    LIMS #5: Challenge 6: Black and White

    This time, all the icons must be in black and white (and greyscale, of course). And because I'm feeling particularly evil, there can be no colour at all in your icons. This includes text and brushes. No Color!

    The Caps:
    This round will New York's Danny Messer, as chosen by dstined4gr8ness.

    Remember, you must use these caps and ONLY these caps to make your icon. Thanks to Modern Day Gallery for the caps!
    Option 1
    Option 2
    Option 3
    Option 4

    Rules:
    ~ This is an anonymous challenge, so don't go posting your icon anywhere until this round is over.
    ~ Your icon must not exceed 100x100px. It should be in .jpg, .png or .gif format.
    ~ No animations will be permitted.
    ~ Submit your icon by sending me (DragonflyDreamer) a PM with the subject line LIMS Round 6 or similar.
    ~ You may submit only ONE icon
    ~ If you wish to use your free pass for this round, you MUST send me a PM to let me know. Otherwise it won't count, and you will be disqualified.
    ~ The deadline for submissions will be Friday, April 11th. No extensions will be given.

    Least:
    05 - oversharpened

    Best
    04 - great effects used that together make a beautiful icon

    Re: LIMS #5: Challenge 6 ~ Black and White - Voting Open!

    LQ:

    2- Too dark and the text is too big, making Danny being secondary on the icon.
    5- Oversharpened.

    BQ:

    6- The mask works well.
    4- Nice crop and effects.

    Wow, this is hard! Everyone did a great job.

    Least Quality

    02 - Danny is too dark so the first thing you see is the text which distracts from Danny.
    04 - The image is overexposed.

    Best Quality

    06 - Everything is cool - the mask, the sparkles on the edges, the crop. Great work!
    05 - There's a lot going on in the icon but it doesn't distract from the main thing, Danny. And the blending with the hand is cool.

    Least:
    5 - The icon is overshared all around. And the clone of the pointing finger is quite distracting form the rest of the icon.
    4 - Danny is to light and is blending into the background.

    Best:
    1

    Least Quality
    04: A bit washed out. A little bit more contrast would have gone a long way.
    02: Cool concept and probably would have worked exceptionally well in colour, but Danny is darker than everything else which makes him blend in too much.

    Top Quality
    06: Everything goes together well, the black/white isn't too washed out or too dark. The brushes/light textures add a great effect!
    05: Everything's clear, not oversharpened in my opinion and the closeup of his hand adds a nice touch.

    Great job everyone!
