jaye's 1st contest :] [winners announced]

[_jaye_]

Because Jas is love, I now have more icons storage for my livejournal. And that motivates me to: 1) blog more 2) more icons

But I'm running low on inspiration even though I have so many topics and I want many graphicians on PPT to help me out because you all are fabulous, so, I decided to hold my first ever contest (-has never done that before-) and this is, obviously, for livejournal icons. I sincerely hope that quite a lot of you would join because that'd make a very, very happy and hyper-active jaye, like when she has sugar :] (although some people say that's scary IRL, but who cares, right? Sugar is love too ).

Requirements:
1- Maximum size: 100x100
2- little animation; less is more :]
3- I'm pretty flexible of what goes in my LJ icon, but there are certain things that I don't like that will be listed. Please, please, if you found images that you think are awesome or that it would be great to make an icon out with, please do so :]

Here are the things I adore -colour codes them-:
Red is love
Green is like
I don't mind orange

Anime/Manga:
Helling - Especially Alucard/Integra
Azumanga Daioh - Especially Chiyo, Sakaki, Sakaki's mountain Cat. Nekoconneko (two white cats on top of each other :3)NO KIMURA. He scares me. A lot.
GTO - Anime/Live Action, whichever tickles your fancy
HunterxHunter - Especially HISOKA! (:P) Killua, Gon, Leorio and Kurapica
Tokyo Underground
Jungle wa Hale nochi Guu
Fullmetal Alchemist--especially Roy 3
Rurouni Kenshin
Naruto

Pretty Face
One Piece

Scenary

Fantasy
Tarot - The major Arcana(because I can't think of another space to put it, it lives under this title for now)
Unicorns
Griffins

**If you're going to use something from ElfWood or DeviantART, make sure you have the artists' permission first**

Animals
KITTIES!

Puppies
Baby animals ^w^

any other cute animals you come across

Others

Zen Micro (XD I have a white one)
Anything that looks elegant
Abstract
Scented Candles
Seashells
Rocks. Can be pretty cool.
fire
water
ice
*moods/emotions
Final Fantasy - I like the characters in it, like how they're drawn. Bear in mind I know absolutely nothing about this game or any of its characters. The graphics are fab
Photographs, stock photos

Music
Delta Goodrem-*esp mistaken identity and Innocent Eyes
Michelle Branch
*Evanescence
Lillix
Piano
Guitar (acoustic/electric)
Chinese instruments
Violin
Cello
Flute
Drums

Dislikes (Things that I don't really want here)
Weebls (sorry there)
Happy Tree Friends - if I see *any* Happy Tree Friends set I will skin them alive. This cartoon traumatizes me.
Cartoons of the topics above unless it really looks nice. For example, no cartoon devil/angel unless you think it will go well.
Unnecessary transparency. If you need to do transparent sets (no animation) use .png filetype (png-24). .gif loses quality
MONKIES. If there is one animal I have to dislike, it has to be monkies or any animal related to them, i.e. gorrilas, orangutans etc. Sorry if I offended anyone >_<

Yay! Let's get making :] Wait, the most important part:

Prizes:
Amount will not be changed and if there are tied places...we'll think of that later.
1st: 20K
2nd: 12K
3rd: 8K
(sorry for launching something big and not give out big prizes ><)
If you don't play neopets anymore, we can negotiate about the prize.

If you don't win, please don't feel bad; I will get around to using every one of the LJ icons because they don't necessarily need to be just used for LJ :] Another thing, if you feel like making something else with those images, please feel free to! But only LJ icons will get a place.

I do encourage everyone to participate, it doesn't matter if you're good at graphics or not, give it a try :] You do not necessarily need to make the topics above/topics in red to win!

This will be edited if I need to add/delete anything.

So what are you waiting for? Go, go, go!

Deadline: January 28th. Subject to be changed; if you can't make the deadline, drop me a PM.

Edit: more topics from now shall bemarked with a *

You didn't really state if you wanted your name on them, so ...





Meh, they all just ended up looking weird xD

[Noelle]

Here is one. I'll make more if I have the time. I'll have to do image searching. I had the image for this one on file.

[.:Requiem:.]

Wow, this ends on my birthday! What a cool present that would be =3

Excellent topics, precisely the stuff I like/dislike. I'll be flooding you with icons as soon as I get time ;D

[WIS]

Kawaii! @_@

-bounces-
(you don't see me bouncing 9.30 in the morning when I just woke up )

Thank you everyone, everything is saved ^^ will try upload it somewhere soon. :3 And each icon will be virtually hugged because I love them so much. -squee!-

[Eskimo]

What the heck, I'll enter.




Blah. Good luck to everyone else ^^

[Pixa]

May have to enter a few more. I like making LJ icons, they seem to allow more room for experimenting.

*sneaks in quietly when no-one is looking*

Yea, yea... I know I haven't been around much. Work is so tiresome and I appear to have lost my life along the way. HeHe.

But I still visit regularly, and I've decided that it's about time I start posting again. And what better to do it than entering the contest of my favourite person in all of PPT!

HeHe.

Here's 2 sets to begin with, I have ideas for 2 more, I just hope that I have the time to make them. Also, couldn't remember the size limit for livejournal userpics, so if they're too big, slap me on the wrist and I'll fix them up

Delta:


Rock/Stone:


Hope you like em

Wow, Jaye, it's eerie how much we have in common. Even down to the white Zen Micro! I can't wait until I can get on the main computer...

[everconfused]

I didn't know what name, if any you wanted on the icon (or anything else for that matter), so if you do want anything written on this, please let me know

*Prepares to enter 50000000000000000 times*

Im addicted to making LJ icons right now.

[magikwishez]

Yay! I have never entered a LJ Icon Contest before. n_n; And it has been a while since my last contest here on PPT so I decided to join. o: Please don't kill me if you don't like it. XD My graphic making skills are so rusty. x__x My last graphic was like... *looks at graphics folder* July 12th. XD;; So here~



You have a lot of things in common with me. *yay* Sceneries are sooo pretty. *looks at deadline* Jan 28th! One day after my birthday. o__o Okay, I think I should go now. x_x''
