OIcontest #8: Theme
The new challenge, for OIcontest #8, is White Borders.

Each entry must have a white border. The border does not have to be 100% white, but part of it must be white. It may be partially-transparent white, but white is a must. White. Whitewhitewhite.

As such:

I really recommend meleada's mask creation tutorials. [1] [2] [3] [4] Check them out: they might come in handy. Masks are an excellent way to make this style work.

Submit your entries to this post (comments are screened), giving me both the image (the < img src = "" > tag) and the URL (http://www.____.__/_____.___). You may enter up to 2 icons.

Cartoon images, comics, fine art, photographs, anime screencaps, movie stills: it's all fair game. Make your icons as fandom-y or non fandom-y as you like, make them look antique or futuristic, avant-garde or simple or just plain pretty. Just make sure the border is at least partially white, and have fun.

All entries will be posted in a big table, with another color beneath them, so the white stands out a bit better.

This is another of the jcontest-style viewers-pick-the-winners contests. Everyone will vote on the winners via poll, with such categories as Best Show of Emotion, Most Creative, and Best Use of Text. There will be two color categories, one for subtle coloring and one for bright, blow-you-away coloring.


Also, considering that the winners will be determined by popular vote and not by the designers alone, all entries should be new, and not posted anywhere until voting has ended. Also, considering the importance of icon anonymity on the voting post, userpics are not an acceptable place to host your entries. There are lots of free hosts: try Photobucket, for example. Any icons that are found posted elsewhere before voting ends will be disqualified.

Submit all entries in comments to this post (please, don't submit as a comment to another comment) by 12 PM PST Friday, May 19. Thanks!
