Now with even more multi-fandom options than before!

Oh, that banner... <3

[luminousdaze]

I'm glad it's mod approved! :)

[fueschgast]

How would PIO work? Can you claim to be next (so that you don't make an icon only to find someone has already posted a new one)?

[luminousdaze]

If you would like me to make the rules that way I could, it would be like nextpicture. But usually I do it with no limit on how many times a picture can be used, like this challenge: http://shire-icontest.livejournal.com/83161.html

[fueschgast]

Oh, it would be with provided caps! I prefer to choose my own.

[luminousdaze]

You do get to choose caps, but you leave them for other people to use. You pass a picture on for the next person once you use a picture. :)

I'm not a maker, but I'd like to see a wallpaper contest. :)

[luminousdaze]

I would host it but I don't think anyone will enter a wallpaper contest. :/

[acciochocolate.livejournal.com]

Okay, it was just an idea. I'm not a graphics maker, after all.

[luminousdaze]

One day you could try if you wanted to, it's fun & there is some good free software out there for image editing! :)

[acciochocolate.livejournal.com]

It bears thinking abt. My talents have always been more in the areas of writing, music, singing, and dance. :)

[luminousdaze]

I love music & singing! Whether or not I have true talent is another story! Too bad we can't have a karaoke challenge here. 😆

[candream.livejournal.com]

I love wallpapers but I'm really bad with creating some. :o(

[luminousdaze]

It is not easy! Well, maybe for some people but not me.

[fueschgast]

Hm, there are styles I can't use on icons, because they're so small - so wallpapers wouldn't be a bad idea. I'd need a resolution specification from you though, because there are so many formats that it's driving me nuts.

[luminousdaze]

I know, right? What really annoys me sometimes, is when all the details are lost when you shrink the image down to 100px. It's a lot of fun to make bigger graphics, though wallpapers are difficult to design, but now that I've learned how to use guides in the GIMP I can make picspam style wallpapers more quickly.

I know I asked in the poll, but I don't know about hosting a bigger graphics challenge here now because I've started thinking of opening a new DreamWidth comm (with contest elements) for all different graphics (not just for Who but multi-fandom ).

I know everyone who's clicked the different graphics button is already over there. I need to think more about if I want to bother & of how to run it and so on. Maybe I can set it in April.

I did dream up/dig up a few more icon challenge themes for dwstills after I set up this poll so I won't have to close this comm up just yet. :)

[fueschgast]

That's one of the reason why I start my icon already 100x100, that way I always know right away what I'll end up with.

Do you still plan on opening that comm or is it that comm you pimped recently?

[luminousdaze]

Sorry, I didn't see your reply until now. No, I didn't open a comm after all. Maybe one day! I still have a few challenges in mind for dwstills maybe it can make it to 90 or 100 challenges? If we can make it to 80 that is. :)

Lands_of_Magic on DW & tv_universe are the ones I promoted. And [Bad username or site: landofart title= @ livejournal.com] is back, too, but I forgot to promo it. But it's similar to what I was thinking of opening, but it's a land comm with teams & points. It's for icons & all kinds of graphics, if you would like to join it, I'm on team_ren. :-)

[candream.livejournal.com]

Other type of graphic challenge (eg picspams, banners, mixtapes). Please comment to explain.

Lovebars? <3

Lovebars = a small graphic with 4 or 5 icons and a small text (something like "something is love"); an example with the War Doctor (https://fandream.livejournal.com/69549.html) <3

[luminousdaze]

Oh yeah, I like love bars & color bars, too! :) I can already imagine the ones I would make for Dr. XII!

Like I said above, I know I asked in the poll, but I don't know about hosting a bigger graphics challenge here now because participation is so low here.
I've started thinking of opening a new DreamWidth comm (with contest elements) for all different graphics (not just for Who but multi-fandom ). Maybe in April! And if I don't, we still have lands of magic & tv_universe for making different graphics.

[candream.livejournal.com]

Please share the link if you'll open a DreamWidth comm.

[luminousdaze]

I will! :) But it's not happening very soon.
