Challenge 67
Where have all of the WaT related pictures gone? Does anyone know? I wanted to do a "cast in other roles" challenge as suggested by _elvie, but I couldn't find very many example pictures, so forget finding enough for people to icon. infedelssurveillance is still no more; federalthreesome's gallery has been gutted, such that I couldn't find any of the pictures that used to be there, even of the main three that the site is purportedly about; Pretty FBI boys, Absolutely Enrique, The Source, and MPUE did have WaT caps, and even some candids of the actors, but I couldn't find anything of the actors in other roles. The only site that I found with caps of an actor in another role was EricClose.net, and as amusing as I found the pictures (especially the one of EC in Hercules), I couldn't do a challenge of just EC.
So, really, if anyone knows where these pictures could be found, I would be eternally grateful. If not, I might have to give in and use NetFlix and PowerDVD to make my own captures. (And the last thing I need in my life is another distraction! *grin* *sigh*)
Sorry about that. Hours of looking for non-existant pictures tends to make me a wee bit cranky.
So as the first suggestion didn't pan out, I'm going to the second. ockle suggested that I "borrow" from obsessiveicons yet again and do a word challenge. I decided that it would be an interesting idea. So, your challenge for the week is to use a picture to define or demonstrate a word/concept. Said word/concept needs to be stated on your icon, but feel free to add additional text (such as the definition) if you so desire. (If you add extraneous text such as a quote or a lyric or something, please have the word be the prominent text, with the other as secondary. If you have questions, ask.)
Some examples...

You can even do animated...

You can find a bunch more examples here and here and here.
So to sum up this week's special rule: you must have a prominent word displayed on your icon and the image (WaT-related, of course) must define or be an example of said word.
The Other Rules
**You may submit three icons this week.
**You are free to use any pictures (picture sources can be found in the userinfo, or, actually, earlier in this post in my rant *grin*), textures, brushes, etc. that you would like.
**You may blend caps or animate this week.
**Please submit your icons to this post, both the icon and the url please.
**Don't share your icons until voting is finished.
**Icons are due Friday, September 22nd by midnight EST. Here is that time converted to other time zones.
If you're new or just want a refresher, you can check out the userinfo for a complete set of rules.
If you need any help with entering the challenge there is a tutorial here.
And again, if you have any suggestions, please visit here to make them. (Or, heck, just mention them anywhere; I'll listen to whatever you suggest, wherever you suggest it! *grin*)
As the season should be starting right around the time of the voting for this challenge, and summer is pretty much over for us Northern Hemisphere people, I was thinking about going back to the one week challenges after this one. That is, unless, everyone prefers the two week schedule so you have a complete weekend to work on the icons. Let me know.
If you have yet to vote for the current challenge, please do so. I haven't officially tallied up the votes yet, but they appear to be all over the place (it took 5 people before an icon got a second vote!) so every vote counts.
Again, I apologize for the delay. And the mini-rant.
