I have to vote for Entry 1. It looks a lot better than the second.
i vote for ENTRY 1, entry 2 looks like something you would see in the show between seens, entry 1 is much clearer and has more depth and is more realistic.
GMV to Entry 1. A good smudge with good render placement. Good light source on the renders face. But I think its missing something. Requires a few effects, such as gradient maps, c4ds, photo filters, etc.

Entry 2 seems to be a badly cut render put onto a background C4d. i think this user seems to misunderstand the uses of C4Ds
Entry 1. Entry 2's render has bad cutting, and the text kind of ruins it. :\ The first entry has a lot more depth as well.
1. looks realistic
2. bad cutting and inappropriate text

GMV to 1. Grin
1 gmv the render placement is good but scale it down a bit it take too much space the effects are okay but it needs more depth blur the part with the spider the lower part there's no light source and it needs more flow the smudging thing is getting quite repetitive and smart sharpen Spiderman for a more realistic looking tag next time try using a stock(such as a place like a city) to create a "scene" and lastly try more adjustment layers for better colors and try a High pass filter on soft light with a 10% opacity.
2 is LQ as hell the background doesn't interact with the render at all thus no blending it seems very unrealistic and the render is quite small there is too much negative space and the text is very bland and is too large and the rendering is terrible leaving white outlines.
Taj and JCx gmv means "got my vote" so using it as "GMV to 1" means got my vote to one so im just correcting no offense.
I vote For Entry 2 cause i liked its look while i dont like the effects and smudging in entry 1 so my vote goes to Entry 2
Obviously ENTRY 1. Good lighting effects, blending, cutting, as well as the awesome background.

Entry 2 is just... A badly cut render put on a stock background with random text slapped on.

@ Beyboost: Stop just getting revenge on you-know-who. it's kind of obviuos that the first entry is better.
What? I dont like the type of effects which are in Entry 1 so i voted for entry 2 (sorry for off-topic or spam)

There is no effects whatsoever in E1.If you vote E2,obviously you are (smarter) than other better GFX'er.Sarcasm intended.Obviously,you like a signature that is rendered badly.I don't mind.
I vote for entry 1 cause the baground is nice created with smudge
CRUelty,you should edit the OP.

The blending in entry 1 is very good I vote for 1
I vote Entry 1 Its nice made with smudge and render
How anyone could vote for entry 2 here astounds me...

Entry 1.
He just wants revenge on me.Get it?I don't mind.
You graphics guys have that kinda drama going on? Wow, people are pathetic.

That said, maybe he just has really poor taste and no sense of aesthetics? I mean: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-BEYBOOST...ture-store

:\

I'm sorry, I really, really don't see how number two could strike anyone as anything other than awkward and badly composed. Sorry, whoever made it, but you really, really need to work on it...
I don't mind.I noe pathetic,I goe to other forums also.You probably know who made the second one.
Of course, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who doesn't.

I really feel that these "battles" need to be kept more... anonymous.

Someone should come up with a system so the voters don't know who either of the entrants are, like, they just get two images, no "Person 1 vs Person 2" stuff.
The difference of graphics quality kinda makes it non-anonymous.Meh.Unless you mean polls,they suck.Why?The person could have made a fake account and vote himself.
I mean, the threads have been created, but instead of an entrants name or whatever, they just say round one GFX battle 1 (or 2, or 3)

Theme: Whatever

Sig 1

Sig 2

The organiser keeps track of who made each sig, but the public are not made aware of even who is competing in each battle.

That way it should be fairly obvious if someone is getting their friends to vote for them, as their friends should not know which one they are in, let alone which sig they made, and revenge voting would be much more difficult.
I could have sworn I won this,no?
