Submit: Week 341
The themes for Week 341 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available here for your convenience.
Technical: Body Parts
( suggested by a few different members over the years)
Your icon must focus on one particular external body part of the featured character(s). You can achieve this by zooming in with close cropping, applying accent colouring or using text/resources to draw attention to the desired area, so long as it's clear what body part you've chosen. Don't be lazy and just do a general head/facial close-up though, pick a more specific spot... oh and remember to keep it PG-13(ish) ;P
Image: Tokyo Babylon
(featuring Hokuto & Subaru, plus a cat & penguin)
You must use this image and only the version given, don't try to find another one to substitute instead. You cannot include any additional outside imagery with the exception of textures, stock photography etc. added purely for decoration.

Lyrics: We Are Young
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following song. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &) and vice versa. You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible. Don't forget to proofread your entry.
We Are Young
Fun (feat. Janelle Monae)
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
[Chorus]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
[repeat]
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I,
I just thought maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a toast
Cause I found someone to carry me home
[Chorus]
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
[repeat]
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
[Chorus]
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight
