1st (3 Pts): NamelessBard - I prefer the purple colour over the bright yellow that is prevalent over most of the submissions. Simple but good
2nd (2 Pts): Fashionablellama - A bit excessively bright to look at, but the contrast is cool.
3rd (1 Pt): Hogopogo - This would probably be my second highest, as it is definitely one of the more complex ones, and still looks good, but the misquoting is distracting :P (So much untapped power)
DERPPPPPPPPPPPPPP I just wrote something I thought she said :D
1st (3pts): YayaFTW - I like this one, although a bit bright, I really love the background and I think it fits the render perfectly.
2nd (2pts): NamelessBard - The detail on this sig is too amazing to not mention. The clipping masks are amazing and placement of the render is great!
3rd (1pt): fashionablellama - After I saw it, I understand what the other's comments were saying. I feel though it is a bit too dark on the right so that's what kept it a bit lower on my list.
I ended up changing what I said earlier slightly after more thought....If I say something that comes off as mean, I swear I'm not trying to be a *****. I just feel that we're all big kids and can take constructive criticism. xD
1st, 3 points: Hogo- I love the color scheme and how Syndra looks like she has a heat haze over her, as if her own power is so strong it might set her alight at any moment. Some of the smudging doesn't follow the flow of the render though, which is slightly distracting. The text also looks like a pasted-on afterthought and doesn't really fit with the rest of the signature. If it was smaller, a different color, and placed differently it would probably look better.
2nd, 2 points: Llama- The contrast is good and the colors look really nice. However, Syndra could be a little bit to the right to make it more aesthetically pleasing. The lighting is almost entirely on the left side, which looks off to me, it should continue over both sides with more of a gradual fade. The text isn't placed particularly well either, which distracts from the focal point, and the colors are slightly off and too much of a contrast from the background for it to look like it belongs in the signature.
3rd, 1 point: Yaya- The color scheme is fitting and I like the subtle sparkles all along the edges of Syndra. The lighting is well done, but it's all very bright and this causes the entire signature to lack depth. Personally, I would have darkened the shadows on Syndra for a bit more contrast.
EDIT: how am I winning with all these things that are so much better than mine? >_<'

Oh god this was a really hard decision. >.<
1st (3 Pts): The_Nameless_Bard - The background is just amazing. So many Details and the render fits so perfectly.
2nd (2 Pts): fashionablelama - The background here is really great too and it fits the render very well. I just think you could have placed the render better and it is a little bit bright on the left side. Otherwise it would have earned first spot.
3rd (1 Pt): Hogopogo - I really love the colors here. The background looks awesome. I only dislike the text. Somehow it doesn't fit the rest of the sig.

Well, before I vote I just want to mention that I'm in no way a professional artist or experienced sig maker in any way so I'll just go by what I personally like :D
I had a very very hard time voting but this is what I came up with;
Space C:1st (3 Pts): Test0ML, I LOVE the background and how well the image blends with it. It adds a unique feel of elegance and power with a cost - it isn't just omnipotence because why not, it makes you feel like her power puts a very high strain on her. Great job! The text however seems a little out of place. I think it would've been better with no text but that's just me :3
Space C:2nd (2 Pts): fashionablellama, the contrast is amazing! The signature however makes me feel that the bright side is some amazingly powerful source of power, I think adding a motion blur or something or maybe tilting the render a little would've enforced that feeling. Overall amazing job!
Space C:3rd (1 Pt): YayaFTW, I feel like you should've had a darker background with the brighter part being near her hand so it fits with the lighting on the image. Apart from that great job!
Now probably isn't the time but I just wanted the people who voted for me to see that I've read their feedback :)
Firstly, thank you for the votes!
I just really wanted to make the lighting in the original image stand out so this is what I ended up with. I definitely should've toned the brightness down I guess. As for the border, it just slipped my mind xD
Thanks again for the feedback!

Quoted:
XeresAce. You've made the image more dynamic, just the lightning it a bit too bright and distracting, to the point the bottom left is almost painful to look at.
Quoted:
like I said earlier, I really liked how you place the render in such a manner that it looks like she's falling; you managed to blend the render and the background quite well, it doesn't look like you've just pasted it there. It is a bit bright, however, so that's something I'd change. You could also apply a border.

Sorry I don't really have much criticism because they are just so perfect.
