It's now or never, and it's gonna be now. Xeno Lims will continue this Tuesday! :D

Alright, so it's the end of the year, finals are coming up, everyone has a million things to get done, including me. I'm going to put xeno_lims on hold until the end of the school year. Anyone who has submitted an icon already can show it off if they'd like, because it sucks having an icon stuck in a contest, and it would be nice but not required for them to make a new one when this comes off hold.

Reminder to....everyone but zebulunn. Your icons are due in by midnight tomorrow unless you're using your skip.

Theme: DIY
I swear, next time it won't be a technical challenge! But for this one, you may use NO OUTSIDE RESOURCES. Except an image. Everything else has to be made by you. That means no using dearest's pretty patterns or twisted_fruite's textures.

And that was definatly not me pimping my favorite resource makers. >.>

Theme: Tutorial-tastic! :DDD
To start us off, here's an easy challenge. Find a full icon tutorial, NOT ONE YOU'VE WRITTEN, and follow it virtually step by step. Choose your own base/image(s), but then only change little things like placements, opacitys, colors, etc. It should still be in the same style of the icon the tutorial made. The challenge will be making it your own. Good luck!

Also, please post a link to the tutorial you followed. It can be on or off LJ.
