Signature Battles V2 - SearanoX vs Kokori Kid!

Welcome guys and gals, to the 2nd round of the Signature battles V2!
Here we have 2 mighty contestents, no newbie to the world of graphics. The theme of this battle is.. Ryoko, from Tenchi! (This is getting a bit like Iron Chef ¬¬)
1st off, we have SearanoX...


A nice blend of images, touched up with a slight of hand, with a bit of the ol' Sear magic =D

Next on the bandwaggon, we have Kokiri Kid. Sporting a large, and popular signature shop, his talents are recognised as some of the best we've seen here at this forum...


A nice touch here and there, mixed up, shaken, stired, turned upside down, rattled about, and turned back up, its a great entry. Now, its up to you, the reader, to vote on who you think has done the better signature. Here I don't want any Biasing, just because they have made a sig/ava for you. Its not fair, and not right.
Also, please reply to this thread with the person you voted, so we can make sure no-one cheated. Well, who would do that anyway
Well, the 2nd round has started, and I wish both of you guys all the best, and may the best dude win on this one =D

My name is Kokiri Kid, btw...

Are sear and I supposed to vote on this?

I'm curious, sear...what does that Kanji say?

Sorry, you can't vote for yourself. Oh, and sorry about mispelling your name. I'll edit it in a sec =D Hmm, and I can't seem to edit your name in the poll. Sorry about that.

I vote for Sear, I think he banner looks more clean and well, it looks more harmonic with the few colors.

I like KK's too, but Sear gets my vote.

i vote for sear too. both are incredible, but sears... well it appeals to me a tad more. wow... those are both VERY good. geez...

Blah, I think that Kokiri deserves to win this one more than I do. Mine is just more cliched, boring stuff. His is actually interesting.

Oh, and the text on mine doesn't say anything...just jibberish.

I voted for SearanoX. His banner is neatly done with some colourizing with a tiled background. Very nice Sear.

Kokiri Kid's looks messy, but Sear's looks cleaner, in my opnion. So obviously I'm voting for him.

Good luck both of you!

Well, yeah, Sear's does look a bit cleaner, so, Sear, you have my vote.

I'm thinking of pulling out of this battle and giving Kokiri Kid the win. Why? It's not fair to compare two people with different skill levels. Not only is there experience that is uneven, but I spent about ten minutes on my entry, and I know that Kokiri Kid spent a good amount of time on his. He actually put effort into his entry, in other words.

So yeah, I forfeit. It's just not right to compare people so different in skill. Plus, Kokiri's a great guy, and I know that he could get pretty far if he tried...maybe even win if he spends his time. It's nothing against you, Yami, or the competition for that matter.

*closes poll*

And don't you think of pulling out right now, Kokiri. :p

EDIT: Look above, my friend.

Odd...it didn't look that fuzzy before... oh well.

That's okay about the misspelling, Yami. I think people can figure it out.

Wee! one vote for me! (and it was not me...) Not that I was expecting anything different...Sear's better than I am, and besides, I use GIMP...can't do things nearly as efficiently as with Photoshop.

Edit: Wow, I just noticed... Holy crap that was a short time for the poll...

Wow, Sear! that's admirable of you! I hope my opponent is like that, cus I know I'm going to lose.

*Hands Sear a cake*

...

It's amazing what happens when people post quickly... I don't often look up after I post...

...um... dunno what to say really... except, after submitting that, I noticed a really bad screw up on my siggy. And, I see nothing wrong with you winning... I mean, you should win the thing...

Yes, but I'd rather have it as a fair competition, not as one where (and I mean no offense and such) I am certain to win by a large margin. I was even somewhat reluctant at the time of submitting my entry, but there was always the chance of you still at least getting close to me. However, upon the first few votes rolling in, it was rather evident that I was going to win.

So, I shouldn't win. It's essentially the same as a rigged competition.

oi, o.o i didn't get to vote -.- lol oh well, actually, i've seen just a tad bit too many sigs like urs sear so i have to say that i WOULDA voted for KK that is if you konw, this was stil open -_- lol :p sorry sear just not as creative as you could be *points at hellsing sig that i dont have on here anymore* ^_^ well, umm that's all bye bye all

Why did ya haveta pull out Sear? Oh well... I suppose. Me wants a rematch agaisnt ya anyway.

And so, Kokiri Kid, advances into the quarter-finals. Against Malony. Or maybe I could switch around the quarters a bit.. I dunno.
Oh well, this can be locked now.
Thanks Sear.
