Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures - Now Up! Alright, time for the next challenge! LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures! Another odd challenge, guys. I'm providing 4 different textures (all by 77words). You have to choose and use one of them to create your icon. You can choose whatever picture from whichever show (only screencaps though), you can blend 2 or more pics, and use all of the techniques available to you. The only restriction is to make use of one of the provided textures. Textures: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa169/adzix87/LIMS/t1.png http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa169/adzix87/LIMS/t2.png http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa169/adzix87/LIMS/t3.png http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa169/adzix87/LIMS/t4.png Rules * You have to use one texture from the ones provided above. * Choose your own screencap(s) from any CSI show. * All effects, including blending, layers, text, brushes etc. allowed and welcome. * No animations allowed. * Your entry icon has to be 100x100 pixels in size, and in PNG, JPG or GIF format * To submit an entry PM me, Adzix, ONE icon that follows the rules stated above. Please include a link and the icon itself. In the title of your PM put LIMS Challenge 9. * The challenge is anonymous. Do not go and ask people to vote for your icon, it's so not cool. Also, do not post your icon anywhere until after the results of this challenge are posted. * If you would like to use your free pass for this challenge, you MUST send me a PM to say so. If you forget, you will be automatically eliminated. * Deadline is Thursday, November 27th. Questions? Concerns?
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures - Now Up! Question: Can I use more than 1 texture? Example: I use 2 of the textures provided or I use 1 of the texture provided and another from my own collection?
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures ~ Now Up! Cool idea !!! I have a question, can the textures be altered? I mean change the color, opacity, clone parts, make them black and white...
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures ~ Now Up! MelC, you are allowed to use more than one texture, no matter if it is one provided by me, or one from your own collection. Daquien, yes the textures may be altered. ETA: except the clonning and cutting part. you can't take only one 10x10 piece from the texture and clone it. the texture has to be used as a whole. you can, however, change the color, opacity, etc. I just need to be able to recognize which one you used when i look at your icon. If you are using two from the ones i provided, i need to recognize just one of them. I hope that answers your questions.
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures ~ Now Up! Ok i think I understand, i'll see what I can come up with
Re: LIMS #6 Challenge 9: Textures ~ Now Up! Just an early reminder that the deadline is in two days, November 27. I'm missing two more entries.
