Forum MVP: IconiBLAST!! ♥

[GM_Bondo]

The time has come. A new day dawns on the Solstice forums... it is the day of...IconiBLAST!



While browsing the forums, choosing an avatar, designing a signature, and all of that other good stuff... I noticed something sad - Solstice has no fan-made avatar icons!

What We Seek:

Original icons featuring Secret of the Solstice. What about the game would you proudly like to sport on your profile? Battle? Monsters? Gear? Special outfits?

Other games have fan-made icons... let's show them what we're made of and show off our skills!



Rules:

*Must be a maximum of 200 by 200 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller!).
*Must include either Solstice, Secret of the Solstice, or the Solstice logo.
*Must be created for this contest. No prior creations will be accepted.
*No nudity or profanity, masked or otherwise.
*Needs to be PG! (pretty please! ♥)

*No violating the Terms of Service.

*Posting on other threads will not count!

*Entries MUST be turned in by 5 March, 2010, before midnight PST.
*Winners will be announced by 12 March 2010 at the latest, with rewards soon after. :)



Prizes:

THREE winners as well as TWO runner-ups! Not only will your icon be added to the forums for all to use, but the first 3 places will receive an Emote Grab Bag Designed by Bondo!!*


♥I look forward to seeing all of your WONDERFUL entries!! Let's show Solstice some love!!! ♥


*Please stick to the mvp rules, located: http://www.outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244592

[GM_Nekopon]

I can't enter, can I?

Good luck with your contest. <3

[GM_Bondo]

Thanks, Nekopon! :)

I am looking forward to so many, many entries. :)

[agha_torab]

(Deleting my entry because I think the badge expiration is lame.)

[bakenekosoul]

HERE IS MY ENTRY :3

C:\Users\Bakeneko\Documents\NEKO.jpg

[bakenekosoul]

Oh i think i do a mistake u.u i dont know how to send a image u.u

[deoxys114]

Upload it to Photobucket.com, then post the link.

[agha_torab]

Added two more to my post ;x

[GM_Razia]

Icons! How exciting~~

We had a lot of awesome icon submissions for Fiesta, and I can't wait to see what Solstice is capable of. Good luck, everyone! <3

[opensunflowers]

LOL Agha, the Fly one cracks me up. xD

[bloodly-chan]

Where is my weed one? D<

[agha_torab]

Ok I will make 3 more ;x Weed, donkey, and need to think of a 3rd >;

[GM_Bondo]

As long as they meet the guidelines for size..and the other rules....^__^.

[agha_torab]

I just realized my entries didn't fit the criteria. I actually don't understand the 200x200 or 19.5 kb thing. Can I make one that is 200x200 but a little larger than 19.5? Like this:

I think if it's either higher than 200x200 OR higher than 19.5KB, it's disqualified. I could be wrong though o___O?

Mmk, sooooo after spending time on this thing, I sort of just made this ! Was frustrating >>;;;

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/Grapefruithead/SoSicon1a.jpg

[GM_Bondo]

Keep 'em coming!

The size limit is due to that being the existing size limit for avatars on the forums. ♥

Must keep it fair to existing parameters!!

[GM_Bondo]

Beautiful icons!!

♥ I hope to see many more! ♥

Just please remember to follow the SIZE rules (first page!! - it's whichever is smallest! not biggest!!) so that we can use them. I would have to not be able to let people win if they are too big!!! *weeps into my lace hanky* After all, these will be your forum icons for your posting joy!! ♥♥

you said 200 by 200 pixels is that wrong lol? because it looks bigger then current icons

[GM_Bondo]

Or the Kb size, whichever is smaller. :)

[rainielove]

e.e...200x200 cnt possible b under 19.5 kb xD
lolol ._.;;

[GM_Bondo]

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't... that's why I gave both measurements. :)

I know it can be irritating. :( Most icons I use on my profile page here are 100x100 and around 20kb. =\

[GM_Bondo]

They were!!! I wish I had more room for winners, I loved every one of them.

*weeps into my lacy hanky* But we pooled together and...these were our favorites!!!

(we all know if it was entirely up to me, every icon would be poofy and girly!! tee hee hee ♥)

I love our winning entries, and I look forward to more contests with all of you!! ♥

[GM_Phibes]

Just to clarify for everyone. Only ONE icon was picked for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place. Bondo posted all the winners' entries to show everyone all the art they entered, but nobody was chosen based on how many entries they put in. The icons were judged individually.

Big Congrats to the winners and everyone who participated! I will be putting your prizes in your inventories this week!
