Sure, this round is important, and it is always fun to watch the contestants wait

Ah, sorry! I was swamped with project's. I'll get it done tonight.

Signature 1


_jade_em_
Wonder in the whiteness ... vermilion in the void

I like this subtext a lot; it describes it very well and I think the word "vermilion" is the perfect description.

Rate: 9.75/10

Fiddelysquat
The last bold thing in a colorless world...

This subtext is alright; it's my least favourite out of the three because it's not really sophisticated. I mean, it makes sense but I wouldn't expect this on a signature at all.

Rate: 7/10

WIS
Flaming Tempest in the Mist

This is a nice spin you had on the signature; because we don't know what the picture is of, you took your own interpetation and made a wonderful subtext. Good job.

Rate: 8.75/10

Signature 2


_jade_em_
Huddled within the treacherous gloom

I like this one, it makes sense and I liked how you added the word "treacherous" in there. Good job.

Rate: 8.5/10

Fiddelysquat
Sidewalk reminiscence of a failed romance.

One of my favourites; it actually shows another spin on the signature which I think is a bonus. Good creativity.

Rate: 9/10

WIS
Hostile Streets

I like this one as well; the world "Hostile" fits in very well. Good job.

Rate: 7.75/10

Signature 3


_jade_em_
Heaven's bestowal-
A floral beauty

Hm, great choice of words. I like how you added it was a gift of some sort, good job.

Rate: 9/10

Fiddelysquat
Blossom in the dusk

This makes sense; I can't really tell if it's sunset or sunrise but either way, I like it. Good job.

Rate: 7.5/10

WIS
The Envy of Blossoms

This makes sense, and you bring the "emotional" part to the signature. Good overall effort.

Rate: 7.5/10

ROUND 1 -- People tried too hard. It's too hard to rate!
Also, I've never used this much BBCode in my life. o_o

SIGNATURE 1 --
Jade - Interesting...I like it. However, I did learn that vermillion is a red, and not a green, as I was thinking. oO The only problem -- it's almost too long. Unless it was not meant to have main text (Robert can correct me on this), but there's no room for the main text. 7/10
Fidds - White is a colour, silly. I know what you were thinking, though, the whole monochrome thing. Anyway, it is a very good subtext. It's just a LITTLE blah, for some reason. 8/10
WIS - There are two different meanings of tempest, but unfortunetly, I don't believe you met either one. It does not look like a violet windstorm, and it doesn't exactly look like it's a furious agitation...I don't exactly know what you were thinking, though. 6/10

SIGNATURE 2 --
Jade - I. Absolutely. Love. It. 10/10
Fidds - I like it, but for some reason, I think "Sidewalks reminiscent of a failed romance" (or failed romances) would sound better, but that's just me. 8/10
WIS - It's just...blah. That's really all I could say. I'm sowwies, SIW-SIW. 5/10

SIGNATURE 3 --
Jade - It would've been better if it was faded instead of broken, because there would be empty space. Aside from that, good subtext. 8/10
Fidds - The first time I read it, I swore it said dark. Now I've found myself catching me reading it as dark, still. I like it, though. 9/10
WIS - ...blossom. Popular word, eh? I like it VERY much, but there is just something missing. 8/10

Wonder in the whiteness ... vermilion in the void
Not only is it alliteration, but two alliterations! I am very pleased with this one. There are absolutely no critiques I can think of, except possibly a fade might work here. Great job. 10/10

Fiddelysquat
The last bold thing in a colorless world...
I like this one a lot, too. The thing about this signature is that everyone took it and described it very differently, whereas in the beginning everyone went on the same wavelength. All three of you have learned above everyone else that it's okay to do something completely on your own. I like the perspective in this signature a lot, good job. 9/10

WIS
Flaming Tempest in the Mist
I really like this one, too. Flaming is a great adjective that describes both the color and the boldness of this signature. Mist is great description for the white space, too. Good job. 9/10

Signature 2


_jade_em_
Huddled within the treacherous gloom
This one is nice. Huddled is a great word, and all in all it works out pretty well. 8/10

Fiddelysquat
Sidewalk reminiscence of a failed romance.
Hm. I can see where you're going with this, and I do somewhat like it. Reminiscence is a great word that very nearly creates an alliterative effect in contrast to 'romance', which unintended or not was a very smart move. 7/10

WIS
Hostile Streets
Good one, short and sweet. Unfortunately, this signature does have a lot of space, and I don't think this on the signature would be visually appealing. However, hostile is a lot better than a more generic word, so that's good. 8/10

Signature 3


_jade_em_
Heaven's bestowal-
A floral beauty
I like this one a lot. In place of the hyphen, though, I think a fade would look a lot better. I know I said in WIS' rating for the last signature that covering space is in important, but in this signature where the main object takes up the majority of the space, subtext should not take up that much in order to not distract from the main object- in this case, the flower. I love the phrase "Heaven's bestowal", but not so much "a floral beauty". If you think about it, you're describing the flower as "floral", which is pretty obvious and not a great word choice. 8/10

Fiddelysquat
Blossom in the dusk
I like how you commented on the tint of the picture. That was a huge detail to me that no one really captured. This one sounds somewhat poetic, and I like that. However, blossom is almost too generic- maybe something like "perennial in the dusk" would have worked better. 7/10

WIS
The Envy of Blossoms
This one is iffy for me, as I don't really understand it. I don't know if you're talking about the flower's envy, which doesn't make much sense, or our envy of the flower. Either way, this subtext sends mixed signals to me at least and doesn't have a clear meaning, so major marks off for that. 5/10

Judges Notes
Wow, so many amazing signatures, no wonder you guys are in the final!!! Congrats!

_jade_em_
Wonder in the whiteness ... vermilion in the void
Excellent. Ths is an amazing subtext. Nothing I dislike about it.
10/10

Fiddelysquat
The last bold thing in a colorless world...
I like this one too. The only think I dislike is the '...' at the end.
9/10

WIS
Flaming Tempest in the Mist
Another great one. Again, only one small thing, I think you should have changed the word 'in' to 'of'

_jade_em_

You used some great words here, I rreally liek this one.
8.5/10

Fiddelysquat
Sidewalk reminiscence of a failed romance.
I also really like this one. It does have that lonely, lost romance feel.
8/10

WIS
Hostile Streets
Don't like this one as much as the others, but it is still good. I do think you could have done more with this signature though.
7/10

Heaven's bestowal-
A floral beauty
The words of the subtext itself are nice, but the hyphen seems very out of place. Just having the subtext on two lines is fine, or even a fade would have worked nicely.
7.5/10

Fiddelysquat
Blossom in the dusk
I had the impression that is was early morning/ late evening too! Glad to see someone else saw that. Anyway, I think this subtext is excellent.
8/10

WIS
The Envy of Blossoms
I don't really know about this one. I just don't like th 'Envy' part, it seems out of place. It doesn't fit too well.
