Info
• You must be a member and have signed up for this round to participate.
• All icons must be newly made for this round. Do not use previously made icons.
• You are allowed to use pictures containing nudity and graphics imagery. Just keep those behind you're LJ-Cut tag.
• If you would like a participation banner make sure you wrote it outside lj cuts/links.
• Please do not post your icon set to Photobucket or tinypic, use other free image hosting sites at this time while that site is going through what it is doing. Chances are your images will not show at all if you do. I do however recommend: Cloudinary (similar to photobucket), Imgur, Imgbb & any others you can think of that work well.
Posting
• Post only once your set is completed. Do not submit your icons to this post, instead make a post of your own using the guidelines below.
• Your icons must fit DW standards and be made specifically for this round. 100x100px and either .png, .gif or .jpg file format.
• Provide three (3) teaser icons and hide the rest behind an lj-cut, or provide a link to your icons should you post them elsewhere. If posting to an outside source your icons should be made public for the duration of the round.
• Please, if you participate try to at least check out the other participants entries. It's another reason why we have an unlocked rule. You would want people to check out yours and vice versa, it's only fair.
• Fan art is not accepted; use caution when choosing images. DO NOT USE BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOS, unless the theme calls for it. You may however use Episode Still and Promos. Animation is NOT allowed, unless otherwise stated for a certain prompt.
• Use the table provided or use your own if you'd like, but keep the themes in order.
• DO NOT ADD TAGS TO YOUR ENTRIES. A MOD WILL DO THAT.
• Posting is moderated; once your post is submitted please await approval. If your post hasn’t been approved within 48 hours please contact me or comment to this post.
• Please add the following subject, just add your username. FORMAT AS: Round 09 - Your Claim - Your Username.
Please tell your friends and promote Round 09!
As always thank you for the suggestions, I used some for this round.
Themes
Complete 10 themes, 5 category, and 5 artist choice icons.
Individual themes:
| Floating | Summer | Covered in Text | Target | Far & Vibrant |
| Hidden and Obscured | Hot & Cold | Vibrant Grunge | Framed Inside | Out of The Picture |
EXAMPLES
Floating - For this icon there should be nothing but space around your character.
lemonzter • afeastforme • scarred_loretta
Summer - Your icon should be of your character enjoying Summer. How you achieve this is up to you.
themeparks • themeparks • themeparks
Covered in Text - The subject of your icon needs to be covered in text - it doesn't have to be readable
neatmonster • wickdshy • tinebrella
Target - Your icon must contain a target texture of some kind.
SIETEPECADOS • juanxyo • jsfunction
Target Texture Samples Remember, google and https://deviantart.com/ are you're friends!
Soaked (LJ) • Soaked (LJ) • Soaked (LJ) Soaked (LJ) • Soaked (LJ) • Soaked (LJ) • Unknown (If you know who made them, please let me know!) • Unknown (If you know who made them, please let me know!)
Far & Vibrant - Your icon must have a far away crop as well as vibrant coloring.
starkwars • mm3butterfly • nadya149
Hidden and Obscured - "Faceless crop" (the face must be in the icon), but the object must be partially hidden behind something or obscured by textures.
BRONZE • DETERNOT • DIXON
Hot & Cold - Your icon should combine warm colors (the yellows and reds of the color spectrum, associated with fire, heat, sun, and warmer temperatures) and cool colors (the blues and greens of the color spectrum, associated with water, sky, ice, and cooler temperatures).
WELLHALESBELLS • adriftingsea • freevo
Vibrant Grunge - Your icon has to have a grungy look to it as well as be vibrantly colored.
ORANGELUSIK • SECOND_LOVE • JSFUNCTION
Framed Inside - Your claim must be inside a frame.
ADRIFTINGSEA • ALISEA_DREAM • APPLEPIPS16
Out of The Picture - Close crop with the subject cropped out of the icon in some part.
daaydreamer • wickdshy • kitamikeita
Category Set - Extreme Facial Close Crop + Black & White - When I say extreme crop, I mean extreme. Your character's face should take up the majority of the icon and be entirely black and white. If you want to use a cap with your character and someone else then their faces must take up the majority of the icon. Or you can get creative like the first example, where John's face takes up the entire icon space with Sherlock added in on top. As long as someone's face is the entire icon it should be fine. (Snagged from character20n20 on LJ, thought this would be fun to try. I get so many promt ideas from that community since it's not active anymore!)
FOUROUX • LIVEFOX • LONGERTHANWEDO • SIETEPECADOS • RAIINDUST
Artist’s Choice: Your choice so long as it abides by the rules!
TABLE:
If there are any mistakes anywhere, please do not hesitate to let me know. Enjoy the round, can't wait to see everyone's sets. :)
