3. Submit 15 icons of your LATEST STOCK ICONS (no less, no more, and please NO more than 3 months old), show us variety! variety is love and we want to see your use of coloring, textures, cropping, use of text, and also how you use the different themes in stock images, so please varierty! don't show us all stock icons from people, we want variety! ). (it's more than possible that I check you graphics lj to see your work too). (remember that stock images are NOT fashion images or text images from weheartit or fffound).

6. Finally, we don't claim to be the best iconmakers or something stupid like that, just simple we want the best makers participating, so please don't take it personally when you are rejected.

- perfect coloring in every icon! variety of coloring ; not always the same coloring!
- not blurry!

ACLARATION OF WHAT STOCK IMAGES ARE:
fffound and weheartit images are not all stock images - only a 10% are stock -, they're bookmark places where people mark lots of images not exactly ALL stock. I mean the 'text images' like those:
1. |
2. |
3. |
4. |
5. | are NOT stock pictures. Those are text pictures
>> Good sites to find stock images:
