[contest] "Why can't we be friends?" mini contest

[Sophonax]

I got a question. Can I make a collab with someone off-site?

In other words, a person who's not regged on AF/AW/AG?

I'm just wondering, cause I want to make a wallpaper with that person. ^^;

[Thornwillow]

The Rules:

- anyone is fair game to ask to be your partner (myself included!!) so ask away! However, they must be a member of animeforum.com. In the past, people have had their friend sign up for the site to participate. That is fine.

To answer your question Soph.

[Sophonax]

Thanks Thorny. <3

Guh, I must be blind for not seeing that. >_>;

ee; Too bad Trin is taken. XD


Anyhow, would it be ok if I start the wall now, and then have the person to reg just before the end of the contest?

[MistressPookyChan]

As long as you give me the username before the end of the contest. ASAP is best, so that i can put it on the main page.

Okie dokie!
Here's mine and Chibi's Wallpaper and the opinions.

Chibi Fire Angel:

1. Well working with Trinny...was an honour, yes fun coming up with ideas, like taking a bath in chocolate XD
And when one of us got stuck on what to do the other pitched a little in to inspire the other.

plus finding brushes [winkwink]

It was alot more fun to work with another person, for the very reasons that we are both better at some things and vice versa, so in a way we could do almost anything [i feel like im making up a Miss America candidate speech but ya know its true <3]

I always find collabs much more fun alot of the times and this time was no excepion.

2. Now the meaning behind this wallpaper is basically, friendship can be in many forms so we took it [as it's graphics] what's the most difference you can really get in a graphic?

Colours. [spealt the britsh way..the 'U' is meant to be there] XD

So in this wall there's Inoue, Ichigo and Chad from Bleach, all very different, different ethnic backgrounds, pasts and stories yet they care for each other no matter what and their colours go and blend in much like their personalities and abilities.

So the meaning of our wallpaper is that friendship comes in different [and sometimes strange] forms.

Trinity Muse:

1.Working with Chibi was amazing, as usual. We each got our part of the labour and worked on it separately. Of course, we had to consult about some trivia. Like, brushes *Wink back*, texts and etc. Each of us complement the other. And, I have to say that..

Team work is a fabulous thing. And, collabing is a great way to get to know your partners style and maybe learn something new and exciting. I'd, myself, definitely want to collab with others more often.

2. The meaning of the wallpaper would be that.. Friendship comes in different colours [As corny as it would sound]. And, as you would know, Ichigo, Inoue and Sado from the anime Bleach, are best friends. So, it was pretty much a perfect stock of friendship.

I'd like to add, that this wall was worked on by two people. Two friends, that is. I think it reftects the chaste friendship between me and her. It's like both of us gave away some part of our own personalities to create this wallpaper.

Oh, and, Good Luck to everyone entering! :3

FINALLY! Mine and Dawn's wallpaper is done! lol Took forever, but done indefinitely.

Now, a few words, as requested by the ever fun Pookychan.

From Dawnrune (I typed it out for him as he spoke to me. ):

1.) Working with my brother was hard because our art styles are so drastically different. Plus, he bossed me around a lot about what to do or he just changed what I did, but thats ok because I'm still learning. And even though we're brothers and got on each others nerves about it, it still turned out good to us and we had fun making it!

2.) Dawnrune just had a simple quote to answer this question, one of his own. "Even though time may pass, the bonds between friends will never break."

From Thorny!:

1.) Well ... working with my little brother was awesome, yet frustrating because we share the same computer. lol But it was good too, because as I did stuff and he did stuff, we would watch the other and put our input in one way or another. My little brother, I found out, has such a great eye for creative positioning. I loved working with him, and the fact that the wallpaper has made us excited shows that we feel it went well.

2.) I was searching for a scan to symbolize friendship, and after scrapping 3 of them, I found this one from AIR which I feel totally symbolizes friendship. It's warm, comforting, and just fun. Friendship is all about fun and trust and the good times, and I feel this wallpaper captures off of that.

So enjoy!

CONTEST EXTENDED!

When I made the due date, I thought it was after the US Thanksgiving break. however, I was off by a week. Since I wanted people to have the holiday to do their wallpaper, the date has been pushed back a week.

If you already submitted your wall, you may edit it and re-submit it again in a week if you like.

[MistressPookyChan]

Anyone else finish their wallpapers?

[Ωmega]

[Suichiro Taguchi]

[Yugure's Goddess]

I've been with buhbibutterfly but unfortunately, I have not had much luck in getting my wallpapers to her. Megauploads is giving me problems and I can't attach them to the PM and when sent in an IM the zip file turns up empty so... do you have any suggestions or should I allow buhbi to team up with some one else.... this isn't working out for us.

I appologize to her, again, btw.

love
dani
dude

[Cantelope]

Use rapidshare.de

We still have a couple days left. All is silent on the eastern front. Or wherever Pooky lives.

[Ωmega]

I find it easier to post it in one of your testing threads as a photoshop attachment. If not, try using email or IM boxes.
<.< btw, where there prizes listed? Just wondering =3

[MistressPookyChan]

Sorry! been in colonial williamsburg for the last few days without ye olde computers.

Anywho, this contest was just for fun and something to fill the void of November. I'm not on my usual comp so I don't have access to anything except the net until the 11th. So, if y'all don't mind, I'll make up some banner and get the voting set up then.

Also, I'll try to get the december contest details up in the next couple of days. Still have to think of the details.

Thanks again for your participation, everyone!!!!

[Kaikou]

Um...so when is this gonna be voted on? Or did I miss it somewhere in the last pages? o.0

[MistressPookyChan]

It was forgotten about. I can open up a people's choice for this too if you like. No one really asked about it again so...

yeah, I'll open one up.

[Kaikou]

Oh. Thanks. I was just curious to see who won. :S

[~Sakura Haruno~]

i dont understand anything in here xD

[Kaikou]

It doesn't matter anymore because this contest is over.
