    New contest, new sig. This month's theme is the Flood, so here is a Flood sig. Tried to make it along with a bloody theme, and blending the sig with Flood colors.

    Thats filthy [the bass suddenly drops].

    Seriously that looks hectic. Very organic (in a flood way), dark, creepy and good looking. The only thing is it feels like its missing something, like maybe if a quote from gravemind was included somewhere to the side? Just a suggestion.

    Hmmmm... I don't remember that one. But I tried adding a single, short line of text and it disrupted the flow, so it stays like this. More CnC!

    The only thing I don't like is that there's not much contrast. When you make something with amorphous shapes like this, especially when the edges are shaded rather than hard color changes it's important to give enough contrast so it doesn't just look like a splotch. That's just my personal opinion. Otherwise it looks great and I like how it brings focus into the mouth (?) of whatever that dark creepy thing is. Speaking of which you definitely have the dark creep stuff down.

    Personally, I like the cut-down quote, "Silence fills the empty grave...", but it's not my sig. He can put what he likes. ;)

    Still needs text, to be honest. But it will be difficult without splitting the focal too much. Tread lightly, you may ruin it.

    I'm sorry, I just don't think text works with it at all... the shortest quote I can find is "Two Corpses in One Grave" but it's way to long to put in there without it creating a split focal. It also ruins the theme a bit, since the bloody/horror stuff gets run over by text. :/
