Icon Talent

wizardiconstuff — Thu, 18 May 2006 03:30:41 GMT

I thought it would be a neat idea to keep a running list of the icon talent in the community (and their icon journals). This list is linked in the sidebar of the layout.

Requirements:
1.) You have to be a current member to be on the list. If you leave the community, your name will be removed from this list!
2.) You must have won at least THREE awards at wizard_icontest. (see awards below)

Awards Include:
1.) All places in regular challenges (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Mod's Choice)
2.) LIMS awards, like favorite icon (also overall winner ♥)
3.) Icon of the Month ♥ (also icon of the year ♥)

If you'd like to be included in the list, just comment with your username and/or where we can find all your icons, whether its a website or an icon journal. I'll also need to know how many awards you've won so far. If you don't know, check the results in the previous challenges.

Once you're on the list, your tally will be updated automatically each time you win an award.

NOTE: This list is normally updated on Wednesdays, so it may be a few days before I can get back to you!

Suggestion Box

wizardiconstuff — Thu, 18 May 2006 03:29:00 GMT

Here's the Suggestion Box. Comment here with any ideas for future challenges. We now mostly need suggestions of Theme. So go ahead, this is your chance to tell US what to do!

Theme Challenge:
alexia_drake "Stripes" You can use pictures from the HP movies or the HP Actors out of character, as long as we can see two or more stripes in any way. It can be striped clothes, striped background, striped textures, stripes manually drawn with your program, etc.
alexia_drake "Three" The 3 things can be anything you want; like 3 characters, 3 words, 3 images (or the same image duplicated 3 times), or add 3 textures to decorate your icons, etc.
alexia_drake "Layers" Your icons must have at least two layers. It doesn't have to be different images, just two or more layers. (If you need examples, here's two made by me: Narcissa & Draco and Two Draco's)
alexia_drake "Internet Slang" You must include some type of internet slang on your icons that feature one or more characters, ie: HBIC, HWIC,(Hot Witch In charge) BRB, IDK, LOL, LMAO, HAWT, etc.
alexia_drake "Headless" It sounds a little creepy, but what I mean is that we can't see their head. Cropping the image above the mouth or on the nose is acceptable, but if we can see the eyes it's too much.
alexia_drake "Mysterious Crop" Crop an image of one of more characters in a more mysterious/creative way. Like cropping a hand, an arm, etc. Part of the face is ok, as long as we don't see all of it. If you think that we might not be able to know which character is in the icon, you can add their name or some text that would give hints.
alexia_drake "Full Body" Easy, the body of the character(s) or actor(s) must be visible from head to shoes.
alexia_drake "Profile" At least one character has to be seen from their profile. (aka we should only see one side of their face)
alexia_drake "Blurry Background" Use any "blur/smudge" tools or effects on the background of your icon(s). Textures can be added to the icon(s) before making it blurry to add interesting shapes and colors.
alexia_drake "Fugitive"/"In Hiding" - A lot of people are hiding/missing in the series, so any Death Eater, Sirius, Olivander, Stan, etc, in any place except with other people(cause it have to look like they're hiding somewhere) would fit.
alexia_drake "Future Career" - Make an icon with one character (a student, not someone who already have a Job) and add the name of the Career we think/would like to see him/her do after school.
alexia_drake "What Animals Thinks" - Participants would have to make an icon with any animals of any HP movies, with words to express/tell what they're thinking!
alexia_drake "Weird Pairings" - You have to make icons with 2 characters that would probably be friends with/date anybody but the person you put him/her with, het or slash. Ex.: Dumbledore/Colin C, Minerva/Tom Riddle, Lucius/Ginny, Rita S./Stan.
alexia_drake "Deepest Desire" - Make an icon with a character and for the text, write what we think/wants them to Desire most.
alexia_drake "Darkness" - No bright icon, just something/someone in the dark, could be achieved through textures/effects.
alexia_drake "Duplicated Image" - You may use any Harry Potter image you'd like but the image must be doubled in some way. (might have to provide an userpic as exemple)
madje85 "Rotated" - The image in your icons have to be rotated of at least 10 degrees. Of course, it can be more than that, like 35, 90, 160, 270, 345 degrees, etc.
