Fort this special round we're gonna do something different and more challenging!
First of all, you'll have to make icons for 20 themes, so no categories and artist's choices this time! Moreover, you have to choose 20 of the 40 subthemes (so you'll have plenty of choices!) and add them to the main themes.
Every subtheme can be chosed one time only and you have to choose only one subtheme per main category.
So for example, you pick the first one theme, Accessory, and combine one subtheme, i.e. Pink, and you'll have to make Accessory + Pink.
Here you are some examples for being clearer.
floating + stock texture | vibrant + close crop | obscure crop + hands | frame + favourite photoshoot | negative space + floral
dixon | laurels | setentpet | starry_night | xafirah
Votings will be arranged for main categories. Don't forget to add your subthemes to the table.
As there are many themes to put examples of, I've explained only the more obscure ones. Anyway if you have any questions about this challenge and themes, just comment here and I'll explain it better!
Hope everything it's clear!
P.S. Thank you so much for all your theme suggestions in the past rounds! As you can see, I have used many of them!
