Marshmallow's set contest; [Winners announced!;]

[Xerophyte]

Unbelievable.
Well, I just love sets, I rather like contests ...so here I am.

Rewards:
Apart from imaginary marshmallows, winners will get:

65k for 1st place,
45k for 2nd place,
and 35k for 3rd place.
4th will receive 20k and 5th - 15k.

Guidelines:
1) Has to say Xerophyte; on either the avatar or the signature, both would be great, but unnecessary. ^^
2) You can enter as many times as you want, I'll just be glad.
3) Global avatar/signature rules apply.
4) I don't mind animation. ^^
5) I'd love for the subtexts to have ; at the end of them.

I think that's that ...

Now for the possible/preferred topics:

- Animals:
Rats, frogs, crocodiles, lions, hedgehogs, penguins ...
Rats and frogs are my favourite two.
Especially those brightly coloured small froggies.
But, pretty much any animals are good.

- Food:
Marshmallows,
Watermelons,
Grapes,
McDonalds (escpecially cheeseburgers, yum )
Ice cream,
Rice,
Coca-cola/Sprite;

- Cars:
Chryslers,
Jeeps,
Hummers;

- Bands/musicians:
Nirvana,
Seether,
Marilyn Manson,
Staind,
Gorillaz,
The Prodigy,
Radiohead,
Limp Bizkit;

Games:
MapleStory;
This image in particular:

or any images.

- Films/cartoons:
House of wax (the 2005 version) is my favourite movie, so any sets with that theme + Vincent on them have huge chances. I really want a couple of those.
You can also use images from The ring, I guess.
South park, especially Cartman.
Weebl & Bob,
The lion king;

- Neopets related:
Pink things,
Grey things,
Avatars,
Lab ray related,
Darigan,
And, THIS: http://images.neopets.com/pets/angry/gelert_mutant_baby.gif
Well, pretty much everything, I guess, but those are my main interests.


Subtexts:
If you're having trouble coming up with a subtext, you can simply use lyrics from the songs of my favourite bands/musicians.

Deadline:
The deadline is now August 30th.
I'll do the judging and announcing on August 31st.

Good luck everyone. ^^

I actually think the original was better(showing my age?), but the remake was fun too

[Rachel]

can i ask you a question? what are your opinions on colours? do you prefer dark sets? or do you like brightly coloured ones too?

Yay, I see Vincent!

And regarding the colour question, I do prefer darker sets, but bright ones are quite ok too.
It depends on the theme and the "atmosphere".
Hope that helped.

This is something new for me. I took images from Nirvana's "You know you're right" video. It was very fun to make.
