Icon Challenge #51 - Marley And Me ~ Winners Up!

Ok new challenge here we go .

Here are the RULES – please read them carefully before creating your icon and entering it:

[1] You can enter up to 4 icons = 3 100 x100 icons + 1 icon in the size 140x140, using the caps provided below. PLEASE NOTE - if you are going to make more than 1 icon, please use a different image for each one.

[2] You have until 3 p.m. GMT+1 Sunday 24th May (If you need this extending due to RL (I for one know how this can be) I'd happily extend it for you but you have to let me know ASAP) to complete your icon and submit it. PM your entry to me, shazza_018.

[3] Your icons must be 100x100 or 140x140 pixels in size – if it is any bigger, it will be re-sized, and those never look so good. So please make sure to make your icon so it is those particular sizes. ***this is important I don't want to have to resize icons myself as it is time consuming and will delay voting being put so please size your enteries correctly.

[4] I don’t want to see any vulgar words or phrases in the icons. If there is something in them that can be considered offensive, your icon will not be accepted.

[5] You may use the caps I provide or have a look in the gallery links I will provide. Please use the caps in these gallery only.

[6] No animated icons

[7] We're going to try catergories for this challenge cause I think this is much more better and fair on everyone. There are THREE categories to this challenge - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (If entering in Intermediate level, please include a second level -either Beginner and Advanced- incase there isn't enough entries for 3 levels) Please go the Fan Art Forum if you need help determining what category to enter. Please be fair to others. If you keep winning in beginners, move up to intermediate; let someone else win beginners and see if you place in intermediate and so on. That's how you get better, by challenging yourself.

[8] Most importantly, as this is an anonymous challenge, YOU MUST NOT POST YOUR ICONS HERE (or anywhere else). If you do, you will be disqualified. This is make sure that the voting is unbiased, and so everyone has a fair chance of winning a banner.

Awww, yay! What a great theme! I just watched this for the first time recently, and completely fell in love with it I'm definitely in!

 

Re: Icon Challenge #51 - Marley And Me ~ Join Now!

I'm totally in. Hopefully I can get some in by Wednesday night. I'll be out of town without internet access from Thursday morning until Sunday afternoon. but, I'll probably make the icons today or tomorrow.

The 24th is actually a Sunday so do you mean Saturday May 23 or Sunday May 24

 

Re: Icon Challenge #51 - Marley And Me ~ Join Now!

Oh thanks for point that out Jacquie .

I meant Sunday I just typed in Saturday by mistake

 

Re: Icon Challenge #51 - Marley And Me ~ Join Now!

Sorry about that, Nikky. My VLC player always makes caps dark and I don't have a high def graphics card (can't afford one). I wish I had thought to fix all the caps and make them brighter before uploading. I do that sometimes, but I just forgot with those.

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do with the settings (on the VLC player) to make the caps not as dark? All my CSI ones come out dark too (that's partly the lighting though).

 

Re: Icon Challenge #51 - Marley And Me ~ Join Now!

Damn can't edit my post but yes it's fine to use those too!
I'll try to find HQ caps next time!
