Tech Icon Makers Challenge:November,2006 Jury Thread

Summoning is by by far the most intersting. I like the new?? warmer version better of the two in the zip file.

 

[Ringo Mora]

so many nice ones to pick from. I am so grateful.

Nearly for got. I voted for Art. I love summoning, but can't use it.

Yeah, about that... I'm wondering what Bjorn means by warmer... Is it to inferr that there is more flames/fire or that it is more friendly

 

[Bjornlo]

If you look at the image, the color spectrum (from the light given off by the flames) is what is commonly called warmer. Basically, I thought illumination in the first cut looked a little too white and made it more "fire-like".
It is not more friendly, the subject matter is exactly the same. The camera angle is either exactly the same or as close to exact as I could get it.... foolishly forgot to save the final settings in Bryce (which is what I used to render it).

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Ok, that explains it...

 

[Bjornlo]

Ok, that explains it...

If you click on the download link (first post in this thread) you can see the two images side by side.

[utro43]

these are all really great.
i can't believe how close it is!

 

[Keroro]

I think I'll go for Summoning by Bjornlo. Very nicely designed icon. I can't believe that Beboy only got one vote this week, I thought his entry was pretty impressive. Anyway, I will try harder for next time, ony one vote. Must try harder.

 

[utro43]

hmmmm
honestly i'm surprised by the popularity of "summoning"....
it just looks like a screen shot from a video game to me.

 

[Stormrage]

Oh its not, Bjorn`s homemeade. You just converted a picture. But I still voted for you cos it looks more techicon-like

 

[utro43]

it is? wow....that's really awesome then!
i thought it was from an xbox game.

yeah...mine's a cut'n paste.....but i still had to put some work in it
and even though it look's like i won't win, i still think it will be used by
more people, since it's just so darn useful (same goes for Ares' entry).

time will tell

 

[Spacer One]

That ancient Medicine isnt a model?? Im kinda surprised...nice work

 

[Storm Grunt]

Well now, with about a half hour left before the polls close we have 53 voters. I think thats a record! thanks guy's for supporting this competition.
It's still very close between utro43 and Bjornlo,so anything can happen in the last few minutes. Good Luck guy's.....
My vote had already been cast earlier for utro so, Thank you to whoever threw that mercy vote my way.

 

[utro43]

is there a prize for second place?

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Looks like Bjorn's entry really gave 'em Hell (literally ) Congrats on the win.

 

[Keroro]

Congrats to Bjornlo, I think the fact that your icon was not a CnP effort probably got you a few extra votes. Like mine. Well done to all though.

 

[Spacer One]

Congrats Bjornlo...

looks like I got another losing Icon, with compliments...Ah well...next month...

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Congrats Bjornlo

 

[Storm Grunt]
