The poll I posted yesterday has 6 participants so far, feel free to vote if you haven't yet. One of the most-voted-for comms was
the7days, so I went through and tried to pick a challenge from there for our next round. That comm is a treasure trove of ideas, and there were too many good ones, so I did something weird and chose two different challenge posts at once. A thematic one and a technical one which you can mix and match! I hope you like the idea.
These challenges were originally posted to
the7days in April 2013 here and in December 2018 here . Many thanks to
naginis for allowing us to use them!

Icon the last 7 tv shows or movies you watched. You can mix it up with both movies and tv shows if you want.
And you don't have to icon the exact episodes you saw, as long as it's from the same show, it's good. :)
Random icons for inspiration

rebel | appleindecay | mm3butterfly | poisonfield

For this challenge, you have to showcase your subject (doesn't have to be the same one) from angles:

left
right
back

The 7th one is your choice :)

ORIGINAL RULES - for reference only
» you can use any fandom you want
» you have to post seven icons fitting the theme
» your icons must be new, made specifically for this community
» your icons must fit lj standards
» you may change your icons whenever you want before the deadline
NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory
Consider the original challenge rules and try to stick to them in spirit. My idea for the double challenge is to mix them both: icon the last seven shows/movies, and pick a different angle for each icon. But if you only want to do one of the challenges, that's also okay.
-> you can enter more than seven icons, and thus icon more than seven shows/movies, but you can also icon the same show/movie more than once - your choice!
-> the same with the angles. you can go strict and only use each angle once... or not. :) there were only six angles in the original post, anyway. let's improvise. :)
-> you may enter as many icons as you like. 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 containingup to 5 icons per person after every challenge. In this case seven icons per person!
Deadline for round #23: Friday, February 14th 2025 your end-of-day - which means this is a five-week round.
