AboutThis community, doctorwholims was inspired by the various LIMS communities around and about LiveJournal. LIMS stands for Last Icon Maker Standing, and is open to everyone; as long as you sign up prior to the challenge starting. LIMS competitors need to be able to cope with being eliminated from the challenge should the time come. Rules
[-] all participants must be members of the community
[-] you must join before the challenge starts, and comment on the relevant post with this word: "exterminate" to take part. The official closing date for sign up for Challenge 3 is November 5th: the first round will be up on the 6th.
[-] you cannot use other bases for the icon; all icons must be new
[-] only the images provided can be used, unless otherwise stated; however the use of brushes, textures, gradients and stock images are allowed
