You came back to heRO and are currently using an icon that was launched from this contest, and have been using it for the better part of a week if not more. It's not very kind to take the artwork provided by a player and not give them the proper prize for 'winning' or for you even using it.
Do not host any form of events if you do not plan to follow through with the awards in the end.
Cease using the items provided in this event, as they are not legitimately gained.
Funny that you should say that. I've been extremely busy lately, not getting home until at least 11 or later lately, and when I do get home, I have to do course work for the following days. I'm lucky to have time at all for heRO to level my character. I did say I plan to resume the competition, and I planned to up the prizes for the competition once it does resume. The reason I'm using the submission is because I like it; and if you have a problem with that, Rahice, I'd be more than happy to crop Jake Gyllenhaal's face onto a new guild emblem.
Additionally, I'm looking for another judge, considering that fact that Guillermo was one of them.

I waited a week before stating anything, busy or not. I gave it quite a bit of time before I opened my mouth concerning the subject.
Fact of the matter - Do not use the icons when you postpone or cancel the contest as it falls under the basis of stealing artwork and/or scamming.
Since you finally have the time to respond, then I will take this as your agreement to either stop using the icon until you continue the contest, or that you are reopening the contest.
Not to mention its rude to other competitors when using someone else's submission and they haven't won yet. It's not completely that Rahice had a problem with it, it's just common curtesy to wait for an announced winner before doing so even if you DO like it.
I know I sent these to you via pm, but I'm going to list my favorite three submitted icons and the album link here so the other judges(and other people) can see them as well =)
(lol weegee)
(a recolor of the first, as suggested by Kisame since the first one was too light)
First place goes to Ren for his Jake Gyllenhaal submission, and second place goes to Ping for the eyeball submission AND Emma for her Mew submission. That means there's a double second prize this time. It was tough choosing a second place winner between Ella and I because you guys sent in some cool designs. Thank you all for participating!
