Have fun and good luck!

i dont inderstand how to make a 100 by 100 icon less the 20k, i use ps cs2 if anyone could help as i would love to enter

If you check out the threads list in this forum you will find the Sewing Lessons: Tutorials, which might help you. The Sewing Lessons is pinned so it is one of the first threads listed. Good Luck.

PS...I am so entering this competition.

By the way, love the Jack Sparrow challenge, Rhea and Tailz!

ATTENTION!

If you have entered the competition, but you have sent your entry to RHEA, can you please re-enter by sending them to me. Rhea's internet's gone crazy and she hasn't been on the past few days, so I don't know if you guys have been sending the icons to her. I only have one set right now, so that's what I'm assuming.

Secondly; the deadline for icons is Monday by 12 AM EST. Of course, you can always manage to squeeze them in after that time, I'm slow at posting up. XD

Good luck! <3

That's what I did!

Congrats to everyone who won last time and for the new competition

I'm gonna go forward my entry now ...

Save the icons as .GIF, GIF format takes alot of the size off, or as JPEG =)


A few hours before deadline, seeeeeeend your icons in if you haven't yet

Time's up! No more entries, it's time to vote! Here are your choices for Iconic Challenge #2:

1. 2. 3.
4. 5. Withdrawn 6.
7. 8. 9.
10.

(yes, I know. That was more than a few seconds...poll is up!) Good luck to everyone and have fun voting!

[x] Remember, no voting for yourself.

Teany reminder, you can vote for more than one icon! So if you wanna vote for more than one, suuuuure do so.

When is the voting over?

-just realized I never put the time limit- Hahah, my bad. XD

The voting shall end some time later tonight. At 11:59 pm EST tonight. =)
