icon_styleWelcome to challenge #2x12, "Blues". Since my challenges have obviously been too hard, it's a REALLY REALLY easy one this time.
For this challenge, each icon you make must be in shades of blue, or dominated by the colour blue.
And if we don't get more than three people entering this time, I give up.
Examples:
(okay, so I like blue!)
Techniques:
- layers
- desaturation
- colours
Useful tutorials:
- basics
- Gimp For The Artistically Challenged
Rules:
1. From one to four icons can be submitted.
2. You have two weeks to submit the icons; that is, they are due on 17th of July(that's my time, Australian time, so for some of you that will be the 16th of July).
3. Icons will be submitted in comments to this post. All comments will be screened, to preserve anonymity.
4. As soon as I can after the 17th of July, I will make a voting poll here. People will then have three days to vote.
There will be two sections in the voting: (a) "Best embodiment of style"; this you vote for whichever icon you think demonstrates the style/technique of the given challenge (b) "I just like it"; where you vote for whichever icon you simply like the best.
5. You are required NOT to post your icons anywhere public until after the voting is over, so as to preserve the anonymity of the entries.
6. When the voting is over, I'll announce the winners here. Discussion of the challenge will be encouraged, especially discussion and demonstration of techniques used. The entries will also be un-screened.
In short:
Due 17th of July, post entries here, don't show them elsewhere.
If you know any good tutorials for this challenge, please post a link.
And please pimp this far and wide!
Also, if you have any ideas for challenges you would like to see, don't hesitate to suggest them in the suggestions post. We want to present challenges that YOU want to be challenged by.
