Round 05; Challenge "01"
TOURNAMENT ; RD. 05 - CHALLENGE "01"
You can enter the challenge if your name is listed in this bracket. (Do feel free to make an icon even if you're not signed up!)
I rewrote this a bunch of times. I sincerely hope you guys enjoy this challenge. I wish you all the best of luck, have fun! The results of the prelims are here btw!
ROUND ONE, START!It's time to get this show on the road. You all know how dodgeball works, right? If not here's a wiki about the sport. Since we can't actually play dodgeball we're going to instead apply some of the concepts of the game to this round. Since I'm the referee I'll be providing you with the dodgeballs (resources) to use in this game. You will use them (resources + you = icon) to hit your opponents and eliminate (aka win your bracket via voting) them. I hope this makes sense! I feel like I'm making a mess of things. This round's rules are over here if you need some clarification.
For this challenge I'm providing you with 5 dodgeballs (resources) and you will use them in whatever way you want to make your icon. You can make your icon with one or all five of these resources. You are not required to use them all but you must use at least one of them. The stronger your icon is the better chance you have of continuing to the next challenge so choose wisely. The following are the five resources:
DODGEBALL #1: TECHNICAL
First option is a technical one. The technical theme is no eyes. If you choose this option you'll need to cover your subject's eyes in whatever way you want to. You can choose to use a close crop, place text or a texture over their eyes, pick an image where the subject's facing backward, crop in a way you can't see their eyes, etc. The possibilities are endless. Some examples of no eyes:
dashberlin / regis / pamkips / nottiem / phaust_
Use your imagination on the 4th one. The doctor is eyeless.
DODGEBALL #2: INSPIRATION
If you choose this option you'll need to use these icons as inspiration. How you get inspired by them is totally up to you. You can choose to be inspired by little things each icon has or just the icon in general. This is a free-for-all.
filmowe / astrokittie / ieatstickers / lazuli_reikou / milkfed
DODGEBALL #3: TEXTURES
If you choose this resource option you'll need to use any of the following 2 (or more) textures in your icon. How you use them is entirely up to you. If it's hard to tell how you used them please do tell me. Right click the 4th texture for it's full-size.
tihana / drankmywar / lookslikerain / wicked-fate / innocent_lexys
DODGEBALL #4: FONT
If you choose this option you'll need to use the font below in your icon. How you use it is entirely up to you but all I ask is that it's visible. CLick the font to take you to the font's download page. Get creative!
DODGEBALL #5: COLOR PALETTE
For the last resource we have this color palette. If you use this option you'll need to use the following colors in your icon in whatever way you see fit. I do ask that you use at least 3 of the 5 colors provided if you do decide to use it.
I hope these work for you guys! Remember pick wisely and make the best icon you can! That's it! I wish you the best of luck!
