It's pretty weird to have been on the site for a month and half and have the responsibility to tell Wasty what his art is worth. I feel like a season one Peggy telling Don Draper that his idea's are good.

Sig 1: 9/10 = 950K
The player render, including logo swap and light manipulation are as perfect as your brand advertises. The blurred player background, enveloping flame elements, and background objects work really well together, and the halftone gradient is an interesting way of tieing everything together that i think works really well (very risky for a 72 ppi export) and helps to tie the flat image into your glitch gif attempt. The text doesn't seem to tie in as much in either typeface or distortion effect. Lastly, on the top of the canvas, as the gif pixels come in, there are some transparency issues to the top right.

Sig 2: 10/10 = 1.1M
The custom player render, from the jersey color and logo swap, to the custom helmet art is enough to make this a top tier signature on its own. The lighting on player render is great and the overlaying stripes and smoke work perfectly to tie in the render with the background. The distress/flares and cartoon motion blur compliment each other very well, which leads naturally into the text which has the same effects and follows the lighting from the player render.

Sig 3: 8/10 - 825K
This one was discussed heavily enough here the first time. The player render (whenever the ripples in the logo swap are warped in, my pants "warp" out) and light manipulation is technically flawless, and the background matches perfectly in color, theme, and application. Howevaaa, the text is featured very prominently and appears to be pretty off balance. The rest of the composition can be fitted neatly into thirds, but the name doesn't appear to have an intentional placement. The team name is legible enough with the white layer. The player name leaves me wanting more physically. I want to stretch the canvas another 50 pixels to the left. If it the text hadn't played such a role in the signature, it would have been scored closer to Sig 1.

Total Payout = 2.875M
