Smallbatchicons Request Fest 4.0
(font is a bit small, open in light mode if you have any issues.)
3weeks4dreamwidth has just kicked off, and what's a journalling platform celebration without some shiny new icons!This is a multi-fandom/stock request fest, and anyone can join in :)
requests.
* Every person can make up to five requests, with up to five images per request (one request per comment to keep things tidy). You can also request quote icons, in which case you'd supply quotes instead of images, but keep in mind that the maker only has 100x100 pixels to work with.
* Preferably high-quality or medium-quality images. Cap/stock resources here.
* No hotlinking, upload images to your own server/DW Gallery. Imgur is also a good option. Link to the images instead of embedding them, to cut down on loading time.
* You can make requests without filling prompts.
* Every request must be themed(actor, show, color, character, trope, season, emotion, go wild!).
* Keep in mind that icons don't go behind a cut, so avoid spoilers and overly sexual/violent images.
* Requests should have a clear subject line, f.exa. Our Flag Means Death, Leather Daddies | Stock, joy | Actress, Tessa Thompson | Quotes, Dr. Seuss.
* All icons will be sharable.
fills.
* Each request fill goes in a new post to the community, with the theme in the subject line(Yellowjackets, Missy). The fill should not be placed as a comment reply, but a new post to the community.
* Comment to the request thread with the subject line request filled. Include a link to your post. That way the requester knows where to find his or her icons.
* Several makers may fill the same request.
* Tag the posts with !request fest
* Prompt fills can have a maximum of five icons.
* Tracking the post is a handy way to spot new requests (paid account only).
* It would be appreciated if you could follow the posting template.
* Partial fills are more than welcome. We're all about the small batches ;)
Remember, comments are always appreciated, and credit the maker if you snag one of their icons.
This will be even more fun if you bring your friends, so banner codes for pimping below.
The request fest starts today, and ends on May 15th. After that requests can still be filled, but not made.
Cap/stock resources here. The sites are well indexed, finding what you want isn't all that hard. Promo pics or screengrabbing streaming video is also a most valid option :)
If there's anything I've missed or made unclear, let me know in the COMMENTS/QUESTIONS thread below. Iconning is a fun fannish activity and we hope more of you will join us. Here's a recent Iconning 101 post at
oh_crime (links free graphics programs), a small intro on comic book iconning at comicbook_icons, and the past Tips & Tuts posts here at the community.
