Lol I was supposed to post this last Monday but I got really distracted this week. Plus I watched a bunch of things I shouldn't have. Like this morning I was watching the BBC real doll doc, OMG I WAS LIKE O___O Here's your first challenge, I posted something semi-easy so I wouldn't discourage you LOL THAT'LL BE LATER. Also idk why there's a huge space there, tbh I don't feel like figuring it out. I messed up the html on this thing on 4 different occasions. :/ I am so caffeinated that I can't focus rn. I also can't believe I've been working on this for 4+ hours. :/
"Light Blob of Doom"
In b4 you're disappointed. So for the first challenge you'll have to icon the light blob that was oh so popular in 2007/2008. (?) If you remember the trend went along with scratch textures hey I researched & like 75%+ icons had them together so along with the light blob you must use scratch textures. The light blob effect can be achieved, in case you didn't know, with a soft round brush then set so screen, lighten, soft light, etc. (In case you're using PS) If you do need suggestions for light blob textures I have provided some, along with some scratch textures. You don't have to use these, these are just suggestions to get you started.
Light blob textures
I bulshitted these. Lol I saved the wrong one for the 3rd one, but you get the idea.

FAQ:
HOW NEAT A FAQ, THAT'S A FIRST. Since I screened all the comments, I decided to just make a faq of all the questions that have been asked so far. So check here first to see any worries/questions can be resolved. If not, ask me in a comment & I will answer you~
① We must put light blob and scratch texture together, make them pretty and ugly for the bonus ??
Yeah pretty much, you have to use both textures together & use them in any way you sit fit. Yep pretty for the main part & if you want to, ugly for the bonus.
② Does our light blob of doom have to be a spherical blob or can it be kind of... blobby?
Sure, it can be blobby. As long it's a light blob, anything goes.
③ Does the BoD have to be a colored one or can it be white? And it can be blobby instead of circular, but does it have to look like a blob?
Anyone of those can work. As long as it's the blob of death. That depends, I think as long as it's identifiable, it works.
④ Can it look smoke-like?
I had to think about this one for a bit, I'm on the yes/no side. Yes, because obv I know you'd use it accordance w/ the challenge (wth am I writing?) but at the same time no bc it's more of a smoke type of thing instead of a blob-ish texture. I really did think about it, but I'll say yes. Just use it with accordance to the challenge guidelines.
⑤ Are we limited to just using one blob of doom or can we use more than one?
Use more than one if you want to, I approve & don't mind.SUBMITTED SO FAR:
MAIN: 29 / 36
BONUS: 21
Also you can change your entry at any time, just as long as voting hasn't gone up. Delete your original comment & tell me you're resubmitting. I tend to upload the icons to the animanlims album early on. Questions about the challenge? Ask 'em.
I'm having too much fun with this.
