Another LIMS showcase. This time just one, as I really don't want to let them pile up again.
This post contains icons from:Devil May Cry 2, End of Eternity/Resonance of Fate, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Final Fantasy: Dirge of Nausea Cerberus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Odin Sphere, Puyo Puyo 7, Sengoku BASARA, Tales of the Abyss
there are a total of 12 icons.
vg battle round 5
Lmao wow this round just... exploded. I guess I have some not-nice things I could say about how it was run but icons are srs bsns and no1curr. Thanks to flashily for actually managing to remember most of the challenge info! I sure as hell didn't.
challenge 01: brand new days
For this challenge we had to create an icon that was mostly yellow and used a frame texture in some way. This looks like every other goddamn frame texture icon I've made and is P. boring imo.
special placement: people's choice (iirc?)
challenge 02: when I grow up
We had to create an icon with text pertaining to the subject character's occupation. Dist was my first thought.
In retrospect, I should have toned down the light texture.
special placement: none
challenge 03: pikette's first kiss
OH LAWDY SCANDALOUS MOOGLE LOVE AFFAIR. From what I recall, there was a laundry list of bonus requirements for this icon that included a provided texture, including the word "love" (or something similar and relating to love), having a mostly pink icon and featuring a non-human character, of which I managed to cram in all of them.
special placement: none
challenge 04: prom
We had to make a bright icon of a villain and a dark icon of a hero. Both of these are hot, blurry messes. I do find it kind of hilarious that I got a lot of comments regarding Snake standing in a field of flowers and how it was wrong and unlike him and shouldn't have been used,
when he was standing in a field of flowers in both of the original images that I used to make the icon and the field of flowers is a major scene in MGS3? Um, ok.
special placement: none
challenge 05: copy
An inspiration theme that I wasn't too jazzed about. We were provided a couple of icons and we had to use certain elements from them. I remember using a right crop and the general color scheme and that's about it.
special placement: mod's choice
challenge 06: innuendo costume party & simple and clean
Urgh, a manipulation theme. At least we got to use innuendo! We got like, cray cray bonus points if we used the image we signed up with so uh, I did. Which I thought would be a bit of a problem considering that the Puyo Puyo 7 art is so cartoony, but thankfully it matches up almost perfectly with that of Panty and Stocking's! And on top of it, Panty is a slut! IT WAS PERFECT. I redrew all of the lineart and drew all of Satanna's adorable~ clothing and accessories. Isn't she cute? ok, so I did have a lot of fun making the manip...
Unfortunately I just couldn't make a good icon out of my manip and it went through several (almost equally bad) incarnations before I submitted the one above.
I had way more fun making the second icon, which we were only allowed to use composition skills and simple adjustment layers.
special placement: lolidk
For fun: The horrible manip of Satanna:
original 1, original 2 (nsfw, cartoon boobies)
end result:
really gross aborted icon alts:
