I just want to post this again for all people who want to submit icons.
I am really not too concerned with the obvious-ness of your icons, I was just really looking for something that "represented" a nation, or all four. The thing I was trying to avoid is like: an icon with a badger-mole on it and the submitter thought that it like stands for the Earth Nation, (if that makes sense).
Here are some things that could help you to make them: ~Pick specific places in a certain nation that is widely known: like the fire nation palace ~Chose specific people who are major figures of a nation: like Monk Gyasto ~Emblems and signs from nations
Those are just some ideas. I hope that helps out some of you.

I hope I finish mine in time. I've been meaning to do the last few, but just don't get around to it. My skills are pretty terrible, but it's practice! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I've made like 7 icons in my life and have a program I don't know how to use. XD

@west: Oh, I love this challenge more than the previous one. I can't wait to see what has been made for this icontest. I hope I finish mine in time. I've been meaning to do the last few, but just don't get around to it. My skills are pretty terrible, but it's practice! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I've made like 7 icons in my life and have a program I don't know how to use. XD Practice is always to best way to learn something. Which program do you have, if you don't mind me asking? You can always easily find tutorials on the internet to guide you and help you use whichever program you have.

I have Photo Impression. I had never heard of it and just found it on the computer already, so I started playing around. The tutorials I found weren't helpful, but maybe I just missed it.

I have Photo Impression too. It's not very good, but once you get used to it, it's pretty okay. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Really? One big question: How do you make things you cut and paste stay together? Like if you paste something, then want to put a texture over both the pasted thing and background, how do you make them one big thing? (Is this what merging is? I'm not sure.)

I made an entry :< I've never done one of these contests before so, I'm not expecting much I'm better at siggys & banner rather than icons.

Sorry everyone. I had the lonest tennis match ever today, I just got back at 11:00pm. And I am totally out of it; I need sleep. So I will post all the Icon contest things tomorrow. Just thought that I would let you all know that; and good night.

I have to no problems with this one. It's pretty cool!

Could someone at least post that they somewhat like or interested this contest?
I am sort fo getting a vibe that no one really likes it.

I like it, I'm just having trouble thinking of exactly what I'm going to do for it. ^^ It's tough, but that's why it's called a challenge, I guess.
It'll be fun to see everyone's interpretations of it.

If I see one Zutara/Taang yin/yang theory icon I'm going to hurl.get your barf bag ready, RP! Dude, this is pretty cool, West. Calling it Contest 71 and 72 makes it sound like the challenge is going to be two weeks long or something though. It'd make more sense to call it a dual contest or something, but WHATEVS. :] i'm way to technical for my own good x.xI dunno if I can make six icons in this week but i'm sure gonna try. the more icons I make, the bigger chance I have of winning. >D

I like this challenge, West. The more difficult, the more I like it. xD
Like BT, I can't wait to see what everyone is going to make out of this. I already made six icons immediately after you posted the challenge but whatever but I need to improve them a bit.
