Hey guys! I'm sorry I've been late in posting the new theme. My life is getting really busy, which means I have less time for LJ, so I was thinking about maybe closing down the icontest for a bit, perhaps re-opening it when summer starts, or when life gets less hectic. Right now I just don't have much time or patience to run this place especially with the drop in submissions.
Hence why I haven't posted the new theme - I need to talk stuff over with so_vayne, and I also wanted to get your feedback!

View Poll: Future of Fire Emblem Icontest

Again, nothing is set in stone, I just wanted to get some ideas about what I can with this contest. Comments are screened if you have an issue or suggestion that you don't want others to read. Thanks for your time!

Week 56 - Picture Frames & Favorite Colour || Reminder

so_vayne — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:32:44 GMT

Err is it too much to ask to keep the Picture Frames & Favorite Colour theme going? There are two icons but I was hoping to see at least a couple more. It's hard to hold a voting with only two. I would love to ring in the new year with more! The new deadline is Tuesday, January 6th! And then after that I'll post voting anyway.

Picture Frames
For this theme you must use a picture frame somewhere in your icon. You could use one as a border or as the central focal point, it doesn't matter go nuts! You can find stock images of picture frames (or mirror frames) through goggle or photo websites like flicker. These textures would also fit the theme nicely.

Favorite Colour
What's your favorite colour? For this theme your fav must be used as the dominant colour scheme of your icon! The icon doesn't have to be monochromatic but it can be if you want. :)

Remember you may submit up to TWO icons and you may use any combination of themes you wish - two icons, one from each theme; two icons from one theme; or icons combining the two themes are all acceptable.

1. Your icon must include an image from one of the Fire Emblem games.
2. You can use official art, TCG/book scans, etc. Fanart is allowed, but please ask permission and credit the fanartist.
3. You can submit up to a maximum of 2 icons each week. You may submit any combination of themes (ie, two icons from one theme or one icon from each theme are both allowed.)
4. Your icon must be made by YOU. Don't copy tutorials.
5. Make sure your icon fits LJ standards (100x100 or less, 40kb or
less, in GIF, JPG or PNG format).
6. Don't advertise your icon before the winners are announced! This will warrant an automatic disqualification. Please don't cross-submit your icon to different icontests.
7. If you need to re-submit your icon, please just make a new comment - don't delete or edit your old post.

WEEK 55: TRAGEDY & LYRICAL - STAND MY GROUND

x_maps — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:36:39 GMT

Holy crap, I'm so sorry! I totally forgot about this, I've been super busy. Anyway, here's Week 55 - I'll probably extend it so you guys can get your entries in.

TRAGEDY
For this theme, you must depict something sad or tragic. This theme is pretty much open to interpretation - it can be a solemn person or a person with a bad past, as long as there's something depressing involved.

LYRICAL - STAND MY GROUND
If you choose to do this theme, your icon must use at least 3 consecutive words from the song "Stand My Ground" by Within Temptation.

I can see
when you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right ?

Late at night
things I thought I put behind me
haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape now
once it sets it's eyes on you
but I won't run, have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground

It's all around
getting stronger, coming closer
into my world

I can feel
that it's time for me to face it
can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear
but I won't run, there's no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
stand my ground
