I'm glad that I polled y'all! It seems that most people here don't like making PGSM icons, which is most likely why none of you participated in the contest last week! I personally like PGSM iconnage myself, so I never would have realized that no one else does without a prod!
Everyone is pretty split between anime and manga...it is 50/50 at the moment. I will focus much more heavily on these two and only splatter in PGSM occasionally [during heavy participation months, perhaps..].
What do y'all think? *tilts head*

In honor of this Friday being St. Patrick's Day, I have decided that this week's theme will feature some of our lovely ladies who can often be found adorned in shades of green. :-)
WEEK 42: Seeing Green
BLANK:
(
blank can also be found here.)

here to see a picture of the lovely princess of Jupiter!!!! [created by Orion]
Sub-Theme: This week's sub-theme is GREEN. Your icon does NOT have to feature a "green" senshi, however, your icon MUST incorporate shades of green. [As you can see from looking at the icon that I'm posting this with, even Ami can be green if you let her! ^.~) Not blue, not red...........GREEN!!!!
You may submit UP TO THREE ICONS by posting a comment to this post! Submissions to any other posts will be disqualified. Icons are due Friday, March 17th, at 8 p.m. EST......I'm sure I'll be GREEN with envy when I see them! ^.~
The rules and guidelines for this type of challenge are as follows:
(1) You may enter up to THREE icons each week, one from each category. More than one icon in given category will result in disqualification.
(2) When giving an overall theme, you must relate your icon to said theme in some way, which is open for interpretation. For example, if the overall, general theme is "use the color pink," then I expect all three icons to utilize some shade of pink. [Further clarification? This week's blanket theme is "Together Forever."]
(3) All icons must fit LJ standards--they can be no bigger than 40k or 100x100 pixels. They must be in one of three formats--".gif," ".jpg," or ".png."
*(4)* BLANKS are images that are already 100x100 pixels. You may ONLY work with the blank provided--you cannot include other photographs, find a bigger version of the picture, etc. YOU MUST USE THE BASE PROVIDED.
*(5)* IMAGES are huge pictures that you are given a link to. You can crop the picture anyway that you want, as long as it comes out to 100x100 pixels. You may ONLY work with the image provided--you cannot include other photographs, find a bigger version of the picture, etc. YOU MUST USE THE IMAGE PROVIDED. If you find a version of the picture with higher resolution, comment and let the mod know--we'll up the better version for EVERYONE to use so that it is fair.
*(6)* The SUB-THEME is a theme that is added ON TOP OF the weekly theme. For example, if the theme is the color pink, your Sub-theme might be to use lyrics from the song "Pink" by Aerosmith while STILL using the color pink in your icon. Sub-themes can be anything: Lyrics, structural requirements, etc. The best part about a sub-theme? YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY GRAPHIC THAT MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS. ^_^
(7) When posting, be sure to include the URL from each image in addition to whether or not you would like a banner!! Also, to point out the obvious, icons must be submitted via "img src=" so that we can all see the pretty picture IN ADDITION to the link! :-)
