Submit: Week 270
The theme for Week 270 is Silent Letter. You may submit up to two different CLAMP icons that visually represent a word beginning with either the first or last letter in your username, so mine would be W or S, but without the use of text. That means no text whatsoever can appear on your icon, including: tinytext, decorative text and text that was already part of the image.
Your approach/interpretation can either be more literal (e.g. character, object) or symbolic (e.g. action, feeling) in nature as long as the meaning is clear enough, though you'll be providing a definition. If you submit two entries then you may either re-use the same letter or alternate between them, the main reason I'm giving you two options is to make things easier on members with more difficult letters in their names.
Check this (recently updated) post for a list of some CLAMP titles, as well as gallery links. And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for February's Submitter of the Month contest as well as a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.
Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon, url, series and character names (or object/location description instead, if applicable) along with your chosen letter and its meaning as this information will be appended to the voting post. Also include any additional information and/or specific resource credits that you may have used.
