Good luck to everybody, can't wait to see what you come up with.

TABLE:
ORIGINAL RULES - for reference only
BASIC CONCEPT: You have 20 days to make 20 icons of your characters from any media. (10 theme, 5 category, 5 artist's choice)
» You must choose one character to make 20 icons with.
» You can pick a character even if they've already been claimed or even if you picked them in the previous round.
» You can only enter once, using one character per month. (No couples. No bands, just a character sorry.)
» PLEASE try to comment on everyone's entries and leave them positive feedback.
» Icons must be made originally for this challenge, no prior work may be submitted.
» All work must be your own, not someone else's.
» Please make sure all images are PG-13(ish) RATED. Meaning no depiction of violence or either genders 'bits' visible. If you're unsure, just ask. Nothing gratuitous basically. BUT if you're not sure, just ask. :)
» Animation is allowed as long as it fits the above standards.
NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory
Consider the original challenge rules and try to stick to them in spirit.
You have to stick to the comm's premise, i.e. choose a fictional character and make all your icons of that same character (rule bolded above), and to the round's 20 themes.
You can use the provided table from the original challenge (see above textarea) but you don't have to. If you don't make all 20 icons, please mention which themes you filled.
The original challenge required exactly one icon per theme. Here, you can pick and choose and even make more than one per theme if a theme especially inspires you.
-> you may enter up to 20 icons as specified by the challenge themes. minimum 1 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.
This comm generally runs from mid-month to mid-month every month, always ending on Fridays. There is no voting. I will make a roundup post containing up to 5 icons per person after every challenge.
Deadline for round #12: Friday, March 15th 2024 your end-of-day
