Challenge 3--Round 3--Negative Space
Round 3, here we go! This is your last round to get a whole lot of points--next round we begin to cut the number of icons you can submit. So take advantage while you can if you want.
This week's goal was selected by one of our Round 1 winners, ksi_liv . Your mission is to great up to five great icons where you main subject(s), aka the characters, only occupies at most 1/3 of the icon's space. To refresh your basic geometry, you can determine the area of a space by multiplying base times height. So, if an icon is 100X100 pixels, it's total space is 10,000 square pixels. This means this week, you main subject can fill no more than 3,333 square pixels. So, if you are wondering anytime if you are taking up too much space, just multiply the width and length of you main subject area.
I think this could be really cool. So many icons focus on using as dedicating as much space to your main subject. By restricting you, I hope you get a lot of practice on filling up your empty space in a creative way while still making your small subject the main focal point. Good Luck!

5. If icons are used for future use and when posted elsewhere, please remember to credit the respective artist(s) for using her work as a base. You as icon makers know how much credit means to the artist--they put a lot of time and hard work creating these works just as you do.
