Misc rules:
-Sig must be made during the open time of the contest *on the honor system for the most part*

-Provide viable reasons with your vote when the voting starts or it won't count. (An attempt to keep down fanboying the character. Viable reasons are reasons pertaining to the composition of the sig not just the render. Being innovative when fitting a theme can also be a viable reason.)

Voting for Aids.
Ferret
Not know what photoshop experience it has had it's a pretty good attempt. The main problem I had with it is that anytime you use a stroke you kill blending which is fine in some scenarios, but I didn't feel like it worked for this particular one. It also seemed a little copy and paste with the fractals which also turned me off
Dwlr
N/A
ZomB
Aside from the use of a sky like background be 'obvious' it has some blending attempts on it and the colors fit well. Compositionally I felt it was lacking a bit of activity which could have made it better IMO, also the rule of thirds places the focal at an odd point IMO. (seems to be focusing on the right eye)

Zomb

Re: Sig of the Week #1
Personally I thought the clouds made a better background for this render than some of the other stuff I tried but whatever.
Anyway I vote for Dwlr because the blending is nice leaving no clear evidence that its not actually just 1 pic cropped so the flow of the image looks really nice. I also like the lighting affect its hard to explain but i guess it just seems like the lighting is in the right spot/intensity.
Ferret's doesn't have any blending and that bothers me a little and a couple spots in the background look like there is a line because of a complete split in the lighting from one pixel to the next. Altogether it seems like a good attempt not knowing his previous experience making banners.

Re: Sig of the Week #1
My vote goes to ZomB because I like his choice of colors and his sig allows more to look at and enjoy. It makes children smile too.

Re: Sig of the Week #1
I voted for Zomb
The light blue background and clouds look really good with the render and seems to blend well. Its a simple background but you can see more of it without most of the banner being the background and it doesn't take your eyes away from the render.
