THEMES:
Everyone loves music, so to give you a little bit more inspiration, behind the name of theme there is a link to the youtube music video for particular theme. Also themes are named after the song, so you'll have many ways to interprate the theme/song :)
• Levels - This one's easy. Your icon need to have blocks/levels inside. The more creative, the better!

• I put a spell on you - In this one I want you to make 'magical' in the icon: some sparkles, drastic light, chiaroscuro, or have colorful mood like in a fairytale. Icons can contain only characters from fantasy world/non-human people.

CATEGORY: [5 icons]
SOME KIND OF HEAVEN - With the new year, we do a lot of promises, i.e. to make one of our dreams come true. In this 'dream' you can choose one of your fantasy world and icon the most characterisic features. I.e. I'd love to become a student od Professor Charles Xavier and become an X-Men. In this case I somehow feature their world.
In the icons we see the the inner fight of Eric/Magneto (couldn't fint the Eric/Charles fighting scene), also in these we see that the dark side of Magneto's winning. Then we see that before he got to know he's a mutant, he had dark thoughts about himself. Then his relationship between him and Raven. And at the end we see the light in the Quicksilver (icon and character).
So, obviously, you need to adjust the spirit of the fandom inside the icons: the colors, amount of textures, text, brushes, etc. It doesn't need to be chronogically.
