You have 20 days to complete your icon for this competition. Deadline - June 22th, 2013 Rules
{enjoy} |
And to those of you who are arguing at the bottom of this page that my post is irrevelant. The thing is that because Inazuma Eleven WAS initially a game, unlike One Piece, which started out as a manga. But to keep all fairness, FINE. I shall make a PURE GAME ICON, to all those hard-core believers.
Stock Background Stock Its a Chocobo! From the Final Fantasy series and the Chocobo Racing series. http://i.imgur.com/K3NgeG4.png |

Stock Sync the Tempest (Tales of the Abyss) in a Pikachu (Pokemon) jacket. Video Gaming enough for you? haha. Anyways, not sure if I'll be keeping this. If I have the time and such I'll try to make something better but just so I'm actually entered into this one here it is. |
I don't make icons often. At all. But. |
Honestly, you know who this is.

Here's my entry :)

Original image is here. I also used this image for the background.
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f147/flame757/Graphics/Avatars/PCicontest2.png Figure I'd try my hand at making icons. xD |
Made 15 posts just to enter. =p
http://i.imgur.com/wbtrklr.png Lightning from FFXIII. Stock. Oh, and there's this query I have - Is it really okay to let people use fan-art/anime-fied versions of the characters from video games? Because, going by that assumption, I can use the luffy image in my signature as an entry since Luffy's a character in One Piece - Pirate Warriors video game. My point being...I think this should be restricted to in-game character models only. Otherwise this becomes partially anime-based. |

That is an excellent Luffy icon you're sporting though. :] And yes, technically, you can use it. But there may be icontests in the future where it would get a better reception. |
Fair enough. Guess it's upto people if they wish to judge entries on the basis of their relevance to the theme or not, then. :p I personally like to have distinct boundaries between things so that there's no confusion. But that's just me and I guess it is sort of unavoidable in competitions like these, haha.
Thank you for the compliment on the luffy icon, btw. I'm glad you like it. |
I think if the boundaries were to be further distinguished I think It'd strip the essence of competitions like this. For me, art is a form of expression, whereby an individual can interpret concepts and themes and then showcase them in a way that's unique and 'outside of the square', if you know what I mean.
|
Understandable. Like I said, it's just a personal preference o' mine so I don't really mind either way, haha. And you're right, the fact that people can derive so many different messages from a single piece of artwork is what makes art beautiful - that each piece is interpreted by differently by different individuals.
|
I think it's nice if the character or thing that the icon shows is from something that is mainly a game. One Piece, for example, is mainly a manga and anime so that would perhaps not be the best choice for a video game contest. Imo! :>
|
I never intended to have an entry revolving around an anime character (but someone who's also in a game based on the series) like Luffy. Was merely using the icon to explain my point. But yeah, you're right, of course. I didn't think of that. :>
|
Well done everyone! Your icons are all beautiful and you should all be very proud. :)
Just a reminder that you have less than 24 hours to submit and/or edit your entry! |
The submission period is over. Voting period has now begun.
Go go go, check it out and vote. Good luck everyone! |
