Poll closes June 8!!
NOTE: Despite what the poll says about being public and the results visible to everyone, it's not true. The poll is PRIVATE and visible to me and the mods ONLY.

Good luck to the participants. ;)

Realistically speaking, none of these wallpapers truly feels like the mods they are trying to represent. Most of them are just enlarged signatures, with effects just everywhere with no sense of cohesion or balance.

I like Zenister's because its contemporary to all the styles and such we have now, but it feels manufactured. I have seen plenty of wallpapers like this one before, and I dont really feel that it represent FlashD in any real way.

Blue's works on the level that Eric likes music, but its and extraction (that I have) on top of a C4D (that I also have). And isnt creative given Eric's usual mannerisms.

Ardelia's is like Zenister's, seen the style before, and just has a name on it for the sake of the contest.

Dark Velvet is the one I picked, because it feels like Muzonaz. Simplistic, but balanced. Real, but unreal. Its not the best, but it is the only entry that feels like a wallpaper that I can use and the icons on my desktop wont get lost.

Are we supposed to vote based on theme or on aesthetics?

It's up to you, really. The voting should be based on your own opinion.

Skiller get my vote for being the only one with a real cohesive feel and an eye for design. The others feel like they clash with themselves. Marudashi would be my second

Skiller's and Zenister's a re both amazing wallpapers but I think I'll go with Zenister's wallpaper because it's just so balanced in my opinion.

When do we find out the results?

Today. I don't know when yet though, since I've been rather busy for the past few days.
