Last Icon Maker Standing - Version V

Welcome to the fifth version of CoS' LIMS competition.

You'll find the list of participants below. The icon maker remain anonymous unless they reveal themselves.

Please remember that you are not allow to join this LIMS. But if you would like to join, you're welcome to do so in the next LIMS.

You want to vote, but not take part? No problem. Everyone is welcome to vote here.

Please come in, lay down in the sand and relax... Welcome to the Island!

Rules 1) Anyone with a graphics program may join. You don’t not have to be a regular participant in the Graphics Contest thread to participate in this one. 2) Once you enter you must commit fully to the competition. If you fail to submit your graphic for the week you are automatically “voted off the island”. 3) You may not enter the contest once it starts. We will have more LIMS competitions in the future; you may take part in those. 4) Please, do not enter if you are easily offended or if you cannot take constructive criticism. Just remember eventually everyone but one contestant is going to have to 'leave the island'. 5) Please submit only your original work. Make new graphics each week as well and do not post them anywhere on COS until after the weeks round is over. 7) Each week the maintainers of the LIMS thread will come up with a topic. It is then your job to submit you entry to NadineTink by owl. Please in your subject line put the week of the contest we are on. Do not post your entries in the thread or they will be disqualified. 8) Your graphics along with the other contestant’s will posted anonymously on a table to assure that people are voting for the graphic rather then the person. You will then vote for the one you like the least or would “vote off the island”. You must state why you chose this one and offer some constructive criticism. I wish to make this competition a learning experience as well. 9) Anyone may vote at any time even if you were voted out of the competition.

Time • Submissions start at Sunday, 23 GMT, and go until Saturday 23 GMT. This is a full six days to submit entries to NadineTink via owl. Each submission period is one week. A notice will be posted in this thread when submissions open or close. • From Saturday to Sunday, we will be voting. This gives us a full 24 hours each week to vote. All the entries will be displayed in a single post. Voting starts when the tables are posted and will run for the next 24 hours after that.

Yes, you're right.

[griffiegrrl]

Or grr, you HAD to pick a screenshot I've tried to use for icons beore but it never worked out x(

Oh well, I guess it'll force me to be extra creative. ;D

[TurtleTape]

Now this is gonna be interesting...I'm not that good at coloring...as we all saw with the wonderful Lupin from time before last where his eyes were bright yellow, my friend said he looked like he was full of pee hehe... lol

[shmcminn]

[8m57w6]

Yay, new contest, new thread, new challenge. Good luck to all. Hey, Sage, would you mind if I helped out with the chocolate stand? I make excellent brownies.

[Rell]

ooh, this picture has so much potential - I LOVE the expressions on everyone's faces!

8m, a brownie stand sounds awesome!

*continues to hand out chocolate*

[shmcminn]

*takes some chocolate*

I just sent in my entry cuz I know I won't have any time this week. Normally I wouldn't be too worried because it's only the first round but looking at this year's roster it looks like eveyone has a lot of talent

[Lillbet]

Ooh, I'm scared. Someone hold me?

And feed me (dark) chocolate?

This is gonna be fun!

[annie_magus]

With all the choco floating around here, the dementors would have to be desperate to be hanging out here.

Good luck to all.
