This weeks theme is "Halloween Costumes".

Our characters appeared in many different costumes through this manga/anime. Now it's time to remember them. Either use costumes from the manga/anime or create your own. You can put our characters in outfits from other animes if you want. Anything you can think up.

I just realised I lost a week of my life. I mean I forgot last week and remembered tonight. I guess I thought I did this last week. Like dejavu (sp?)except I didn't, oops.

Well we only had 2 icons. So we are just gonna vote for one and decide one winner for the theme. So it's gonna be neck and neck for this one.

Next weeks theme is "Halloween Costumes". Feel free to use any costumes already worn by the characters or edit your own.

Been afk unexpectedly

Sat, 06 Oct 2007 02:35:25 GMT

I was AFK this week kinda last moment. Sorry bout that. Results for the theme "Free Choice" will be posted shortly.

"Cat's Eye Cafe" will be going on for an extra week. Tomorrow (Saturday 10/06) I will be posting links to a whole bunch of possible images you can use for this theme. I hope this will entice you to try it.

I have recently changed my work schedule to give me nights off, my main reason for being so anti-lj recently. So I will be able to post on time now.

ccs_awards is having it's 100th theme this week. They'd like to see somemore participation. So if you are a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura, check it out.

The icons this week are pretty cool. Ok and i've now ended this theme. A new theme will be up. Also I'll give you advanced warning to next weeks theme. It'll be a picture theme. The following week will be a lyrical theme. I haven't picked the song out yet so I better get listening to some music.

I'm gonna try something different. Plase vote for 1 icon. Only 1 yup.

This weeks theme is "Cat's Eye Cafe".

This is a pretty open theme and you can interpret it almost any way you want. What do you think of when you hear the name? Was it Sakura in a waitress outfit? Or the drunken scene? Whatever reminds you of the theme, then that is your theme.

Free Choice update

Sat, 22 Sep 2007 02:11:33 GMT

I need to do some research for themes. Every week i'm coming up thin for ideas. Thinking of doing another Lyrical one. Haha I luv lyrical themes but when you run a lyrical community it's actually hard.

Well i'm gonna let this theme slide another week. I didn't post it until Monday this week at that was rather late. I was going to post a reminder and then it was Friday (today). Gosh where do the days go, seriously :(

If you have an idea for a theme, I need it, please give me some ideas here. Even if you saw it on another community. Believe me we all steal each others.

So heres the link to "Free Choice" - LINK

Vote for "Sepia" icons

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 02:34:39 GMT

The storms yesterday actually ended like 20 minutes after I turned off my computer yesterday, but oh well. Thank you to those who made icons for this weeks theme. I know lots of stuff is going on this time of year with school getting back in session and all. Around now is usually the slowest iconmaking time of the year. I notice this in just about every community. But I really need to get back in the habit and post reminders on wednesday. I will try to do that from now on. The new theme will be posted tomorrow cause I want to come up with something good ^^

Please vote for 2 icons. Voting will go on til 7:00pm EDT Monday.

Sorry but i'll have to delay this until tomorrow because we are just about to have a really bad storm here and the last time I had my computer on during a really bad thunderstorm my pc got hit by lightning.

Anyway we ony have 3 icons for "Sepia" so I'm allowing all iconists to submit up to 2 icons for this theme. The link is here - http://community.livejournal.com/tsubasa_awards/150893.html

The theme will be due by 10:00pm EDT tomorrow (Saturday) 24 hours from now.

Silhouette Banners

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:43:12 GMT

Hi everyone, here are the banners for Week 115: Silhouette!

For kokoro_chan93, dragon_gypsy, dragons_desire, and painted_wing
~~*I assume the username is "painted_wings", not "painted_wing" (the name typed from the results entry), since LJ doesn't recognize that as a username at all ^^'*~~ Thanks for the info dragon_gypsy =)

or animated:

Sorry that they're horrible. x_X If there's anything you'd like me to fix please let me know. Also, dragon_gypsy, my psd file for your banner ended up corrupted somehow, so if you wanted changes, I can start over, but the banner would look a bit different. ^^''

Please let me know once you've gotten your banner. Thanks, and congrats again!

Week 113 Banners

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 20:04:35 GMT

Hey all! I am so sorry that I didn't get these done sooner. I won't waste time making excuses, I'm just going to get right to the banners for week 113: DETERMINATION

Sorry if they suck, I made them in kind of a rush...

If there are any mistakes, let me know and I'll get them fixed right up!

Submissions for "Sepia" icons

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 02:33:37 GMT

This weeks theme is "Sepia".

Sepia is mostly like a dull brown color that is often seen in old photographs or those meant to give an old look. So for this theme your icon can only be shades of Sepia. This includes blacks, whites, and browns, but no other colors. Good luck!

New theme up shortly

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 02:28:06 GMT

Oh this week went by so fast I even forogt all about this. I should probably stop putting off themes as much as I can so I don't forget.

Well anyway either because of myself or everyone else after two weeks our current theme still only had one icon. So I will go back to that theme in the future at some point and move along. The current icon in that theme will be entered in when we go back to it.

I've been a good girl so far but it seems keeping up with only the North American releases of Tsubasa has made me not always aware of characters and possible themes we could do; so I finally stared to read the scanlations. Hopefully this will allow me to serve this community better some how and yet not allow major spoilers to get through until the point when they become available to most of the current readers.

Anyway... new theme up in a matter of minutes.

Iconmaking can take a Labor Day Holiday

Sat, 01 Sep 2007 02:33:59 GMT

Being that this is a holiday weekend for some of you, many going back to school soon, some at a convention that I know is going on, and last because I can't come up with a theme tonight, we'll just give "Truth" another week.

Oh did I foget to mention that there was 1 icon? So "Truth" will be due September 7th at 10:00pm EST.

Winners for "Silhouette" icons

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 02:55:03 GMT

As I was typing this I said to myself, "do I really have to pick a mod's choice this week?" because for all different reasons I really liked all of the icons this week. And i'm not kidding, all of them. But alas not everyone can win.

First Place:

kokoro_chan93

Second Place:

dragon_gypsy

Third Place:

dragons_desire

Mod's Choice:

painted_wing
This icon was the only one out of the bunch that didn't do a black silhouette, and I think that was rather bold and different. Also the pastels in this icon really appealed to me.

This weeks banner maker is amayasuki.

This weeks theme is "Truth" and it's a word theme for which we currently have 0 icons. The LINK is HERE.

This weeks theme is "Truth".

This is a word theme so you need to have either the word truth or a similar meaning word on your icon. You can have more but you must at least have that.

Silhouette due next week

Sat, 18 Aug 2007 02:24:01 GMT

Hey everyone. I'm gonna make this weeks theme go on for another week. Reason being a lot is going on this week. Many people are going back to school soon or like where I live on Monday so it's pretty busy for a lot of people.

We currently have 3 icons for this weeks theme "Silhouette" and I think it's kinda cool and we could have more. Below I'm posting both the link to the submission post and a tutorial I found a while back that helped me make my first silhouette icon.

Silhouette Tutorial - http://community.livejournal.com/herbskillz/6268.html

Silhouette Submission - http://community.livejournal.com/tsubasa_awards/148139.html

So the final time/date will be August 24th @ 10PM EST.
