ANIMANGA LIMS ROUND FOUR: CH. 04 VOTING
Challenge 4-4 voting at animanga_lims, with icons from Spirited Away, is now in session! We received 31 beautiful icons for this challenge, so I'm sure voting will be difficult. 10 people are skipping this round, 6 have been disqualified for having no skips left, and three have withdrawn.
Challenge 4-4 Skips (NOT elim'd): akikana, astrokittie, fiendie, hwighting, intimidate, kawaii_chicken, mewmango, mitsukishiroi, nabreus, nopamuk
Disqualifications (no skips left): blooming_cosmo, microcake, nuimi, nyaa, powercorrupts, whitelilies22
Withdrawals: insurgentdraff, missykitty0115, naominzk
The basic rules and regulations of voting:
- Voting for Challenge 4-4 will end at around 8 PM CST on Wednesday, August 10, 2008.
- You are voting for 5 (FIVE) icons of LESSER QUALITY to be eliminated, and 2 icons that are YOUR FAVORITES for People's Choice awards. For the elimination icons, please judge based on overall technique and aesthetic quality, NOT personal preferences (such as character, favorite color, etc). We reserve the right to void any vote we feel is unfair or petty. You do not have to give a reason for your FAVORITE icon choices (though it is encouraged), but YOU MUST GIVE A REASON FOR YOUR ELIMINATIONS.
- Do NOT vote for your own icons (for either category) and don't feel obligated to not vote for your friends' icons, etc. Keep things as objective as possible!
- ANYONE CAN VOTE. You do not have to be a contestant or anything, so VOTE AWAY!
- Here is an example vote for you to follow (5 eliminations, 2 favorites):
#101 - The excessive use of textures over-powers the icon.
#102 - The icon is too washed out overall.
#103 - The image quality is poor and the icon is badly cropped.
#104 - Icon is too contrasted and over-sharpened.
#105 - The use of text is poorly done because it is too big and clashes with the rest of the icon.
Favorite - #108 because I love the cropping.
Favorite - #109 because the colors are beautiful!
- Please use the following voting form:
ELIMINATIONS (5) # - (critique) # - (critique) # - (critique) # - (critique) # - (critique) --- FAVORITES (2) # - (optional critique) # - (optional critique)
Please look very carefully at each and every icon, and be cautious with the numbers that you pick! It's very easy to accidently vote off the wrong icon #, so please double-check your votes before you post them.

Remember, we encourage you to be as detailed as possible in your icon elimination critiques. Many participants here are looking to improve, and since we will allow you to see your "vote off" comments, your opinion will help any aspiring icon maker. ALL VOTES ARE SCREENED, so please be as honest and objective as possible. No icon maker will ever know who voted them off and all icon critiques will remain completely anonymous.
Again... ANYONE CAN VOTE, and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you vote especially if you are a participating member at Animanga LIMS.Every vote is very, very important, and a single vote could decide whether an icon-maker remains in the competition or not! Your vote against another icon could even save your own from getting eliminated, the tallies are often that close - so it is in your best interest to vote!
