Welcome to challenge #2x05, "Shadows".
For this challenge, each icon you make must contain shadows; drop-shadows, perspective shadows, shadows-on-the-wall; some kind of shadow.
Challenge is now closed!
Examples:
(sorry I don't have more varied examples this time)
Techniques:
- layers
- layer masks
- drop-shadows
- perspective
Useful (GIMP) tutorials:
- basics
- Gimp For The Artistically Challenged
- Creating Shadows in GIMP
Rules:
1. From one to four icons can be submitted.
2. You have two weeks to submit the icons; that is, they are due on27th of September 12th of October (that's my time, Australian time, so for some of you that will be the 26th of September 11th of October).
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 the27th of September 12th of October, 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:
Due27th of September 12th of October, post entries here, don't show them elsewhere.

Also, if you have any ideas for challenges you would like to see, don't hesitate to suggest them in the suggestions post. No, I'm not running out of ideas, but feedback is good.
