    Icons:

    Demon creature from this banner (http://i56.tinypic.com/2vigkgl.jpg) featured in two status icon sets. Both sets 48x48 .png. One set, would have him inside a mostly-thin circle. The circle's outer color should be black. Like this...http://i47.tinypic.com/e7juxj.png <-- The circle itself should also be just about as thick as the circles in the above image.


    The circle's inner color should be similar to the phrase in this cat. strip --> http://i48.tinypic.com/2v0zj15.png. The phrase "DEADICATED TO HORROR" is colored dark orange at the top, with a brighter shade of orange at the tips. The circle's inner color should be shaded the same way. But it has to look nicely mixed. Not spotty or half and half. The overall background of the icon should be black. The creature should be smiling, knife in hand for NEW POSTS, Frowning with his head and neck shown for OLD POSTS, and FROWNING with 2 X's for eyes for FORUM LINK. Pose Mock ups are below...

    Desired FORUM LINK pose - [​IMG]

    His size within the circle should be similar to the first pose-mockup we posted. In 2nd and 3rd, we think he is too big. Also for FORUM LINK, his head and neck should be upright like in the OLD POSTS pose. As you can see in the pose-mock-ups for OLD POSTS and FORUM LINK, there's no need to get difficult or super creative with the X's for eyes and frown. Just keep it simple yet effective and noticeable.

    The next set would be all the same poses. Except the demon creature would be framed within a blood-splattered polaroid picture. Which should visually look as if it's been left inside of a dank boiler room for about a month.


    Now after the two creature sets. Another set we're interested in is a Freddy and Jason set. We want silhouettes of Jason's mask and Freddy's glove for OLD POSTS and NEW POSTS. Both with grungy blood-splattered backgrounds. Only for NEW POSTS, the icon would have a slash/gash/tear going straight across or straight down. Below...are mockups of a Freddy and Jason silhouette. Along with a rip effect pic.

    JASON - http://i47.tinypic.com/whjs4x.jpg
    RIP - http://i47.tinypic.com/22zsw8.jpg

    ^This gash-pic is just to give an example. We'd like the actual one to be thinner in width.


    The last set of icons are just these two images...

    http://i48.tinypic.com/aom1oz.jpg <-- resize to 48x48. Add
    Gloss and blood splatter.

    http://i45.tinypic.com/21wk.jpg <-- resize to 48x48. Just
    add gloss.



    We also need two category strips (forum head backgrounds). No set size, should be .png extension.

    STRIP 1 would feature the phrase "HORROR MOVIES AND STUFF", in
    black-colored, ink-blotty-like lettering. A bit sloppy with some
    ink-blot splashes strewn throughout. The phrase would be tilted a bit, and be positioned right in the middle of the strip.
    The background color would be a mix of the #660000 and #ff0000 hex
    color codes. Ink Blot lettering examples One
    (http://blog.vindale.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ink-blot.png) and
    Two (http://wickedstageact2.typepad.com/life_on_the_wicked_stage_/WindowsLiveWriter/2007inkblot.jpg).

    STRIP 2 would feature the same phrase, with the same tilt, and middle positioning. Except, the
    background color would be black. And the background would have cracks,
    pilts, and holes in it like a dilapidated building (example
    http://www.abcbuilding.com.au/wp-content/specific-problems.jpg). And
    the phrase HORROR MOVIES AND STUFF would be in bloody, runny lettering. (Bloody lettering
    example http://blog.meetthegimp.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/blood.jpg).





    If can be done in 72 hours (by Wednesday morning), we'll pay between $25 and $180 paypal! Demos via this thread or via PM would be much appreciated! If you need extra time beyond the 72 hours, post here and we will consider extending it!
