Round six has to do with six-sided dice, and there are six boxes with inspiration!
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
. If you used to mod an icon comm on lj (or dw) and would like to give us permission, please let me know.
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!
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. The general plan is to go from mid-month to mid-month every month.
