Info
• You must be a member and have signed up for this round to participate.
• All icons must be newly made for this round. Do not use previously made icons.
• You are allowed to use pictures containing nudity and graphics imagery. Just keep those behind you're LJ-Cut tag.
• If you would like a participation banner make sure you wrote it outside lj cuts/links.
• Please do not post your icon set to Photobucket or tinypic, use other free image hosting sites at this time while that site is going through what it is doing. Chances are your images will not show at all if you do. I do however recommend: Cloudinary (similar to photobucket), Imgur, Imgbb & any others you can think of that work well.
Posting
• Post only once your set is completed. Do not submit your icons to this post, instead make a post of your own using the guidelines below.
• Your icons must fit DW standards and be made specifically for this round. 100x100px and either .png, .gif or .jpg file format.
• Provide three (3) teaser icons and hide the rest behind an lj-cut, or provide a link to your icons should you post them elsewhere. If posting to an outside source your icons should be made public for the duration of the round.
• Please, if you participate try to at least check out the other participants entries. It's another reason why we have an unlocked rule. You would want people to check out yours and vice versa, it's only fair.
• Fan art is not accepted; use caution when choosing images. DO NOT USE BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOS, unless the theme calls for it. You may however use Episode Still and Promos. Animation is NOT allowed, unless otherwise stated for a certain prompt.
• Use the table provided or use your own if you'd like, but keep the themes in order.
• DO NOT ADD TAGS TO YOUR ENTRIES. A MOD WILL DO THAT.
• Posting is moderated; once your post is submitted please await approval. If your post hasn’t been approved within 48 hours please contact me or comment to this post.
• Please add the following subject, just add your username. FORMAT AS: Round 12 - Your Claim - Your Username.
As always thank you for the suggestions, I used some for this round.

reubenchives • thewizardofoz • thewizardofoz
Multiple Blending - In this task, you need to add at least 3 different caps in one icon, which is different from the last round where you had to duplicate the base.
jsfunction • scoobyatemysnax • chaoticroad
Fashionista - Icon you're claim being fashionable or dressed up nicely.
abyss_valkyrie • abyss_valkyrie • abyss_valkyrie
Clockwise/Anti-Clockwise - The main focus of your icon must be rotated so it is sideways, as per the examples above!
wickdshy • wise2paperdreamss • thewizardofoz
Glowy Look - You must use many light textures to make the 'glowy look', like the flying wind.
watchpoint • lil_art • fancifull
5 Layers - Your icon has to made in ONLY 5 LAYERS, no less, no more. The more simple, the better. Your task here is to work with the simpliest look, work more with the crop, maybe some simple coloring. ALSO ADD THE PSD OR THE PRINT SCREEN OF LAYERS!
neke (?) • watchpoint • jsfunction
Dark - Your icon has to have the darkest color you can achive. It can have some lighter spots, but overall coloring has to be dark.
absolutelybatty • octoberprimrose • library_of_sex
Less is More - This memorable quote is saying, the less things we put in icon (referring to the computer graphics), the preetier icon is. Now you have to make icon the simpliest you can get, without any redundant textures, accesories, coloring.
boxed • messdestruction • sietepecados
In the Air - In this icon you can't use shadow behind your character IN ANY FORM (so if in the cap there was a shadow of the character you CAN'T use it in icon, you have to cut it off). It makes the chatacter is 'flying' in the icon.
liesmith • theskyinside • scoobyatemysnax
Patterned Background - Icon you're claim with a patterned background.
thewizardofoz • thewizardofoz • thewizardofoz
Category Set - Valentine's Day - Valentine's Day is coming, get inspired by the day! Be creative and have fun!
