Judges Notes: Tough choice for elimination this round. A note on fades though. Using fades is a tricky business. They either work amazingly, or they bomb completely. Fades work well on busy signatures or signatures that have a dark, eerie feel. This has neither, and is in fact very open. The fades just don’t work.

Painting my own reality
It is a good length, and I think it works very well with the signature, since it is so white. The “my own reality” is also pretty cool.
Anubis
Artistic Creativity
I don’t really like this one. It seems very bland, and doesn’t relate that well to the signature. If there was some kind of creativity on the signature I could see it. Maybe if you had used something like “Room for Artistic Creativity” it would have worked better, but to me, this is very dull.

White Canvas*fades*Lingering for Some Paint
I don’t like the fade in this one. The signature is not the best for fades. It is too blank and empty to need a fade. Besides that, the subtext is alright, nothing spectacular though. I do really like the word “Lingering” though.
Dragonfire
A Blank Canvas *fade* Multiple Brushes *fade* Endless Possibilities
One fade isn’t good here. Two is worse. The signature is not the best for fades. It is too blank and empty to need a fade. The subtext itself is pretty good. I think you should have only used two of your ‘sections’. Just “A Blank Canvas with Endless Possibilities” or “Multiple Brushes-Endless Possibilities” would have worked better.

Anticipating Art
You captured what I was trying to convey with the signature, in your subtext. Excellent.
Pixa
Splash me with a spectrum
I like this one a lot. I really like the word “spectrum” and it works very well with “splash”. Nice job on this one.
WIS
Sadly Paintless
Hmm, I am really on the fence with this one. Yes it is paintless, but is it sad? I don’t think the signature conveys a sad feel, but more of an open, artistic, do-what-you-want-with-the-blankness feel. I think you could have done something ebetter with the word “Paintless”.
