Note: 2 contestants were not included in the poll for the following reasons: Hemske has not uploaded the required *.blp files. However, his original entry can be found here. This is indeed unfortunate, but he has marked a 10-day inactivity, which disallows me to prolong the poll's creation. KaplanHorus has not created the fourth icon required and then voluntarily withdrew from the contest.

Inviting your friends to vote for you, bribing random members with rep and otherwise cheating with the VB poll system will get you disqualified, banned from future contests and neg-repped, depending on the severity of your case. This includes, but is not limited to, sending PMs out to various users, getting other people to send those PMs, advertising this contest on other sites with the intention to gain more votes (whether it is explicitly stated or not), and so on. If you are suspected of cheating, the staff will notify you and interrogate you. Additionally, voting for your self is not encouraged, because the vote will not be counted anyway. Entries that are valid on the poll doesn't equal immunity; either cheating the poll or being evaluated by the judge that your entry is violating the rules of the contest or the site's in general, automatically puts your entry at risk.

 

[kola]

Im going to be in the top 3

 

[I3lackDeath]

Three entries. Quite a lot, wouldn't have expected so many.

Anywho, that white text is quite an eye killer.

Kudos to the contestants. I hope we see more from you in the future.

 

[Almia]

Literally XD

My vote is going to you

 

[Vinz]

My vote is going to you

Indeed, the other people draw very messy.

Markos_DAB and kola both made some nice icons, and their sets of icons do indeed fit a theme, however I believe Markos_DAB's entry is a lot more fitting specifically to his hero.

kola's Lightning Vortex icon and Thunderous Apocalypse icons are definitely the sexiest entries.

As for PeeKay, he probably could have been either best, or near tied with the best, if he hadn't lost his edge with his new method that makes all of his icons look grainy, I'm kind of sad about that.

Still, all three of the contestants are great icon makers.

The Kola's entry seems more clean and colorful than others (I think). But his entry is the most generic. And that can cost him many points

How original and unique is the icon? This can be estimated with the conceptual approach, the colors' combination, the technique, etc.

Was the concept tied to the represented ability or was it too generic?

Also, maybe some points in Technique.

Originality doesnt mean it needs to show the hero in your icons :/ and we might want to let the judges compare our icons?

 

[Marcos DAB]

Also Originality does not mean an icon to serve inumerous abilities, certainly.

 

[The Panda]

Good luck you 3.

Sadly, but i really see that in that contest my skill give a fault, other skillsets are really better. So, my compliments to kola and Marcos, this round is after you both

Waiting for next contest.

Calm down, the public poll is only 25% of the final score. =O

Their icons are very good, they are just a bit pixelated comparing them with your previous works.

But still pretty good and represent the skills well.

 

[Bannar]

When have you learnt to do such impressive OP Pharaoh?
Do you make graphics yourself btw? lovely =p

Nice icon sets guys, whoever wins there is no 4th place so stay positive!
Let the best one wins!

 

[The Panda]

Kola in the lead, looks close.

 

[8512590215848]

results? 1 month pass.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I shall assemble the judges.

 

[8512590215848]

will this end some day?

 

[I3lackDeath]

Everybody wins. The reviews are more a formality than essential to this contest, I believe.
In the meantime, fill us in with more concept art of yours, PeeKay.
It's always nice to see your works.

 

[Pharaoh_]

CRAZYRUSSIAN and Sin'dorei300 are the judges. I have already received Sin'dorei300's reviews and I am waiting for CRAZYRUSSIAN'S.

The results will be posted soon

 

[kola]

The prophecy tells us that on the third spring after the revival of the crazy russian, the results will be revealed by the Pharaoh.

 

[Pharaoh_]

CRAZYRUSSIAN had a problem with icons, that were not visible to him. Therefore, his review has been delayed. I have sent him the icons and from what I know, he is on it.

 

[Ralle]

Pharaoh_ informed me that he will be posting the results today. He has been caught up in preparations for an important exam and had to stay away for a few days.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Hello everyone, as Ralle mentioned, I was gone, because I had to take a test for an English certificate.

CRAZYRUSSIAN has not kept me up-to-date, no hard feelings, I will just use Sin'dorei300's reviews only, given that he has done a remarkably good job.

Expect the results in a few hours!

If you know, this game from this position has no win for me, so, the only way to make it drag - put in the middle, and no one win, otherwise you are the winned if i put on the side.
Well, if you play randomly, i have chances to win from the middle, but something tells me that i won't.

So,
_|_|O
_|X|_
_|_|_

Random start from me, really. As with Chess, I don't plan first moves here, either. x)
