round 22 themes
ROUND RULES:
» Icons must be made originally for this challenge, no prior work may be submitted.
» All work must be your own, not someone else's. Stealing is not cool D:
» Your icons CAN include nudity or swearing if you wish, but please leave a warning at the top of your post so people can steer clear if they want :)
» Icons must fit the livejournal standard. under 40kb, 100x100px and in either .png, .gif or .jpg file format.
» Animation is NOT allowed.
» When posting the finished 20 please leave 3 icon teasers examples and a link to the icon post or lj-cut.
» Don't submit your icons to this post.
» The icon post must be unlocked.
» All entries are moderated which means that we have to accept the entry before it's made visible to the public.
» Please use the provided table to post your icons for convenience.
» Put on title of your post: Round 22 - "YOUR CLAIM"
» Do not add your own tags, I’ll do it for you.
» Claim/Sign Up list Here - SIGN-UPS WILL REMAIN OPEN THE ENTIRE ROUND.
» All 20 icons are due on April 8th
Please note that both characters of your couple DO NOT have to be in every icon together, but try to include both people in at least 13/20 of your icons. Otherwise it wouldn't be much fun ;)
ALL THEMES ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO YOUR OWN INTERPRETATION. I'm well aware that not every couple/claim has experienced the same things, so if you can't find any image/scene suited for one of the themes, feel free to think outside the box! For example, if 'Kiss' was the theme, and your couple has never had the pleasure, feel free to icon them close together as if wanting to kiss, or use text like 'I want to kiss you,' or song lyrics with the word kiss in them. It's all up to you! Have fun and be creative :)
And thanks to the members for their lovely themes suggestions, I used a couple of 'em :)
