    Uhm H20's original...
    It's his render...

    To support my render i took out the yellow spot on the right of the render to make it look nicer (see the original).

    H2o GMV. Much better cut, also harder. Other one seemed like an easy cut, but nontheless was very good. Great job both of you.

    Kroga's got my vote,Not very hard,most hardest at the hair and necklace,i personal have'nt seen it around the forums
    but i think this would go nicly in a sig as i have seen before.
    Good cut bit choppyness
    good size and would be made smaller to fit into a sig nicly.
    nice render!

    H2o:Looks hardish because of the angles and curves that you need to cut around like the helmet etc.have never seen this around the forums before so very unique.would go in a sig nicly and would probley blend in well depending on what style you use(maybe motion blur).i can see some roundness at some of the parts like the sword etc were it is ment to be sharp but apart from that nice :)would fit into a sig nicly as well as kroga's.

    Kroga's gmv

    Good renders,keep it up,may the best render'er win :)

    Kroga gets my vote.
    Difficulty: Not too difficult, but very usable.
    Unique: Haven't seen it before.
    Usability: Very usable in a sig or small wallpapers.
    The Cut: It is very clean and looks like you went into a lot of detail.
    Size: Pretty good, makes it easy to adjust to fit into lots of things.

    Very nice renders both of you. Heres how i voted:

    @ H2o

    The render seems nice, and also a nice cut, but still some choppy parts. When i looked at the original i got kinda disappointed because it was a white bg and a black/grey render, and thats almost like rendering a straight line. But still not. :P (My opinion.)

    I think the usability is high, and that this render has great potential if the choppy parts are fixed.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    @ Kroga


    Wow. That is nice. I like the render and the cut. The only thing thats killing it is the © Text and the 'Magna' text in the bottom left.
    I think this one was a little harder to cut because it wasnt a white BG :P
    I personally never seen it before and that it has great potential.

    The usability is average i think, cuz you wont really fit the whole render in an original sig without it will look bad. It would work on a wallpaper, but i think thats just it.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    So my vote goes to... Kroga!

    First i would like to say to both of you great work guys....

    RENDER A.....H2o

    nice clean cut although you left a bit of bg down near the bottom a few minor choppy bits but nothing worth mentioning.Difficulty i would give it a 6/10,good size although i have seen this render a few times.Usability i would say is good for both sigs and wallpapers.


    RENDER B....KROGA

    nice cut very smooth but really i am disapointed you didnt get rid of the text other than that good cut.Difficulty i would give this a 6/10 only because of the hair.good size again i have seen this render a few times before i have even done it lol.Usability is limited because of the text.

    MY VOTE GOES TO

    H2o i think more time has been spent on this render and also is more usable.Great job to both of you though.

    Kroga:

    Difficulty - 7/10. Doesn't really look that difficult to cut around the edges.

    How unique the render is - Magna Carta is a hit lately so it's not that unique. I have 2 sigs from the game :D.

    Usability - From my sigs, it's definite that it's highly usable.

    How Well The Image Has Been Cut - Very well cut. Smooth edges all around makes it seem flawless.

    H2O:

    Difficulty - 8/10. Edges must've took a while to get around.

    How unique the render is - It's really unique. Haven't seen this render been done yet.

    Usability - For sigs it might be less usable, but for wallpapers or other designs, it might be more usable.

    How Well the Image Has Been Cut - Very well cut. Edges look a bit rigit but it's probably just the resolution that it's being viewed in.

    Overall, Kroga GMV. Magna Carta FTW

    Kroga

    - Nice render chosen
    - Difficult to render due to render/background composition
    - Not unique in terms of render because magna carta been done several times
    - High usability
    - Very well cut - Premium cut i cant see no choppyness from it
    - Size fairly large

    H2O

    - Difficult render choice due to the shear amounts of sharp/curved edges
    - Unique - Havent seen this one been done before
    - Less usable due to the atmosphere of the render ie dullness - But can be used in grungy medievel type sigs - Fairly usable ill say
    - Premium cut - Hardly any choppyness/missed spots
    - Only neg is - The sides are incomplete
    - Size fairly large

    My vote goes to...[Hard choice - Went for personal opinion]
























    Kroga

    5-2 to Kroga

    H2o:
    Your render is excellent, I really liked the way the curves were executed and especially around the helmet. It's quite large, and very useful for any kind of graphic. I love it! It looks quite difficult, too. Around 9/10 or so :D

    Kroga:
    Hmm, quite a nice cut, indeed! But the image doesn't seem very usable and the overall difficulty is average - around 7/10 or so. The size is sufficient for web graphics and signatures, etc. but I doubt it'd be useful for such. However it's a great cut and I like it alot!

    My vote goes to... *drumroll*

    H2o!!!

    GREAT JOB!!! :D And my congrats to the both of you for doing a fantastic job! ;)
