About 2 weeks i think. Or one, not sure.

A contests starting and ending date are part of the contest templates, so you should always be able to find them on the first page of the contest. Just keep in mind some countries place the day before the month, some place the month before the day, with that in mind you should be able to figure out when this contest ends.

I think it is my final icons... i dont think i can win something with this lol.. but im the lil noobish of the Contest, and other icons are awesome

 

[VergilThazaar]

Description, The sword that wear every paladin

Uhm... a sword that wears a paladin? or not correction, a sword that wears every paladin on the world?

What you mean is "The sword that is carried by every paladin"
I carry a sword, I don't wear it.
I'm not attacking you, just correcting you.

 

[kola]

oops.. lol i made it rly fast so.. i wanted to say the sword that every paladin wear.. but to be sure that i make no errors i corrected it with ur sentence

 

[Dentothor]

See Final Entry.

 

[The Panda]

Looks nice, but i don't like the shape of the part coming off the chain part. Just seems weird.

 

[Palaslayer]

in64x64 the texture of the object itself looks really plain...

 

[kola]

I think it rly needs a background.. cuz the icon is rly empty

 

[Dentothor]

See Final Entry.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I have to make icon for the Race building competition.. tought it could perfeclty work with this contest too, would that work? ;D

 

[The Panda]

What exactly are you talking about Goblin? Lol.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Well, I have to create the upgrades for my Tuskarr race.. wich is basicly, a Unit armor upgrade (wich could be easily an item), A unit weapond upgrade. (Wich could be easily an item) for example.. so.. that's why i'm asking

cause if they turned out better than my Druid icons (wich could happen) I would rather choose this theme

 

[The Panda]

Sounds good, Good luck on em.

 

[Stanakin]

It's finally here, the item we've all been waiting for ever since 1987, the Tuskarr Ice Sculpture!

I'll post full resolution pics/wips in the final entry.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

lawl ?

 

[Deolrin]

Stanakin, was the reference Cavman's tuskarr sculpture? ^^

Looks great.

 

[Stanakin]

Never seen or heard of it... My reference was the normal Blizzard Tuskarr model. Could you post a link of it?

 

[The Panda]

Looks nice, Don't see how that matches your other icon though.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Anyway, my theme is: 'No matter how hard you try, you'll never find a use for this."
Starting with the Leprechaun on a Stick.

A much more awesome theme than yours, if you ask.

 

[AbstractCreativity]

Meh, I have to drop out :'(
Before I even got to make a single icon for it...

With all the stuff I'm getting loaded with at school right now, I'll hardly have time to make any icons...

Anyways, have fun with the contest. And good luck to everyone

Sure, there you go.

The Kanabō was a Giant spiked club made of Wood, Steel or Metal. Because of its sheer weight, only a few soldiers carried it. It was more of a mythical weapon, often used in tales by the great Japanese demons "oni" since the oni were extremely strong and could carry these mammoth weapons and so were feared by many superstitious people. Today there is a saying in Japanese that says, "Like giving a kanabō to an oni" — which means to give an extra advantage to someone already holding all the cards.

Kusarigama are interesting weapons which evolved from Kama; the farming sickle, to incorporate a length of chain with a weight at the end.

Kusarigama are a notoriously difficult weapon to master, but someone skilled in Kusarigamajutsu can use the weapon in a variety of ways, such as…

* Swinging the weight on the chain to distract or strike an enemy before moving in with the blade.
* Disarming an enemy at range by entangling their weapon.
* Entangling the enemy themselves.
* Striking a deadly or injuring blow to the enemy with the weight.
* Holding the weight and swinging to strike the enemy with the bladed end.

Kusarigama certainly added a whole new dimension to the Kama, particularly greater range.

Of course, Kusarigama from different regions and periods vary, but the most prominent difference is some Kusarigama have the chain attached to the upper-end of the weapon (usually on a loop on the near side of the blade, or to a hold made in the near of the blade) or to the butt of the handle. Differences also occur in the length of the blade, the size and shape of the weight as well as chain length.

Tessen were designed to look like harmless and average folding fans or solid clubs shaped to look like a closed fan. They are on the contrary folding fans with outer spokes made of ion. Samurai could carry these to places where swords or other overt weapons were not allowed. Tessens was also used to fend off arrows and darts, as a throwing weapon, and in swimming.

Hachiwari or “helmet breaker” was a type of blunt, knife-shaped weapon that looks like a jutte. The blade of a hachiwara was a curved triangular rod with a hook on its backside, making it easy to parry an opponent’s sword or hook into an opponent’s helmet.

[VergilThazaar]

The first 2 talismans look great, the 3rd one looks kinda weird (In the jpg it's much better, but that doesn't matter since you made an icon).

I prefer the contruction thingy 'cause it looks more themed and usefull.

 

[The Panda]

3rd talisman looks weird to me.

 

[ike_ike]

Fan is cool.

Hmppf, mayby you should work on your english from now on J/K

 

[Revolve]

Cool Stanakin
But what's up with is nose? Looks huge :d

 

[Revolve]

AoP, no offense, but didn't you start making some of those icons before the contest begun?
I don't know if it is allowed, but the bow for example, didn't you start making it, ad submitted it to the Hive before the contest begun? And the helmet is just a recolor of your old helm, which I am pretty ure you started making before the contest.

 

[Dentothor]

i believe so as well...
The bow was submitted at the 4th of October
The Crown on the 18th of October
The Shoulder on the 18th of October
and the Sword on the 18th of October

so the bow is not allowed

 

[The Panda]

Pretty sure i didn't.

I had entered the bow for my first entry when the trail had already begun. Which was fire then i made it into ice too match my set.

And keeping track of my icons? Hmm. Well ill just make another icon so you all can keep your comments too yourself.

umm im not keeping track. it just says it on the resource urls when you submitted it.

 

[Revolve]

And I'm still pretty sure you started working on the Greekhelm before, and recoloring it still means you started working on it before.

 

[The Panda]

Um no.

 

[Devine]

Draaaaamaaaaaaa

 

[Dentothor]

agreeed

 

[The Panda]

Revolve started this all, Don't blame it on me.

 

[Revolve]

Yeah, no problems now, end of discussion. Sorry for starting it, just didn't want any drama when the voting begun
And AoP, don't say "Revolve started this all". You started it by submitting an icon that violated the contest rules
But AoP, I must say I really really like all the icons you made. You are very talented, and I see improvement by every icon you make Keep it up

 

[Dentothor]

Less apologies and accusations. Moar icons.

 

[The Panda]

Exactly. im making the 4th icon right now so please stop. Thanks.

 

[Palaslayer]

stanakin what is your theme?

 

[Dentothor]

its a "things you will never need" theme

r sumthin like that

 

[Paladon]

Quite creative
