Round #06 - 20muses - challenge 02 "Roll the Dice"

[tinny]

Round six has to do with six-sided dice, and there are six boxes with inspiration!

This challenge was originally posted to 20muses in February 2012 here .

I've contacted a couple more mods this month, but I still have about 150 comms left to go through (and still I haven't received any answers from LJ mods so far). All the comms we currently have permission for are listed in the masterlist here. If you used to mod an icon comm on lj (or dw) and would like to give us permission, please let me know.

Challenge Post by akilah92


The sign-up post will be open until the end of the round (february 20th September 15).

02. roll the dice: I'm pretty sure everyone in their lives have played a board game, those with a dice!
This round works like those games; we have a maxi-board and 6 inspirational/technical boxes!
I'll give to each one of you 20 dice rolls and you have to "play", following the board's directions!

I'm not sure how to explain this, so I'll make an example:
first dice roll: 5 >  (number5) box #6: pick a song (you have to make an icon inspired by one of the songs in the box #6; the choice is up to you)
second dice roll: 3 > (number 8) box#5: technical theme (you have to make an icon with a technical theme suggested in the box #5; the choice is up to you)
third dice roll: 2 > (number 10) box #6: pick a word (you have to make an icon inspired by one of the words in the box #6; the choice is up to you)

To make things a little more spicy we have 2 ways to play this game!

easy mode: when making your icons you have to pick only a thing (a song, a color, a theme, a word, a texture, an art) [you can't pick the same thing more than one time]
hard mode: when making your icons you have to pick two things ( 2 songs , 2 colors, 2 themes, 2 words, 2 textures, 2 arts) [you can't pick the same combination more than one time]

dice rolls for everyone

RETRO_ICONTEST RULES

This round needs a sign-up, because I need to make the dice rolls for you!

Please comment to this post and let me know that you want to play, and I'll generate 20 dice rolls for you.

-> you need not adhere to the "claim" rules, your icons may be multifandom, stock, etc.
-> you may enter up to 20 icons as defined by your dice rolls. minimum 1 icon.
-> if you don't want to make all 20 icons, you still have to start from the beginning - i.e. you may not skip any rolls.
-> i checked most but not all of the youtube links for the inspiration songs. If you find dead links, please try to search them yourselves by artist and title.

-> 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.
-> If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer them!

[littlemissnovella]

Awesome! Quick question for hard mode - can I combine texture and technique or it has to be two of textures, (etc) for it?

[tinny]

You have to choose two things from every square. So if the square is texture, you have to choose two textures, and if the square is technique, you have to combine two techniques.

[littlemissnovella]

Thank you!

[magicrubbish]

May I have an extention of time for a few days ? I've barely started on this, life was really hectic this past month.

[tinny]

How many days do you think you'll need? I don't want to deviate too much from my mid-month to mid-month schedule, but a few days should not be a problem. Is Monday okay?

[magicrubbish]

Saturday will be fine. I've only made 9 icons so far. I wanted to make atleast 15. ;( I just need another day. :D Thank you so much.

[tinny]

Okay, no problem at all, Saturday it is! <3

Thank you for letting me know!

[magicrubbish]

Thank you so much. I've hot my 15 icons ready . Tomorrow I'll assemble the post with the theme explanation and stuff .

[goodbyebird]
