Here's something you haven't seen in a while - a contest!
They were put aside for a while during the summer, but the designers and I decided to try them out once more.
I have terrible icon block, and the awards still aren't done - I promise you, I already feel bad about this, so there's absolutely no need to bother me about it. They should be done and posted by the time this contest ends.
That said, here's your theme for a contest: Change.
However you interpret that, that's the theme. You can use song lyrics, famous quotes, or have no text at all. You can use photography, as well as any kind of picture. You can use a simple texture as a base. You can use any brushes or other special effects you'd like.
Submit your entries to this post (comments are screened), giving me both the image (the < img src = "" > tag) and the URL (
http://www.____.__/_____.___).
You may enter up to 2 icons.
As with last time, awards will be decided by a vote from the members, with mod's choices.
Also, considering that the winners will be determined by popular vote and not by the designers alone, all entries should be new, and not posted anywhere until voting has ended. Also, considering the importance of icon anonymity on the voting post, userpics are not an acceptable place to host your entries. There are lots of free hosts: try Photobucket, for example. Any icons that are found posted elsewhere before voting ends will be disqualified.
If you have any questions or problems, comment. :)
Submit all entries in comments to this post (please, don't submit an entry as a comment to another comment) by 11PM EST Thursday, October 12th.
Happy iconing. :)
