Community Profile

NextIcon is an icon creating challenge community where you make an icon inspired by the previously posted icon.
You "pass-on" the inspiration from the previous icon not by making an exact copy the other person's icon but by taking something from it to inspire your own icon.
This can be as direct as using the same colors, the movie, TV show, or celeb or as vague a similar font, image crop, abstract theme or a word association.

Archived community description:
---------------------
This is a continuous pass-it-on icon contest without having to post a next picture or word to use.
The inspiration is the icon that was posted by the person before you.
Do not copy the icon, let it inspire you. The inspiration can be the icon's style, subject, etc.

The connection doesn't have to be blatantly obvious. If it's a b/w icon that inspires you to make a very colourful icon, go for it. If it's an icon of Christian Bale which makes you think Batman-Superman-comics-reading and you end up making an icon of books, that's absolutely fine. In case of the train of thought not being obvious please include a short explanation of the inspiration for your icon.

> create a new icon inspired by the icon last posted to nexticon
> do not copy the icon, use it as inspiration
> in case of the inspiration not being obvious, include an explanation
> it is not necessary to make note of who is pictured in the icon, but it is nice
> if someone else has already posted a new icon in the time you were working on yours, you can still post your icon but make sure to include which icon it was inspired by
> submit your entry, image and URL, to the community in a new post
> add your username tag (add the following tag '!!add username tag please' if you haven't got one yet)
> add the round tag if you want your icon included in the voting
> you can post as many times you want as long as there is at least one icon by someone else between your entries
> your icon should be: 60 Kb or less, 100x100 or less, .gif, .jpg or .png, no animation
> voting is somewhat irregular, but the guidelines followed are more or less that it will be posted once there are 25 entries or one month has passed since the last voting was posted, whichever one comes first.
