sounds like a cheap way to get people to make a bunch of icons for you.. :nuts:

I were just thinking that, especially because each person has to make 5 icons and it simply has to be for spells

 

[monoVertex]

The idea of the contest is not that. And, of course, if someone wants to use the icons, must ask the author and give credit. Personally, I have no project in which I could include the icons.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Actually this is just for fun. I bet he could go to wcsear.ch and get loads of icons. But we want to test your skills. Cmon, show what can you do!

 

[monoVertex]

Exactly. Ty for pointing this out, Andrewgosu.

 

[Battlemapsta]

Can i be judge? I have a good eye for icons

 

[monoVertex]

I'm sorry, I chosed the judges before I started the contest, so you will be an contestant, if you want. I'll add you to the list, and, I you change your mind, tell me.

BTW, nice icons, but remember that the contest icons must be 100% original, not remakes

Battlemapsta, wanna be a contestant?

 

[Jindo]

I'm confused, 5 icons? What's the 5th?

If it's Innate, what's is innate? :O.

[Battlemapsta]

Dude i suck at icons . That's why I use other peoples' icons. Too bad I was late so count me off.

 

[monoVertex]

@Battlemapsta, eh...that's it... Maybe next time

Jindo, shall I add you?

Here is one I made.

It's nice, but...

From now, could you, people, not post examples of your work? Sign up for the contest and make the pack.

Orc_tamer, would you like to enter the contest?

 

[monoVertex]

No one else interested in a contest?

 

[Battlemapsta]

Wow no replies as contestants. Maybe it's too hard or something like that for them. Maybe you should change some of the rules if no one posts as contestants for liek 4 hours?

If someone is going to take the time to make a GOOD icon (which does take more than 10 minutes).. then they will probably want to use all their hard work in their own creation.. the prizes aren't really worth it imho.. maybe you should give us cash.. yes.. cold hard cash.. :shades:

 

[monoVertex]

Hmmm, does anyone got moneys from posting an icon on Wc3sear.ch? Does anyone got moneys from making a hero, an spell or something like that for contests like this? Let's take the Hero Contest as an example. The prize is not really big (no offense meant, emjl3), but, still the people posted great Heroes.

And, btw, I could make a good icon-pack in about 4 h. And is not really hard work.

 

[stavious]

I think this constant isn't as bad as people are saying.
Though I myself cannot make icons, it is an interesting idea. The prize also is relevant, cause putting your icon/model on any real map made by someone else is pretty special. Even if its not your work (the map) you are still given credit and your icon is accepted by the public, since its made it as the best one in the lot. When other people use, and like, what you do, only then do you know you have done it well.

 

[monoVertex]

Well, my main reason for starting this contest was the following: I always wanted to be part in an icon contest, but nobody was hosting one, so I decided to host one

Anyway, stavious, thanks for supporting the contest.

Not many people have image editors such as photoshop (£200 for an image editor? no thx), which is why I think this contest isnt very popular. The hero contest on the other hand, requires no program at all (except a browser ofc.) and so is much more popular.
