Round 05; Preliminaries
TOURNAMENT ; RD. 05 - PRELIMINARIES
You can enter the challenge if your name is listed here. (Do feel free to make an icon even if you're not signed up!) Sign-ups are still open if you'd like to participate.
Welcome to the preliminaries! Before I begin rambling I need to say that I was originally going to pick a scan for everyone to icon. In the end though I couldn't decide on one scan. I spent hours looking through scans only to hate everything. Then I wrote an entire challenge only to decide that it totally wouldn't work for a preliminary challenge and I scrapped it. In the end I went with provided images. I'M SORRY FOR BEING PAM AND INDECISIVE.
...Welcome to the preliminaries of round five! To get to the top 16 and participate in the first challenge you must make it through the preliminaries! For this challenge I ask that you make one icon and one button banner. (More about the button below.) Since these are the prelims you won't have to worry about brackets and dodgeballs just yet. If you do make it then you will.
I'm giving you 4 images to choose from. All have one common theme: uniforms, sports and balls. Which is what this round's totally about. Apparently somewhere along the trend lims and disjointed fourth round we became ESPN. You must pick one image and make an icon out of it. You can do whatever you want to the image. This will be the only challenge this round that will be like this, after this it will be themes and provided resources. I know a couple of you aren't fond of provided images but I decided to do it for the prelims so everyone would have the same chance of getting to the next challenge. These images are not hard to icon but I do feel awful for restraining everyone like this. :c
Here are the images, some of them are HUGE so if you need me to resize them so you can download it please do tell me! ♥ Hoover over the image for the series name and it's size. Click the thumbnail of you'd like to see the full-size.
No one will ever understand the trauma I went through to find these images. NO ONE.
Use one of these to make the best icon you can! I BELIEVE IN YOU ALL. ☆*･゜ﾟ･*\(◉‿◉✿)
TEAM NAMEWhat's a game of dodgeball without team names? Time to pick your team names! (WE'RE STILL IN THE PRE-CHALLENGE ROUND, I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS.) Please make a banner with your team name on it. Your team name must be on banner since I'll be using these banners for the tournament bracket. Banner size needs to be 125x50px btw. You can make your team name whatever you want. It can be a pun, a food, a spin-off of a character name, the name of a car, etc. These names will follow you until the end of the round so pick something nice. The banner doesn't have to be crazy complex, you can make a simple icon with a cropped image and some text. Have fun! Btw this is required. I do ask that you be discreet with your team names for the time being. I don't want to intimidate someone into not submitting. Y'all are scary talented.
