Your task now is to make an icon out of each one of them.
You can use other caps in your icons too, but please make the chosen cap the main focus of the icon!

The deadline is 28th Feb, but don't hesitate to ask if you need more time.

And for most of you that is probably ridiculously long for just 12 icons, so you might want to consider taking one of the following extra challenges: (these are completely optional, but of course I'd love to see icons for these as well! :D They'll all be included in the battle post.)

Extra challenge 1 - themes
You came up with some awesome themes, and they're just begging to be used!

negative space

vintage/nostalgia
levels
monotone
song lyrics
darkness
black & white
blending
blue
blur
emptiness

vibrant

So for those of you who want more challenge, extra challenge 1 is to either mix and match these themes with the primary or secondary caps, or to make a new icon with self-chosen caps for the themes.

You can do the extra challenges partially and use only the themes and caps that inspire you. Also feel free to mix them up in any way you like. The only rules are that in the end there must be an icon for all the primary caps, and that each icon you make for this battle must use at least one of the following: a primary cap, a secondary cap or a theme.

When you're done, submit your icons as a reply to this post in the following form. After everyone has submitted theirs, I'll make a big result post with all of our icons where people can comment to each other.

//Edit: I'll make the comments screened so that everyone's icons will be revealed at the same time - this is just to keep an element of surprise and so that everyone's interpretations will be as different as possible!
I'll unscreen all other comments (discussion, questions etc).

I hope that made any sense, if not please ask, I'm terrible at explaining stuff :p Also let me know asap if I made a mistake with the caps or themes or anything!

If anyone still wants to join and do the already chosen caps, you can sign up here at any time before the icon submission deadline.

Hope you'll have fun with this, and please do express any thoughts, questions or concerns you might have :)

YAY! That's a really great way of setting it up! Can't wait to get started doing ALL THE THINGS! :D ((and I probably should before you announce the themes for Farscape 20in20. What was I thinking again, signing up for both??? :O :P))

Hee, thanks :D
IKR! I have these challenges + a full set of 20 icons for

20inspirations and a 30-icon

theiconquest Farscape battle to do this month. Wasn't I supposed to do fewer challenges this year? .____.

Which is why I'll probably do only 12 icons for this, but I think I'm taking extra challenge 1 and hoping the themes will go well with the primary caps :>

Just to clarify for this frazzled brain.. are we keeping our entries a secret? Or can we post them, etc?

Good question - I was thinking that there would be this big results post that I'll post in this comm, containing all our icons (with proper labels of who made which icons ofc!), and then the participants could just make pimping posts in their comms linking to that post. But of course the icons you make are yours so if you'd rather post just yours in a separate post, that's completely fine too :) I hope this answered your question!

Hmm, I wonder if it actually would be more fun to keep them 'secret' until the results post, meaning that I'd make the comments here screened? I could do that.
