YOU CAN USE ANY PHOTOS OF YOUR CELEB THAT YOU WISH TO - whether it be screencaps or stills from a movie or TV show they've been in, any photos of them in any character they've ever played, etc. You don't have to stick to just photo shoots <3 And remember that you can make an ENTIRE SET of your celeb IN CHARACTER, if you so wish to do so.
PLEASE TRY TO COMMENT ON EVERYONE'S ENTRIES and leave them positive feedback - it really only takes a few second to tell someone they did a good job :)
ALL THEMES ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO YOUR OWN INTERPRETATION. Have fun and be creative <3
THEMES/PROMPTS
1. Vertical Slats: Your icon must contain a minimum of at least *3* vertical slats, more if you wish to do so. They can be of any size, and of any images/textures you want. Composition is up to you :) Here are some gorgeous icons to gain inspiration from:
(charmingthrone - distractiions - ennasky - lemonrocket - pelinsi)
(schryosel - spg_spn_girls - taxcha - twistedmind - vetica)
2. Lace: Your icon must have some form of lace in it. Your celeb could be wearing it, you could use a lacey texture as a background or set it to screen/overlay as a design element, etc. As long as we can see it, it's all good :) Some more lovely icons to gaze at:
(blondeboy69 - caramelapples - hauntes - la_flor_viva - novindalf)
3. Brown: This one's simple :) The main color of your icon has to be brown - any shade, as light or as dark, as you prefer!
(deadama - juanxyo - longerthanwedo - naginis x2)
(partitioning - thyla87 - tiptoetwirl - tturners - vetica)
4. Texture Crazy: You have to use at least *2* different and visible textures in your icon (but are encouraged to use more!) Whether it be lighting, text, design elements, etc. Challenge yourself to play around with different textures and share what you come up with :) Gorgeous inspiration icons are gorgeous:
(afeastforme - elli - fassy - gallicka - lemonzter)
(naginis x2 - stormfronticons - the_silverdoe - theotherayn)
5. Lighthearted: Icon a moment of your celeb being cheerful and carefree! Having fun, smiling, in good spirits, etc. The opposite of serious!
6. Repetitive Pattern: Your icon must include some type of cutesy pattern that repeats itself :)
(black_bird80 - danseur_lion - fassy x2 - hipokras)
(paperdreamss - schryosel - sucksucksmile - tturners x2)
7. From Behind Solid Background: You must combine two techniques in this icon - a 'from behind' shot of your celeb, and a solid colored background. Inspiration galore continues below :)
(bangel_4e - beautdisastr - bunnyicons - crucified - dixon)
(kimcullen - lady_turner - lemonzter - paperdreamss - watching_ghosts)
8. Overwhelming Light: Your icon has to have some type of overwhelming light source within it. The lighting should be a large element in the composition of your icon, and should stand out. Some beautiful icons below to help explain what I mean:
(glimpse_a - burntheflaws - ennasky - crazy_cordy - jsfunction)
(lancelotfan - naginis - orangelusik - tturners - violateraindrop)
9. Gritty: This is up to your interpretation! Icon anything you deem 'gritty' - your celeb crying, make-up smudged, dirty, a raw vulnerable look, use scratch or grunge textures, dark colors, etc.
10. Stewark Provided Texture: When you signed up with your number, there was also a random texture (made by the amazing Stewark) under that number along with your celebs - you must each use your provided one to make an icon with :) Here are the assigned textures, simply click on your name:

Category Set - Close Up, B&W, Fade Away. All of your icons must be close crops, and all of your icons must be black & white - BUT, your set of icons must start a pale shade of white, then gradually become darker until your last icon is almost filled with black. Here is a set of 5 amazing icons in order to show the progression I mean:
(fassy - tturners - dreaminggame - tturners - setentpet)
