Contest Week 48: The Great User Icon Contest *Two week contest

Your goal these next 2 weeks is to design a new 'user icon' for yourself. You must change your current user icon to your new, contest entry icon through the duration of the contest. Once the contest is over, you may change your user icon back to whatever you wish. Good luck and do not copy other artists work.

Additional Judging Criteria:

You want to design an icon that looks good at the regular gallery view, as seen here: Sweetcell's User Icon: regular view (100% zoom)

Additionally, you want your icon to look good at the smaller Profile Page size, as seen here: Sweetcell's User Icon: profile page view (upper right corner).

This contest is a challenge, to be sure. :)

Contest Week 48 will be open for entries from Sunday March 11th, to, Saturday March 24th, 11:59 AM PST.

Scheduled downtime:

As you are probably already aware, on Monday, March 26th through Wednesday the 28th (depending on how long the maintenance takes), 2Draw will be down. We won't have another contest till Sunday, April 1st. Our next contest will be an interesting one, I can tell you this much. And no, it has nothing to do with April Fool's Day. :D

***SHOWCASE ANNOUNCEMENT!***

Unofficially, after every 10 contests, one contest winner from the 10 winning entries will be put in the Showcase Gallery.

Great idea my friend........:D
But I think I can't enter on this contest, for my comp is busted since a week and I don't know when is going to be fixed......D:>
I can only write from my jobs comp, and it really bites alot, I miss my comp alot.........But hopefully it will be fixed in this week to enter..........>:D
.........Logging of Lore.V............

Hey, I was thinking that I needed a new icon.
I'll give this contest a try, but I'll probably be late in submitting. :(

Rysufio: You've got 2 weeks but I understand some of you are pretty busy. I hope you find the time. :)

Hee hee, I can enter now. I've been wanting to do a new icon now I can draw two birds with one stone.

Hey, that should be in the Idea Box.

so does this need to be 50x50?

Noremac: No sir, in fact, I would suggest you make it at least 100x100 or larger. :D

Awesome. I have to do this.
...gotta think of an icon...

Entered, and constructively so. By the time this contest ends it would have been a full year since I changed mine.

I thunked of an icon.
and submitted it. ^-^

That was fun!

I really like this idea, if only I liked my entry as much oh well thats what I get for rushing I'll try harder on the next contest. I really think this idea is creative.

I don't like what I started on my entry, can I start another. The old one won't delete.

Cameo: Sure, if you want me to delet your old entry, just memo a link. Thanks.

Question, can you do more than one entry? Because the one I did, alas, the images are too small to make out.

Sweetcell: You may submit more than one entry, your best entry will be judged.

Ahhhh, tankies again Jem.

What a totally fun contest! Even if I don't place or anything, I've had fun 'playing' as usual!

Yea..this one's cool!

Wow, there's like... a bajillion entries. c:

|D hehe this was inspiration to finally change my icon. <3

*Updated: Thanks to all who participated! :)

This was a fun one Juno... can't wait for the next... assuming I can survive three days without 2draw!!!!!!!

That was fun. Now announce the next one.
It's been like, 3 days.

Senshi: There is a "scheduled downtime" announcement in the original heading message of this forum post, scroll to the top to find it and give it a read.

Yeah, sorry. I just now read the "Scheduled downtime" thing.
