15 - as gorgeous as Greggo is, it's too blurry

11 - I'm not sure what you call it, but the coloring seems a bit off.

20 - the text is very hard to read.

6-color too pale.

i hate voting for the "worst" ones... :(
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now

07: A little bit oversharpened, which lowers the quality of the icon, making it difficult to see.

11: Not enough contrast, which whites-out most of the icon's subject.

15: Lovely colouring, but the icon's subject is a cropped inward, lowering the quality and the blurred effect would have been really great for the icon, had there been a little more sharpening and contrast.

15: Too blurry. Looks like the softening tool was used just a bit too much, instead of looking dreamy it looks unfocused.

11: Too light. The contrast isn't up to the same level as the lightness.

18: This has the potential of a fantastic icon, but the cropping is a bit...unfortunate... for lack of a better word. Her head seems to be sitting on the edge of the icon.

sorry guys. it was really hard to choose!

7- Looks grainy.
11-Too bright. It makes Jorja look really pale.
15-Really blurry, could've eased up on the blur tool.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now

ERgh, this is so hard to do! I feel so aweful! The icons are really beautiful though!

18-Marg's postioning is slightly...odd. It would ahve been better to maybe have her up a bit or something?

15- It's really quite blurry. Even though I think it was intentional, maybe if it wasn't quite so blurry, it be slightly...better, if that's the right word?

11-Jorja is quite bright, and it makes her kinda blend together and/or look a bit washed out.

Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now

15 - too blurry
7 - not clear enough...it's almost impossible to see who that is
11 - too bright
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now

15- I can see what kind of look you were going for here. And if it had been just a little less blurry, I think it would have been pulled off quite nicely. I think it was just blurred a little too much, but other than that everything looks good.

7- Black and white photos are very hard to work with. There isn't much that can be done except for sharpness/softness and brushes or textures. This one was oversharpened a bit, which makes the grainy look.

11- Too much contrast, and too much brightness. The combanation of the two don't go well together if there are too much of both. Jorja kinda looks like a big white blur. A little bit of a blue hue could have been added and maybe a sepia colored tone as well. The text was expertly placed, though :D

I do hope to see you guys in the next one, though! Thanks for joining us!

And introducing...

THE GAH! AWARD

(Just ask Ann or Lilly - I say, "Gah!" all the time when I see a lovely icon :))

Unfortunately, my Photobucket now thinks I'm the stupidest person alive and is retaliating by uploading everything I throw at it except the banner I made. So, until further notice, I apologize to all the winners of this prestigious ( :lol: ) award. I will make the banners, but I cannot guarantee that my Photobucket will like them. But anyway, the winner for this week is...

I thought this one was so lovely...I don't know of too many people who can achieve colouring like this, and those who can do it without layers are rarer still! Absolutely gorgeous, and also appeals to the font whore in me...I must know what it is! :lol: Excellent work, I think. :) Again, I apologize for not having a banner for you. I will as soon as possible.

Congratulations, everybody! I must now confess that I'll be out of town for two weeks and so LIMS will sadly be put on hold until I return, but rest assured that it is not over. :) As always, feel free to PM me if you have questions.
