jsfunction and
thyla87 founded a new icon challenge comm,
somein30 ! The first challenge was already plenty hard and so much fun! They got 30 sign-ups, omg. O_O So
the first challenge was to make between 5 and 20 icons for randomized technical prompts. There was a handy game board with your dice rolls marked, too! I extended mine to show the second round (for the last four icons) as well:
the twenty dice throws: 6 2 4 5 4 2 4 2 5 3 6 2 2 1 3 5 5 5 5 3
the colors stand for coloring (blue), crop (purple), texture (red), composition (yellow) and contrast/lighting (green).
At first I only wanted to make 15 icons (because I only needed 16 numbers to reach the finish line, but I had already made the table 5 wide and was too lazy to recode to 4x4). But then I decided that there were way too few of the red (texture) and purple (crop) prompts in my throws, so I wanted to fill it up with those. And lo and behold, the last four throws contained three red and two purple prompts. I took that as a sign and completed the set up to the full 20 icons.
I used hard mode, meaning I used the background and side color of each field on the board, but not the stars. The prompts were selected by the randomizer for icons 1-16, and selected by me for 17-20. All prompts used are listed in the table above each icon.
All of these are Zhu Yilong in various roles (except 11: Chen Minghao and 16: Bai Yu). Hover for fandom.
