Challenge #43: Tuxedo Mask
Because you were all so fabulous this past week, I decided to reward you by posting up this week's challenge tonight! This way, you have the WHOLE weekend to work. [Hopefully this means that we'll have a lot of icons again next week, too!!]
Also--don't forget to vote in this week's poll! You have until SUNDAY at 8 p.m. EST!!!
WEEK 43: Tuxedo Mask
BLANK:
(blank can also be found here.)
IMAGE: Click here.) to see a drool-worthy picture of our favorite masked crusader!!!!
Sub-Theme: This week's sub-theme is to incorporate AT LEAST THREE CONSECUTIVE WORDS from the song "It's Not Easy [To Be Me]" by Five for Fighting.
(I kinda thought that it was fitting....plus, I've always wanted to use this song in order to create an in-depth fanfic that looks at our Tuxie's psyche...though I doubt I ever will..................)
Lyrics can also be found here.
You MUST use a picture of Tuxedo Mask for this sub-theme! There can be NO OTHER character or form of Chiba Mamoru in this icon or it will be disqualified!
[EDIT]The challenge has been extended until Saturday, March 25th at 6:30 p.m. I have EXTENDED the poll b/c I agreed to work the Friday night shift earlier today b/c someone quit...and I have to be up at 7 a.m. the next morning. 6:30 is the EARLIEST I'll be back--unless I go straight to campus and the school play, which means that I won't post until Sunday after 4:30.......hmmm..
Remember, though--if the polls aren't up, you can continue to submit--just don't get upset if I am in the process of making a poll and post it up before your icon is submitted or if I didn't see it at the last minute! Fair enough, right? ^_^
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 "Tuxedo Kamen/Mask."]
(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! :-)
Questions or comments? Please post them below and further clarification will be given!
Another Reminder--- Vote in this week's poll NOW if you haven't done so already!!!!
Also--don't forget to vote in this week's poll! You have until SUNDAY at 8 p.m. EST!!!
