LIMS Challenge 13 -- THE FINAL!!
Welcome to LIMS Challenge 13!
Before we begin this final challenge I wanted to thank you all for participating and voting. We had a lot of doubts when we begun, thinking it would be too much, but all of you guys contributed to make this a very fun game and I loved modding it. Thank you also for keeping up with both this and the regular challenges, you've been amazing! ;)
LIMS Challenge 13: The Battle Of Hogwarts
"This is it... the big one...the one we've all been waiting for..." (Oliver Wood, Fred & George Weasley - Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone)
THE FINAL CHALLENGE!!!
Once again the LIMS final will determine which banner and community icon we will be featuring for the next few months.
I will be changing layouts as well, I've chosen this layout by wingweaver22 @ fruitstyle, so in case you need it for inspiration you can see the preview here. I can change the colors, so if green isn't really your thing don't worry, we can change that to fit your banner.
I haver very few restrictions, mostly due to (understandable) technical issues:
- The size of the banner must be: 775x380
- The size of the icon must be: 100x100
- The banner should show the words "Wizard Icontest" somewhere on it (any additions are entirely optional)
- The image/s you use must be to either movie screencaps or promotional pictures, because that's what most of our challenges revolve around (that is no chapter art, fanart or actor out of character pictures).
Other than that you have a green card on pretty much everything, you can use any image you want, any colour, any technique, etcetera, etcetera.
I will eventually be asking the winner to make matching info banners, but I think it will be better to wait untill the winner is chosen so that you guys don't work double.
Since banners usually take a tad more work than icons (and this is the final after all) I will be giving you one extra week to enter your submissions. However if you both submit your entries before the deadline the poll will go up earlier.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment!
Good luck and let the best icon maker win! :D
