Congratulations to everyone. Oh, and I won't be posting the vote totals: I always hate seeing them.
obvme: Well! The icon is altogether quite nice, of course. The text along the bottom is slightly difficult to read, I wouldhave left off the brush/texture behind it and possibly used a sharper font. The eye on used is very striking, along with that yellowed look to it.
wilde_moon: The monotone look works well for you, but I find the text is a little bit misplaced, as if you weren't quite sure where to put it so smooshed it into the corner. I do enjoy the lightning look from the right eye, but the left could have used something as well, as the icon is a bit lopsided right now.
opendestiny: I like the animation here, but the tiny, blurry text really distracts from the icon itself. It might have been more striking as per the lyrics if the blue eye was the one that we faded too quickly and then rested on another color. I'd add a border and work on clarifying the text.
Remember that Icons for Challenge Two: Dancing Through Life are due on Friday the 14th. That gives you a little bit less than a week to enter if you haven't.
And PLEASE pimp out this community to your friends, associates, and other communities if you can. I don't imagine the next challenge running for a year is something ANY of us want. Thanks a lot!
Winners: Do you want banners? I... well, suck? at banner making, but I can give it a whirl if you really want the shiny.
