Oh, that sounds interesting! I don't know if I'll have enough time yet, but I'm signing up for now!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Hehe!I feel you on the time!No worries,I'll keep you added for now. :D

[tinny]

Okay i need to withdraw.

I wanted to make icons inspired by colors of different flags, but it turns out that this is much more political than I'm comfortable with (i.e. putting Chinese actors together with flags of other countries). It might work if I don't draw attention to it, but that's not going to happen if I post them within this challenge... oops. So I can't do that.

Then I tried coming up with other things to be inspired by, but somehow it all felt wrong, so I'm stuck now.

I'm sorry. It's a really nice challenge, I just can't get away from my need to icon Zhu Yilong all the time. *sigh*

[abyss_valkyrie]

Heyyy!Oh,I did not think about it from that perspective at all,oops!No worries, I'll just have to wait for Zhu Yilong icons on other pages!XD

Great!

[fallleaves]

Probably a dumb question. But how many icons do you do for this? And does it have to be one theme or can you pick different ones for each or a couple? Sorry, still new to this comm and figuring things out.

[abyss_valkyrie]

Hello. For this round your icons must represent a country or city using colours,stock images, character or any other way. You can choose to make icons for one country,2 country or as many different ones as you like.The total number of icons are going to be 10 icons.
You can also make icons showing other countries that are not shown in the inspo post.

Thanks for using one of my icons in the inspo post! I am not sure if I have enough time to do this challenge though!

[abyss_valkyrie]

No worries, your icon was perfect for the theme!:D If you want to join in,you're welcome to do so and you can always check out the other entries,that's also a way of participating. ;)
