Amethyst's Set Contest! [WINNERS ANNOUNCED!]

[Amethyst]

Yes, it's that time of year again, the time of year when Ammy gets too lazy to make her own sets anymore and has to enlist the help of ye noble PPTers! The twist? Grab your vein-throbby things and kanji dictionaries because we're headed (via streetlight) to the land of anime, neon lights, and awesome school uniforms! In short, all entries will be anime/Japanese-themed.

PRIZES:
First Place: 25,000 NP
Second Place: 10,000 NP
Third Place: 5,000 NP

All winners will get a random Asian-ish food item. If you don't play Neopets anymore, PM me with the graphics request of your choice.

RULES:
1. The contest will end on Sept. 4th, so you have a month to enter. Sets will be judged on that day.

2. You don't have to put my name on it, but if you do, please use Amethyst or Ammy.

3. No excessive animation, please! If you want to make the text blink or something, that's okay, but I'd prefer if the picture was fairly motionless.

4. Sets will be used on PPT, so stay within the size limits^^

5. You can enter as many times as you like, but you can only win with one set.

And now, the part you've been waiting for....

SUBJECTS:
Anime I like:
Shaman King (I'll take pretty much all characters, my particular favorites being Yoh, Anna, Hao, Ren, and Jun. Just don't use Faust, Ryu, or Chocolove.

*gets motivated*
I am so running off right now and attempting on making a snazzy set!
*sings I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so*

EDIT: Done! Ehhh, it's not that good...but it's L'arc-en-ciel.


The av isn't so good, but there wasn't much I could really do with it.

[Anubis]

Ammmy?

[AFI_Sorrow]

Ammmy?

Argh! Thanks for pointing that out. Ooooooh, and I merged the layers too. Bleh. *runs off to try and fix it*
Thanks Anubis. Oiy, I must be really tired.

EDIT: It's a bit different, because I forgot the name of the font, and ahhh well.

I note red is not in your list of favorite colors, I hope you don't dislike it. I tried other colors, and for some reason, the red tones just worked better.

Omokage
