Activity #34: Two's Company

[seraphina_snape]

This month's activity is group icons.

In my years of icon making I noticed that the majority of icons only feature one person, so this is going to be new - or at least unfamiliar - ground for a lot of people. Sometimes it's hard to fit more than one person into an icon, but on the other hand sometimes you really need the whole group in an icon to make your point. So your challenge this month is to make icons featuring at least two characters. There is no upper limit - feel free to cram as many people into one icon as you can fit. *g*

Any fandoms are welcome, as well as any cast/celeb icons.

Some examples to inspire you:

exotik mintsnow emmatheslayer seraphina_snape fuesch


The usual rules apply:

* There is no limit on the number of icons you can make
* Comments and praise for other people's icons during this activity is of course always welcome!
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community
* I will post all the icons in a roundup post at the end of the activity

Deadline: Sunday, February 23

LOOOOL!!This is a challenge for sure,because iconing more than two characters is haaard but also fun. *sweat*

Questions?

[seraphina_snape]

Almost forgot this... if you have any questions, ask them here!

[seraphina_snape]

I know, right? Group icons are so much work, but the end result is usually pretty cool...

Great theme this round. Group icons are so much fun to make.

Hi. I'm brand new here. Do we post our icons as a comment to this post?

[emmatheslayer]

You used me thank you lots

Re: Questions?

[seraphina_snape]

Yes, just leave a comment here with your icons. I'll make a round-up post at the end of the activity.

[seraphina_snape]

It's a cool icon! Plus it's Dark Angel, how could I not? *g*

[seraphina_snape]

Awesome icons! I love the colours! (And there's so much Harry Potter! *g*)

[magicrubbish]

Thank you so much. ☺️
Well, there can never be too many Harry Potter icons.

Re: Questions?

[oldtoadwoman]

Fantastic. As it happens, I was already struggling with some Star Wars icons (so much going on in one frame and even though I'd like to include all the characters, it's just easier to crop it down to one face at a time). This will be my motivation to keep working at those shots with multiple characters in them.

\o/

I'm laughing most of all that you managed to pick HIStory3 Trapped icons from both me and abyss_valkyrie. :D That's not an easy feat! :D

And I love the challenge! Thank you so much!

Re: Questions?

[seraphina_snape]

Yeah, that's the struggle with group icons. But it's usually worth the struggle, so keep at it! I can't wait to see those icons! *g*

Re: Questions?

[seraphina_snape]

I did? I honestly didn't notice. I was just scanning for icons that would fit the theme, but now that you mentioned it, yeah, that's the same two guys. lol

No problem. *g*

Star Wars

[oldtoadwoman]

There will be more. I don't do a great job of limiting myself to just the best few.

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15

I think my favorite is 13/14 just because it came out looking like a cheesy paperback novel cover, but it's just a screengrab from the film.

Re: Questions?

[oldtoadwoman]

I just posted the first fifteen. (Yes, first, I've got a folder full of screengrabs to finish sorting through.)

[abyss_valkyrie]

[abyss_valkyrie]

12th one is a really cool icon!

[magicrubbish]

Thank you so much. :D

Re: Star Wars

[magicrubbish]

Old Star Wars series was the best . <3
Lovely set. I particularly liked icons 5, 6 and 10. <3

Re: Star Wars

[oldtoadwoman]

Thanks! Star Wars is so entwined in childhood nostalgia for me so it's all about the main heroes.

Re: Star Wars

[oldtoadwoman]

♥ Thanks! ♥

Re: Star Wars

[seraphina_snape]

I don't know much about Star Wars, but these are cool! I love the colouring in 10, and whatever is going on in 9. And I like all the happy faces in 6-8. *g*

Re: Star Wars

[oldtoadwoman]

Thanks! 6-8 are close to the end of the movie, the happy ending after they have defeated the forces of evil. They really are adorable.

[tinny]

Heee, lol, I thought it should be more than two. :DD That definitely was a challenge!
