Challenge 164: Rainbow Pass-it-On 2

[luminousdaze]

Challenge 164
The new theme is...
Rainbow Pass-it-On 2

For this challenge, as suggested by goodbyebird , we can once again play next color pass-it-on with the seven hues of the rainbow!
This time we can use the modern rainbow not the Newtonian one. So we combine blue and indigo and add cyan after green!

These are the seven colors:

1. Red, 2. Orange, 3. Yellow, 4. Green, 5. Cyan, 6. Blue, 7. Violet (Purple)

 

Special Rules for Challenge 164:

Make 1 icon each time of the current color that is following the previous icon posted by someone else.

Please follow the order of rainbow colors above, going from 1-7. 
That's red through violet and back over again in an endless loop!

Enter up to 21 times per person.

If you have made an icon for a color but missed the chance to post, you'll have to wait for the color to come back around.
The Dreamwidth server has been wonky lately so you may have to refresh your browser to see the latest posts.

Other:

Purple isn't a spectral color but it's close to violet to human eyes, so we can use either for violet.

It is not required to add the words in parenthesis to your subject lines or posts, those are just for clarification of the color differences.

 You don't need add the full challenge title (rainbow pass it etc) in your subject line, unless you want to, the color name alone will be okay.

Hi! I'm new here so I had a couple questions. Is it allowed to put text on icons for this comm (like a poetic phrase, the character's name in Chinese characters, etc.)? And is it okay to use my own drawings or doodles as a basis? (I'm not a good artist, if that makes a difference -- I'm a fic writer who draws a little for fun.)

If it's not allowed that's fine, I just wanted to check. :D

[luminousdaze]

Hello! :)

Yes, text on icons is allowed for challenge 164. Text on icons is usually allowed, unless stated otherwise in the challenge post.

Yes, original art is okay to use. But like most challenges, this round will have competitive voting.
The challenge is an icon-making challenge, not specifically an art contest for people to judge art works, but you may want to keep this in mind (if you don't want people to vote on your original art works).

If you use original drawings, fan art, etc. to make entries, the images and icons still should fit the regular Icon That challenge rules (listed above), including the theme of the challenge and the content rules.

Content rules are :
No adults-only, or mature viewers only content, or 18+ NSFW (as written in the profile).
No real-world politics or religion topics.

Thanks for the clarifications! I appreciate the heads up. I won't take it personally if those icons don't do well in the voting! With both art and icon-making, my main goal is to play around and learn things -- if I get votes it will be a bonus. *g*

And thanks for the rules reminders. I don't have any 18+/NSFW art, so that's not an issue. Oops, I just realized I was about to (maybe??) break the no religion rule? The first drawings I was thinking about using are of creatures from Egyptian mythology, Japanese folklore, and Jewish folklore (the last one isn't more specifically religious than the others -- it's a little (fictional) worm called the shamir). Just to check, do those fall under religion, or no? (I promise I'm not trying to nitpick the rules, and if you say not to use those, it is absolutely not a problem.) Sorry for asking dumb questions!

[luminousdaze]

You're welcome. This was a tough question to answer I think need more coffee. 😄

The first drawings I was thinking about using are of creatures from Egyptian mythology, Japanese folklore, and Jewish folklore (the last one isn't more specifically religious than the others -- it's a little (fictional) worm called the shamir).

Ancient mythology, folklore, fairy tales or legends are all right to use. Ancient gods like Anubis, Aphrodite, Hercules aren't really religions anymore & have been in fictional works for centuries.

This one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon%27s_shamir

You'll have to decide. If you think it's part of anyone's religious faith, in the present day, then it's not allowed. If it's mythology or legend it is allowed.

What the rule means mostly is no icons of real life (modern day) religion topics. So, no using religious faiths as "fandoms" for real world religious leaders like real-world popes, televangelists, etc. And, no icons of modern day real-life religion or faith-based quotes from scriptures like the Bible, Torah, Quran, Book of Mormon, etc.

Philosophy quotes would be okay, but not things that are specifically pro or anti towards any real-life religion either, like, for example, icons of quotes from Richard Dawkins about religion.

Icons of popular holidays of religious origins are allowed, if the icons fit the themes. So stock photos of things like Hanukkah decorations, Xmas trees, Easter bunnies, Halloween candy, Diwali lights, etc. or fandom icons of TV shows and movies about characters celebrating holidays are all allowed.

With both art and icon-making, my main goal is to play around and learn things....

If you like learning about drawing I think you'd like drawesome, they have some great challenges for drawing & art. I'm not sure what kind of digital art they allow these days.

[zdenka]

Thanks for the answers and clarifications! (And sorry for requiring the extra coffee, haha . . .)

And thanks for the rec, I'll check out drawesome.
