One of my favourites from your sig competition entries. Background is great, really nice subtle effects on the mountains, and great work with that lighting. Text is nice and simple and works very well. Nice touch with the blue, really brings up the sig to the next level I think. Overall excellent work. No complaints.

No word from dolla so idgaf. Really love this, had my vote. Love the double exposure effect, done really well here. Colouring is incredible, and the background is clean and simple but still interesting. Nice work boubs.

This is sick. Love the colouring, background effects and stock work. I really like the text, but I feel it could have been blended a bit more. Stands out a bit too much compared to the liquify work in the background and on the render. Lighting is great too. Nicely done.

This is just so sweet. The effect on the background is very cool, whatever it is. Gives it an unnatural-yet-organic feel that is hard to describe. Text works well, simple but good font choice and placement. Awesome work.

Really nice work with the trippy feel. I agree with Beketov that the text could use some work, but it still works fairly well. The overall effects done on the sig are sweet, nicely done. Some really contrasting lighting I think would have really helped here, otherwise I have no complaints.

If we only eliminate 1 then there will be 3 left

Any .psds I upload I'll post in here http://www.mediafire.com/download/abt627sjdtc74fa/von_karma_-_v2.psd

I'll probably upload the .psd for this one after I clean it up.

@Mr.Baller @Beketov @solas and myself are in for week 4. In terms of elimination, I'm open to input. Would you guys prefer one elimination then a final round with three next week, or just have a final round this week? Any input on this is welcome. Either way, your theme for this week will be Industrial. Contrasting to the nature week, the industrial theme could go in any sort of robotic, mechanical, or electrical direction. Feel free to use the theme extensively or minimally. Sigs are due Saturday at midnight. If you won't be able to make that deadline please let me know sooner rather than later.

Willing to take input from people. There will be four people next week. We could do one elimination then have a final round with 3 people, or eliminate two and have the top two faceoff. Or just have next week the final week and have the order of the votes decide the winners.

ban boubi, that's mcdavids signature

Great texturing, great text, great colouring. Love the vintage feel that you brought out of this. Whatever that texture that's creating the grid pattern was a very good choice, nicely done. Only complaint is the lighting seems a bit flat. Could use a bit to really emphasize the focal being the render. Great work overall though.

One of my favourites from you recently. Really nice font choice and execution. The 'kohler' could maybe be a bit smaller to give his face some space, but it's not too distracting. Lighting is subtle but done well, and the colouring is very nice. Good work.

I like where you're going with this, but it could use some finishing touches. Nice work with the blur, but it looks a little weird near the text where the background is in focus. Lighting could use some work, the render seems a bit dim. Try adding some Levels and Curves adjustment layers to bring out the contrast in the render and the sig. Nice work overall though, looking forward to seeing more from you!

Damn, this is cool. Really nice work on the render effects. Super sick. I like the bright background. Unique, and executed very well. Text is good, wish the 'hans' was a bit more brought out though. Great work, keep it up.

Lookin' good. Really like the text, simple but clean. Render effects are very good. I like the dots, but I think it would be better if they faded as they got further to the outside. Could use a bit more stock work, but looks good clean like this as well. Great work.

So sexy. Text is great, background is great, and the render effects are incredible. Might be a little too sharp in places, but not a big deal. I have no complaints on this one.

Cool work on the text, good placement of it as well. Background is cool, but the little circle on the left edge is a little distracting. I think the overall sig is a little too sepia-y, and then with the splash of purple it's a little jarring. Nice work overall!

Absolutely love this. Text is very nice, love the canvas shape, desaturated face works well. Not sure if I'm completely sold on the disintegration effect on the arm, but I'd have to see it without it to know if I like it more without it or not. Great work as usual.

I really like the overall look, but the weird grey overlay/luminosity thing is throwing it off for me. The stock work is good, text is good, colouring is good, but not a fan of the lighting. I think if you did some white/black soft brushing on soft light to create a focal it would benefit from it. Good work.

I really like the stock work here. Very cool work with the triangles. Lighting is good, the bright spot could be a bit higher though. I like the composition of the text, but not a huge fan of the fonts used. Still works fairly well though. Nice work, keep it up.

Colouring is sick, perfectly done. Love the text, both fonts work well I think. Not a huge fan of the blur on the logo but I like it everywhere else. Lighting is good and background is simple but works here. Nicely done!

Two dropouts this week, so I think we'll only do one vote, otherwise it will be 4 people gone in one week. Voting will close on Tuesday.
