Tropes



A trope is a common pattern, theme, or motif in a story, and with this theme we'll be looking at anime tropes :D If you don't know what a trope is or at a loss for one that would be present in an anime, there are many sites that huge lists of them that might help you stimulate ideas. As a starting point, take a look at TVTropes.

I hope you have fun with this theme :)

Theme: Tropes
- you may use words/characters/scenes of your favourite anime or manga that is representative of an anime trope
- feel free to use other images (non-anime) as background or accents to the central image
- words, sayings, quotes may help to explain your icon
- be creative!

Rules:
- You can enter up to 2 icons
- Icon size: 100x100 or 100x125 (MAL size)
- Cannot be from fan art, unless it is your own (or you have permission)
- All submitted icons must be created in the time frame of the contest (ie: not 2 months ago)
- Must be your own work

Format for Submitting Icons:
1. (insert icon here)
2. name the character/series
3. link to the original picture (or original in spoilers)

Reward:
- 1st place: icon as club picture, and winner banner
- 2nd place: winner banner
- 3rd place: winner banner
Note: places will be based on individuals, rather than icons

------------------------DEADLINE--------------------------
Sunday, April 18th

Questions or comments can messaged to either icecreeaamm, Kineta or RaitotheReaper!

We hope to see all your wonderful icons!! :D

Ha! I recently read some of the entries on that site due to a mentioning of it on a different forum. How ironic. And that site is a good source of amusement. :D

Well, I've been missing for a while now, but I might just be able to come up with something this time around! :D

I'll edit this post if/when I come up with some entries. ^_^

I'll edit this post when I come up with some entries :)

This was tricky. I'm wondering if we can use tropes that aren't off the page that was linked? For example anime character tropes.

Does this count as fanart? o.o It'd suck if it did, cause it's such a nice icon <3

I took it due to the nature of this theme... and the stunning lack of icons :( But for future reference, if you don't know where an image came from (ie: what anime) you probably shouldn't be using it ;)
