Challenge 3--Round 5--Doppelgängers
We're already to Round 5--half-way through! Whew! I hope you guys are having fun thus far and learning a lot.
There were so many good suggestions this week I wish it was a double round week. Alas, I could only pick one, so I hope these ideas pop up again. This week, magick_mel had a very creative idea--make icons that incorporate both the animated versions of Twilight characters and their real-life doppelgängers! For example, you could make an icon that featured an illustration of Emmett and Kellan Lutz who portrays him in the movie.
Also, while it's not really an example of a doppelgänger, I'd allow you to feature a live action version of one character interacting with an artwork version of a different character, or vice versa. In other words, you could have Robert Pattinson in the meadow hanging out with a hand-drawn Bella.
I'll readily admit this is a really hard task. I expect a low turnout, but I would love you all to push yourself and try something new. If whole movies can be made featuring animated characters interacting with live action stars (shut up, you know Roger Rabbit is the coolest movie) or if Enchanted can be a hit, certainly creating icons in the same vein and spirit can be accomplished. I think this could result in some great, interesting, and possibly funny outcomes. Seriously, Rob getting his butt kicked by an animated James, Jake, or Victoria? That's funny.
Good luck everyone!

Round 5 Rules:
1. Makers must choose any of the Twilight artwork from as many artists listed in the Resource Gallery to create up to THREE (3) icons.
2. Each icon must be derived from a separate, unique, and individual pieces of art.
3. Each icon must feature both the animated and the live action version of a Twilight character OR feature a live character interacting with a different animated character (or vice versa).
Any character featured in the Twilight movie (i.e. Victoria) must be potrayed by the official movie cast member in his/her live form, otherwise anyone may portray a character (i.e. Jane).
4. Permission to use these pieces was given to me on behalf of Twiconathon icon makers by the artists themselves FOR THIS CHALLENGE ONLY.
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.
