Results
At the Top:
venti-anemoi - Each icon is very expressive and can stand by itself - as a set, it's really moving.


At the Bottom:
1. mystline - Your icons were too simple and only had cropping and fading.

2. moorepocket - In your second & third icons, too many effects were put in.


Sorry but you're out...
mystline. It seemed like you didn't do much editing to your icons. The images you used were good but we just expected more editing to be done to them. Thank you for participating though!


Round 3 Theme
For next week, the remaining contestants are to make an icon that has your favorite quote in it. There can be no images to represent your quote, only words and color. Once you are ready to submit your icon, please PM it to one of the judges. Do not post it in this topic, or you will be disqualified. Please keep in mind that once you send in your icon, you cannot send in another one replacing that so please be certain that's your submission when turning it in. All submissions are to be in by 11:59pm on Monday, September 15, 2008.

Thank you so much! I really wasn't expecting this, especially since I was a day late and I wasn't even entirely sure I hadn't been disqualified. *headdesk* I'M SO SORRY!!!! I promise not to get the dates/times/"midnight" mixed up next time.

All the submissions look amazing. I actually really liked the simplicity of mystline's set, although I think that because everyone else did a lot of different kinds of effects, they might've come across as too plain.

I also really like voguexdirge's (love how they all match and make a set, but can stand very well on their own) and Amanda's (the first one made me laugh, even though I've never heard of the movie). I don't agree with what was said about Ryan's second one (I didn't see how it had too many effects), but I do agree that the third one may be a bit overdone.

@Amanda: The original screencap for the last one was rather bright and cheery with all this sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows making a pretty picture, and it didn't suit the mood I wanted ("faithless"), so I made it darker. I probably overdid it, though. :x There's a lot of black in there.

I was originally going to do "The Dark Knight," but I was running low on time and couldn't/didn't know where to find good screencaps of it. And because I thought everyone else would be doing it too.
