Let's start this off simple, and tiny. Very tiny. What you see is the navigation icon carved in long-ago dried clay. To put the size into perspective, that is my thumb next to it, and I have small hands. I originally attempted to do a bit of highlighting of the back arrows, which worked well, but my attempt to highlight the foreground arrows didn't go quite so well.

Can we use other materials?

Yea you can, so long as its carved

Well, I said I should give carving a shot and here it is: icon Bob for Established housing scene. Carved in someone's favorite soap (sorry mom...)

 

Back story: Stakeout for people in the house to fall asleep -> in awesome silence creep around the bathroom cabinet -> target the victim -> abduct the victim -> get job done - point of no return.  (murder tool in the picture)

That should have been a + vote, sorry Lani, on phone & the buttons shifted -_-" - i love it, totally awesome!

Moar entries! This time I chose a (significantly) more forgiving material, modeling clay. It's still a fairly simple icon, but I think I managed to reproduce it significantly better than my attempt at the compass.

The map icon on the left carved with a kitchen knife into a grapefruit. :)

You've got until 20:00 ST to get any further submissions in

I tried to make the held orb on the creatures page a few times out of some candles, the standing one wasn't quite able to stand without help

Right then magical MD people...after much deliberation and some last minute extra opinions the winners are:

 

1st- Lania

2nd- Dst

3rd - Miq

 

Myself and Shadowseeker reviewed all those scored 5. We both Agreed Miq was the 3rd place. Bored's is the cleanest, but also the simplest. Change's is clever, but messy. Amber clearly put a lot of effort in, as did Miq, for full 3D effects. However we feel that Miq's came out with slightly more detail on his star.

 

For the tied first place (which I have to thank Lania for letting me know how the rep system works and making my life harder ;) lol), I had to pull in extras. I was siding to Lania and Shadow to Dst. Aeo and Sasha both reviewed the carvings and both voted for Lania. This is mostly based on the depth and texture aspect. Had this been a figure contest or such, Dst would win it, but based on carving alone, Lania wins.

 

Congratulations - your items and rewards are coming shortly.
