Anybody want to vote?

Vote: egbakaet

egbakaet: Your could be improved, but out of the two images, i found yours better. The background is alright, not to fond of all the red though, but the effect is nice, thats what drew me in; that and the text. Love the text.

angeloffire83: Though i like your background effect, the text really turned me off. Im not to fond of the green glow and the font, but everything else is nice. It was close IMO.

Reasoning:

egbakaet:

I like your banner, it has a great sense of style. The radioactive logo in the center is a nice touch, it works well as a central focus for the image. The electric looking effect coming outwards from it also adds a real feeling of lightning etc, which is good, because that's the theme of the battle. The text in the top right corner is very cool, I like the angle it's at, and I also like the effect you added to it. The text in the lower right hand corner isn't as good unfortunatley, it's hard to read, and detracts from the image a bit. My only suggestions would be to work on your text, and possibly try to have more of an array of colours to add interest in future pieces. Really good job on this one though.

Angel of Fire:

This is a cool idea for a banner, but I think you need to work on your image style a bit. The pink is cool, but the other colours don't really go along with it. The black text is rather plain, and the blue glow around the text doesn't really work with the pink at all. The lightning effects are very cool, but are almost overpowering. A good try, I'm sure you'll keep improving.

Good job to both of you. =)

[egbakaet :D]

Ok thanks Aphotic! 2-0 first to five? ;D

my vote is to eg becuase and only becuase all angel of fire did was basically took a bunch of filters and put them altogether you need to take time in ur work. Also eg ur text colors clash with bground color u might wanna fix it

[egbakaet :D]

Ok, thanks for the vote. 3-0, anyone else?

[Gojiita]

Vote: Egbakaet.

Truthfully, neither of the pieces really caught my eye. But, I did prefer Eg's over Angel's. The colours, as mentioned by someone above do clash a lot in Egbakaet's, but pull off a half-try at a grunge piece, which is why it caught my attention. Angel's looks a really too simple work along with an unlucky choice of over-used font took her(?) out of the running, for me, sorry.

[egbakaet :D]

Definately not one of my best pieces. 4-0, any others?

[@ngeloffire83]

i think we can just go ahead and dub you winner....

My vote also goes to Egg. I liked the stock a bit more, and the colors looked a bit better imo. The bg looks good too, nice texture. I like the text as well.

Good battle, you 2!
