★ What is this?
The Icon Wall is, well, a wall of icons. Simply put, you post icons that you've made in this thread, and they'll be added to the wall!
You do NOT need to be a graphics aficionado in order to contribute, nor do you need a graphics program! If you lack a graphics manipulation program, you can use sites like
Pixlr and
Lunapic.
☆ And the point of this is...?
Glad you asked! One of the benefits to posting your icons is that people will see what you have done. However, that's not the only thing. By constantly contributing to this thread, you'll have a better chance of being nominated for the Artistic Contributor badge. Pretty cool, huh?
But wait, there's more! If you post Pokémon icons that are 100 x 100 or 130 x 130, your icons may become part of EGC's new default avatar collection. That's quite an honor, don't you think?
★ Rules
Ah, yes, everyone's favorite section. Please, please, PLEASE read all of the rules before contributing to the Icon Wall.
☀ THE ICONS MUST BE YOUR OWN. This rule is very important. If we find out that you took someone else's icons and posted them for the Icon Wall, you will be infracted for plagiarism and will no longer be able to contribute to the wall.
☀ It is highly encouraged that you post new icons. You may post icons that you've made in the past, but new icons are preferred.
☀ You can only make five differently sized icons. Those sizes are 100 x 100, 130 x 130, 150 x 150, 180 x 180, and 200 x 200. If you make 170 x 170 icons or 199 x 199 ones, they will be ignored.
☀ Only post square icons, please. Any icons that are rectangular in shape--even if it's subtle (such as 129 x 130)--will not be added.
☀ Please use the following file formats for your icons: PNG, JPEG, or GIF. Additionally, if you want to add animated gif icons, they MUST BE NO LARGER THAN 1MB. This is to prevent people's computers from lagging. Plus, the max filesize for avatars/signatures on here is 1MB anyway.
☀ You can only post fifteen icons total per day. For example, you cannot post fifteen 100 x 100 and fifteen 130 x 130 icons, but you can post seven 100 x 100 icons and eight 130 x 130 icons. If you do post more, then the first fifteen icons will be added, but any others you must post again later.
☀ PLEASE TRY TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU POST PER DAY. This rule is here in order to prevent PC +1 posts (i.e., posts that are made for the sake of upping postcount). It's fine if you post a few times to add more icons, want to ask/answer questions, or comment on people's icons, but if we feel you're posting for the sake of upping your postcount, we'll start deleting any non-icon posts.
☀ If you are the last person to post, you may post again provided that 24 hours have passed since your last post. The Icon Wall is like a gallery, so posting multiple times in a row is allowed so long as you wait a full day for each post.
☀ If you have any questions, please contact the staff. Not really a rule, but this is important as well.
