Guardian Battle

[tinny]

Welcome to the Guardian Battle!

If you don't know what Guardian is, here's a rec post: https://tinny.dreamwidth.org/514216.html
You can officially watch Guardian here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdRj_d7_skE&list=PLvpAVnYN4lb2Gfz6Feq3KA1r5trkUxMU-

Battle rules: A "battle" is not as competitive as it sounds. What happens is that everyone makes icons, and at the end, there is a beautiful post with everyone's icons that we can all admire. That's it!
(you can see how a typical fandom battle looks here).

Total number of icons: 1 per episode, so 40 icons total.
If 40 are too many for you, you can choose to only participate for individual parts. The current plan is to split it into four parts with 10 episodes each.

To participate, make one icon of each episode, and submit your icons here:

Part1: episode 01 - 10 --- COMPLETED
Part2: episode 11 - 20 --- COMPLETED
Part3: episode 21 - 30 --- COMPLETED
Part4: episode 31 - 40 --- COMPLETED

Re: Sign Up Thread

[extrapenguin]

I sign up to make something that has, at the very least, had its brightness-contrast values and maybe chroma adjusted subtly and perhaps even non-uniformly across the 100px by 100px image! :P

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Yay! Glad to have you! <3

(If you are interested in specific techniques - like textures or coloring, I'd be happy to look for icon tutorials. Iconmaking is fun!)

Re: Sign Up Thread

[teaotter]

Yes, please!

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Oh, did I never answer your comment? (I did add you to the list last night, though.)

Welcome! Thanks for signing up! <3

Re: Sign Up Thread

[abyss_valkyrie]

Oh goodness,YYYYESSS!
Since I'm not done watching it completely,for now I'm gonna sign up till ep 20. But I have a feeling I will end up finishing it all soon. :3

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Yesyesyesyesyes! <3

(I myself am at ep 33, but this is *another* reason to get that thing finished! I will need the caps. :D)

Re: Sign Up Thread

[nightbulbs]

Well, consider me signed up for part 1 (for now, we'll see if I end up watching more!)

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Will do! How far are you? 20 was the one where I was well and truly hooked, but there are already some beautiful scenes in 7 and 8.

Re: Sign Up Thread

[lynndyre]

Me! (because my Guardian icon folder wasn't big enough, apparently)

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Yisssss! Welcome!

(I'm finding myself going back to recap for this battle too. I thought I had enough caps, but I really don't. :D)

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Quick reminder: the first part of the Guardian icon battle is due in a week, on April 8.

Please let me know if you need an extension.

Re: Sign Up Thread

[naye]

Since I did Part 1 in good time, and the deadlines seem to be very generous I'd like to sign up for the other parts too! I like a challenge, and this was fun! ♥ Thank you for running this!

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Yes, they are generous because I was hoping some people who have just entered the fandom would be willing to enter, too.

(And because I already have two other sets to make this month, um. :))

So, yes, awesome, I've signed you up for the other parts as well! <3

Thank you for running this!

My pleasure!

Re: Sign Up Thread

[green]

I will try! Just part 1 for now. (I hope I can get them done, I am tight on fannish time lately with so many priorities)

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Awesome!

Adding you in for part 1!

I will definitely wait for everyone's submission before making the roundup post for part 1.

(It was originally supposed to roughly coincide with extrapenguin's episode reviews, and they're at ep 6 right now, I think?)

I myself have only made 4 icons so far. *g*

Re: Sign Up Thread

[green]

signing up for the other parts of the battle, as well. :D this is too much fun.

Re: Sign Up Thread

[kimboo_york]

Oh no I'm signing up for my first icon battle oh no

(parts 2, 3, and 4 obv.)

:D

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Awesome!!! Welcome!

I am pretty sure the deadline will be moved (back) some, because it coincides with the reveal of the Reverse Exchange, and a lot of people will be busy with that until then. So there is a lot of time to get the icons done.

If you happen to make caps you'd like to share, I'd be delighted to add the link to the battle post.

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

How are your battle icons coming? You still have until tomorrow end-of-day. Do you think you'll make it? Or would you prefer an extension?

(I think I had the exchange reveal date wrong before. But since it's on the 20th, I am now happy that we're one day ahead of the exchange if we hold our deadline. But I'll still extend the battle if you'd like me to.)

Re: Sign Up Thread

[shiruji]

Me me me! I want to sign up! :D
I'm new to icon battles - in fact I've never done a battle before o.@
But the Guardian battle seems like fun!

I'll sign up for part 2, 3 & 4! (being a optimist, I know haha!)
-Shiruji

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Oooooooh, that's amazing! Thank you for signing up!

You still have a week to finish the ten part2 icons, that should be doable. Battles are not very battle-like, I have no idea why they're called that. :) The results are just very pretty to look at.

If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask me!

Re: Sign Up Thread

[abyss_valkyrie]

Y'know what, I know I'll be tempted so I'll just sign up for part three and four as well! XD

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tsubame_17]

HI! (^_^)/
I would like to sign up for the last 2 parts, please~

Re: Sign Up Thread

[tinny]

Yay! Welcome and thank you for signing up!

The deadline for part 3 is June 29, but I will postpone it for everyone who needs an extension.

If you need caps, I can upload some for those eps. (Or if you have caps and want to share, I will link them here in this post, too.)
