Hello everyone!

Now, sorry for the delay, but here it is! The next Icontest ^^

Theme: Sunshine

- remember, sunshine can be literal or metaphorical ;)
- the icons can be animated gif

Rules:
- You can enter up to 2 icons
- Icon size: 100x100 or 100x125 (MAL size)
- Must be your own work

Format for Submitting Icons:
1. (insert icon here)
2. name the character/series
3. give link to the original picture so we know that you did not submit another person's work

Reward:
If your icon is selected as first place your icon will be used as the main club picture/icon for two weeks until the next Icontest has another winner :) You will also get a banner for your profile! Also, since the Icontest are having more submissions we are going to give banners for 2nd and 3rd place too:)

Happy Icon Making! ^^

PS. I know, we have a thing for words that start with 'S', don't we? We tried not to, trust me xD
... But you know what they say - three times the charm ;)

Yup. In fact, we'd prefer that over two separate posts :)

Yay! They're all so good! I've been really missing spring (especially since we just had a snow dump) so looking at all these icons makes me feel like it's sunny ^^

Vertago - Would you like to enter both icons, or just the text one?

edge_666 - Do you have the link that you got the picture from? My only worry is if it's fan art - don't want to step on anyone's toes. As long as it doesn't look like anyone will come screaming at me for use of their art without permission, I won't disqualify the icon ^^ It's very pretty, though.

Laen - You're not bad at this :P I love your icon, and the fact that you took a different spin on it than others have. Don't put your self down! :)


In other news, I will be closing the thread either tomorrow after work (Tuesday evening) or Wednesday morning - depending on how I'm feeling. So there's still time to submit icons! *encourages everyone to enter* :)

Both avatars use lyrics as their text.
Number 1 was originally "Sunshine in your hair" from I'm Already There by Lonestar (love that song), but I mistyped it. It still works, though, so I've decided to leave it. And it turns out to also be a line from another song this way, The Girl With The Sunshine In Her Hair by The Falling Leaves. :P
Number 2 is of course from Walking on Sunshine by Aly & AJ. A fairly well-known song, I should think.

Yeh a well know song, but who the hell are Aly & AJ? Walking on sunshine was written by Kimberley Rew and performed by Katrina and the Waves. Unless it is a cover of Walking on sunshine by Eddie Grant but somehow I doubt that ^_^

Well, Aly & AJ are a duet. They have sung songs for Disney movies (they sang "Do You Believe in Magic?" too), and they were the first artist to come up in the results when I looked up the song lyrics, so I assumed they were the original artist (I rarely pay attention to the artist's name when listening to the radio).
