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 00 - Your Claim - Your Username.
As always thank you for the suggestions, I used some for this round.

Painted Hair - You must put streaks of color into your characters hair. They should look as if they were painted in and must be visible.

Profile Text - Your character must be clearly placed in profile and also incorporate text on it in any way you want.

Lavender - Your icon's main color must be in lavender.



violateraindrop • tturners • sietepecados
Symbol - You must feature something that represents your character in the icon. It doesn't has to be an actual symbol, it can be anything that your character is known for, whether is an actual symbol or a personality trait.



schryosel • scoobyatemysnax • neatmonster
Face Block - Somehow icon your character with their face blocked out in someway. Either through shading, blurring, silhouette, textures, etc. You should not be able to see the majority of their face BUT their face must be present, just blocked out somehow. So that means you can't just crop their face out of the icon or do an icon from behind.



24_amends • youwatchusrun • wildpages
Video Inspiration - Make an icon by getting inspired by the video below. You can be inspired by the lyrics, emotions, coloring, style, etc.
Video - Pentatonix - Prayers For This World



kidcrochet • themeparks • themeparks
Category Set - Increased Blocking - Each icon must increase by 1 block and only 1 block. So, your first icon should just be a normal 1 block icon, the 2nd icon should have 2 blocks to it, the 3rd should have 3 and so on.
