Pink Poogle Toy Forum

Optimus - Pretty good job cutting the little guy out from the blue background. Okay, I really find this icon adorable. My little problems with it are that tere is some greyish bits around the animal (can't think of what that animal is called...) and that the letter 'i' in the subtext you used looks weird to me.

bluehawaii19 - Not bad. That was a hard image you chose to work with. I like the border you used. The text curving around his head looks a little weird. I'd maybe move it up a little bit away from him. And the cursive font is a little bit hard to read.

Chii - Very nice. I love what you've done to the image. It's a beautiful effect. Really, my only problem is with where you placed the word 'take.' I'd have maybe put 'every breath' on one line, and then 'you take' one line down.

Apricus - Yep, icons are definitely right up your alley. =P I love the simplicity of this, and the placement of text in the horizontal band. My only problem is that the border looks a little jaggedy, though that sort of can't be helped.

Neopets Addict - It's sort of plain, but I like it. The fact that you have the penguin faded into the background is just enough detail and a good filler. I like the text you've used, though I'm not overly fond of the animation. You really haven't done much with this set though.

Neko - I love the background and the colors. And the text, whatever language it's in. The only thing I don't like is the black border. (Meep. I want this icon!)

Koku - You've resized it, maybe blurred it a bit...and then it looks like you just stuck on text. Sorta hard to rate.

Kyra - I really like how you've placed the image, as well as the text. The faded look of the text works really well. The background effects are simple, and add just enough to the image that they don't take away from the picture.

Dobbitron - Well, you just sort of added a background. How you've blurred that into the puppy looks sort of odd, and the background is a little too empty. This could be fixed by adding more design to it, OR changing the main text to a larger font to fill up space.

paola - Interesting image choice. Hm...It's really sort of hard to tell what the image is until you've looked at it for a few seconds. It's very nicely put together, but the text is close to impossible for me to read until I sorta squinted, tilted my head, and stared at it for a minute. =P

Okay.... my votes go to Dobbitron and Koku.

Wow...I thought I was really out this round.

I will work x10 harder on the next task.

*sweatdrop* I didn't do anything like that. Though, I did use the Overlay effect. ^^;; meep!



Meep! In truth, I was trying to make a dream-ish kind of theme. I always thought that purples and blues make a nice dreamy effect! *sweatdrop* ^. ~;;;



I was going to put what the character meant, but it looked horrid, so I left it as is. Oh, well.



I added the black border because my older bro told me, he said it looked better that way, though I don't see any difference if there wasn't a border! *blinks* Fufuu...hmm...you want this icon? Is it that good? Then, maybe, I can you one. ^^



Thank you all of you! Btw, to avoid anymore confusion, the character I used in my icon is the Japanese kanji symbol for the word dream, which is yume. Geez, I can't believe I lasted this long in this competition!

Thanks for pointing that out. At first glance, it looked like "love" to me, which is why I thought that that was your theme. It's okay. Calm down. *patpat*

That's what I like the most about it, the colors.



Heh, I'm not really sure it's all that great ^^;



Yeah, everyone that saw it was confused. I wanted it to be like that though. It reflects my emotions at the time that I made it. I think that's what I really like about it, it has a bit of me in it. (Did that make sense? XP)



XD I liked the image, and somehow I wanted to use. I started it before this round was set


I didn't think I was going to make it past this round. I'm pretty surprised. I guess, I wanted it to be confusing that's why I never changed the image. And the text is supposed to be hard to read XD I guess I should've stuck with the first version.

Thanks for the ratings guys!

I had realy doubt with this icon but judging from the ratings I guess that other people see some merit in it. Maybe next time I'll try to think more positively and try to have more confidence when creating and posting my graphics.

Thanks guys!

All of you are so modest.

For all of you who thought you were going to be out this round, well, the jduges have obviously thought your graphics were better than you thought/hoped they were. You all have deserved to get this far. All of you have talent. The people who have been voted out of this competition
had talent. So I guess that makes it all the more awesome for you all to have made it this far.

Good luck for these last few rounds. I'm thinking there's only going to be three more rounds at most, so you especially have to work your hardest now. Because it's down to the best of the best of PPTTG.

The next round will be announced shortly.




To Optimus specifically, you have improved. Your graphics have varied in what effects you've used, though everything you make is still so obviously yours. I look at a set, and I can say "Oh, Optimus must've made that!" I'm glad to see that this competition has helped you a bit. (I think you've participated in all three of them...)

Yarrrr. Ye've all improved muchly. Tis a fine thing ter see. We judges be highly glad that ye've taken our advice inter consideration. Pass the grog around, laddies!
