LIMS #5: Final Results Now Up!

Re: LIMS #5: Challenge 5 ~ No Textures

LIMS #5: Challenge 5: No Textures

Last time, we had no layers, which many people find difficult, so this one (I think) is a bit easier. No textures are allowed! (This includes light textures)

The Caps:
This round will feature the lovely Calleigh Duquesne. And yes, I realize that she's wearing black in every picture :lol:

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
Option 5

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 1 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 Monday March 31st. No extensions will be given.

Alright. I think that's everything, so go to it, and have fun :)

^^Sorry about that. I was in a hurry yesterday :vulcan:

Okay, a basic idea... a layer (besides the base, of course) that isn't a solid color.
So, a blue layer on burn or screen or such is fine, but not a layer of blue and green swirled together.

Hope that makes sense.


Also, while I'm here, I've currently got 5/14 entries, and deadline is Monday!

Just got mine in! Nervous but excited to see the others.
 
Re: LIMS #5: Challenge 5 ~ No Textures

Mine's in as well. :D I can't wait to see how everyone did! I'm also a bit nervous as well--I hadn't realized how much I sometimes depend on textures to add that something extra to my icons. The whole time I was thinking "oh yeah, crap, I can't use those" :lol:

Re: LIMS #5: Challenge 5 ~ No Textures

this was way hard....
least

5 - the text is hard to read...i don't know if that was on purpose or not...
1- herveyes look like the color has been enhanced too much. its all i see when i look at it
10-the bw box is a bit...out of place i'm not sure if it's the crop or not

Best

2- awesome crop. love the color isolation
6-good coloring and text placement
 
Re: LIMS #5: Challenge 5 ~ Voting Open!

LQ:

8-Not a good cropp, dark and a little bit blurry.
10-The idea is good but it appears washed out.
11-Too much empty space on the left, maybe if the text outstanded a little bit more it would have looked better.

BQ:

4-Good combination of colour and b/w and nice use of brushes/fonts.
3-Nice colouring and simplicity.
 
Re: LIMS #5: Challenge 5 ~ Voting Open!

Least Quality:
8- The image is too dark in areas.
5- The text seems to disappear into the background.
10- The position of the bw image draws your attention away from beautiful colouring behind it.

Best Quality:
3- I love the clouring
2- I like the cropping and the use of the single colour ;)
 
Re: LIMS #5: Challenge 5 ~ Voting Open!

10 - the cropping in the b&w box is odd and unflattering, and doesn't seem to fit the overall effect of the icon
06 - the text is distracting because of the placement and color
05 - odd crop and the text doesn't stand out enough

12 - great composition and coloring
07 - great coloring and cropping
