triwizard tournament: the third task
The original Triwizard Tournament tasks were inspired by the nature's four elements and so will be ours.
The Third Task was to navigate a maze grown on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch. The maze was populated by various obstacles and dangers that each Champion had to overcome. The first Champion to successfully navigate the maze and reach the Cup would be declared the winner. The maze represents the Earth element.

a maze is a complex system of paths or tunnels in which it is easy to get lost. complex. that's right your task is to make a complex icon :) you can use blocking, blending, textures, it's up to you

iii. THE FINAL BATTLE
as you might have guessed our final challenge will be a battle. 18 Champions have submitted caps and each was randomly assigned to a partner (so there are 9 pairs). your task is to make 2 icons for the battle: one from your own cap and one from your partner's. the voting will decide a winner for each battle and 3 best icons overall. if one of the duelists doesn't submit icons for the battle, the other will automatically become the winner.
I'll start sending out PMs with caps in a few :)
[ϟ the rules ϟ]
ϟ each Champion is supposed to stand alone during the Tournament, receiving no outside help from anyone.
ϟ you can enter 1 icon for each part of the task, 2 icons max. in total and 2 more if you have submitted a cap for the battle and received a PM. you can choose to enter only one icon or two. mind that you get points for entering icons!
ϟ submit your icon(s) + their direct urls in a comment to this post. NOTE: since lj has a very strange anti-spam policy right now, you can submit urls with spaces if you're worried about getting suspended.
ϟ do NOT post icons made for the Tournament anywhere until it has finished and do NOT reveal your username/alias.
ϟ deadline: SATURDAY JULY 6 (COUNTDOWN)
