Submit: Week 413
With our first challenge of the new year, it's back to mini-challenges and this time we're celebrating all that's come before while looking forward to what is yet to come! For Week 413 you will need to make one set of five icons that each meet one of the following criteria:
WEEK 413: EVOLUTION OF CLAMP
rashiea | mobiuswolf | nna_chan
cool_spectrum | lightrobber
Feature artwork from a CLAMP series from each of the following time periods...
1. 1990 or earlier
man of many faces, rg veda, tokyo babylon
2. 1991 - 1994
clamp school detectives, duklyon: clamp school defenders, legend of chun hyang, magic knight rayearth, miyuki-chan in wonderland, shirahime-syo: snow goddess tales, sohryuden: legend of the dragon nights, x/1999
3. 1995 - 1999
angelic layer, cardcaptor sakura, clover, suki: a like story, the one i love, wish
4. 2000 - 2004
chobits, clamp school paranormal investigators, legal drug, muri kuri, tsubusa reservoir chronicle, xxxholic
5. 2005 or later
blood-c, code geass, gate 7, kobato
Please stick to original art from when the series first came out, rather than crossover images or more modern adaptations/continuations as that will defeat the point of the challenge ^^' Everything else is up to you. Your icons do not have to look alike design wise, but they will still be voted on as a set, granted we have at least three non-moderator participants.
*Optional Bonus Theme*
Use at least one clock resource (brush, stock photo, texture) on your icon(s) as we're about to watch time pass before our eyes.
Don't forget to read and follow the rules:
Submission Rules
Do's
- You must be a member to participate, one icon set per person (excludes multiple accounts)
- The icon(s) must be made by you, this includes not stealing icons or copying tutorials
- Your icon(s) must feature imagery from a CLAMP series (anime/manga) or artwork*
*Only Code Geass illustrations drawn by CLAMP themselves are allowed, no anime/manga/etc.
- All icons must meet LJ requirements (100x100 and 40 kb or less, gif/jpg/png format)
- They should be recently made to fit the challenge themes
Do Not's
- Doujinshi/Fanart/Cosplay images are not allowed, you must use official art only
- Refrain from using any sexually explicit imagery (exposed private parts) or overly coarse language*
*Graphic violence, artistic/suggestive nudity (with hidden private parts) and mild profanity is ok
Other's
- Please credit outside sources (e.g. brushes, textures, bases, lyrics, quotes)
- You may provide translations/definitions (e.g. foreign languages, tiny text, large words)
Posting
- Make a post at clamp_icontest, it will be put in mod-queue for approval
- Include 1-3 sample icons and link to the rest of your set or place it behind an lj-cut
- Your subject line should read Entry: Week ###
- I will tag your posts afterwards, no need to worry about that part
- Table code by anime20in20
(table code by)
If something is amiss with your submission I will reply/inform you of it and give you a chance to either resubmit the icon set. It is at my discretion to disqualify you for failure to follow these guidelines.
You have until Friday, January 24th at 11:00 PM Eastern to submit. A 'submissions closed' comment will be left to inform you of such and any posts in the moderator queue at the time will be approved before I put up voting or the showcase (depending on how many entries we've received).
If you have any questions about this challenge, just leave a comment here. Otherwise, be creative, have fun and best of luck to you all!
And remember that each icon set you enter earns a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.
----------
Note: And if you have extra time... since we only received one (although excellent) community header submission, I'll be extending that challenge an additional week in hopes of getting at least one more entry to hold voting... otherwise it will simply win by default and become our new layout ^^' If you missed your chance to participate, do so now via the submission thread by Friday, January 17th at 11:00 PM Eastern.
