Discussion Thread
 
Discuss anything to do with the PC Icontest here, I guess XD

Gummy June 28th, 2009 4:43 PM

I'm glad we got so many entries on the first try. Good luck collecting all that into one post/poll. xD

True Reign June 28th, 2009 5:27 PM

I like this IotW idea. I think it's pretty cool, Dukey.

Dukey June 28th, 2009 5:33 PM

It wasn't really mine, there's countless Icontests on LiveJournal, and since we've gotten everyone addicted to icons we might as well have one on PC.

Zebra Thunderhead June 28th, 2009 5:41 PM

Making icons is orgasmic.

Nough said.

True Reign June 28th, 2009 5:41 PM

I didn't even know that they had Icontests on Livejournal.

Zebra Thunderhead June 28th, 2009 5:42 PM

... are you for serious? They're EVERYWHERE

True Reign June 28th, 2009 5:45 PM

Yep; never really checked Livejournal out, lol.

By the way what happened to your pretty, blue name?

LiveJournal is Icontests.
For almost every anime, theres an icontest for it XD

Lol, I'll have to check it out now. >___>

Ayano Hana June 28th, 2009 5:49 PM

Since I never been on Live Journal, I just thought PC was the only place to have Icontests. I need to surf more.

Zebra Thunderhead June 28th, 2009 5:49 PM

Livejournal is the icontest home.

And the h-staff eated it.

True Reign June 28th, 2009 5:51 PM

The icons in this weeks voting are just... Good.

I can totally imagine a big lightning bolt eat away at your name, lol.

Ayano Hana June 28th, 2009 5:55 PM

I agree with you, Mage. This weeks entries are just...good.

Dukey June 28th, 2009 5:56 PM

I can imagine them just eating it.
With knives and forks, eating the letters one by one.

Sorry, I'm making it worse huh? XD

Your contributing to the conversation, but the face that you're saying that a lightning bolt, a big Arcanine, and a Mewthree are eating the letters with knives and forks.

That's just... Weird when you picture it in your head.

Nitrous Oxide June 28th, 2009 6:04 PM

I'm supposing this will work in the same fashion as the SotW here... as soon as one finishes and the poll is up, the next one starts?

Zebra Thunderhead June 28th, 2009 6:59 PM

lol I'm pretty over it now.

I think entries this week were so "good" (my view of good is different from others obviously) because it's freestyle... as the themes get more specific the entries will be more scarce but probably better. Or worse. idk.

Guy June 28th, 2009 7:14 PM

The idea of finally achieving icon contests of the week here at the community makes me think, "it's about time." I'm really liking the idea of it right now and like said, the entries this week are all really nice in their own way. It'll be hard to vote this week that's for sure.

I think I may partake in this more than SOTW as I prefer making icons > banners, but I know it'll be something enjoyable this time around.

[email protected][email protected] !$ HERE June 28th, 2009 7:14 PM

Bah Bah Bah forget the contst on livejournal and talk about something more interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zebra Thunderhead June 28th, 2009 7:29 PM

Uhh, it's a thread talking about icons... wtf else is there to talk about besides icontests??

Dukey June 28th, 2009 8:05 PM

If only you were still a mod right now CME XD
Rentoraa don't spam the thread, m'kay?

Yeah, Freestyle was just to get people interested in it and stuff.
I'll probably make it a specific anime/manga or something next week.
Yeah I'm gonna be greedy for a while and choose the themes XD

I have a good theme idea. PM so I could tell you.

Dukey June 28th, 2009 9:10 PM

I can't really be taking ideas from anyone, if I make exceptions with you, I make exceptions with everyone.

Zebra Thunderhead June 29th, 2009 4:00 AM

You power loving skank. ;_;

Guy June 29th, 2009 4:53 AM

@ CME: Put it this way, at least now that you're boldness was eaten, you are free from the staff's wrath. You now have more time for yourself and other things to do rather than just keeping up with the DPPt all the time. However, you were a rock there, so without you it may have a little slack at times.

@ Dukey: Ha Ha, as long as the themes are nice or at least mildly interesting to most, then I say go all out with it. I wouldn't mind as long as it doesn't turn into a phail. XD

Keep this up and it'll eventually turn out smooth after awhile.

Zebra Thunderhead June 29th, 2009 7:13 AM

lol it definitely is relaxing. No more dealing with noobs! \o/

I've been pretty bad with icontests on LJ mainly cause their themes suck half the time... so Dukey don't fail me/us! ;_;

Dukey June 29th, 2009 1:47 PM

It's funny because now you are pretty much free to just unleash your rage without concequences XD

I'll post them on LJ when.. I have more :3

Zebra Thunderhead June 29th, 2009 2:28 PM

I've been having a real urge lately to icon from game screen caps... not just FMV ones but actually battle/etc shots as well.

unnffff I had something really funny and clever to say but it's not appropriate. :(

Guy June 29th, 2009 2:30 PM

Wait, explain this again...Icons from say battle shots of DPPt battles you mean?

It would have been interesting enough to hear what you might have had to say...

