the Twins | Challenge Post
the Twins.
round ends: 09:59pm 20th June (UTC)
Quality - Positive: outwardly expressive, extrovert.
Element - Air: thought, intellect, ideas, interaction.
Mode - Mutable: the element in its most fluid form - associated with change and the dissemination of energy.
Body part - Shoulders, arms, hands Direction - East
Traditional definitions - Bi-corporeal - All the mutable signs are double-bodied - Gemini: two twins; Virgo: maiden and bird; Sagittarius: man and horse; Pisces: two fishes. They represent the months that join the seasons and signify a dualistic nature that is easily adaptable and can be one thing or another. For this reason the mutable signs are referred to as common signs in traditional terminology.
--- Please read our general rules
--- Remember entries must have minimum a value of 12 [icons are worth 1, wallpapers worth 4]
Choose ONE of the following challenge options. All graphics in your post must fit within that challenge. Furthermore, you must use only ONE fandom for your graphics, unless it is otherwise stated within the rules of the specific challenge. With that in mind, we do encourage multiple entries per person!
Regular Challenges:
#1 - All graphics must feature exactly 2 people.
#2 - Your graphics must be divided by warm & cool colours (either within each icon or within the set as a whole)
Warm colours are reds, oranges, yellows and browns or a combination of that, while cool colours are greens, blues, purples (see this diagram). You can either contrast these colours within each graphic (ex. by vetica, by daynawashere) or you can make half of your graphics warm-coloured, and half cool-coloured (ex. six red/orange icons, and six blue/purple icons)
#3 - All icons must feature exactly two different images/screencaps. This is a challenge of your blending/split screen skills!
#4 - The subject of your icons must be known for their cleverness [multi-fandom]
Ex. Hermione Granger, Sheldon Cooper, Sherlock. You MAY use images from multiple fandoms for this challenge.
Herculan Labour Challenges (extra tricky!):
#5 - Your graphics must juxtapose two characters of opposing nature, while also dividing them using contrasting warm and cool colours. The juxtaposition can occur within each graphic or within the set as a whole.[multi-fandom]
Examples of characters with opposing natures include Snow White & The Evil Queen, Damon & Stefan Salvatore, Harry Potter & Voldemort. See the description of Challenge #2 for more detail on warm and cool colours. So you could make a Harry&Voldemort icon where Harry Potter is red, and Voldemort is green. Another example could be if you made six icons of Snow White using cool colours and six icons of the Evil Queen using warm colours. Your entries may range across fandoms for this challenge.
#6 - All icons must feature exactly 2 fandoms. This is a crossover challenge. [multi-fandom]
If you choose to do so, you may do a different crossover for each icon. Ex. You could do two icons that are Doctor Who/BSG crossover, and one that is a Vampire Diaries/Harry Potter crossover, etc.
#7 - The subject of your icons must be known for their cleverness and you must reflect their brightness by using bright/light colouring [multi-fandom]
You may use multifandom images for this challenge.
