A CLAMP Base Icontest

Week 90: Extension

2008-03-01T05:27:56Z

It ought to be my fault for not re-promoting the community, and for not posting reminders etc., but we've only had 1 submission so far - hardly enough for a contest, really.

Please submit to Week 90 by Friday, March 7th!

Week 89: Results

2008-02-17T14:59:14Z

I owe you guys this much, after disappearing. I'm so sorry about our failure as moderators. I'm going to try my best to keep this place alive...though once my exams come, I'm not sure how I'll handle!

I'd also like to apologise to innocent_lexys for missing out one of your icons! I never meant to, and I just must have missed it when I was randomising the icons. I'm so, SO sorry!

P.S. Mods, if you could screen the done ones at the request post to avoid confusion, that would be awesome~

Week 89: Challenge

2007-10-05T13:44:11Z

Hey, finally time for the next week (dragons_desire, hopefully you don't mind! I wanted to try something new 8D).

RULES
☆ For this challenge, we will provide 2 cropped bases, and one image for you to crop yourself. You are allowed to submit up to 3 icons, one for each of the provided bases/image.
☆ Submissions must fulfill livejournal requirements, i.e. be no more than 100x100 pixels/40 KB, and in the jpg, png, or gif format.
☆ Your icons must be made fresh for the challenge - please don't recycle or do cookie-cutting (That is, just changing images of a previously made icon).
☆ Collaborative icons (icon submitted through the work of two iconists) are very much welcome here, so feel free to join forces with a friend and submit your icon(s). Only one person needs to submit, but in the submission, you must include the lj username of your partner, and that partner must reply to confirm the collaboration by making a comment that says "I collaborated with this person".

This week...there's actually a theme *gaspshockhorror*. 'sbeen a while, hasn't it 8D? Anyway, what could it possibly be? White space. Yes, all the bases as well as the free-crop image have excessive white/negative space backgrounds. Wheeeeee.

PROVIDED CROPS
A. B.

A. Ashura from RG Veda
B. Ryuuzaki Umi from Magic Knight Rayearth

FREE CROP
Something not entirely new - I believe nocturnelorelei has done something like this. But I'd like to make it a weekly thing :D. Anyway, from now on, we will provide one full-sized image for you to crop yourself. It's a different sort of challenge, in a sense of coming up with a good crop on your own, but it also gives you more versatility.

Annoucement in regards to banners

2007-10-03T06:29:29Z

To anyone who has yet to receive banners up until Week 88, this is the post for you.

We're horrible at keeping track, and keeping up to date with banners, we ain't ashamed to hide it. With that said, We will no longer be doing banners after Week 88. From Week 89's results onwards, we will be directing you to custom_banners. I will inform the people over there about our change, and hopefully it'll all run smoothly ~~and you'll get your banners really quick because CB people are super speedy :D~~. We will, however, be doing all overdue banners. It is not the duty of custom_banners to deal with banners prior to us removing banner makers, so we shall fulfill our own problems until them 8D.

To all our current banner makers, THANK YOU SO MUCH, up until now! Hopefully you guys, with your newfound free time, wouldn't mind helping out filling overdue banner requests ♥! No hard feelings, we love you all, it's just...well, you know how it goes (And obviously you know how overdue some of these banners are. I swear we have stuff from Week 40-ish that haven't been done). In case you care, tenipuricon is looking for bannermakers *coughchokehackhinthinthint*, so feel free to apply there :D

Now that I'm done with the annoucement, please feel free to fill in this form if you have a banner that has not yet been made. If you have more than one overdue, feel free to stick all of them into one comment, or seperate them out - up to you! We will reply to your comment with the completed banner when we're done :)

NOTICE: We will not make banners for people who do not request them at this post, even if they have mentioned they wanted banners on results posts in the past. So if you really want one, please request here. Sorry for all the trouble this causes!

(Hopefully none of the other mods disagree with me...?)

Week 88: Results

Gahhh, late :(. I was really preoccupied ~~with unimportant things~~ yesterday ;_;. PLEASE DO NOT KILL.

First Place

Second Place (TIE)
by mb_lucified

AND

by kinomoto_95

No third place was awarded this week due to a tie in second place, as well as a tie for 3rd place - I felt it was fairer this way, rather than giving out excessive amount of awards.

If you'd like a banner, I suggest you sit tight. I'll be making a post about overdue banners, and those who're still interested in their old banners should just wait for it 8D;;.

As for the next challenge, I have no clue who's taking it. I don't mind running another week, but um, I'm not exactly in any CLAMP fandoms ~~except Code Geass, which hardly counts~~, so it's a bit hard for me to crop anything.

Would any of you guys be interested in suggesting images for us to use as bases? If that were the case, I definitely wouldn't mind opening a suggestion post :D.

Week 88: Voting (Base A & B)

2007-09-30T08:56:52Z

We seriously do not know who the banner maker is anymore. Let's just say...hopefully we figure it out soon. Anyway, if you're interested in a banner, mention so. It might take like 5 years, so don't count on it turning up *is shot*

2007-09-16T11:38:27Z

Hi 'sup, another anime week :D. This time, it's kind of a triple theme: Anime, Tsubasa, and zoomed-out crops with lots of sky (I only realised the third one after I cropped my bases. Then again, I tend to like cropping like that XD). I would have thrown in CCS, only...I have no CCS screencaps *cough*

Aaannnd. Um, banner-maker for this week, um, dunno. I'll probably take this week. I forgot. I might have to do the a complete revamp of the userinfo, previous winners, missing banners and maybe a new community layout. I HAVE FREE-TIME, OKAY? ;D

Week 87: Challenge

2007-09-08T08:23:05Z

In order to make up for us all being super ultra crappy mods around here (Not posting challenges on time, extending, late votings etc.), I decided that the least I could do was attempt to run a week all on my own and take the burden off dragons_desire, who's seriously been working overtime XD.

Rules

1. During this challenge, two bases will be provided. You may submit one icon per base.
2. Submissions must fulfill livejournal requirements, i.e. be no more than 100x100 pixels/40 KB, and in the jpg, png, or gif format.

Um, no theme this week XD? I was tempted to do both bases as B&W CLAMP scans, but I figured participation could end up super low if that were the case.

B. Random CLAMP Girl 8D;;

Submissions are due by Friday, September 14th @ 12:00 PM EST.

This week's voting will go like so:

First: 1999
Second: 54

or 1999, 54

There will be no mod's choice this week.

This week's voting will go like so:

First: 1999

Third: 77

or 1999, 54, 77

Week 86: Extension

2007-09-01T04:57:43Z

This week's theme will be extended for another week for two main reasons. First off, I know that many schools will be either starting or administering midterms/finals around these two weeks, and most likely everyone's focusing on that. So, you all get another week to submit for week 86! 8D

[Here is the submission post].

Let's show some love for two wonderful CLAMP series, eh? ♥

We currently have nine submissions, and the new deadline is 7 September, midnight EST.

Week 86 Reminder + Banners for weeks 58 and 85
