Journey


Is the destination more important, or the journey? Is it a journey of the heart, of the mind, or a physical trek through some obstacle? What do you have more or less of at the end, as in comparison with the start?

You decide!

Theme: Journey
- you may use words/characters/scenes of your favourite anime or manga that relates to some sort of journey -- the beginning, middle, or end, doesn't matter
- feel free to use other images (non-anime) as background or accents to the central image
- 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--------------------------
Saturday, November 15th

Questions or comments can messaged to either icecreeaamm or myself!

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

Yay! A Tsubasa Reservior Chronicle icon! I am ecstatic... but I'd be even happier if you had them manga's name instead of the anime's name when you used manga images ><; (The anime was atrocious, the manga is my obsession XD)

BenjoKun said:

Yes, our rules are enforced here, but I'm pretty busy a lot of the time, too, so I don't jump on things right away ^^ Neither do I always discuss these things in the thread -- PMs are usually better. Lastly, icons may be posted here which do not meet the rules, and subsequently, are not including in the voting rounds. If you ever have a concern about an image or an icon, you're also always welcome to PM myself or icecream :)

I will look at the images you are concerned about, and ensure they are not fan art. I can tell you right off the bat that the TRC one isn't though.

First image is a wallpaper/edited version of a manga image. If you make an image search on "Mushishi" on google, it's one of the first results.

Same for the second one. Edited version of an official CLAMP image for the Tsubasa manga.
