battle of the sexes; round 1This was my first time in a LIMS, boy I was so nervous! The participants were split in two groups, shounen and shoujo, I chose Team Shoujo (cause I usually fail at iconning shounen stuff) and signed-up as Maya Kitajima, Glass Mask is great, isn't it? The round was short, only four weeks long, and all the challenges were great! I've had a lot of fun~ Also, thank to all people who voted, I really appreciate your crits!
challenge 01: anything you can do...The second I saw it I knew I had to use The One for this challenge, luckily I found a HQ version of the scan I had in mind. The original is gorgeous but I had a quite hard time making the icon, especially the background and the text ;-; I wasn't very inspired that day.Original | +13/-0/5g
challenge 02: if you can't beat 'em... join 'emI was happy with that Hikaru icon below but still had to icon Umi cause she's wondeful in that pic and I'm biased towards her. I liked the result so I submitted this one insted. I know the background of is a real mess but anyway, I learned how to make curved text in Gimp so I'm happy :). The second icon was easier, I loved making it and I loved the result, it's my fave icon from the whole post.Original | +13/-1/2g ~ Original | +3/6g Mod's Choice
challenge 03: walk a mile in their shoesFor the cross-dressing icon I was going to use Isabella from Paradise Kiss but I didn't really like the scans so I used Kuranosuke instead. The colors of the original image were washed out but the resultant icon was too saturated, I think. For the second icon I used The One ♥ again, I had to recolor it since the original is almost black and white.Original | +7/-1/4g Mod's Choice ~ Original | +7/6g
challenge 04: time to say goodbyeThis time you had to choose between war and peace. I'm a kind kid so I chose peace, which gave me the opportunity to icon a shounen series: Aria ♥ Making the background was really fun, I added the doves to earn bonus points.Original | +4/-0/8gresultFifth overall / Second of Team Shoujo
