I know you're seeing black and white
So I'll paint you a clear blue sky
Without you I am colour-blind
It's raining every time I open my eyes
--Troye Sivan, "Blue"

The sky grew darker, painted blue on blue, one stroke at a time, into deeper and deeper shades of night.
― Haruki Murakami, "Dance Dance Dance"

Nice

Wow, what a beautiful post! I'll be sure to make a set for this challenge :)

[narnialover7.livejournal.com]

Really pretty post! I'm excited to try to make some icons for the challenge! :D

[novindalf]

Beautiful insp post and great starter theme! The second to last icon is by lagerthass by the way, not laferthass :P Also, could I request that icons/textures are posted with spaces between them? I'm finding it difficult to focus on them all together like that :(

(Thank you for including a few of my icons btw!)

Is there a code we need to fill out for the voting?

[moonshinefaerie.livejournal.com]

BLUE, MY FAVORITE COLOR. Oh this inspiration post is gorgeous~!

[vapor.livejournal.com]

^_^

[vapor.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to it!

[vapor.livejournal.com]

Thank you for pointing that out! I fixed the username and added spaces. :)

[vapor.livejournal.com]

Nope, no code needed.

[vapor.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you like it. :)

[novindalf]

Thank you so much!

I ❤ you for including that Dance Dance Dance quote. One of my favourite books ever. Saving this post because it's a beauty!

Silly question! I know that at least 5 of 20 icons has to be inspired by the principal theme, but what about the rest? They need to be inspired by the icons and the other art? Or they're "artists choice"?

[vapor.livejournal.com]

Oh I've never read it. I'll have to check it out. :)

[vapor.livejournal.com]

The rest can be artist's choice. Only 5 need to be "themed." :)

[debris4spike]

I am still slightly confused ... am I right in thinking 20 icons of any (appropriate) image, but with the theme of "blazing blue" .... or is there another theme I have missed

[vapor.livejournal.com]

That's okay! It's our first round so there are bound to be lots of questions. :) Every round, there will be one theme (this round it's "blazing blue") and five of your icons must be inspired by that theme. The other 15 are up to you, aka artist's choice. But you have the option of making all 20 icons inspired by the theme. Since we've eliminated sign-ups, the subject(s) of your icons can be whatever you want.

Thanks

I really appreciate that this comm offers so much freedom to do ACs, while also giving inspiration for a theme. The former helps me so much when I have lots of my own ideas while the latter works great for me during less inspired times, so this just seems like a perfect comm for me!

[vapor.livejournal.com]

That makes me so happy to hear!! :)
