Round 06: Rules & Info

[immortalje]

Remember, sign ups are open all month long! If you want to join in, comment here and join the fun :D

Additionally, since I'm a day late with posting the prompts (I was just way too tired yesterday) I extended the round by that day!

This post contains all the information you need to enter your icons. Breaking the rules might lead to a disqualification for the next round.

Rules:

• Icons must be made originally for this challenge. No prior work may be submitted!
• All work must be your own, not someone elses!
• Make sure icons aren't adult in nature!
• Icons must fit the Dreanwidth standard: under 40 kb, 100x100px and in either .png, .gif, or .jpg file format.
• Post the finished icons at the same time to this community.
• When posting the finished 20, please leave a 3 icon preview. You are free to post them here (with a cut) or a direct link to the entry.
• Don't lock the icon post: The mods need to access them for posting the voting and others want to see them after all. (This doesn't apply when the icons are all posted to this community instead of your own journal/community)
• Don't submit your icons to this post!
• All entries are moderated: This means they'll be public once a mod approves them. The mod will also tag them at this time!
• You don't need to tag your entries! (But you're welcome to, if you want to do it :) )
• You may change/adjust the table as needed (or code it yourself) for as long as the prompts are still in relation to the icons (the same goes for switching between US/UK spelling and any other variations I'm not familiar with)
• Please use this guideline for the subject: Round# - Claim
• If possible, try to comment on everyone's post - they most likely would like comments as much as you do :)

Completed 20 are due on 21 April 2014 (Monday)

View the Participants

Prompts:

•10 Themes: close crop, eyes, faded*, grunge*, hair, hope, monotone*, no eyes*, last scene, plus one
•5 Category: one image*
•5 Artist's Choice

*faded: the colouring of the icon should look faded/pale
*monotone: the colouring of the icon should be monotone. That means it shouldn't use more than one colour (aside from black & white) for colouring it.
*no eyes: the eyes shouldn't be visible. This can be done by cropping, masking them or the character facing away.

*one image: all 5 icons should be made using the same image. You're free to colour, crop and arrange them as different as you want. Textures, text and other additions also go :)

I'm going to look for some examples after work today. If I forget, please remind me!

If you have any questions regarding any of the prompts, please feel free to ask in a comment to this post! :)

What do you mean by plus one, it means I will include another character in that icon?

[immortalje]

Yes, it means that aside from the character you claimed one other person should be in the icon. :)

[vanillasonata]

Person or character?

[immortalje]

Sorry for taking so long to reply - the weekend kept me pretty busy.

By person I meant character. Sorry for the confusion.

[lostdragonfound]

for "last scene"...

is that last scene the character appears in for one film or the last scene ever, within all of the films?

[immortalje]

Sorry, I probably should have clarified that. It should be the last scene of all films they're in.

[lostdragonfound]

okay, so here comes the next question...The last film Aragorn was in was Return of the King, right? I haven't actually seen the Hobbit yet and it's been more than a couple of decades since I've read the book, but as far as I can tell he's not in The Hobbit, right?

[immortalje]

As far as I remember, he wasn't in the Hobbit movies, so it should be Return of the King.

Either way, I would have said you could pick which movie was the last since it could be counted in two different ways. Either by the LotR/Hobbit time scale (which puts Return of the King as the "last" movie) or the order in which they were released (which would be Smaug's Desolation currently).

I hope that helps :)

[lostdragonfound]

Yes, that helps. Thank you :)

I had already picked a cap from the last scene from Return of the King,to use, just wanted to make sure that was going to work :)
