    :p I didn't forget! I've sent it in, and for once I'm actually kind of please with what I came up with. Not that I ever really use selective colouring anyway...

    Hi! I just send my icon, but I forgot to write in PM that I changed username from LoveCSI to BlueStarligt. So don’t disqualify me (please), just change my name in list. Sorry for making problem.

    Ahh, okay, BlueStarlight! :) No worries, I'm not going to boot you out. :p (And thanks for your entry :))

    ETA: Sorry to butt in again, but I just wanted to say that Photobucket finally stopped hating me, so I have Hormiga's Gah! Award banner...

    Alrighty, people...I've got thirteen icons and two passes so far, which means *does impressive mental math* that I'm still missing three entries! You've still got a decent amount of time, so don't fret too much yet, but just make sure you don't forget. ;)

    Challenge #2 - No Selective Colouring - VOTING

    +Vote for the TOP 3 of least quality. Include a valid reason for each vote, otherwise it won't be counted.
    +ANY member of this board may vote.
    +The makers of the two icons with the highest number of votes will be eliminated from the challenge.
    +When voting, keep in mind that these icons were made without the use of selective colouring.

    Examples of good reasons (courtesy of Ann):
    50: The text is oddly placed
    68: The colouring is overpowering
    72: The icon is oversharpened
    56: The icon is too blurry

    Examples of bad reasons:
    51: I hate the colour pink. (Personal Preference)
    78: The tiny text/decorative brush is unreadable. (Because they’re supposed to be that way.)

    The following participants are using their free passes for this round:
    + dstined4gr8ness
    + ILuvJonathanTogo
    + roximonoxide
    + CSI_Kat

    As well, it is time to say goodbye to chocolate_bunnys, who has decided to drop out of LIMS in order to better focus on schoolwork. :) Thank you for participating in the last round, and good luck with your schooling!

    01.[​IMG] 02.[​IMG] 03.[​IMG] 04.[​IMG] 05.[​IMG] 06.[​IMG] 07.[​IMG] 08.[​IMG] 09.[​IMG] 10.[​IMG] 11.[​IMG] 12.[​IMG] 13.[​IMG]

    Good luck everybody!

    Important!: PM me, 4ENSIX, immediately if you don't see your icon!

    Gosh, it's still so hard! :lol: Great icons everyone, but I have to vote, so... :(

    10-- It's a little blurry around Stella's face
    05-- The colors look a little washed out and pale and the text is a little difficult to read in contrast to Calleigh
    13-- It's a little too dark and the colors are a little rough and overpowering

    Best of luck with your school work chocolate_bunnys. :)

    Yikes, these icons are amazing this time around but alas...

    13: Too much contrast and it's a little on the dark side. (That sounded so Darth Vader :lol:)
    10: Stella's features could use more sharpening.
    03: The text is oddly placed which separates the icon's subject in two -- Perhaps placing it further from the middle would deem easier to focus on the icon as a whole instead of just the text.

    10-stella could use a little more sharpening, and it seems that the image is skewed a bit.

    13- the contrast is a little overpowering- it could use a little more brightness to balance it out. Also the text kind of blends into the background and makes it difficult to read.

    3- the placement of the text takes away from the icon, i think that maybe it was placed there because it was hard to read anywhere else, but putting a little darker background behind the text would have made it a little more aesthetically pleasing.

    Great work everyone!

    13 - The colouring is too dark
    09 - The colours seem a bit off in this icon
    10 - Needs to be sharpened a bit more.

    5- I think I might understand what you went for here. The antique look? Unfortunately, it doesn't really work for this icon, and the text is a bit boring.
    9- Color is too orangish, and it's hard to see Danny's face.
    11- Very plain, the grey makes the icon look boring. I like the effects on the outside of the circle, though.

    Everyone did a great job here :)
