ANIMANGA BATTLE - SIGN UPS

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

SO. I thought it was high time an animanga battle happened again, so I figured I would stop being MAD LAZY and host one myself. But I also thought maaaan, I already host a thing with provided caps, so I don't wanna do ANOTHER thing like that at the same time, y'know? So I thought we could do something a little different.

TO SIGN UP:

Rather than caps, we're gonna be doing themes (technical or inspirational), fonts, textures, colour palettes... basically anything except caps. So, I want you to drop any two of these things in a comment here to sign up. Then, once everybody's signed up, I'll jumble them all together with a randomiser so that there's 2-3 different things you have to use in each icon depending on how many people sign up. That way there won't be TOO MANY icons to make.

I'll close sign ups in a week today, so Friday 22nd August. After that there'll be 3-4 weeks to make the icons.

PARTICIPANTS

1. katy_111 (Blending + texture by lookslikerain)
2. superjesster (Contact e.g. verbal, skin, eye, etc. + texture by cleamour)
3. lu_hesperia (Hair + Text Heavy)

How far into September do you think this will go? I have a lot of stuff coming up late August, so I'd hate to sign up and be unable to submit anything... but I also really want to participate XD

Oooh, sign me up!

1. This texture (http://i.imgur.com/mjKTw1z.png) by pinxess
2. Can I give a grouping of icons to use as inspiration as theme? If so: These 7 icons (http://imgur.com/a/JfXLE)
Alternatively: partial black and white theme

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

yessss so glad you're here! Also option 2 is totally fine, surprised I didn't even think of that as an option!

I don't suppose you could just drop me the names of the makers of those icons (i know some of them, but just to be sure) for when I'm putting together the posts?

Can I sign up?

[absolutelybatty.livejournal.com]

crap. I meant to sign up for this awhile ago. Um, me? If sign ups are still open.

themes: supernatural, dark

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

great to see you participating!

one thing though - we already have dark as a theme. Could you drop me an alternative when you have time? No pressure though, if it gets to the time when I'm making the post (won't be for a few hours time) and you've not answered I'll just leave a little "tbc" there and update when you've responded.
