User blog comment:TheSt0ryTeller/A Contest you say? Ooooo Interesting./@comment-3282650-20110818124554
I'm just going to copy what I said on the IRC. With a little elaboration.
"20's is good no doubt, but the font is boring, and the phrase; unoriginal. Plus the Desmond image isn't perfect quality. Though the background is amazing, and I like the idea, I think it could've been much better with more creativity."
"TST's works in every way. The character fits the background, the font suits the character, and the colours suit the entire image. They're simple, yet they'd look terrible if they were too complex for such a character. TST managed to make it look original and creative, without being too overdone that it ruined the "feel" of the image."
"Udi's is, well... Better than what I could do. It looks nice, but nothing matches. The character outline, and fading thing, is a bit too much. And the character doesn't fit the background. So the background is nice, and the use of outlining and fading is interesting. But it doesn't all tie in with each other very well. On the plus side, I do like the writing, that looks pretty cool."
