astrokittie — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 03:35:23 GMT

I'm closing voting a bit early because we have a definite winner and I don't want to stay up until 11 tonight.
Without further ado, round one is finally over! Thanks so much to everyone who participated and voted. I had a lot of fun running this (my first LIMS!) and I hope everyone that participated enjoyed the community as much as I did. I'll have a showcase post up in a while (I was too lazy to code it ahead of time) as well as a feedback post.

I'll shut up now so we can see who are two finalists are!

01-08: winner
VGLIMS ROUND 01 WINNER:

pamkips with 9 votes for her first icon and 7 votes for her second icon.

VGLIMS ROUND 01 RUNNER UP:

regis with 1 vote for her first icon and 3 votes for her second icon.

If you would like your critiques, please reply to this post with your identity and/or your icon's number. I will reply to it with a screened post, so please make sure you have notifications turned on.
Comments on this post are unscreened.

I haven't really thought about prizes but uh, I can make you banners if you'd like?
Gosh, this post feels so empty

Guys we only have 6 votes. That's pathetic.
You don't even have to leave negative critiques. Just pick your two favourites and carry on.

GO VOTE, DAMNIT.

01-08: Voting

astrokittie — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 21:08:09 GMT

I love how both of our finalists managed to hivemind on their first and second icons!
Anyway, voting will be a little bit different than normal, so please remember to read the rules.

voting information
challenge 01-08

voting rules
• Anyone can vote. You do not have to be a participant to vote! Voting is not required, but the more votes we receive, the more accurate the results will be. So please vote! It only takes a few minutes.

• Do not vote for your own icon or ask anyone to vote for you.

• You will be voting for your favourite icon from each set, so you will be voting for two icons. Critiques are not necessary, but it would be great if you'd leave the iconists some comments!

examples of good criticism
## - The character in this icon is over-sharpened, so the lines of their hair appears jaggy.
## - The textures you used overpower the character in this icon.
## - I really like the angle of the crop in this icon. It's cute, and draws your attention to the character's face.
examples of bad criticism
## - This icon is ugly.
## - I don't like the character in this icon.

• Please use the provided form for voting:

• Make sure to double-check your votes, as it's easy to mix up numbers!

SET A: Reanimation
Finalists were asked to choose one of their "dead" comrades and create an icon featuring
the character.

01	02

SET B: ZOMBIES!!
Finalists were asked make a grayscale icon featuring something from a zombie-themed
game of their choice, and add text featuring a serifed font.

01	02

Voting style and layout lovingly ganked from nyaabo and adaneko's animanga_lims voting.

Voting will end in 24 hours on Sunday, October 10th at 11:00 PM PST.

I have no idea how many of you I'm eliminating this week. We may or may not have two more themes remaining. I was aiming for the next one to be our last but I would feel awful eliminating three people at once this round just because I suck at planning/math/life. Opinions?

Also, I'm really bad at math when I'm sick (worse than normal, apparently) and might have to toss in another theme, since I'd feel really bad eliminating three people at once this challenge.

Your icon must have an overall greenish color scheme, and must include 3 or more consecutive words from the provided lyrics:

The Power Of The Dragonflame by Rhapsody
Rise mighty dragon...

Rise, rise, rise, rise...
Mighty dragon rise!

Ruins of ancient wisdom closing now my darkest lonely eye
god is dead in Thorald and in Elnor's rhyme
Mutilated bodies are now carved in ancient holy stone
tragic decoration of unholy wars

The heart of the dragon is screaming awaiting
to write the black last page
The page of blood was written by them...
the dead now lying on the sand

Visions of disaster are now challenging the wild storms
cyclops of the midlands wash my bloody shore
Sirens from the open seas now heal my broken wounded brain
I call the holy typhoons... air, fire, earth!

The heart of the dragon is screaming awaiting
to write the black last page
The page of blood was written by them...
the dead now lying on the sand

FROM THE SILENT HILL WE SCREAM LOUD YOUR NAME
MIGHTY POWER OF THE DRAGONFLAME
FROM THE MOUNTAINS PROUD AND STRONG
WE CALL OUR DRAGONLORD

Mighty dragon rise... rise!

Energie di cosmi estinti gridano sangue
dalle terre dell'ignoto senza pieta'

The heart of the dragon is screaming awaiting
to write the black last page
The page of blood was written by them...
the dead now lying on the sand

FROM THE SILENT HILL WE SCREAM LOUD YOUR NAME
