OOC: Floaty Fairy Things!

dark_slippy_thingHi. My name is iBook (well, not really, but work with me here) and I am addicted to fairy icons.
*Enter the rest of the room saying, "Hiii, iBook."*
In fact, I am so addicted to fairy icons, that I've been shoving them up the noses of anyone who enters a shiny random contest that I hold every week and happens to win.
Well, I did until technology pulled a fast one on me, and two computers, a monitor and a half, my art tablet, a networking card, and a cat5 cable all decided they might like to rebel on me at once.
... We're still working with me, right?
The fact remains, you might not have a fairy icon for your character, BillyBobJimJoeSteveFredGeorgeNantucket the Fourth, Esq. And that is where my addiction to artistic freeware and love of random number generators kicks in.
Once again, now that I have a functional computer with a functional internet connection and another functional computer on the way because I am insane and big on spending more money than I am actually made of, I will be putting up my happy shiny sparkly fairy contests of doom every Monday, and drawing one winner on Wednesday, unless I'm feeling particularly ambitious that week and decide that I can handle two or three (it all depends on my work schedule, which has been clearing up nicely for this sort of stuff).
Rules! If you enter without reading them, the Really Useful Book will be sad. We don't want to make it moult its last page, do we? That would be mean.
What I need from anyone who enters is a reference picture that shows two things clearly enough that I might be able to BS my way through a very stylized little icon with no other discernible features- hairstyle, and a rough idea of what sort of clothing your character wears. Because the faces of these little things are practically all identical, hair and clothes are important, and if you win without showing me one or the other, I'll make it anyhow, but there will be much pulling out of my hair and gnashing of my teeth and your icon will probably wind up bearing a striking resemblance to Steve Urkel. Because I have that power.
Also needed from you is some idea of what you'd like as a fairy in your icon. Your fairy can be anything from a person they know to a dildo cozy, feel free to get creative- but again, if you get creative and don't leave me a reference, if I have no idea what that item looks like, you're going to be stuck with something that could potentially look like a brick of cheese with glittery wings.
Every Monday that I'm around, I'll put up a post like this one, where you can comment to enter your character into the draw. Only characters who haven't gotten an icon are eligible to win, but if you have more than one active character who needs to be drawn, feel free to spam me with references and object ideas for all of them, and if you win, I'll pick one for you.
Every Wednesday, I'll draw a name (or two, or twelve, we'll see how nuts I am at the time) and will announce the winner/s. It might take me a fewmonths days to draw your icon. I've gotten better at getting them done quickly, now that technology doesn't hate me anymore.
So, Fandomites! It's a new semester, and it's a free-for-all once again. I won't draw the same characters again, but if you have characters that don't yet have icons, feel free to enter them!
And... Go!
THIS ROUND IS NOW CLOSED! :D

Date: 2007-09-10 06:32 pm (UTC)What would make Tink happier than anything else in the world would be if Wendy (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Rellyjean/Tink/PeterPan58.jpg) Darling (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Rellyjean/Tink/PeterPan204.jpg) were (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Rellyjean/Tink/PeterPan61.jpg) dead (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Rellyjean/Tink/PeterPan56.jpg). Like, little cartoon X-d out eyes. That would make Tink happier than fashion, money, absinthe, and Peter coming crawling back to her all wrapped together.

As a fairy I would say God, but that's kind of tricky. ;)So he would like to be an angel again, symbolised by wings.

And for a fairy, a comedy and tragedy mask?

I'd ask for one for Meg but I have no clue what I'd want for a fairy.
