If you would like to know the comments your icon has received, leave a comment below with the number (not the filename number, alright?) corresponding to your icon. We will give them to you via a screened comment. All icon comments will remain anonymous. Also, please make sure that you would be able to handle the criticism before you ask for the comments.

The next challenge will be posted later on by honest_illusion so don't forget to check back!

We are now at the last leg of the contest! Or at least near it. :D The sixth challenge is now over and it's time for us to get your votes! Everyone can vote, even non-participants, but participants, keep in mind the rule about not showing your icon to anyone.

Out of 14 participants, there were 11 people who managed to get their icons in on time. We haven't received any icon entry from the following people: dreamergraphix, slowtrain and thelondonrain. We're very sorry but you cannot participate in the Narnia LIMS competition anymore.


VOTING RULES
01. You will be voting for the icon with LESSER QUALITY than the rest. This means your vote should be based on the QUALITY of the icon, and not because you dislike the icon or a certain style used. Take notice of the technical aspects of the icon -- cropping, colouring, sharpening, text placement, brushwork, etc.

02. Comment to this post with THREE (3) icons. For each icon, we HIGHLY SUGGEST including a reason why you have chosen to vote for them. The explanation does not have to lengthy, a simple

44. There are too many brushes, and the subject is being crowded out because of it.
is enough. However, this is not mandatory, but we believe that it can be a good source of improvement if the icon maker voted out asks for them (everything will remain anonymous).

Again REMEMBER: We're not asking if you like the colors used or some other thing you prefer. You're supposed to be looking at the technicalities of how the icon was made. From now on, any votes that state personal preference as a reason will not be counted.

Remember -- THREE icons! All comments are screened.

03. Under the list of your voted lesser quality icons, include your choice of ONE FAVOURITE ICON in the set for the Viewer's Choice Icon. You do not need to include a reason for this.

VOTING ENDS FEBRUARY 09, 8:00 PM EST.

A reminder: Lately, we've noticed that the comments you give are based on your personal taste of style, which totally GOES AGAINST the first rule. We're not asking if you like the colors used or some other thing you prefer. You're supposed to be looking at the technicalities of how the icon was made. From now on, any votes that state personal preference as a reason will not be counted.

Voting's over! We have tallied the votes and here are the results (albeit late, so do forgive us? :D). Again, it's regrettable to say that mycautionfix cannot participate in the competition anymore, as she hasn't submitted an icon in the last round.

And now, we have to say goodbye to three (3) people.

We'd also like to announce that we've decided on a prize for whoever ends up as a winner of the this competition. It's still undetermined how many months we'll be giving out, but what is sure is that we'll be giving the winner paid LJ time. It's a thank you as well for joining us in this competition. :)

Yeah, I didn't want to do this and litter the comm, but c'mon you guys -- we still need 17 10 entries; there have only been 16 22 out of 33 participants who have sent in their entry. I know it's still more than a day away, but it's never too bad to remind you guys, right? :D

Make a comment with your entry at the challenge post and not on this one. :)

Updated 06 January

And to get things on schedule (despite being at least 5 hours behind), you immediately get the second challenge. :) I hope everyone had lots of fun welcoming the New Year!

RULES
1. You may only participate if you made it through Challenge 01.

2. Standard LJ icon requirements apply, meaning nothing larger than 100x100 pixels or 40 KB. You cannot share your icon with anyone, not until this challenge is over.

3. The icon must be new and fresh. This means that you cannot submit an icon you've made before even if it features the picture/s provided for you. Make a new one.

4. Brushes, textures, stock images, text, anything but getting another person to make the icon for you are allowed. ;) However, the only Narnia-related image/s you'll be allowed to use are those provided in the cut below.

5. You have until January 06, 10 PM EST to submit your icons. If you have no idea of how that translates to your local time, you can make use of this time zone converter. Failure to submit within the appointed time will disqualify you from the competition.

6. All icons can be submitted by making a comment on this post. Please include the actual image and the URL to the image. All comments are screened. If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask -- just make it in a comment separate to the one with your entry.


CHALLENGE 02: Peter Pevensie / Sir Peter Wolf's-Bane, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion
(Peter was knighted after he killed Maugrim, and while Aslan did give him the first title, I assumed he was also given the second title because of that occurence. I'm not entirely sure if one can actually knighted twice.)

( There are four images to choose from.Collapse )

Happy New Year, everyone!

I apologize for this being late, I didn't expect to be away almost the entire day. =\ Anyway, voting is now closed (well, it has been closed for at least 8 hours). The votes have been tallied and we now have the results.

First off, we would just like to repeat that the following weren't able to send in an entry: cuendillar, poetrytoprose, forbiddenstorm, juxticons, kitty17794, purplesahorse, songbound, talk_back, and wikidwitch and we are sorry but you cannot participate in the competition anymore.

And it just sucks to be letting go of some people during the first day of a new year, but we shall have to say goodbye to three (3) people.
