Questions, Commments, Concerns....

[chocolatefrogs]

Ask or say here!

Re: Questions, Commments, Concerns....

[picnicnic]

do all icons have to show both characters? If so, do we have to pick just one ship or can we claim a show and icon ships from it?

Re: Questions, Commments, Concerns....

[chocolatefrogs]

Hi, nope not all. Thank you for reminding me, forgot to add that. That also works as well, did not think of that one. :)

Re: Questions, Commments, Concerns....

[chocolatefrogs]

Added those two the guidelines.

And btw, love the Mira icon! Just got into the show, and did a large Rumi batch in my community. Going to work on more characters. She's my second fave, so def going to do a batch of her.

Re: Questions, Commments, Concerns....

[picnicnic]

Awesome, thank you!

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie!

Welcome to the community! Thank you for joining.
Added with your first choice, thank you for the suggestions and signing up. :)

Start to finish, do you mean of them meeting to end? I'm currently doing my signups with prompts and got a similar one like that called 'our story' (start to end). You just beat me to posting claims lol.

[sarajayechan]

Start to finish, do you mean of them meeting to end?

Yes.

[chocolatefrogs]

Thank you. Also forgot to ask, do you have any examples for Color Contrasts?

[sarajayechan]

Basically this, either canonically contrasting or the icon colorized in that way (one half red, one half green, for example).

[chocolatefrogs]

So it's complementary colors?

[sarajayechan]

Yes, lol. Call it that, I dunno why I went with contrasting as the term!

[chocolatefrogs]

K, lol. I was so confused without examples and was trying to find it in past lj comms and coming up empty handed.

[chocolatefrogs]

I'll just call it complementary colors since that's the definition you sent me on the link. If you are okay with that?

[sarajayechan]

Yes! That's fine!

Second Choice: Harry Potter/Hermione Granger
Suggestions (optional): Little Box, Floating, Badass, Last Moment Shared, Hold Me, Cursive Writing, Stolen Claim, Ships20in20, Four Blocks, Blending, Kiss, Reunited, Green, Complex, Eye Sex, One Word, Red/Black, Almost Kiss, Fave Moment, B&W Icon + Color Text, Heated, Vintage, Frame, Recoloring, Special Blend, Uneven Blocking, Text Box, Emphasis Word, Paint Splatters, Lying Down, Object Shape, Text Shadow, Complex, Sad, Gradient Background, Fully Bodies.

Category Set: Our Story - From beginning to end, capture your couple's journey into 5 icons! If they never became a couple, you can still do the same.

Where you will post your icons: sweettreats

Little Box - Your icon has to show a box over a main image. It can be placed horizontally, vertically, etc as long as it's just one box.
Last Moment Shared - Icon their very last moment/scene together. If your fandom is still ongoing, then simply icon their last scene up until now.
Ships20in20 - We need a community icon! Choose your couple (any couple!) and make sure 'ships20in20' is included and fully visible in your icon!
Eye Sex - Show your couple looking into each other's eyes in a sexy, flirty lusty way.
B&W Icon + Color Text - Pretty self explanatory :) Your icon has to be all black & white, with some colored text included. The text can be any color or any size, as long as it's visible. Your couple and it's background MUST be strictly black and white, only the text can have color.
Special Blend - Blend your subject with any image that isn't a character. Keep in mind the blending.
Uneven Blocking - Use blocking, but not with the usual clean, sharp lines - the block lines here need to be a bit messy and irregular.
Text Box - Use text that is at least partly inside a block/box/bar/another shape.
Emphasis Word - Use text with most of the words in one main font, but put emphasis on just ONE word by using a different font on it.
Monochrome Mix - Combine at least two differently monochromatic images so that the resulting icon is not monochromatic as a whole.
Object Shape - The subject in this icon should be inside a block that is not a regularly shaped geometric block, but the recognizable shape of some thing/object.
Text Shadow - A good way to make sure your text is readable against any background is to use a small text outline/shadow. Do this in at least some of the text in your icon!
