Finally voting time.

I'm voting for Kaiserhawk because his sig is hilarious. He did a great job with the comic book text, and the overall cropping. The pattern in the background is a bit weak though, I'm not really feeling it.

The background wasn't what had originally intended to be. But after I while i just said fuck it and did something uber generic

You should've put a snazzy white 'comic' border around it so it looked like he was coming out of a comic panel. That would've looked awesome. You could've even singed the edges of the white border and shit to make it look like he burned it.

I'l have to how people vote. If one of the PNG's win, I will have to create one next time. I purposely created mine more vintage style so it would stand out. I could tell there would be many PNG's

I'l have to see what the people want.

salv you get my vote.

I'l go for Snake91. My reasoning isn't much more other than when I look at all the entries, his just feels right.

I want to point out that I like all of them, and that it's a tough decision. I think next time, we should have the entries be posted with the stock image that was used as the base. I was going to vote for Furia for example, but I don't know how much of it was his work, or PNG's just layered on top of eachother, see what I mean? By submitting the base we used, it's easy to tell how much work went into each.

Furia - Wow. I have no idea what I'm looking at here, but damn...don't it look pretty. Seriously, the one thing that draws this back for me...is that I have no idea what it is or what game its from. All the other sigs have some way of communicating the game they are representing and this one didn't. Aside from that. Bravo.

I was trying to put it together to convey the story and motivation behind the game's hero; Shinra.

I've never played City of Heroes...but I totally knew that was what Kaiserhawk's was because he made it pretty obvious.

Ikaruga had a story?

Several years ago in the small island nation of Horai, one of the most powerful men of the nation, Tenro Horai, discovered the Ubusunagami Okinokai—the Power of the Gods. This energy emanated from an object he dug up from deep underground and granted him unimaginable powers. Soon after, Tenro and his followers, who called themselves "The Divine Ones", began conquering nations one after another. "The Chosen People" carried out these conquests in "the name of peace".

Meanwhile, a freedom federation called Tenkaku emerged to challenge Horai. Using fighter planes called Hitekkai, they fought with the hope of freeing the world from the grips of the Horai - but all their efforts were in vain. They were no match for the Horai and were eventually almost completely wiped out. Miraculously, however, one young man survived. His name was Shinra.

Shot down near a remote village called Ikaruga, inhabited by elderly people who had been exiled by the Horai's conquests, Shinra was dragged from the wreckage and nursed back to health. Shinra regained his health and pledged to defeat the Horai, and the villagers entrusted him with a fighter plane that they had built themselves, called the Ikaruga.

The Ikaruga was no ordinary plane, designed by former engineering genius Amanai with the help of Kazamori and the village leaders. Hidden in a secret underground bunker and launched via the transportation device called the "Sword of Acala", it is the first fighter built that integrates both energy polarities, and is capable of successfully switching between the two.

But seriously...don't get discouraged. I look forward to your future work!
