So the vote ended up being 17-7 in favor of continuing this competition, and I'm really grateful that so many people are still interested in this comm. ♥ I promise - five more weeks and we're done. No more interruptions!
Challenge 11: Super-Special Events
Everyone knows the biggest shindigs occur with three different types of milestones in the course of a lifetime - weddings, babies, and funerals. Your icon this week must feature a scene related to weddings, babies or funerals/death.
Are you up for a little gamble? There's a secondary aspect to this challenge. If you so choose (meaning it is not mandatory), you may adhere to slightly stricter guidelines for this challenge. If you want to take a gamble, your icon of weddings, babies and funerals must be entirely black and white with only one visible color. It must have one color other than black/white. If you make an icon that fits these specifications, you are put into a different voting table and are eligible for 700 gil. There will only be one winner of 700 gil, and if you make the gamble icon, you are not eligible for standard placing. Will you take the risk?
