All you're doing at this point is meaninglessly stirring up drama, derailing the thread and quite possibly trolling me. You should really consider stopping...

The creative process was a fair bit different.
Skye's: tumblr image cropped. < only creative process involved
time: ~30 seconds

my result:

If that's not tumblr copy/paste, I don't know what is.
Now here's mine...
time: ~2.5 hours
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Decide on perfect render to use (if it hadn't been pen tooled, I would have had to do so myself):

Decide on perfect background to use:

Resize and position render.
Resize and position background.
Crop background.
1px stroke manually with pencil tool.
Change hue of background to orange to match more closely to render and better represent Halloween.
Choose ideal Halloween-ish text.
Choose wording.
Position text.
Add font layer effects.
Layers:

It's just a lot more of an artistic creative process. *shrug*
I'm just saying I personally would facepalm if a cut/paste from tumblr won an av/sig contest.
I'm not dissing Skye or saying her entry isn't valid. I'm just saying in an avatar/signature contest, knowing what's involved, I'd personally crawl in a hole and die if a tumblr copy/paste won. Of course, this is coming from someone who frequents forums with weekly sig contests and knows the harsh criticism those people can dish out... :x
I can see where you're coming from

I think it's kind of ridiculous that you seem to be making a big deal out of Skye's possible winning because hers is a "simple tumblr cut/paste". You're actually coming off as really rude because of it, even though I'm guessing that's not what you're meaning to do at all. That would be as rude as my going into the pumpkin carving contest and saying that the "simple" minecraft one shouldn't have as many votes as it does.
You shouldn't devalue anyone's signature or avatar simply because you don't think they put in as much work as you. I mean hell, neither my sig nor my avatar were done by me.
I'm not meaning to come across as trolling you, or anything of that matter but just pointing out how this looks to me (and quite possibly a few others as well). That being said, you both are still tied! So good luck to you both!
