Whenever we have a contest, it will be here! =D Good luck! Users may also hold their own 'Evelon-related' contests here as well in the sub forum, but remember that you can only give away things that you rightfully own!

.:The Month of Avatars:.

Postby Tick-Tock » 06/27/2009 3:40 PM

~ø~

Some of you have found Evelon's Avatar Gallery, most of you haven't. (Or else you don't like what's in it. Either way, on the page where you change your avatar, go down and click "Display Gallery" ;) ). You'll notice there's some stuff there, but not much. I aim to fix that. :D

This isn't a "contest", per se, but.. I know some of you guys like to mess around in Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever else you use. So, you can see where this is going. Evelon needs avatars!

Guidelines

1) You make avatars. Or just one if you're lazy, doesn't matter. Post it/them here, and if it meets the criteria and passes aesthetic judgment, it'll get added to the gallery. You'll get 20 KS for each one that gets added. I hope that's a fair reward, I'm picky so you're gonna make more than you'll get paid for. This offer is open up to and including August 1st (yes, that's a little more than a month, so sue me).

2) Images must be 110 x 140 in resolution. That is 110 pixels wide and 140 pixels tall. No discussion, no arguments. I will not resize them for you, if it isn't this size it will be ignored.

3) No animation. That's asking too much for a mere 20 KS. (And I think it gets a bit annoying. :P)

4) Avatars need not be Evelon-related. However, if you use images from the internet you must make sure that the image's creator allows their use. Please post a link to the source of your image so I can double-check that license rules are upheld. :) If the creator requires credit, you might consider a solution like this:
Image
See that itty bitty text? That's the image owner's name. Nice and discreet, but it's still there. Brushes/patterns are a bit harder to credit, but if you're looking for copyright-free/loose-copyright brushes, try Brusheezy. Not all, but many, of the brushes there are free to use for whatever. Clicking on the owner/uploader's name will take you to their website so you can double-check their rules. You don't have to post the source of brushes, I don't feel like checking them all and I'll trust you guys. Please don't be thieves, though. :)

5) Avoid using images of people's custom pets. Yes, your paragon is pretty. No, you're probably the only person who'd ever want to use it as an avatar. ;)

6) I think I covered everything, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Well, a few people know that I like to fiddle around in Paint... mainly because that's the only thing I really can use. ^^;; Of course, these two are Evelon-related, but I'm going to try to make more with real pictures. :)

ImageImage

There will be more! I can promise you that. :D
About you and me: it's plain to see,
We only ever want to stay inside and watch TV,
Because that's just as good a memory,
You're just good company,
And I am finally accepting that.

Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
And nobody knows it, we took it away,
And it will be forever mine,
And it will be forever yours
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,
We'll never forget how it feels to be young,
Cos it will be forever mine,
And it will be forever yours.

I did not make my avatar.

I love this contest <3 Making avatars is always fun, but I hardly get the chance to do it. Sorry if I go overboard on making them.

There will be more to come, including two with the other Wockees. I also have copies of each without frames, in case some people don't like them

EDIT: Not sure whether I should post again, but I made some more:

P: I got working on a few too~ A few more will be popping up shortly.
I might have gone a bit... overboard maybe? These are just fun to make ^o^

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

I finally got off my behind and made some crappy avatars?
And a lot of the ones I'm going to put up here aren't evelon related, so here I go?
Evelon Related:

Non-Evelon Related:
ImageImageImage


I put the maker of the brushes names in small text in the avatar.
The pictures aren't copyrighted because I took them?
Note to self: Add more Evelon related avatars?

The brushes I used are all in Photoshop by default.

Here's a couple of random ones I made. Erm, enjoy? XD

ImageImageImage

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

Okay, so I've got some that are really bad. I did them in paint. I don't have photoshop, otherwise I would've used loads of brushes. Here's the suckishness:

Seriaously, if anyone thinks that they can do better on any one of these, feel free to use my ideas. I don't mind, maybe then we'll have some more cool avatar options in the gallery. (Even if these don't get used, I might use them in a rotating avatar.)

@Potterchic: Try downloading The GIMP. Right here! It's a totally free for all time program (there's not even a "pro" version you have to pay for if you want the good stuff; it's all in the basic package) that is similar to Photoshop in many ways.

I had fun with these. I'll make some more later.
she said one day to leave her, sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
to drag her to the ocean, to another sea's shore.
this thing hurts like hell,
but what did you expect?

and all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
and all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
but oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me,
five hundred behind,
a thousand years in perfect symmetry...

If I were to want to submit more avvies, should I put them in a new post, or edit my old one? Just curious. :D

Also: LAWL at the "Cute"/"Evil" ones being added. Heehee!
