Well obviously voting for my own would've been poor form...

I voted for Skithiryx. There's just something about that template that resonates with me better than the other two.

And notably against the traditional contest rules posted in the sticky in this forum.

i voted skithirix. idk how well that form would work for other commanders, but it looks nice (sort of like the bloodghast frame from a few months ago)
the other ones either seem to crowded or not far enough from the original cards

Trancebam. That flag is so good. Wish I had me some flags like that.
The overall design is pretty well made too.

I just realized that the watermarks on the flags didn't turn out as nicely in the attachments as they did in Photoshop for my submission

I actually don't mind the watermarks.

What bugs me about yours is the edges of the flag. The flags have these nice ripples giving them a sense of depth, and then they hit the edge where the image just sorta stops unnaturally, and it ruins that effect you created with the ripples.

Not that I'm saying I can do better, but do you see what I mean?

Yeah, my girlfriend pointed it out too. It's something I would've fixed had I noticed it sooner. If you'd like the PDF at some point, I can upload it for you with a drop shadow effect applied.
