On to the next challenge! It's from trope_overdosed, which has been requested a few times. I finally got around to asking the mods, and we have permission to use their challenges.
Don't get confused by the unusual wording of the post, trope_overdosed used a lot of special "trope-ified" terms. Check out the Glossary/Bait&Switch Credits for explanations.
This challenge was originally posted to
trope_overdosed in February 2012 here. Thank you so much to
_puchula_ for allowing us to use it!

( Beat Them At Their Own Game... )
ORIGINAL RULES - for reference only
-> You may submit as may icons for any of the themes as you like
-> Submissions are anonymous
NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory
Your icons must fit *one* of the three tropes mentioned above. They must either show an idealist, or the subject's head must be cut off, or the icon must have earthy (reddish-brown) coloring. I don't think the original challenge allowed for mixing the tropes, but I don't mind if you mix them and put more than one trope into one icon. Go wild!
-> yay a comm where you could submit as few or many icons as you wanted. No change here for a change! :) you may enter as many icons as you like. minimum 1 icon.
-> of course our submissions are not anonymous, as there will be no voting either.
-> 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 #30: Friday, September 19th 2025 your end-of-day
