SOTW for Mar 31 - April 6 (Spice and wolf)

**Cowboy Bebop** · Apr 06, 2008, 04:23 PM

This weeks theme was chosen by Zyta, "Spice and wolf." The theme appears to have inspired some really great entries, fine job everyone.

Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry and I suspect that the competition will be a real close one this week.

Total of 10 submissions.

Good luck all!

Shinku's is sexy. I love the color scheme... But the image is a little too... I don't know, plain? Try to make it "busier". Ooh, equinn, yours is pretty... But it's lacking something... Substance? Maybe it's the color scheme. Yeah. Lack of variety. I like the blending effects in Sazzy's, but the grain on her face sort of killed it for me. anime_8000's color scheme didn't go too well together for me... I love fooligar's effects... Always pretty... But I think it needs a border. Same with you, Renn. And the graininess of your image is actually detrimental to its quality... Crimaney, kittypurrrrfect, I love the 3D effects and everything! What program did you use? Simple, but it makes the viewer... what's the word... It's initiating, stimulating, and it's not too busy, either. Oh, and the border, perfect... SasuraiHell, the effects are pleasing, but a robin's egg blue would've gone better than that light fuschia-ish shade in my eyes. homunculous's is a bit too plain. I like the idea, but develop it. I'm actually quite fond of iluvmyloser's. I don't know why. I guess it's the use of pink stuffs and indigo sparkles. But it's lacking dimension...

I'm gonna have to go with kitty's, but I genuinely liked every entry in here.

NO WAY! ^^ I went with SasuraiHell! ^^

I love his better since it has the right texture to me, I love the effect he did in it (The grass! I LOVE THE GRASS IN IT) , and everything else is lovely. ^^ To me nothings wrong with it or anything. ^^ It's AWESOME! XD

My second choice would have been kittypurrrrfect. It is real LOVELY! The apples, the other effects, EVERYTHING FITS PERFECTLY! XD Even that 3D effect as well! Nu. ^^

Oh well but hands down I still go with SasuraiHell so YAH HIM! XD

Good luck to all and hope any will win! ^^

Wow! They were all great entries this time!

I voted for Anime_8000. I saw it and it stood out the most to me. It's really cute too! ^.^

kittypurrrfect and Equinn were my runnerups. Both were also very cute, although I think it was a little too overdone with the effects.

Shinku no kage · Apr 06, 2008, 06:39 PM

Gave my vote to Sasu. Overall I think it was very unique and original.

Saz, fooligar, and kittypurrrrfect's entries were a close second. Saz's unique B&W touch works rather well overall. fooligar just has an amazing BG and kittypurrrrfect's is...well, I just think its "sexy". XD

Creds to Renn for the simple yet lovely sig. I cant wait to see her improve even more in the future.

~good luck to all

Yes, I admit, I did like Sasurai's texture a little better than kitty's effects... And I did fall in love with that one's grass, too... But really, the fuschia killed it for me. Colors like that give me headaches for some reason...

This is actually the most difficult SOTW I've seen... Difficult, as in voting. If I could give votes to multiple people then I'd've given votes to pretty much everyone.

Ah I see......... ^^ Oh well you have your opinions and reasons as I have mine. LOL ^^

And ya. If I could give multiple votes I would have voted for almost everyone for their astonishing WORK! XD Since I can tell they did so much work for this SOTW. ^^ It makes me happy looking over these SOTW entries! ^^

I was really going for the brown background but I guess gold isn't bad either.But I had to vote for fooligar the background effects just simply amazed me.
My runner-ups were: Shinku no Kage and Equinn they both had a calm feeling to them.

abby724 · Apr 08, 2008, 10:43 PM

Yes, I've finally figured out what didn't click with me on fooligar's entry!

The bg is awesome, as always... Same with the random eye... I'd pay to have a shirt designed by him with the same style. Definitely could've won my vote on a coin toss between kitty's if Holo wasn't placed almost directly in the center of the image... Move her to the right a little more... It makes, err, elongated? rectangualar images more exciting if the subject isn't placed directly in the center.

Alright, I haven't been a member for a long time, but of all the SOTWs I've seen, I think this one caused the most widespread and intense nosebleeds among the community. ...Or is that another one of my misjudgements and/or delusions? Yes, I guess there really are only two entries that'd do something like that, but still...
