A comm I'd been meaning to do for a while, but it requires some randomization on my part, so I waited until I had time again. Let's do this!

This challenge was originally posted to [livejournal.com profile] guesswho20in20 in January 2015 here.

I added inspo icons from five participants who entered the original round for the four themes that had none (literati, neck, sitting, and co-star).

( Inspiration )




ORIGINAL CHALLENGE RULES (special rues for round 17) - for reference

» You will sign-up with your username and FOUR CELEBS you'd like to icon.
» Then the randomizer will choose which one you have to icon from the four you chose.

» YOU CAN USE ANY PHOTOS OF YOUR CELEB THAT YOU WISH TO - whether it be screencaps or stills from a movie or TV show they've been in, any photos of them in any character they've ever played, etc. You don't have to stick to just photo shoots <3

» Icons must be made for this challenge, and all work must be your own.
» Your icons CAN include nudity or swearing if you wish (R-Rated stuff is fine here), but please leave a warning at the top of your post so people can steer clear if they want :)
» Icons must fit the livejournal standard. under 40kb, 100x100px and in either .png, .gif or .jpg file format. NO animation allowed.




NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory

There are two ways to play this:

1) Choose four celebs (or more if you want) and I will randomize one of them for you to icon. I picked round 17 because it had the "choose your own celebs" special rule.
2) If you don't give me a list, you get two completely random celebrities, like all the other rounds at guesswho20in20 used to do. I've prepared a list (of Hollywood actors) which I'll go down.

-> you must sign up so I can randomize your celeb for you. comment below.
-> if you go with option 2, you get two celebs to choose from. Make icons from one of them, not both.

-> if someone would be so kind as to randomize my own list for me? Thank you, [personal profile] narnialover7.

-> you must enter at least one icon.
-> submit your icons as a new entry into the community. if there are more than five, put the rest under a cut or a link to your unlocked journal post. tag your post with round number and your username (or ask me to tag it for you).
-> submit the URLs along with your icons. I'll only put the first five per person into the roundup post. Either you only list five, or I'll take the first five.
-> make an effort to leave positive feedback on other participants' posts. <3
-> read the full rules here in our userinfo.




Each challenge will run for roundabout four weeks. There is no voting. I will make a roundup post containing up to 5 icons per person after every challenge. Challenges run roughly mid-month to mid-month every month.

Deadline for round #42: Friday, December 12th 2026 your end-of-day.

My theme was TV shows. I had ambitiously wanted to complete the table, lol, but I'm pretty happy with the ones I ended up making! :D I got a bit late but [personal profile] tinny graciously gave me permission to post!
A lot of shows start with 'The' so I decided to icon those without considering 'The' as part of the name. :D

There's one week left in our round #44, the icon alphabet, and we already have one entry with a full table! There's still time to start now: See the challenge post here.

If you've already started, remember that you don't have to have the whole table filled to be able to participate. If time runs out and X still has you stumped, post what you have.

The deadline is on Friday, November 13.

We're one week into the round, there are no entries posted yet. Think up a theme you want to stick to and make icons for each letter of the alphabet. See the challenge post here.

The deadline is on Friday, November 13.

Let's do something fun and easy! The [livejournal.com profile] icon_alphabet comm had no separate challenges, just one overarching theme:

Claim a topic and make an icon for every letter of the alphabet.




Challenge Rules for [livejournal.com profile] icon_alphabet




Icon Alphabet is an icon challenge community where members accept the challenge to create a set of 26 icons from their favourite movie, tv show, actor or actress. Each icon is centered around a theme that corresponds to a letter of the alphabet.




ORIGINAL CHALLENGE RULES - for reference

Rules:

  1. Check first. If your subject is already taken, request to be put on the waiting list.
  2. The only claims allowed are: characters within a tv show or movie, a tv show or movie in general, an actor, actress or other miscellaneous celebrity.
  3. If you decide to claim "Alias - General Series", make sure you have a mix of icons from more than just one season/episode.
  4. Please remember that proper names are filed under last name, first name.


FAQ:

Q: I did icons for Q, X, and Z first (you know, just to get them over with), do I have to post in order, or can I post whichever I've finished with?
A: Feel free to post in whichever order you've completed them, they don't have to be posted in alphabetical order. Just make sure you specify which letters you've completed!

Q: Can we use abstract concepts, as well as concrete items?
A: Definitely! If you feel that one icon you made really portrays, say, anger, you can use that as your A icon.




You can use this provided table if you like:






NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory

Consider the original challenge rules and try to stick to them in spirit. Think a bit about how difficult/easy it will be to make 26 icons for a given theme, how difficult you want to make the challenge for yourself, and choose accordingly.

There are four empty cells (27-30) at the end of the table, feel free to put non-latin characters in there (even emojis).

-> there is no official claiming here - you only have to be accountable to yourself. it doesn't matter if you icon the same thing someone else does.
-> claims rules are also not mandatory: you can claim anything, including "stock".
-> please only make one post this round, even if the original comm allowed you to post in batches.
-> you don't have to have the whole alphabet finished or in order, just post what you have by the end of the round.
-> list the themes you used along with the corresponding letter.
-> 1 icon minimum (no maximum).
-> submit your icons as a new entry into the community. if there are more than five, put the rest under a cut or a link to your unlocked journal post. tag your post with round number and your username (or ask me to tag it for you).
-> submit the URLs along with your icons. I'll only put the first five per person into the roundup post. Either you only list five, or I'll take the first five.
-> make an effort to leave positive feedback on other participants' posts. <3
-> read the full rules here in our userinfo.




Each challenge will run for roundabout four weeks. There is no voting. I will make a roundup post containing up to 5 icons per person after every challenge. Challenges run roughly mid-month to mid-month every month.

Deadline for round #44: Friday, November 13th 2026 your end-of-day.

Thank you to all our lovely participants! This time we had no trouble filling the calendar! I took the first five from everyone, and that was exactly enough for 30 days. Yay! \o/

( you take to the sky - this is our roundup post in calendar form: 30 icons by 6 makers! So pretty! )


Three of us made icons for the old calendar from 2023 as well, and I added those now, so that calendar is now also full! \o/
