Sig of the Week 6 (Dio)

This weeks SotW is being put up early due to its theme. Ronnie James Dio would have been 68 years old today but sadly he died of cancer back in May. In honor of his great career in metal music this week's theme is for him. R.I.P. Dio.

Theme: Ronnie James Dio (if you don't know him just google him)
Date ending: Friday midnight (EST)
Poll closing: Sunday midnight (EST)
Size max: 500 x 200 px
Size min: 200 x 100 px or 100 x 200

Misc rules:
-Sig must be made during the open time of the contest *on the honor system for the most part*
-1 entry per person
-Max file size: 1mb (pretty much only applies to animated entries so as to not enter ridiculously large images that would bog down some computers.)
-Winner picks the theme of the next SotW (special circumstances may apply such as holidays)
*Winner has untill midnight of the following day after the poll ends to submit the new theme to ensure enough time is given*
-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.)
-Avoid voting for yourself and if you entered something try to cast a vote to be 'fair'

You don't have to wait until Sunday to make your entry.

My entry

The voting has started.

*REMEMBER* the poll will not be up so don't ask for it. We're cutting away the lazy poll votes without a response because they don't count anyway so people were just wasting time by voting in the poll and not the posts.

Good Luck to all the entrants.

Voting 4 Dwlr cuz his is purty and displays good use of the pen tool.

Vote goes to Zomb

It "flows" well, and looks the most "dramatic" to me.

Voting for Dwlr, it looks the most natural and has good contrast. Orange did pretty good too.

im not familiar with any artistic terms so ill have to go with a noobie explanation i vote for dwlr cuz he looks like hes actually there and he blends in the sig i guess its the contrast but um he also looks very satan like and that efing badass!!!!

I vote for dwlr becuz his blends good

Dwlr, again, has done a very nice job :I
It blends well and Dio looks the most epic.

My vote is for Alison this week, pretty good smudging for blending except you missed a spot up top on both sides of him.

My vote goes to Alison. Dwlr did a good job this week but there is something to be said about improvement. Alison's blending is much better this week and the background is more appealing than previous banners as well.

I'm also voting for Alison. Like Zomb said shes improved from her previous entries and although the blending isn't perfect you did a good job this week.
