Icon/Avatar Contest!

Post by AlphaWolf »

Opening:
Spoiler
So, I'm looking for a new icon for magistream. I love my...creature that I have now but I feel its time for something a little more 'Alpha'/'Wolf'. I have two ideas that I would like to see come to life, so there will be two categories, each with a first and second place.

I'd love if the entries were colored pictures (digital, traditional, pixel, etc...) as I really don't want a lot of black. It can be any size (I can resize no problem if you don't wish to). The entries don't need to be super detailed, but I'd like it so that it has enough detail to where it doesn't look...well, lazy.

The ideas are two very different things but I'd like to see what people come up with regardless. The prizes will be listed in the spoiler beneath the category name. Good luck everyone!


Paw Print (A fair amount of creative freedom)
Spoiler
((Release Date))

ImageImageImageImage - +40k (Second Place)

So, what I'm looking for is obviously a paw print (claws included). However, instead of a normal paw print, I'd like it to have a somewhat interesting design to it/in it. In the design, I'd like it to include one or more of the following themes:
-Dream Catchers
-Flames/Fire
-Moon/Sun
-Tiger Lilies
-Mountain Scene
-Feathers

Color wise, theres no real restrictions but if there could be as little pink as possible, then I would be grateful~

Brass Knuckles (More specific, but still a small amount of freedom)
Spoiler
((Release Date))
ImageImageImageImage - +50k (First Place)

ImageImageImageImage - +40k (Second Place)

For this, I'm looking for something rather easy and simple.
I'd like to see some brass knuckles with a rose either coiled with the brass knuckles or somewhere behind/in front/beside it. I'd also like to have a banner (above or below the knuckles) with the text "Fight for Love" in a font that fits the picture. The writing can't be too small, but I don't want it huge either.
For the banner, I wouldn't want just a white rectangle but something more...scroll like I guess; to make it look good.
The rose can be whatever color looks good, but try to stay away from black. The brass knuckles can also be any color as long as it matches in a way.

Closing:
Spoiler
So, thats pretty much it. If theres any questions or anything, feel free to post here or shoot me a PM, I'm fine either way. ^^

The contest will close on July 31st, 2012 August 31st, 2012 September 15th, 2012 at 5:00 pm EST to give people enough time (but I have a feeling that I may end up extending it if I don't get enough entries). Thanks again! I may edit this post if I happened to have forgotton something~

I think I'll try for the pawprint and I'll probably fail miserably... How many are we allowed to enter?

Yay! You're allowed to enter as many as you want, but only one of your entries would win (if they're in the same category).

Mmm, I was thinking of giving it a go... I'm just lost as to what exactly you want.
What colours do you like, do not like etc

I left out the colors for a reason as I was rather undecided on them. I'm wanting to see what other users might come up with and give some more freedom with choice.
However, if there could be as little pink as possible with the paw print, theres really no restrictions. Oh, and preferably not a black rose if the choice is the brass knuckles...
