Sig of the week-week twenty one voting

[Roche178]

The entries have been collected and it's now time for the voting. To make your vote post in this thread stating which you believe is the best signature and your reasons why.

So why am I not using a poll? Well there are two answers
• Firstly I want to ensure the voting is based solely on the quality of the sigs and not have the voting turn into a popularity contest. You must provide a valid reason with your vote based on the properties of the signature. Any vote without a reason will be disregarded.
• Secondly the poll system on the forum can only have ten options. There are always more than 10 entries and this is the best solution as far as I'm concerned.
If you have entered the contest you are free to vote, but naturally you may not vote for yourself.
The theme this week was History
Here are the entries:

Lockdown


Dontknowme42


Jpec07


Actually cool


Garsykat19


IxGUNxSLINGERxI


Monsta Masha


Draxfear


Shade117 pro


Warlord Alpha

To clarify:
• You must post your vote and a valid reason for this vote.
• Votes based on the quality of the band or artist on the sig will be disregarded.
• Votes based on how cool the creator is will be disregarded.
• Votes with no reason at all will be disregarded.

Let the voting commence

I must say, the entries this week were rather poor. I am going to have to go with

IxGUNxSLINGERxI

his was the only one that showed true effort, plus it looks great. That image of a man in a trenchcoat keeps popping into my mind all the time. i love the colors too

Jpec

My vote shoots out to him because he took me by surprise. He won my vote easily, yet I had much debate of what to actually write here. So, its simple, and it represents what I truly feel is a good sig...

[Warfang]

I didn't really like this weeks turnout. Anyways, I'm going with...

Draxfear

I like his use of transparancy and blurring on the dinosaur.

[Draxfear]

I spent a long time brewing over this, but I think I'll vote for IxGUNxSLINGERxI
It has a nice burnt feel, shame you can hardly see the woman running though, its a bit too dark there. Oh well.

[fiery]

I like Shade117 pro.
It has the best mix of staying on topic and nice effects and idea.

[Dizfunky]

I'm going with Gunslinger this week.

Everyone was hyped about this theme, and then it turned out to be one of the least entered theme ever...

[Actually cool]

You guys managed to vote for all my least favs. Wow.

DRAXFEAR

I simple love Drax's. It goes out side the box, it looks badass, and the sig really feels savage.

[Pegasi Delta]

Its a close call for me between Garsykat and Draxfear, but I'm gonna have to go with Draxfear. The piece works really well as a whole, the render extending from the boarders really stands out without seeming out of place and the colours, continuity and effects fit seamlessly. The font does leave a little to be desired, but I still love the overall product.

[Zerosun]

i vote gunslinger. It just catches my attention and i like the colours.
