oh man muramasa i'm down for this
Cool beans. I don't think we've ever battled Soma.
yeah i haven't really been in battles much at all lately man i'm so indecisive i started out wanted to make something really colorful but ended up making something really vintage-ish. oh well. good luck.
That is really beautiful, soma! This is gonna be a total slaughter...-.-
Let the battle commence!!! XD
SLL : Overall your piece lacks placement , focus and a considerable flow which makes everything look very haphazard and erratic in it . The central circular region looks empty and the stock doesnt align with the star formation as well . Secondly i;m not quite sure that black red and white go very perfectly in that manner . What i would suggest for your future piece is decide on a focal point first and try to align the main stock on it to get as much as attention it can steal by itself . Then , you should go with the brushwork and filters around it to make it look more dense and to add more aesthetic appeal to it. Soma : The oriental BG and feel to the piece totally compliments the color and they style of the stock . The flower patterns seem add to the subtleness of the entire theme and look perfectly placed . "Final Breath" seems to occupy the emptiness sin that area and suits the theme as usual . The hanzi clipping mask in the right balances the colors of the typography on the right making it look very dense and complete . There are still two things i would like to comment on : 1) The level of the stock seems to be more bright and lighted than the other elements and the BG making it look a bit odd on closer inspection . Maybe dimming it would make it perfect . Another reason why i found it odd , because theres that whole feathered region near the sword which look blurry till the shoulders and doesnt feather out towards the left since the hanzi on the top left looks crips and sharp. Hope you understood what i was trying to say. See the right portion near the stock's back seems to be perfectly leveled and totally blended , but its near the shoulders and the sword area which seems blurred and over highlighted to match with the elements on the left. 2) Theres that small hanzi text near the top left corner ( 3 letters ) which seem out of place . Maybe you wanted to decrease the opacity on it to give it more depth , but you forgot about it i guess. On a personal note , I think you should really visit , CnC and battle more often in GFA since the members seem really tired of an old fossil like me here with them . Besides i need someone to look upto anyway . Soma GMV.

God dammit, I wish I'd seen this so much sooner. I love Muramasa. I'm going to sticky this right quick and then I'll edit a vote into this post. -edit- Soma: I know exactly the stock you used for this--it's a piece of fan art by Muuten. It's easily my favorite piece of fan art that has come out of this game. However, the problem with this is I know how vibrant the original piece was. I'm not happy that you dulled down all the beautiful color that made Muuten's piece exceptional. Other than that, you know you did a great job. Your technical skill is flawless, I just don't always agree with your color choices. You go monochrome when I want to see vibrant and busy when I want to see simple. Also, does the text say "Finch Breath"? It looks like it does, weirdly enough. All of that being said, this piece still made me say "Wow" the second I saw it. I would be proud to use a sig like this. SLL: In your case, I know the exact brushes you used in this piece. I have that exact same star brush and those circle brushes. I'm not faulting you for that, I just can't give you credit for taking a white background, adding a few brushes to it, slapping on a picture of Monohime, and calling it a sig. It doesn't wow me, though if you went for some more color and lighting, it could certainly be a good sig. Soma GMV. Soma - 2 SLL - 0

Yeah, I will admit I totally dropped the ball on this one. Just for the record though, it's not a white background, it's really light pink. Thought it didn't really turn out like I had imaged in my mind either. I've had this pic for about three weeks now and the first time I saw it was knew I wanted to make a sig with it. Zen, if you wanna after this battle is over we can battle with the same theme?
...could I get in on that battle I love Torahime D:<
ok! Soma: i was lost with the same stock just yesterday, i'm surprised that you do not follow the brilliant colour of it, and end up with this colour scheme. anyway i love the light source, the white creamy colour of the background, the way you placed the render and the japanes kanji on the background. everything looks perfect to me! Sugar: your sig is simple and neat, the circular points and stars on the bg makes look the render out of place, and i cannot see any blending with colours, they clash each other. that render does not suit the style you used, even if with more work(time) you could do better. even so i like your effeort!

Zen I think it says Final Breath ^^ Soma: I love this signature, it has the look of an old scroll or something where the paper is browning and the paint is fading. It really works, in my opinion. The placement of the text and the font you've used really pull it all together. Overall I can't think of anything wrong with it. Sugar: I like the picture you chose, but I think it would have been better placed centrally, or perhaps even in an upright signature rather than a horizontal one. The right side of the signature looks a little bland to me, and I'm not sure whether it's just me not looking properly but the border looks strange. Like you've missed the top edge or something.
