Sept. Graphic Challenge: Once More, With Feeling

[Admin!]

To go along with the writing challenge, we're also offering a graphics challenge, to be voted on in the same way. Graphics can be anything: blends, avatar/signature set, a group of avatars, journal banners...really, anything you want. Voting will take place at the same time as the writing challenge and OTMs.

The Challenge: Use song lyrics in the graphics.

The Rules:

• Two entries per member.
  
• No nudity/graphic images.
  
• Graphics must be Hammel-related

[Evangeline Covington]

Here's an Evie banner I threw together, reflecting the vulnerable part of her personality.

[Gabriel Underwood]

Gabriel and Jacob, as partners in crime, the way it should be

[Dr. James Campbell]

Because of course, Hammel's school song should be from War of the Roses.

[Nathanael Lee]

This contest needed some Dr. Sexy.

[Clarisse Prideaux]

Ghost Love Score

"Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman`s noose"

"My fall will be for you"

"If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever"

I think these Nightwish lyrics do a fairly good job of explained exactly how devoted the twins are to Gabe and his cause.

[Lala & Reese Degreas]

Fireflies

"Everything is never as it seems
when I fall asleep"

Alice's fireflies are way more interesting than those the rest of the world sees.

[Levi Xu]

Signature. This is James' fault.

[Ann Hudgins]

That. Because it was a triumph.

[Joshua Bernstein]

I wasn't going to do this, I really wasn't. But then this song beat me over the head and told me I had to use it because really who doesn't like a good revenge song?



The song is Downfall by The Extraordinary Contraptions:

They came down from the sky
Image burned in my eyes
When I think of what they did
I only want to sin

I want to take their heads
Put them on spikes
I know it's bad
I can't sleep at night
And still I see her face, absconded in flames
How can I resist this darkest wish
I'm gonna use these hands, secure their demise
In my mind there forms a plan
They'll pay with their lives

Was it something that I did that brought this pain from above?
How long must I relive the loss of life
Oh, the loss of life, the loss of love

I think I've shouldered enough
Taking blow after blow
This bittersweet song
How I wish that they could know
How they burned my heart
Bled it till dry
Bodies bloated and charred
Not one tear left to cry
And still I blame myself, thought I've tried to hope
Regardless of my health, I've got to hold on
At the end of my rope

They think they can control - it's all in vain
They'll wish it was a wish that they
Oh, that they hadn't made

[L.C. Milliner]

I'm Still Here (L.C.'s theme)

I saw this movie yesterday and it reminded me of L.C., a little bit. I was already struggling with the graphics challenge and I didn't know what to do, but this gave me a fantastic idea. Everyone's looking out for Jim and he's just going on and being a bum, and then he takes an incredible journey and ends up better off at the end of it. I see L.C. in Jim, so much. When she started at Hammel, I was certain she'd be a M.S.A.D. member and would always be a bitchy girl who hates everyone. But I see more to her than that, now. I see a young adult who just wants to get on with her life and shrug off her past and is having a little trouble getting along with people.

I honestly want to blame Sean for this idea, he's starting to become L.C.'s role model, as much as she may hate to admit it, even to me.

The graphic represents that, from any angle, L.C. looks like a troublemaker, but in reality she just wants someone to care.

[Zachary LaRousse]

Whee. I feel so happy. My first ever photoshop project!
(Finally coerced my 'lil bro to help me. :3)
I personally have no idea what this may be. A banner perhaps? For Eric and Zachie. Haha. :3.
Yey for Mulan. =">.

[Evan Brackett]

After a lot of debate, I've finally decided to post this.



Enjoy.