Loki June 29th, 2009 3:30 PM

Err, no I think she means more like, RPG style games. <A<;
Pokemon doesn't really have any FMV's. D|

Zebra Thunderhead June 29th, 2009 3:31 PM

LMFAO BATTLE SHOTS OF DPPT

I ROFLED SO HARD

As you can see, we are all now screwed XD

Pokemon battle scene icons.. pee eff eff tee.

Zebra Thunderhead June 29th, 2009 3:45 PM

Like if they had Stadium video during the anime... oh lawd

True Reign June 29th, 2009 4:22 PM

Pokemon icons are ftw.

Don't deny. [/shot]

Guy June 29th, 2009 5:55 PM

Wow...talk about shame...just simple shame :(

Anyhow, I see you've already brought it up on a thread, so I guess it is worth a look.

Zebra Thunderhead June 29th, 2009 6:14 PM

I'm still cackling about the battle shots of DPPt

Dukey June 29th, 2009 6:18 PM

We should all totally make themes of DPPt Battle Shots.

Ayano Hana June 29th, 2009 6:25 PM

That'd be pretty strange.

Gummy June 29th, 2009 6:40 PM

l smell next week's Icontest theme.

Zebra Thunderhead June 29th, 2009 6:57 PM

I would probably rofl, then be sad at my good times there. :(

Guy June 30th, 2009 7:44 AM

If I ever see this idea as an icon theme [DPPt Battles], that will actually make me laugh out loud so much. I might be like CME over there rolling on the floor, lol.

However, my only question is that...When will voting begin for the Icontest #1?

Zebra Thunderhead June 30th, 2009 8:56 AM

After a week, of submissions, I'm guessing. Like SOTW.

Guy June 30th, 2009 9:06 AM

That makes sense seeing as though tomorrow will mark the one week sign up. I've got to say though it will be hard to vote because this is a lot entries. And seeing as it is freestyle, they aren't all the same making it a bit more difficult.

However, like said, when the competitions gets to be more specific I'm sure there will be a bit less entries and maybe it might be all the more easier to vote. As I think about it, I'm all for the DPPt battle icons, rofl!

Zebra Thunderhead June 30th, 2009 9:08 AM

If DPPt battle shots was the next theme, that would make my life

Gummy June 30th, 2009 9:09 AM

The amount of entries will probably decrease with different themes, but I still think this will get more entries than your average SOTW. No matter how crazy the theme, icons are still fairly easy to put together and aren't nearly as time consuming as tags.

True Reign June 30th, 2009 11:33 AM

I agree Gummy.

I think we should have a Megan Fox theme.

Guy June 30th, 2009 11:41 AM

The main reason why I really slowed down on signature banners was because the amount of time they might take. Adding new layers, situating the text, color, etc. Not to mention it is a larger space to work with and more to fill. However, with icons it is more so getting a nice shot of the image or perspective and playing around with it a bit. So, I definitely agree, for those who enjoy icons there may just be a bit more entries than the average SOTW competition we have.

When I actually think about DPPt Battle icons, I picture them actually looking quite nice surprisingly, lol. Who wants to bet more so the Uber or OU tier may be shown in battle for the icons though. XD

Loki June 30th, 2009 11:50 AM

... Really? The smaller space is exactly why I hate icons. xD;
It's so much harder to put your own touch to it. <A<;


But I suck at icons, so rly. :P

Guy June 30th, 2009 11:55 AM

Loki, please don't lie to me, XD. You are one of those known to make great icons just like CME, Dukey, and Gummy is as well. Compared to at least you, I'm way at the bottom. :[

However, the small space can sometimes be hard to work with for some, I find that the case for me as well. Low quality images just makes it worse as well because it ends up becoming somewhat distorted. Neverthless, what I enjoy about banners is that you can really be creative with it. So, both icons and signature banners have their wins and losses [like everything else].

If you made the ones in your sig, I'd consider you to be up there as well. I quite liked Loki's entry for this IOTW, but my favorite is Dukey's *surprise surprise*

Zebra Thunderhead June 30th, 2009 12:06 PM

lol hopefully my icon gets some votes. :(

Gummy June 30th, 2009 12:08 PM

cme totally went for the underwear shot :3

Dukey June 30th, 2009 1:40 PM

Okay voting is up guys, I'll make a new entry thread in a second.

Gummy June 30th, 2009 1:49 PM

Time to bust out the old screencaps!

True Reign June 30th, 2009 1:57 PM

Pokemon battle shots ftw.

Can't wait to see them, lol. I'm in the mood for a good laugh. xD

Guy June 30th, 2009 1:59 PM

This will be a hard vote for me, as like I've said there were a lot of good entires. Though, there were a few at first that I saw that may have caught my attention. I also see that the second test is up, but I haven't checked the theme as yet. So, this will be interesting. :)

@ Gummy, I did make those icons I am currently using. Thank you for the compliment as I take it in with appreciation.

EDIT: Pokémon theme for the win, and battle shots too, lol. Nice choice for the second theme with Icons, it fits in perfectly.

