Sat Aug 27, 2011

I want to have a new icon (a.k.a. avatar), so I decided to arrange a contest to get a new one!
My current icon is made by =Adreos and it has served me very well for a long time.
So thank you =Adreos for making me this icon! :heart:

But now it is time for a new one.
:iconbummiesplz:

The Rules

:bulletorange: Make me an icon that I can use here in deviantART. More information about dA icons can be found here [link] and here [link]
:bulletorange: Icon must look good in dA-size (50 * 50 pixels). If you make the original icon in bigger size, post also smaller version so that I can see the final look. I want ready-for-use icon so that I don't have to shrink or do anything else for it before I can use it!
:bulletorange: All kind of medias are accepted: traditional, digital, pixel, animated etc.
:bulletorange: If you use stocks or bases make sure that you follow owner's rules and credit them properly.
:bulletorange: Icon must be designed for me and for this particular contest.
:bulletyellow::bulletyellow::bulletyellow: You can use my OCs [link] or some other theme you think fits for me.
:bulletyellow::bulletyellow::bulletyellow:  I have a permission to use the winning icons (places 1 - 3) here in dA as my icon in any time. I'll give you credit of the icon in my signature the whole time I am using the icon – so it is like an ongoing feature for you!
:bulletyellow::bulletyellow::bulletyellow: If your icon wins (places 1 - 3) you can't give any other person permission to use that particular icon. However, if you don't place in a group of first three, you can sell or do whatever you want with your contest entry unless there is my OC (my OCs are © to me so of course no-one else can't use them).
:bulletorange: You can enter as many times as you want.


Prizes

1st place:
:bulletorange: A5 sized picture from me: fully colored, one or two characters, shipping worldwide*
:bulletorange: 300 dA points from me :points:

2nd place:
:bulletorange: Double ACEO from me, shipping worldwide
:bulletorange: 200 dA points from me :points:

3rd place:
:bulletorange: ACEO from me, shipping worldwide
:bulletorange: 100 dA points from me :points:

All contestants:
:bulletorange: A feature in my journal

*If you don't want to give me your real address for shipping I can also send you high-quality scan via e-mail.


Contest Time

:bulletorange: Deadline is Monday 3rd of October 2011
:bulletyellow::bulletyellow::bulletyellow: You have about six weeks to enter!
:bulletyellow::bulletyellow::bulletyellow:  Entries that are submitted earlier than 27th or August are not accepted.
:bulletyellow::bulletyellow::bulletyellow:  Entries that are submitted after 3rd of October are not accepted (time zones are of course taken into account).


Judging

:bulletorange: Obviously I am judging because the result will be for my personal use. So the judging is based frankly on my own opinion and preferences.
:bulletorange: Shortly: the winner is the one I like best and want to show as my icon!


Any questions? Do not hesitate to ask!

If you know some artists you think might want to enter feel free to advertise this contest to them!

Bah, I didn't get a chance to enter. :( Ah well. There's a lot of good ones for you to choose from!

Too bad, it would have been great to see your entry also!
Now I finally managed to decide the winners - :phew: - that was lots of harder than I thought when I made this contest!

They were all so well done, but I think you managed to choose the best ones. I figured the one by ~Shana100 would be in the top 3, if not #1. That one was my favorite (and apparently yours too!). :D

A bit different than other icons, but I'm not really an icon artist. The things I do are usually... original :P
