Round 42: A look back & a look forward

[abyss_valkyrie]

Welcome to Round 42,everyone!

THEME
For this round, you will be creating TWO SETS of 5 icons.
5 icons reflecting your style/fandom/technique etc. from 2021. What was/were your favourite fandom(s) to icon in 2021? Your most used technique or styles that you enjoyed in 2021? All 5 icons can use the same fandom/technique or you can show different things in each icon.

AND

5 icons showing us things you look forward to trying out in 2022. This is somewhat like an icon resolution; you can create an icon using techniques that you want to get better at or fandoms you are excited about. All 5 icons can showcase the same idea or you can create 5 icons each depicting 5 different ideas or 2 of the same idea and 3 of another etc..

1. Sign ups will be open to the end of this round, which will be 10th Feb,2022..
2. You don't have to sign up, but some people enjoy the challenge of sticking to their theme
3. Post your icons either in your graphics comm or a post at this community. If you post at your graphics comm, make a post here also and link to your comm with 3 icons as preview.
4.Since this is a fandom community, please icon fandoms only. You can incorporate stock into the icons but it must be primarily a fandom centered icon.If you have any questions,please ask below. :)
5. Please use the template when posting in the comm. It would make it easier for me to post voting. (you only need to paste your links in and remove the one space here -> </ textarea>

the style part of this is a little too meta for me, but I might do last year's fandoms and the fandoms I'm looking forward to this year...? so if that's okay, sign me up!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Absolutely cool. It's just that you have to pick something from last year and something you're looking forward to this year.:)

[green]

Got it! I'll try my best.

[nondenomifan]

Hi, green! So glad to see you participating in our little community. I've enjoyed your icon making through the years on LJ. Very glad you're on DW now, too!

[green]

Thank you! That's so sweet. I participate very rarely but I always watch the icon comms.

[geckoholic]

Yes please, I’m in!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Wonderful!Adding you!

[alexia_drake]

I'm in :)

[abyss_valkyrie]

YESSS!

[tinny]

Oh this is so neat! I will try and fit it in... but maybe don't sign me up just yet. I'll need to see how all the other challenges this month go. /o\

[abyss_valkyrie]

Haha!I totally understand.Nowadays I'm creating half sets and then committing to challenges. XD

[magicrubbish]

I've no such favorite style or technique either going forward or backward, so is it okay if I do a full fandom set ?? In that case, I'd like to sign up.

[abyss_valkyrie]

Hey!Absolutely okay!Just take something from last year and some things you're looking forward to in this year. :)

[nondenomifan]

Oh, good, because that's how I read it and what I was going to do! :)

[nondenomifan]

*takes bracing breath* I think I can do this round. Sounds easy enough, and if my mother and I manage not to get ill or hurt ourselves anymore...I'll have time to make some icons for the challenge! *bares teeth* Plus, I may very well have to quarantine myself for a while.... GRRR, ARRGH.

[abyss_valkyrie]

Aaahh!*sends comforting hugs*
Yes,not much of a technical challenge-this round, so hopefully we all get to complete it. :D I'll add your name to the list,just let me know if something comes up.

[dani_meows]

Ooh this sounds like fun. Signs up.
