Because our theme challenges haven't been exceedingly 'challenging', I thought it might be helpful to myself and fellow mods to see who and what you all would like to icon more. So I compiled a list of actresses who have been in at least one major epic (sometimes trilogies or several fandoms) and would like to see who you would all prefer to see more of (or at all!). So please choose your top five action-savvy ladies. Up next will be the gents!

PLEASE ONLY CHOOSE 5!

Also, this is your last minute reminder! You have less than 24 hours to enter Challenge 38! We have six lovely entries, but more are always appreciated. Thanks folks.

CHALLENGE 38

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 05:01:12 GMT

challenge 38
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

REGULAR CHALLENGE:
Here are the basics for this challenge:

• You must enter five (5) icons.
• Your images must be from one of Disney's three Pirates of the Caribbean films, official images from the ride, official images from the online game, and any promos related (books & CDs included).
• Feel free to use any images (seen below in the examples) that have already been used.
• Add graphics/textures/brushes, etc.
• Animation (as per usual) is not allowed.
• IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE COMMENT AND ASK. I don't bite. Hard.
• Our resources have a handful of POTC sites. Other places to gather images are actor fansite galleries (Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightley, etc.) or from screencaps - dj_capslock and the like.
• Interested parties will be delighted in this related news. POTC 4 has been confirmed.
• ENTRIES ARE DUE BY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5TH BY 11:59PM.

set of five• SMALL, INSET PICTURE(S) WITH A FRAME AROUND THEM
The icon can include several images. Or just one, or just two. It all depends on how you build it. You can use a 100x100 size image, and place a small image someplace atop it. Or you can use a background/texture and place one or more images atop it, etc. It's up to you. This does not mean, however, that a 100x100 icon should have a LITERAL frame texture around its border. Picture frame textures, etc, can be used as smaller elements within the icon, however.

• ONE ICON MUST HAVE BLENDED IMAGES
In this icon, there should be two or more images that have been blended together. You can either physically blend them [ex #1] or you may crop two images and place them within the same icon [ex #2].

• ONE ICON MUST HAVE NO TEXT
This icon should be text free [tiny, illegible text is fine, however].

• ONE ICON MUST HAVE EVERYTHING BUT ONE OBJECT OR COLOR DESATURATED
An icon where all but one thing [person, book, eyes, etc] or one color [red, blue, etc] in an icon is black & white.

• YOUR FIFTH ICON IS ARTIST'S CHOICE
This icon can be whatever you'd like, within the challenge theme, so be creative. You can use any or none of the themes above for this icon. Surprise me!

ALTERED & BORROWED FROM 10variations
