Sup everyone!
Submissions for Round 01: Manga Battle Tactics are now officially closed.
This is the voting post for the SENIOR LEAGUE. For the Junior League post, please go
HERE.
Out of 52 participants in the Senior League, 4 (Chika Akatsuki, Freya, Haseo, Nill) couldn't submit on time and were forced to use their skip. Additionally, Haine Otomiya used her skip as well, and we had 2 withdrawals (Nozomu Itoshiki and Zero Kiryuu). This means 45 participants submitted for a total of 75 icons this round.
Voting isn't obligatory, but HIGHLY recommended! Voting this round LOOKS huge, but the majority of the votes in the example are optional, so don't be frightened by that. XD;;
VOTING RULES
- Do not vote for yourself, neither as a favorite nor as an elimination, and do not create duplicate accounts to vote for yourself, or ask people to vote for you.
- Only one vote per person.
- You must give a reason for your eliminations. The mods reserve the right to nullify any petty votes (i.e. "I don't like the character" or "I don't like the colors"). Giving a reason for your favorite votes is not necessary.
- You may leave general comments to icons without voting for them. These comments will not count for tallying, but they'll be handed out to the iconmakers with their critiques.
- You may split your votes - vote for eliminations now, favorites later - but your vote will not be counted until it has been completed.
- Vote fairly, and based on the aesthetic quality rather than your personal preferences. Liking the character/series/artwork is not a valid reason to give a vote - you're voting for an icon, not for the image chosen.
- Make sure you've picked the right numbers for your votes! The number of the icon is above it on the voting table. We'll try to check every vote to make sure it matches the icon, but please be careful!
- You do not need to be a participating member to vote. Anyone can vote, so please vote and encourage others to do the same!
VOTING FORMAT
- Votes must be submitted to this post.
- There are no eliminations this round.
- You may pick a minimum of one and a maximum of three favorites from each table, with the exception of table #2, which has a maximum of two [for a total of 6-17 favorites]. You may also pick a minimum of one and a maximum of two eliminations from each table [for, a total of 6-12 eliminations]. Comments are optional, but votes with critiques will be worth more than votes without.
- You don't have to vote on every table if you don't want to, although it is highly appreciated.
- Voting order DOES matter! Make sure you list your overall favorites in order of priority.

And without further ado, on to the icons! Please remember to pick a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 favorites AND eliminations from each table, with the exception of Class #02, which has a maximum of 2 favorites and eliminations.
Voting: Manga Battle Tactics
For this round, participants could make up to two icons, one per category, and had six categories to choose from.
Please remember to pick a minimum of one favorite AND elimination from each table (and a maximum of 3 favorites - except table 2, which has a maximum of 2 - and 2 eliminations, if you wish).
Keep in mind you don't have to vote for every table if you don't want to!
Class One - Squire
Icons had to use only the original image, layer modes, cutouts and color adjustments. Brushes, textures, color layers, manga coloring, filters were not allowed. All participants have shown the original images and it is guaranteed they did not use anything external to the image.
