ROUND 03 / CHALLENGE 09

2007-09-15T05:56:40Z

Rules:
• You must submit TWO icons.
• All icons must be LJ standards (no larger than 100x100 or 40KB)
• Brushes, textures etc are allowed. Animation is not.
• Please post the URLs with your icons when submitting. All comments are screened.
• Skips are no longer permitted
• Your icon must remain anonymous until voting is over.
• Icons are due THURSDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER, 9PM PST

Challenge:
For this challenge you are to create an icon set (meaning two icons that should be recognisable as a set) - one icon is to feature the character of your choice, the other icon the actor portraying said character (i.e. I could choose Booth/David) - basically the same person should be in both icons. You are allowed to feature other characters/people in your icon but the main focus of each icon MUST be the character/actor of your choice.

Text, textures, brushes, pretty much everything else is fair game. Please post questions in a separate comment.
