First things first...

I can't believe I'm finally done my 10x10variated claim!! Well I'm a little past the deadline, seeing as it's officially the 11th, but still! I seriously thought I would never finish! The effects and stock categories always give me trouble.

This is the third time I've done 10x10variated but only the second time I completed it. My first set for X-Men 3: The Last Stand is here, and the second set for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (which I didn't finish) can be found here :)

Aaaannd without further ado...

First Ten
Use only the original images, changing the color only and nothing else. Color each icon differently, using different color fill layers or adjustment layers.

I really like 5 and 10, I think they both turned out very nice. I like the crop on 1, but the coloring could be better.

Second Ten
Every icon must have readable text on it. As well, every icon must have a different font.

lol like, all of the text is rotated exactly the same on each icon. Original much? xD Even if it doesn't look like it, I guarantee all of those Times New Roman looking fonts are different, I just don't have my paper with me to prove it :( My favorite is 6 of course xP

Third Ten
Use a texture on every icon. A different texture must be used on each one.

I don't think I'm really thrilled with any of these except the Deathstrike one. And maybe the Wolverine one(7). Maybe.

Fourth Ten
Every icon must include a stock image. NO CLOUDS!

Pffft. All of these were rushed so bad, but I thought they were going to be a lot worse. I kind of really like 8, and I don't think I consider 3 as 'clouds'. It's more like...'sky'?

Fifth Ten
Rotate the images. This can be done any way, upside down, to the right, the left, caddy cornered, whatever.

Haha these are all rotated the same way XD I was running out of ideas! D: 2 is my favorite of the category, hands down.

Sixth Ten
Images must be black and white.

These came out the best, I think and they're a million times better than the B&W batch from my X3 claim. So I'm happy :)

Seventh Ten
On each icon, use one effect feature from the Effects menu in your Photoshop or Paintshop.

UGH. I HATE THIS CATEGORY. PERIOD. D: That said, I think they came out looking ok. Ehh...sort of. (Effects used: Film Grain, Gaussian Blur, Radial Blur, Color Halftone, Lens Flare, Patchwork, Mosaic, Facet, Lighting Effects, Wind)

Every icon must be less than 100x100 pixels.

LOL HALF-ASSED. The X-Men 3 ones are sooo much better.

Ninth Ten
Every icon must use one popular icon trend that is hot at the time.

I am in love with 6 SO BAD. Every time I get to this category I feel a little stumped as to what to do, but I think I did a pretty good job this time.

Free for all! Do whatever you want with these ten! :D

These are...eh. I really liked them when I made them, but I am becoming less and less impressed each time I look at them.

lol and here's the Wolverine manip as a bonus ;P


Despite my hate for the third movie, it was surprisingly easier to icon. There was a lot more going on and I think more variety in set location? I don't know, but I found myself wanting to use the SAME CAPS over and over and OVER again this time, and it was really driving me crazy! And I guess because I had more pictures for X-Men 3 because I was collecting them as the movie was being made and stuff. I wasn't that big of a fan when X2 was coming out.

Also, I'm not as proud of this as I am of the last one. I finished the last one in a couple weeks and it was a big step up for me, as far as icon making goes. It really helped to open up my options like it's supposed to, but I don't really feel as if I've made much improvement with this set.

And now some icons from kristenb_lims and a random pottersues.
