<b>Shadowfare</b> -- Hm. You've done better. This one's very... bland. I like the color scheme, but the background is rather plain, and the text is hard to read, especially the stuff at the bottom. I can barely make it out.
<b>Sapphire Faerie</b> -- Hahahaha! Awesome! I love the sparkles in the background; they go well with the image. However, maybe you should have used purples or disco colors, because when I see a disco ball, I don't think red. Also, next time widen the bar of the subtext... maybe leave 2 pixels between the text and the lines.
<b>Meowth1982</b> -- I don't get why the fuzzy thing is beveled and faded in the sig. It's really out of place. The background is all right, but the grids are too wide. Try smaller grids next time.
<b>Neopets Addict</b> -- Switch the border colors, so that the darker one is on the outside. I like your choice of colors and main text font. I think you put a drop shadow on the subtext bar, which looks cheesy because then the perspective is messed up.
<b>Starchaser</b> -- Ooohhh! Pretty. I think it's very classy; good job. The only thing I have to criticize is the space between the subtext and the bottom border. The text is a bit too close to the bottom, so it throws off the balance, since your main text is farther away from the top border. Other than that, it's fantastic.
<b>Laq</b> -- Your avatar looks very good, but what happened in the sig? I don't get the bland background thing. I think you could have gotten away with the whole background instead of cropping it and leaving the rest blank.
<b>Zero</b> -- Awwww! So cute. I love what you did with the mistletoe, so that it fits in with the rest of the image. Good job. I do like your color scheme, but I think the background is a bit overpowering. Perhaps you could have put a glow around the draik or faded the background so that the draik stands out more.
<b>Mazil</b> -- I love it. Good picture choice, good colors, good background. It's great! I just dislike the pixelly snowflakes in the corner, because they look out of place. The background is swirly and the overall theme is smooth, so the pixelated look doesn't work. Perhaps you should have used brushes instead?
<b>Apricus</b> -- Haha. Lovely. I like what you did with it. It's awesome! The background is great, and nice use of font to fill up space. It's very you! But um... "soggyness" should be "sogginess".
<b>Darklengendary</b> -- I like it a lot! Even though the colors are kind of muted, the overall effect is nice. I don't think you should have split the subtext though... because I keep reading it as "free from legend the world"... and then I smack my forehead. The glow on the left side of the sig is a bit distracting and out of place.
<b>DM was on fire!</b> -- You placed the text nicely!! Good job. I understand why you tinted the image this time, but don't do it too often or with just one color. It gets old. The background is also kind of bland; the swirls look out of place.
<b>Knives</b> -- Cool. I'm a fan of matching cutouts though. Also, I like the colors and the fonts you chose, but maybe you should have switched the opacities/placements of the shirt and the shoyru, because the shirt is too opaque to be behind the text. It makes the right side of the sig really uneven.
<b>Marissa</b> -- I love the background! It's so simple, but it works very well. I like what you did with the subtext as well; the waviness is a nice touch. However, I think you could have stretched the sig out a few pixels, so that the pie isn't covered. I realize that it's cut off a bit in the sig, but you're talented enough to fill in that tiny part.
<b>Charka</b> -- First off, the border needs to be a darker color, so that it frames the av/sig, not so that it blends in completely. The outer glow doesn't work at all- it doesn't match, nor does it do anything for the main text. Also, the subtext font... it's uneven. Use all caps, or choose a font that doesn't have ridiculously shaped letters.
<b>Alex</b> -- It's too plain. The colors you chose are nice, but the background needs to have more going on. Use more brushes, mess with opacities, more colors, whatever. As with Chass, you should give the subtext bar a few more pixels: at least two between the top of a letter and the top of the bar (same for the bottom). You've improved a lot since you made that set though.
<b>Neko</b> -- Lovely! I like it a lot. Good job with the background. You made good use of the brushes. However, the main text should be larger or have something to draw more attention to it. The subtext is brighter than the main text, which I dislike. Maybe lower the opacity or choose a softer color for the subtext?
<b>Rachel</b> -- The quality is a bit shoddy. I like the fire effect you used on the main text. Use a pixel font for the subtext though, because fonts at that size tend to get fuzzy and unattractive.
Hmm... I think I'm going to have to vote out Shadowfare and Rachel this round. Sorry, guys.