True Reign June 30th, 2009 2:03 PM

It was between Dukey, Gummy, and Loki for me. Loki won though since I liked how she used the black in the icon. Dukey's and Gummy's seemed a little too bright for me.

@ Let's Get Lost Together.: You still have to use that Darth Vader balloon I gave you. xD

Dukey June 30th, 2009 8:55 PM

I for one am actually considering doing a battle scene XD

Get one from the first season of Pokemon. That would be sick. xD

Gummy June 30th, 2009 9:47 PM

Don't forget to make voting public on the next poll, Dukey.

Guy July 1st, 2009 5:18 AM

I've gotten one icon finished for the second contest yesterday when it came up, but I'm looking for better renders to see if I can do something a bit better than what I have now.

As for voting, I think I know who I'm going to choose. Although, like Gummy said, don't forget to set votes to public. Battle scenes, I wouldn't be surprised to see any of that in the new theme idea. CME might be the first to take it down with pride, XD. Unless, someone else beats it to her.

Zebra Thunderhead July 1st, 2009 8:17 AM

if anyone else steals my idea I'm going to cry.

Dukey July 1st, 2009 1:20 PM

make cme cry and then we all cry.

Btw, me thinks we should get an emblem organized?

True Reign July 1st, 2009 5:16 PM

Dukey, you could make the emblem since the emblem is pretty much an icon. >___>

Make it sexy and have it say "IoTW" then underneath it "credit to everyone in the discussion thread, especially JD".

Or I could just say Icontest, since it wasn't meant to be IotW in the first place?

True Reign July 1st, 2009 10:19 PM

Okay then.

Either way you still should put the credit underneath it, lol.

Guy July 2nd, 2009 7:09 AM

Icontest would be a better title for the icon as the name of the competition is Icontest and not IoTW. I agree with JD though, Dukey you should make the Emblem since you started it. Unless, you want to have a small competition right here to have multiple people make the emblem and people choose the one they think looks best.

CME, I won't make you cry as I've gotten a different Pokémon style to go with. XD

Why not have next week's theme be Icontest Emblem? Then whoever wins gets to have their entry submitted to the staff for emblem approval?

Dukey July 2nd, 2009 10:00 PM

That's exactly what I was just thinking, then of course it'll be resized to 80x80.

Or I can make it, it's up to you guys really XD

Zebra Thunderhead July 4th, 2009 3:04 PM

I would ask the h-staff to make an emblem buuuuuuuut...

Dukey July 5th, 2009 11:05 PM

Guys people who haven't voted in Icontest #1, go vote now, since I seriously cbf'd making a sudden death thread. I might just make cme & I joint winners, but I suppose Loki still has a chance for now.

Gonna go make my Icontest 2 entry now :P

Zebra Thunderhead July 6th, 2009 6:23 AM

lol I just realized my idea for this icontest looks bad on so many levels, so back to trolling for screencaps :(

Dukey July 7th, 2009 12:53 AM

Yay for terrible entries, cme? XD
All my stuff looked pretty eww so I chose the lest eww?

Edit: Oh gawd this is gonna sound really suss but it seems someone voted me at the last second?
I didn't do eeeet, I voted cme ;;

Gummy July 7th, 2009 1:56 PM

Woah, that week went by fast. O_O
I really wanted to enter.

Loki July 12th, 2009 6:03 PM

Holy crap where did this week go-
Oh I was on vacation. D:

[/shot kill'd]

True Reign July 13th, 2009 7:50 AM

I'm liking the entries for this week; they're pretty good.

For once, I'll have trouble voting for this stuff.

And I'm gonna throw in a little perk for the winner of this week's IotW: Not only will the winner have their emblem used as the winner's emblem from now on, but I'll throw in a Helping Hand emblem in the package.

Good luck~

Shouldn't the winner get an emblem maker emblem instead? :/

Although helping hand is a great emblem too. <3

Loki July 14th, 2009 12:52 PM

The problem with the emblem maker is that the description kind of mentions /multiple/ emblems, and this is just one, soooo, the winner is sort of just helping out. :B

True Reign July 14th, 2009 2:54 PM

I just posted my entry.

I like it. xD

Dukey July 14th, 2009 2:58 PM

Omigod.
Everyone vote Mage and just see if they accept it as an emblem XD

Oh yay a twist Loki.

Loki July 14th, 2009 3:54 PM

These entries are amazing. oAo [/likes rachel, micro, and vvintage's entries]

Whenever I need an emblem made, I know where to go now. xDDDD [/SHOT]

Maybe we should re-do the SotW emblem too. D:

[/this is going to turn into emblem of the week? rofls]

Dukey July 14th, 2009 3:56 PM

XD vVintage's entry is forcing me to redo mine >:

Well voting is up, and so is the Icontest #4 entry thread.

I'll have a go at the Manga competition tommorow :]

<3 Josephine for voting for me, lol

Loki July 28th, 2009 5:14 PM

Dukey, get your butt in gear or make someone else host this thing. <________<

Dukey August 8th, 2009 2:14 AM

Okay so.. it seems I kinda forgot about IOTW for a while.
I'll do IOTW #5 on Monday, any theme suggestions?
