Well I'll lend my support to this thread as well. Since I said so much on each one I made sure to the names of those where my vote went. Just as a precaution.
Best Render: I'll pass giving judgement here. I am unsure exactly what is meant by. I'll edit in a decision should I learn enough to vote on this category.
Best Blended: Here I can give some judgement. Many people blended pretty well. However, I will stick with Omnislasher Draco and award my vote to Spiffing Cheese; with honorable mention going to Owen Macwere and Ramza Beoulve.
Best Background: Here I aggree with Leeza, Owen Macwere definately had a neat background compared to the rest. Though Voodoochild and Genji get some honorable mention in this category.
Best Text-Shape: Really, is there any contest? Voodoochild took the cake with this one. Actually I am curious, what text is it Voodoochild used?
Funniest: Once again I will pass. I am a sticklier I guess, but none of them appealed to my sense of humour.
Best Overall: Do I have to pick one? I do? Alright. Of these I feel the best ones were made by Owen Macwere, Genji, Voodoochild, Spiffing Cheese, and Ramza Beoulve. With a bit of deliberation I can take down Spiffing Cheese because it just feels a tad plain/empty to me. Genji, while I love the use of the transparency, is just not quite to par with the others in many areas(imo of course). Ramza Beoulve, while I once again love the transparancy, just doesn't have the isn't 'strong' enough for my tastes.
This leaves Owen Macrwere and Voodoochild. Which is tough. Real tough. However, I like the style of Voodoochild's more; thus Voodoochild will recieve my vote on this one.
Now lets see if any other lazy bums will get off thier butts and vote(or better yet vote while on thier butts).
