Participants and their claims
The following people on this list are participating in this round. No claims this round - use whomever and whichever episodes you like! But read the prompts carefully! ;)
Themes
% Sketchy Make an icon focused on a cap from 1X07: Sketchy
% Sketching Make an icon which looks like one of the drawings from 1X07. (Icon can be of anything; when I say "looks like", I mean, in the style of that drawing; it doesn't have to be a sketch actually used in the episode.)
% Laughing Stock Make an icon which looks like a ridiculous stock photo (this Tumblr has good examples of silly stock photos!)
% Fail Make an icon showing a character failing at something, in a Failblog sort of way (maybe falling on their face, spilling coffee - or even a Trouble victim looking ridiculous out of context).
% Looking Through You Make an icon with a transparent portion - it can be transparent background or just a transparent piece.
% Best Guess Feature your favorite guest star or plot point.
% Worst Ever Feature a character - or a plot point - you hate.
% 8 bit Make an icon that looks pixelated, like 8bit animation. (There's a tutorial here, if that's helpful!) It doesn't have to be exactly 8bit, but it should look very pixelated.
% High Res The opposite of your pixelated choice - use the same image as you chose for the previous icon, but make it beautiful and detailed and glossy; as high def as you can!
% Five Card Draw Make an icon featuring five different facial images. They can be the same character or different characters, any way you like.
Please when you post this set, post a link to the cap you used for "best guess"and for "worst ever" below your table - this cap will be used in a later round! (If possible, please upload the cap to your own imagehost and link from there rather than hotlinking from another site.)
Category
% hint, hint, hint
Create 5 icons, each one featuring a clue we have learned about the life/lives of Sarah/Lucy/Audrey/Lexie over time.
The icons don't have to feature Audrey or any of her incarnations (although they can). They can be quite specific: you could have an icon with the Lucy Ripley photo, or Sarah's ring; an icon with the Hunter meteors or the barn or even an icon showing a conversation where Audrey learns something. Or you could be more general - an icon featuring Colorado, the field they all stand in to find the barn, or even the Stephen King novel itself. Text-only icons are fine as part of the category submissions, but you must have at least 1 image focused icon in the set.
Artist’s Choice
Create 5 icons of your choice.
The table is below: copy and add the links to your icons to create your post:
